Business Decision is this. I make enough money in my other business. I am trying to find a way to make shooting tax deductible. In order for a business to be allowed by the IRS it has to be ran like a business with a forseeable chance of returning a profit. If the forseeable chance (however slight) isn't there, than the IRS disallows the deductions. I am not looking at trying to live off of this, just if there is a chance that one COULD make a living doing it. Thanks for your patience. I know this is my first post on this forum and it is very non-standard. I usually spend my time lurking on forums and shooting without posting. Thanks

I know that at the local level you are happy to get a paper certificate. At what level does there start to be a purse for winning? How large do the purses get? PS Not looking for the money, it is a question I need answered for a business decision.
