I shoot a few local matches a year and my principal objective I am chasing is to shoot alphas. I don't much care about placement and I am especially not crazy about shooting C's and placing higher (most of my local outlaw matches score weighted strongly to speed). So much so that recently a pal ran out of ammo on a steel stage and didn't even complete the course of fire and beat me at that stage. I crushed the alphas on that stage. Outrage!
I care a little more about outshooting a couple good friends I may be shooting with.
So based on that, and the fact I'm somewhat stingy about firearms budgets I compete with either my primary carry guns (G26 or G19) or with my seldom carried G17s. I'm just not interested in spooling up to shoot a purely gamer gun.
