What better way to examine this year’s NRA Action Pistol Championship than checking out social media! Since Instagram is all about the photos, we chose that platform to search for 6 of the best pics from the 2018 World Action Pistol Championship and the NRA Bianchi Cup presented by Colt. The two matches are being conducted in tandem at the Green Valley Rifle and Pistol Club in Hallsville, MO.
