Looks like Tom Knapp has passed away after a battle with lung cancer. Age 62. He was the perfect ambassador for the shooting community. Very sad. He was a real gentleman.

Sorry to see this.

I always enjoyed his segments on the History Channel's trick shooting shows.

That's horrible to hear

I didn't know he was ill. I had kinda hoped he'd come somewhere close. I always enjoyed him on tv and would have loved to see him in person.

I took the boys to see him last year. It was the most amazing shooting I have ever seen. Then the guy stayed after the show until every single person who wanted a picture with him, or to shake his hand or whatever was done and there was a decent crowd too. I was pretty impressed all around.

Sad to hear this. He always seemed like a nice guy and was great to watch.

That's terrible news. It's a bad year for shooting showmen. We lost Bob Muden this year as well.

That is so Sad, Tom was on my list of Great people . He did so much for the shooting sports, and he did a good job of teaching safey /gun handeling. God Speed Tom Knapp.
