Yeah, he passed away a year ago. I think it was mentioned here...
He was a good guy. Knew him, and liked him.

All right.
I have a friend who did a lot of competition trap events who has pulmonary fibrosis. I wonder if breathing shot shell exhaust may be partially to blame.

Pulmonary Fibrosis often has a strong genetic association.

Yep, he was much better than the Benellis they sell.

Yes, this was reported here on the forum at the time of his death.I was extremely fortunate in that I could call him a friend. There is no facet of Tom Knapp that you can speak of without using superlatives. I miss him�.

I saw him perform several times at the Texas Parks & Wildlife Expo. His shooting was incredible and his show was really entertaining.

After a good bit of thinking and after posting, I started remembering this bad news.
Then I looked at the date on the American Hunter mag my wife handed me today, which I had thought was new.
Yep. Now I can read it and forget it again, I guess.

Search function did have a few pages of posts about Thomas Magnums birthday and a couple pages on what Ze ro thinks we should do about some firearms, however.

I only put in for the search to go back a couple months, Steel, as I didn't realize the magazine was a year old.
Still, to me it was strange to get tons of search results with no mention of Tom Knapp in them.
I guess those posts brought up must have had some Ts or Ks or Ps in them somewhere, however.

I don't have TV and gave up on magazines so this is news to me.
so sad that he died so young. great guy.
the consolidation of the states into one vast republic, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of that ruin which has overwhelmed all those that have preceded. Robert E Lee
