Hell of a shooter. 
"It is better to avoid than to run; better to run than to de-escalate; better to de-escalate than to fight; better to fight than to die. The very essence of self-defense is a thin list of things that might get you out alive when you are already screwed." – Rory Miller

Bob was also a very nice guy, even nicer to novice trap shooters. Shot with him several times... he will be sorely missed.

RIP Mr. Metzler
