LawMan Mark, SASS #57095L Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 From the Shooting USA facebook page: It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Jim Scoutten. In his thirty years of reporting the shooting sports, Jim played a pivotal role in the industry and will be greatly missed. “As always, shoot safely, shoot often, and keep ‘em in the ten ring” -Jim Scoutten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Too bad. I think I've watched him on and off for nearly 30 years. Just guessing, but I suppose that his son will be tasking the reins now, since he's been a presenter for several years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixgun Seamus Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Sad news indeed. I had the opportunity to meet and talk to him on several occasions at NRA Conventions. One time I was wearing a Shooting USA shirt and he came over and said he wanted a picture with me. Great guy. He will be missed. RIP Jim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 I met him a couple of times, several years ago. He came to Wartrace with a crew and shot with us at our monthly match. They filmed the match and did a large segment on CAS and SASS that ran several times on Outdoor Network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
