I think it does put a lot of guys off that all the shooters who make the teams are essentially "ringers" anymore. I went the first several years and enjoyed it. But finally it started feeling like a rerun of exactly the same thing I'd done before, so I just stopped going.

I've suggested it before, and I'll suggest it again. Once you've been on the winning team twice, you should be officially retired from the competition. Give some other guys a chance, and keep it interesting. Heck if I had a vague chance of making the squad I might start going again, and I think other guys would too.
