The world's most prestigious handgun championship became twice as difficult last year. To take the 2016 Bianchi Cup, top competitors had to shoot the four stages of fire twice, combining their qualifying score with their second round of shooting the Falling Plates, the Barricades, the Practical, and the Mover. Julie Golob joins John Scoutten to present the coverage from the NRA Bianchi Cup Action Pistol Championship in Columbia, MO.
