Just logged onto here after about a two year hiatus. You’ll definitely find more comments on the Facebook Bianchi Cup page then you will hear at the moment. That being said have you found your lodging yet? unfortunately nothing in Columbia is cheap, including the match hotel if there actually is one this year.

It will continue by all means! Come shoot with us!

The NRA has washed its hand of the Bianchi Cup and is not involved in anyway that I know of. All they are currently doing is keeping track of records and classifications and even that’s debatable as I’ve heard it’s the CMP keeping track of the records. Green Valley has control of the match. Myself and many of the competitors say good riddance to the NRA. Working together we can build back the Bianchi Cup the prestigious event it previously was.

The sponsor really came through for a nice prize table. Bianchi Cup 2021

I know the match staff was not expecting as many people that registered. Therefore they had to have the awards lunch offsite. While there were some things that weren’t the same as in years past like the Grand dinner, and other traditions, the Bianchi Cup will be back to bigger and better than ever. It’s a perfect time to come compete again.

It ended up being a fantastic cup with Green Valley putting on a outstanding match without the help of the NRA and despite covid not allowing our overseas friends to attend. 2022 will be even better but the match needs your attendance. If you used to shoot or know someone that has shot the Cup then come on back. Shooters are running the match, not a bunch of desk jockeys.

That 3D print pad is the tits. I’d take one.

I would definitely be interested in a Wisconsin AP match.

Been a while since I’ve checked in here. I would definitely be interested . I’m here in Central Illinois. You should put this in the Action Pistol North America Facebook page. Stephen Stewart

Yep, this year was a complete cluster #$&*. Time for something drastic to happen in regards to the NRA and Bianchi Cup. I have so many great quotes from Karie there’s almost to many to list. She is oblivious to the history of the match and hold us in comtempt as being “special”. It’s just another USPSA match to her. I can’t wait to get the survey...

I think it’s a solid plan. This should benefit international shooters as well and really create an epic week of shooting. Hopefully the Flagler cup can get worked in as well. This could be like Daytona Speedway or something a true celebration of NRA action pistol.

I know asking the NRA to communicate all the changes is asking too much but damn... it's frustrating. They need to get out of the competition organization business and give Bianchi to a group that can effectively grow and run the sport. My friends who shoot high power are going through the same issues and are as equally frustrated. Am I missing something somewhere?

Any update as too the reorganization of the match, sponsors and such? Still can't believe that Midway USA is out. Must have been one hell of a pissing match.

Never heard that term "reverse temp sensitive". Warm temps, less pressure?

The SJC Shroud definitely has a lot more meat to mount some sort of wings but I can tell you from experience the ALG mount is rock solid. Not sure why anyone would want to shoot a Glock in Bianchi Open but .. hey.. to each thier own. Glock in Metallic , all day long.
