We re-instituted a few measures to lower entry fee cost. One was to "bring a buddy". If a competitor were to bring a friend who had never competed at the MidwayUSA & NRA Bianchi Cup, both competitors would have a reduced entry fee. We also offer reduced fees Juniors, Production Firearms, Active Duty Military and those that register early.
The MidwayUSA & NRA Bianchi Cup is a combination of Speed and Accuracy. Shooting at stationary and moving targets. It all starts with an Interest and the Adventure to try this shooting sport.

BIANCHI BITS & BULLETS
The event originated in 1979, by former police officer John Bianchi of holster maker Bianchi International, as a Law Enforcement Training match.
The Course of Fire consists of four separate matches:
- The Practical Event: From the appropriate shooting line, the shooter fires at distances from 10 yards to 50 yards under varying time limits.
- The Barricade Event: From within shooting boxes and behind barricades, a shooter fires at targets on either side of the barricade at different distances and under varying time limits.
- The Falling Plate Event: From the appropriate shooting line, the shooter fires at 8 inch round steel plates arranged in banks of six at distances from 10 to 25 yards under varying time limits.
- The Moving Target Event: From within shooting boxes at distances ranging from 10 to 25 yards, the shooter fires at a target moving from left to right with the target being exposed for only 6 seconds
Competitors shoot from both standing and prone positions and are also required to shoot with both strong and weak hands at various stages.
