RE: trap/ skeet question?
My father shot competition Trap and Skeet for the better part of 30 years. In his prime he was pretty good and won many tournaments. He has trophies and patches for 250 and 500 (in a row without a miss) scattered about the basement.
He won money, but back then there was nothing to be made. Just enough to cover your reloading supplies, maybe gas and food too. He did it because he loved to shoot.
Today, with the rise of sponsors you might just make a few dollars butyougotta be good....real good in order to get their attention. Other than that be prepared to come out in the red.
