JHJ, not sure I understand your meaning. Are you saying that the reason so many M class shooters show up at big shoots is that their sponsors require it, and because of the money pay outs?

Only a fraction of the M class shooters at any large shoot are sponsored. And, money is usually paid out 5 deep per class, plus HOA and RU.

Out of those 440 M class shooters at the Gator Cup I'll bet good money not over 40 of them are sponsored by someone who would require them to be there. And, only 7 of them could win cash. Wonder why the rest shot ? ................. love of competition. That's why. They're serious.
