The golden voice. I only could watch Shooting USA sporadically due to comcast being an absolute trash provider, but I loved and miss his voice.

One of the SHOT shows in Orlando I think it was, there was an arfcom get-together in a big meeting room one afternoon. Folks were standing around BSing and he walked in and made some common arfcom joke about beans in chili or something. He talked to a bunch of people there, was pretty cool. |

I watch the show when killing time. His son has taken over. The sign off is now "Keep them in the X ring." Still a good watch.
The Outdoor Chanel let me watch back seasons, so I watched a lot of them the past several winters. |

If it wasn’t for Jim Scoutten back in 1994, I might still be wearing a heavy shooting coat in the middle of an Ohio summer.
I saw this:  1994 Colt Pro Shootout.mov If you look in the upper right corner of that screen, it says “ESPN”. Yeah, that’s right! Eeee Ess Motherfuckin’ Pee Inn broadcasted a shooting match on their one and only channel back in 1994. I was instantly hooked. RIP Jim |

He will be missed, I wished he would have posted a little outside of his own forum here. I first saw him on the car show he hosted back in the 90's.

American shooter on tnn back in the late 90s was my introduction to shooting sports. He was undoubtedly a big influence on my trajectory in life.

Had many phone conversations with him for business. The first time I spoke with him I didn't know it was him but couldn't help but think that voice was so damn familiar. Finally figured it out.
He was local here too and I've run into him a few times at the old Franklin gun shop. He was a genuinely nice guy. |

Lots of good shows. Not necessarily always the best information or advice but showed firearms for self-defense in a positive light. Keep’em in the ten ring, Jim. |
