Nebraska's Own Legendary Frank Hoppe, Trapshooter Extraordinaire, all in the same week.

Losing these two Great Masters has left a Gaping Hole in American Shotgunnery.

Not to take away anything from the above, but it was noted that Greg Rodriguez, editor of Shooting Times, contributor to G&A was murdered in early March in Montana.

Knapp died of Pulmonary Fibrosis.

To say he was a fantastic shooter is an understatement:
