Fast-draw, sharp-shooter, Bob Munden of Butte, dies of heart attack
Bob Munden, known perhaps equally as a fierce Fast-Draw competitor who was recognized by Guinness World Records as The Fastest Man with a Gun Who Ever Lived, died Monday in a Butte hospital.
Munden, 70, a long-time Butte resident, was an entertainer as well as a master gun smith who developed groundbreaking methods of customizing to perfection the beloved .45 caliber single action revolver and other guns, died Monday of heart failure.
Munden’s wife and performance partner, Becky, said Tuesday, she was driving home with Bob after treatment at a Missoula hospital for what doctors described as a mild heart attack.
At some point between Missoula and their home in Butte, Munden said he was experiencing chest pains, and later died.
The 70-year-old shooting sports superstar was pronounced dead at St. James Heathcare in Butte.
Born Feb. 8, 1942, in Kansas City, Mo., Munden began his professional shooting career at age 11 in Big Bear Lake, Calif. While still in high school, Bob placed second in a competition known as the Leatherslap.
After years of competing in fast draw, Bob and Becky performed together beginning in 1968, emphasizing the importance of gun safety when they went on tour in 1969 for the National School Assembly Program.
