That isn't true at all. Just because you practice and win your division/class doesn't mean you don't need a new gun. Why don't I just keep sucking and not practicing…maybe then I will be deserving of a prize? Its a competition not T-ball where every kid gets a prize. I won my division at Area 6 and didn't get a gun. I was like why in the hell did I shoot 6,000 rounds in 3 months practice. I could have just showed up and won a gun?
Funny you mention t ball since your acting like a 5 year old. "Sucking" does not make you deserving of a gun. Some people do not have the time, money, physical capability or skills to win a division. That does not mean they don't deserve the same opportunity to win a nice prize. Winning is for bragging right, egos and a plaque. Shooting 6k rounds in 3 months? Sounds like you should hope for the shuman barrel as a door prize. Actually give me your name and if I win it I will toss it your way as it seems you need it more than I do.
