ANOKA, MN - Feb. 10, 2014 - The shooting sports lost a tremendous ambassador, teacher and friend in 2013, with the passing of exhibition shooter Tom Knapp. His combination of shooting skills and stage presence inspired an entire generation of new shooters. To honor his memory and continue his legacy of stewardship, Champion® Traps and Targets and Federal Premium® Ammunition have teamed to create the 2014 Tom Knapp Memorial Scholarship.

For more than a decade, Knapp represented these brands around the world at live exhibitions, on television and at countless consumer and trade shows.
