Yeah. You are wrong there. The gamers are out in full force just as in the other shooting sports.
I am like you, I would love to shoot a few matches purely for love of the firearms involved but there does seem to be pretty strict requirements on the costuming aspect of the sport, at least that's been the case at the matches Iv'e attended around Ft Worth. I was told it was pretty much mandatory, in that it was more than just a "shooting sport".
It's not the mocking aspect that keeps me from it, it's just financial. I have no desire to spend the pretty sizable amount of money needed for a simple character, just to go shoot my SAA and BP revolvers a few times a year in a match.
I have nothing "bad" to say about the organizations however, they have been very nice and welcoming to newcomers. It's just not my thing because of the character requirements.
