To be clear, I see a huge benefit of competition, shot timers and tracking ones times and such.
One of my favorite instructors made the comment that he would rather be good than lucky. IMHO, the people that survive gun fights (with zero training) are lucky and or the bad guy wasn't committed.
If golf with a gun is your thing, drive on. Just realize that you are fooling yourself about the true purpose of a gun.

It's a bit of a case where some racing series are at - rarified, silly specifications that essentially force some tech development with functional carryover, but it can look cool on occasion when it's done right; but stuff like TacOptics is a lot like the GT classes of cars where every now and again some trick tech may filter down to road cars, so I don't completely discount gun gaming for that same reason.
I still have the utmost respect for anybody who will go to competitions and do the 'run what you brung' with their actual defensive setup - accept the fact that they'll probably get beaten, but use that as a better opportunity to train under different stresses, and maybe show a few of the others out there that the shiniest arrow is usually worth a lot less than having a better trained indian.
