Title: Tom Knapp Passes
Post by: flinger on April 26, 2013, 06:26:30 PM: What a crappy week

The shooting world lost a great man today. Shooting Star Tom Knapp passed away this afternoon. Tom reinvented exhibition shooting almost 30 years after the passing of Herb Parsons. Tom was an inspiration to generations of shooters and he will be missed

R.I.P.
