AR,
I know where you are coming from, because I shoot with you all the time. Those that are the hecklers are just jealous. I have several pro staff names on my shirts too, and I've been shooting for 15 years at ASA and just started IBO last year. I'm good at promotion for these sponsors products and not vey good at hitting the 12 ring, but I'm not going to change classes just because some other guy said "look at all those names on his shirt". You need to shoot where you feel most comfortable and if you win then move up. My advice is free, but watch out for my poker hand.
