After decades of experience shooting and customizing guns so they can withstand the rigors of Fast Draw and other competitive shooting sports like CAS, Bob Munden has a lot to say.

TOPIC:
SASS End of Trail 2010
June, 2010

Becky and I will not entertain or attend End of Trail at Founder’s Ranch in New Mexico this year. It will mark the very first time we’ve missed the event in the 29-year history of the SASS World Championships of Cowboy Action Shooting. Our decision to stay home (and in the shop) is because recent medical issues (which I have overcome,) caused me to become behind in my customer gunwork.

It takes a lot of time to prepare for our live-ammunition exhibition. Those who have seen it know it is quite elaborate to say the least. We spend a full month preparing, traveling, attending and performing for EoT – and then we have to come back and clean everything up and put it away. Because of the time that is always required, I thought I owed it to my customers to stay home and continue catching up.  I do all of the gun work myself and I want the guns back in my customers’ hands as soon as possible.

We are already planning on attending the 30^th EoT in 2011.

Watch for new segments on Shooting USA’s Impossible Shots on the Outdoor Channel, which we’ve been told will begin airing in July. I don’t want to let the cat completely out of the bag, but my appearances involve a knife, a reeeeaallly long shot with a S&W Model 29 .44 mag, and would you believe, shooting a dime from the hip? There’s more too. Outrageous stuff.
