The world lost a gold mine of history this past spring. Bob Edgar of Cody Wy passed. He built Old Trail Town in Cody Wy, a collection of original frontier buildings, collected numerous old guns, indian artifacts, dead people, old wagons, and he knew just about everyone worth knowing all around the area. Bob was also an exhibition grade shooter with a Colt Single Action 45. He shot things out of peoples hands, mouths, etc, shooting coins thrown in the air, all shooting one handed, and was quite capable of making first round hits at 300 yards and better, shooting one handed. He also hand engraved Colts, doing very fine quality work. Bob was a truly amazing shooter, and remarkable man.

His obituary is interesting,
