I competed in trap shooting in the 70's. That was pretty fun, and I was a trap bum for 4 years, and making a living off of it. I didn't get rich, but I had a good time. Developed a pretty good flinch, and had to go to a release trigger.
Now my only competition is BP shoots. Old school mountain man era shoots. Sidelocks, BP, and PRB's. Off hand to 125 yds. Mostly gongs. Just a lot of fun. Not serious. Dress like a mountain man and blow a lot of smoke.
Not munch on shooting from a bench. I do a lot of coyote hunting so I've developed a nak for shooting prone. But over the years I've became more attached to shooting my bow at long distance. Shot a whitetail last season from 60 yards.
