Top pay for a shooting event and yearly gross

What is the highest paying shoot? Does not matter trap, sporting clays, 3 gun, PRS, F class. You name it. I'll get to my point after I see your answer's. Asking for a friend. Also what kind of money can a top shooter take home a year?
 

Don't have an answer for any of your questions but consider this:

If you want to make a small fortune in the shooting sports, start with a large fortune.

Jerry Miculek - Pro shooter since 1989 - Probably has made more $$$ in a year from sponsor endorsements, YouTube, and TV contracts/residuals than all shooting competitions combined for any given year.

 
Not looking at being competitive. Just comparing to another sport. Not looking for sponsors either. 50 k is no joke. The world archery festival pays the top pro 55k if they are a current nfaa member. 500k for the event total. Asa used to have high payouts as well. Is there an event in rifle shooting like this?
 
We all know that money has it's place, but it can easily take the fun and enjoyment out of things, including sport shooting. Most of us I would consider amateurs, not "professionals", and participate in the sport for fun and fellowship.
large payouts bring some of the worst human behavior to the surface. I have always considered the lack of any real payout an asset and virtue of the shooting sports.
