A "fast draw" demonstration

This is an old video of Bob Munden demonstrating his "fast draw" skills.  I've Splicd out the first 90 seconds (btw, a useful tool for those of you who post videos on blogs) in order to skip over his self-aggrandisement.

He must have spent thousands of hours practicing his technique.  But he is fast...
