Bianchi Cup Report by Nick Barnard, Team Manager![]()
![]()
Day 2 of the Bianchi Cup is concluded and the final results have been posted on the CMP website. Our PA shooters had another good day on the range. Brett shot a solid Mover score of 476-29X followed by Glenn who shot an excellent ‘clean’ Mover score of 480-29X.![]()

Mark was next to shoot the Mover event and showed exceptional poise to produce a ‘clean’ score of 480-39X. This put Mark in equal first place with Bruce Piatt with the final Barricades event taking on huge significance, especially because they were also equal on X-count. Many other fancied shooters had fallen by the wayside, with the smallest of errors having major consequences to the leader board.![]()

Jodi shot the Mover in the afternoon session and scored 469-26X. Mark was then up for the Barricade event. He was aware that Bruce had already shot a perfect 480-48X and he would need to equal that score to force the championships to be decided by Long X-count. Mark stepped up to the occasion and produced a 480-48X under extreme pressure. After some consultation of their score sheets Mark and Bruce shook hands, agreeing that Bruce probably had the higher Long X-count and would win the Cup. Formal score postings confirmed this, but I am still not certain of the exact count. This will probably be announced at the Awards Banquet.![]()

Brett went into his favourite Barricades event having only dropped four points and was still in contention for a high placing. He is not called the Barricade King for nothing and showed his consistency by smashing another 480-48X. Glenn finished the day with a solid 480-38X to finish his first Bianchi Cup with a score of 1908-151X.![]()

The first day of competition started with Jodi on the Plates and she shot 470-47X. Mark started the competition on Practical and shot a creditable 480-43X. This was subsequently trumped by Brett who shot an excellent 480-45X on Practical, which should put him in a strong position to win the Practical event trophy. Glen shot a solid 478-37X in Practical.![]()

The afternoon session saw both Mark and Brett nail 480-48X on the Plates to put them both ‘clean’ going into the second day of competition. Jodi shot 472-23X on Practical and Glenn shot 470-47X on Plates. Everyone is primed and ready for a terrific final day of competition tomorrow.
