What is competition? A $5.00 plaque with your name on it? Or a fist full of cash?
I go to shoots all the time. They all have some level of competing for something. I shoot whatever calls to me from the safes that day.
I don't expect to win. I expect to shoot and have fun. And see cool stuff come out from people's closets. Maybe make a friend. Maybe make a deal.
I know I'm at a statistical disadvantage to multi choked guns, and club regulars, but I don't care. I shoot what I like, and have fun doing it.
You should too.
I have no idea what I might win when when I shoot an NSCA event, but this past Spring, I won a Guerini Summit in a 4-man shoot-off, that I later sold for 3K. How's that?
And, fwiw, I was shooting a gun I like and was having fun doing it.
For the record, everything Stan explained about competitive clay shooting rings true with me. We be simpatico.
