This great sport and community.

Ok I’m going to try to write out what is noodling around in my head as drive all night long in an understandable manner. This thinking I hope reflects the uniqueness in this sport and is reflective of how great the community is. Now please let me know if I’m wrong on facts or thinking. Anyway I got to thinking about Noor (SP ?) winning rmac. Now I am no expert about how sponsorships and such work but this is my thinking. A guy who as far as I know shoots for Utah Airguns, who is FX through and through to my knowledge. By that I’m reffing to Utah Airguns. Shows up in the BR competition at Utah with a RP and wins the whole thing. He shoots a gun that is without a doubt a huge competitor/ threat to the FX brand for podium spots. A gun company that was sued by FX for its original design. Yet a team that pushes FX hard has one of their shooters on the line with this competitors gun. Is this accurate so far ?? As to me it’s a bit crazy, I have no idea in what other pro level of sport/competition this kind of thing would fly ?? Am I right in thinking this is reflective of the community that comprises this hobby in how tight and supportive of a community it is ? Just curious on others thoughts?

Oh forgot isn’t Thayne team Utah as well ? Would follow the same suit I guess.

In racing (f1 and moto gp) the driver /rider is only as good as he can be on the equipment his manufacturer, team, and sponsors provided him with. Sometimes the racer looses because the other team has better equipment. Its not that he couldn't beat the other driver, he just couldn't beat the other driver with his current equipment.
