Sarge Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 FROM SHOOTING USA 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...

Artemas Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Watching Jim and Shooting USA as a teenager is where I learned about IDPA, USPSA, and much of my early firearm information. If a TV personality has ever affected my life, it was Jim Scoutten. I am truly saddened to hear of his passing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkallner Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 RIP, Jim! I really enjoyed everything he did and got the chance to meet him at the 2014 NRA annual meeting - top notch man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcs352 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Solid dude and did so much to 'normalize' firearms and the shooting sports. He was a treasure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJH Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 His show is the reason I started shooting USPSA. He probably did more for the shooting sports on the pre YouTube days than anyone else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevymen21 Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 One of the true legends for the shooting sports. Will be sad knowing he is gone but we all can still partake in one of the best firearms shows ever made. May we all appreciate the important things for a minute!

Bill T Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 I remember both him and the late, great Bob Munden with the famous, "Shot Of The Week" in the mid and late 90's on "Shooting USA". He also featured Byron Ferguson, a famous longbow archery shooter, who performed some really interesting and difficult shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
808matt Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Almost wish I hadn’t seen this. I wasn’t lucky enough to see Shooting USA on TV, but I love watching clips on YouTube. Iconic voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
