Tom knapp passed away today. Farewell and following seas! God bless.

wow... I just saw the letter from CZ last month that Tom was going into retirement.

 

RIP

That guy was amazing! He voice had a clear teaching tone to it!

RIP!

Who is he.....?

Who is he.....?

 

I was saddened to learn of his being let go by Bennelli some year(s) back, mostly due to his illnesses and limited scheduling availability to do the shows he became famous for. I'm even more sad just now!

 

RIP Tom, and may God have a place in his heart for an old man with a shotgun and an arm (weak side at that) that could throw 9 clays up into the air and blast them all individually!

RIP Tom Knapp, may all of your clays be powder.

RIP Tom Knapp..

He use to do a display at the decoy show in tuckerton for Benelli...

Tom Knapp was a legendary gun showman. Please, go on youtube and look at his work. He's not just "some gun dude" any more than Babe Ruth was "some baseball guy"...

And maybe that simple explanation would have been better than just pointing to a video... As far as being some gun dude... He's a gun dude... So RIP gun dude...

Thanks!

Sorry to hear of his passing, last I knew he was at 7 birds which I thought was amazing. 11, WOW! I'd like to see a video of that.

I'm sorry to see him go -- I was actually hoping to see him do his thing some day -- had no idea he was sick

 

Jake used to sit and watch his videos on you tube -- Used to say he wanted to be able to shoot like Tom Knapp -- we always had an understanding that if he was ever in the area we would go see him

Damn, another shooting legend gone. Bob Munden passed away 4 months ago and now Tom Knapp.

 

May he rest in peace.

 

 

Didn't recognize the name, but after the being able to see the vid on my desktop, I remember him now. He was an excellent shooter and I've watched him over the years here and there...

sad news, always enjoyed his videos and teaching style. Had the pleasure of meeting him and grabbing an autograph @ shot show a few years ago.. glad I took the time to shake his hand.

For those that are unaware: Tom RO'd Jerry M.'s famous Youtube vid of Jerry doing 12 rounds in a revo in 2.99 sec. Can't mistake that powerful deep voice announcing the time! Imagine, they did a show TOGETHER at some point (wish I couldda been THERE!).

Makes me think we should make a list of "gun people" that we all should know or know about, listing their particular skills, perhaps even with links to you tube videos??

 

Bob Munden

Tom Knapp

Jerry Miculek

Annie Oakley

etc etc

Wow.. that's insane.. this man's skill was goddamn legendary.. RIP Tom Knapp :-/

That guy can shoot some clays !!!!! RIP..

An excellent idea! It would help educate the Newbies and offer them a look into various great Shooters in several disciplines. A common frame of reference if you will...

Now I'll never get to see him. Why didn't they take Lautenberg instead?

No one said anything on my facebook page and this man showed several times locally in our towns gun and decoy show for benelli.
