The Bianchi Cup 2023

The Bianchi Cup 2023

The Bianchi Cup is widely regarded as the most prestigious handgun tournament in the world. This match has never left its home range and has never changed the courses of fire. The challenge is derived from police training, and dates back to 1979. That history has led the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) to take ownership and direction of the match moving forward.

And, so we’re at the Green Valley Gun Club in Columbia, Missouri, for the 2023 event along with the ever-famous four stages of fire: The Practical… The Falling Plates… The Barricade… and The Mover.

The CMP is actively engaged in growing the Bianchi competition through Action Pistol Shooting and by growing the ranks of first-time shooters and Junior shooters.

The mobile French 75mm cannon is now one of History’s Guns. More than twenty one thousand French Seventy Fives were produced between eighteen ninety seven and nineteen forty, but even so, it is very difficult to find one that isn’t rusting monument or museum piece.
