Columbia Missouri<\/em> – For the final day of the 2013 NRA Bianchi Cup, the focus will be on the Moving Target Event. That’s where the likes of Carl Bernosky and Bruce Piatt will try to chip away at Doug Koenig’s overall lead. Though tied in points, it’s Koenig’s five point advantage in X’s that puts him ahead of the pack.<\/p>\n

“That’s usually what it comes down to,” said NRA National Pistol Manager Tom Hughes. “These men and women are so proficient with a pistol that the only thing that separates first from second are the X’s.”<\/p>\n

If he keeps shooting the way he’s been shooting for the past few days, not to mention the past few years, then we’re likely to seen Doug Koenig walk away with his 15th National Bianchi Cup Title. But until we can tip our hat to the man or woman who wins in all, here’s a tip to those leading the each of the four stages that makes Bianchi the challenge it is.<\/p>\n
