Robert Munden (February 8, 1942 – December 10, 2012) was an American exhibition shooter who performed with handguns, rifles and shotguns. He is most well known for holding 18 world records in the sport of Fast Draw and having the title "Fastest Man with a Gun Who Ever Lived" bestowed upon him by Guinness World Records. Munden was born in Kansas City, Missouri, United States, and started his shooting career at age 11 in Southern California. Beginning in high school, Bob competed in Jeff Cooper's Big Bear "Leatherslaps" shooting competitions at Big Bear Lake, California in the 1950s. The Leatherslaps eventually became the South Western Combat Pistol League (SWCPL). When Munden was 16, he placed second in the 1958 Leatherslap using a Colt .45 Single Action borrowed from Cooper. He claimed to have won over 3,500 fast draw trophies. After taking up exhibition shooting, Munden gave many demonstrations to audiences across the country, once with John Satterwhite. Munden also gave shooting demonstrations on television shows the world over, including Stan Lee's Superhumans on the History Channel, on American Shooter, Shooting USA, Shooting USA's Impossible Shots and Ripley's Believe It or Not among others. Munden was also a custom gunsmith.
