. . . she doesn't really pay that close attention to her time but rather makes sure she hits the target.
I just managed to give up one set of addictive tournaments. I really don't need another one.
Spending $85 every three weeks on the Trophy Fund and driving all over the midwest takes a lot more time and gas than you'd think.
It wouldn't be as bad as that.
If you only do it at one club, it's only once a month...
It's only $20ish to shoot in the match, plus about 150ish rounds, so only $50 plus time and gas, every four weeks instead of three.
It's not so much the money, it's that it starts to feel like a chore after awhile. Like something you have to do. At that point it stops being fun, but you can't stop or you'll lose your standings. When you're in a points race, it's really hard to call it quits and concede your place. We were doing 15-18 tournaments per year and traveling all over the place. Mostly around Indiana, but also to Ohio, Illinois, Pensylvania, etc. Even to international tournaments in Europe. It really feels good to not be competing anymore. It feels like I've kicked an addiction, to be honest.

You say that now... after a bit you might realize you are looking for the next closest club so you can get your fix on an "off week." Run while you can and don't look back!
No good.. I've already got my husband sending me IMs asking, "Are you off next Sunday? Can we go to that one in Terre Haute? *looks hopeful*"
We're suckered in already.
