jedmyers Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 i picked up a pistol for the first time and joined my dad at the local uspsa match about a year and a half ago. Shooting the second and third weekend of each month as well as traveling out of town for matches, and three guns every now and then, i quickly moved up to a B class limited shooter. After shooting Paper & iron last weekend i want to get more serious in shooting, but i wanna become a sponsored shooter. Can a B class shooter get sponsored? any information will help. thanks!!

dsb45acp Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I might get a sponsorship from Michelin tires. I kinda look like the Michelin Man. Or Pillsbury dough boy. Take your pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie j Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 (edited) Sponsorship is about money, think first on what you can offer the sponsor to help them make money. And remember nothing is free. Edited September 6, 2012 by Ronnie j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shootingchef Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I tried to get "Kum and go" but they turned me down . Went next to " Badcock" furniture in florida and they turned me down. However I did get a pick up from "Viagra" will be on next years shirt. See, now I'll probably get in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedmyers Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 Haha I love it. Did you try cr speed, blade tech, or Rudy project? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootingchef Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Been there done that. Actually, I have a great sponsor who takes care of me. Do need a new eyewear provider though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpipe95 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Read through that article. Paying someone to advertise for them... Is rather insulting, I can not believe it is so popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chills1994 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 It's probably not all it's cracked up to be. Do you really want to be a walking talking billboard for somebody? I would not be surprised if some sponsorships are like Amway or Mary Kay in that they are multi level marketing or pyramid schemes. The people at the top get the most perks or money.

jedmyers Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 I mean not to sound greedy because I'm really not..but, wouldn't that be considered extra motivation to push yourself to be a better shooter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
