There are only two thing you should be competing against, forget the super shooters(by deed or talk), its the course and yourself. Its a lot like golf you can never win only equal. Frustrating isn't it, but its got one hell of a hook. Enjoy your shooting with whatever you have, I'm sure those who have more hight tech pricey gear have the same frustrations and highs as you but not as cost effective eh. herx77
