--- Quote ---With sad hearts, Outdoor Sportsman Group announces that Jim Scoutten, co-host of the Shooting USA television program on Outdoor Channel and one of the most iconic voices in the shooting sports industry, has died at the age of 77.

“It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Jim Scoutten,” indicated the Jim Scoutten Shooting USA Facebook page.

“In his thirty years of reporting the shooting sports, Jim played a pivotal role in the industry and will be greatly missed.”

He’ll be especially missed at OSG, where he has been a fixture for many years.
------------------------------------

To the end, Scoutten remained enthusiastic and busy in his chosen career field, an inspiration and leader that was recognized by his peers and colleagues.

While the firearms industry and shooting sports world try to soak in the sad news of his passing today, it's also a great time to remember the smiling face and familiar words that Scoutten spoke into the TV cameras so often during his career:

"As always, shoot safely, shoot often, and keep 'em in the 10 ring."

Thanks for the memories Jim Scoutten, and we here at OSG will try to do just that.

Not taking away from the years of mentoring by my uncles and a few other special men, Jim Scoutten and Michael Bane are the two that moved me to the next level. Jim was a  powerhouse for the sport, and hopefully John will be able to continue in the big shoes left for him.
