I shoot bullseye TARGETS, but I don't compete in any Bullseye shooting matches. Does that make me a bullseye shooter, or not?
One of my favorite "games" was shooting the 200yd gong on the rifle range. Standing, one handed, left hand in left hip pocket. (lit Marlboro dangling from corner of mouth optional...
)
Looking into Cowboy shooting, didn't care for it. Powderpuff ammo, hits anywhere on targets at ranges I could spit and hit, all counted the same, and too many silly rules, that eventually went from just annoying to really irritating for me. Never minded the dress up part, that much, but not really for me...
Gave up all the "combat" type games around 40 years ago, I was a soldier, and young, once, but never a cop, never going to be one, and playing the run, dodge, & jump combined with pistol shooting, for speed just wasn't fun for me.
(also never liked being told when I HAD to reload my gun)
Lots of people shoot and practice shooting for the competition of matches. I don't. I shoot for my own personal recreation and the only person I compete against is me.
If you enjoy playing a certain shooting game, PLAY IT! And don't let anyone talk you out of that. But isn't the point to enjoy it?? IF you don't, why bother??
