And.............

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

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:
