i think a lot will depend upon the game you choose. A tac rifle match, a F-Class shoot and a benchrest competition will require differing skills and equipment. Having said that, you really should try - I find competition can only improve my abilities.
 
The only way to find out for sure is to compete against other world class shooters.
There are plenty of matches to prove yourself. Quebec and Ontario have Provincial Championships. There is the Eastern F Class Championship and the DCRA matches held in Ottawa every summer. Ranges from 300 yards to 1000 or 300m to 900m. And that just this part of the country. There is a whole world out there with lots of world class shooters.
 
loonie

If you can shoot this target all in Polar bear and not touch the silver part of loonie then you will be a supreme shooter.

Ah JP
I think it is not the machine, but the monkey behind it. If you can read the wind better than the joe beside you, your score will be better. All things being equal.
Go to some matches, it is a good learning experience. Wind clinic's are an eye opener as well. You guess the wind speed and then someone shoots with no windage adjustment and you see what it actually was. It gets interesting when the wind gust hit 24km per hour.
 
My father, my uncles olds timers showed us when we were young man to dope the height and to dope the wind, they knew how to shoot a moose accross the lake @ 2000 feets without missing, they were telling us look at the branch in the trees, or at the waves on the lake, later on varmint hunting @ 5 or 600 yards we could slice the shot and hit our target, we learned to always be aware of the wind, i am looking forward to those meetings... JP.
 
Wind is just one of the factors................In the Tac Rifle matches, you have moving targets..........limited exposure targets (3 second exposures).......shoot/no shoot targets.........having to spot your target mixed in with others..........I find the biggest challenge is the targets that are held up by hand by the kids hired as target pullers.........those targets move every which way and never sit still.......and you only have 3 seconds to shoot......;)

Now THAT sounds like a piss load of fun! Hard as hell at first I bet, but super frickin fun! Combining all kinds of different skills and involving reason/ identification for acquiring targets. I need to look into that :)

If your shooting tactical matches run to your target and back and then shoot, if your shooting F class try putting 10 to 15 shots inside the black and shoot farther then 300 meters, If you can put all your shots within 1 MOA at all ranges you will win.

Then again, there are a great many things in common between all of these. For example:

- understanding how groups form up, and how how to steer your _group_ to get you the highest possible score under the conditions of that day

- the experience of handling mental pressure

- trigger control - how to break a good shot, and how to accurately call the shot that you broke.

- reading and understanding the various wind indications available to you; understanding how the wind does and does not affect your bullets; getting an understanding of some of the more common patterns that the wind follows

- risk management in your match tactics/shooting judgement; know when to play it safe, and why, and where to take risks, and how big, and why.

Having said that, you really should try - I find competition can only improve my abilities.

+1 to that.

To the OP - if you have good rifle, and know how to shoot shots well, this will really speed up your progress in competition shooting. There are other things to learn too (enough to keep you interested and rewarded.... for a lifetime in fact, if it grabs you), but you learn these other things more quickly when you have a rifle/ammo/trigger-puller that is shooting accurately.
 
If you can shoot this target all in Polar bear and not touch the silver part of loonie then you will be a supreme shooter.
