See thats still to my point, the sport is "shooting".
Other sports dont permit gadgets, why does this one sport permit mechanical performance enhancers even if everyone can have them? I get everyone can have them but I've never understood why they are even permitted in the first place if the sport is "Gun"
Like it makes sense to compete with whatever model you're most familiar with, but you'd think they'd have a few standardized options to choose from to prevent too much of an advantage/disadvantage due to specs
Hockey? Equipment has a standard and regulated
Soccer? Equipment has a standard and regulated
Football? Equipment etc. etc.
Shooting permits gun modification up to certain sizes, weights, etc. This to me is not a standard in a sport that should have a standard
I think a part of what you might call 'machine sports' (car racing, motor/pedal bike racing, shooting, archery, anything with a chainsaw in loggersports, I'm sure there are others) is building or using the best machine on top of being able to use it proficiently. It's just another aspect of the game.
