I was not looking for this photo or anything on the subject, but you know how Google is. Sometimes things find you. Anyway, informal shooting matches of all sorts seem to evolve into cut throat "I am going to win not matter how much it costs" shooting sports. Things got so bad that many shooting sports have had to break up into everything from stock only to unlimited. This picture was taken at a field target competition. I had to laugh at this one.
On the plus side, serious matches result in development of improved equipment. 50 years ago, the idea of shooting an air rifle at over 100 yards was ludicrous.
