All of my posts are tongue in cheek ... but that's actually the drum I've been banging for many years ... the gadgets and top end gear don't knock targets down ... good shooters do.

I've also noticed that a lot of the top FT shooters are younger guys who are in reasonable shape. It makes sense. Decent eyes and decent core strength and decent cardiac health. I've seen a similar thing, to a degree, in HFT.

The point I tried to make above was ...

Even if the sports try and drive the rules towards a more shooting skill discipline ( tightening up on gadgets and maybe even introducing more positionals ) then there would be an uprising from the masses, that would not want to be dragged out of their comfort zones ... and a high percentage of those masses are not young and athletic. The elite need the masses to make these sports work.
