This is under discussion in the General Discussion but considering Mr. Knapp's obvious importance to shotgunning and his status as one of the greatest ambassadors in the history of our sport, I'm inclined to let this run in both places.

Never had the pleasure of meeting Tom. Just watching his videos has provided hours of entertainment and started many a ******* match over who could outshoot who.
RIP Tom.

He was a blast to watch shoot, lots of jokes and just generally fun time with a gun.
We can say both men stopped loving her today. |
