Shooting, combined carbine and pistol, using Practical Competition Shooting League (competition/armor division) rules. Five stages.
I’m in the 20% percentile for PCSL shooters; I am not good when compared to them. On the other hand, very, very few people nationally compete in any kind of shooting sport. People that personally own firearms make up roughly 32% of the US population. People that practice regularly with the firearms that they own make up a much smaller percentage of that. Of the people that practice, people that compete at all, much less regularly, make up a tiny fraction of all firearm owners.
Even if the 99 truly randomly chosen people are all in the US, I’ve got pretty decent odds that I’ll be competing against people that have no experience in shooting on the clock. If those 99 random people are people from anywhere, then, given that gun ownership is very low pretty much everywhere else in the world, the odds are very, very good that the people I’d be competing against wouldn’t even know how to effectively operate a firearm, would be unable to follow the rules, and would end up getting disqualified for major safety violations.
That is an easy question.
