Loved that show. | |||

| It's all part of the adventure... |
That makes me sad. I watched Shooting USA for many years. He always had an endearing presence; he seemed like a truly personable man. R.I.P. Jim Scoutten.

 I enjoyed watching him as well."Blessed is he who when facing his own demise, thinks only of his front sight.” Malo periculosam, libertatem quam quietam servitutem Montani Semper Liberi | |||

That’s a bummer. I’ve watched him for years. All time classic voice as well. | |||

I can hear him say, "Keep 'em in the 10 ring!" | |||

Wow…way to young only 77. RIP Jim. | |||

| Just because something is legal to do doesn't mean it is the smart thing to do. |
I had the pleasure of meeting him in person 20 some years ago, really nice guy. Integrity is doing the right thing, even when nobody is looking. | |||

What a great voice he had for broadcasting. I hate to hear he’s gone. _______________________________________________________ despite them | |||

Back in the pre-internet days, gun enthusiasts relied on print publications for gun news. The first TV show dedicated to shooting and firearms I can recall is Shooting USA. It aired on The Nashville Network when I discovered it in the late 1980s or early 1990s. These days, we take such things for granted, but back then, the show opened up the gun world. Jim Scoutten made a couple of appearances in SIGforum many years ago. He seemed like a very nice man. | |||

Mistake Not... |
I loved watching his show. Damn, that sucks. Prayers for his family. ___________________________________________ Life Member NRA & Washington Arms Collectors Mistake not my current state of joshing gentle peevishness for the awesome and terrible majesty of the towering seas of ire that are themselves the milquetoast shallows fringing my vast oceans of wrath.

Sad news. Used to love Shooting USA. He brought that aged oak, deep voice, expensive cigar feel to the gun world. Always liked that he had an M14 hanging up behind him. RIP sir. | |||

Wow, had no idea Jim was a member here. I was just watching the show last night, my wife's first time watching it....and there was Jim. RIP Jim. Mike You can run, but you cannot hide. If you won't stand behind our troops, feel free to stand in front of them. | |||

I learned a lot from him on his shows over the years. He will be missed. | |||
|
| Like a party in your pants  |
I always enjoyed his show. He also used to do Auto reviews, can't remember what show that was on. That was before he did the shooting shows. RIP Jim. | |||

He did have a great voice. | |||
