The MidwayUSA & NRA Bianchi Cup is one of the most highly regarded shooting competitions due to the great amount of skill and accuracy required. IPSC World Champion Ray Chapman and renowned holster maker John Bianchi created the first Bianchi Cup in 1979 as a law enforcement training match. The event opened to the public when the NRA took over in 1984, and it has continued to attract a growing number of pistol shooters from around the world each year.

Vera explains the four events of MidwayUSA & NRA Bianchi Cup if you're interested in getting involved in this exciting sport.
