Some of the best shooters in the world are in Columbia, MO this week for the 2016 Bianchi Cup Championship presented by MidwayUSA. This year's Bianchi Cup Champion will take home $12,000 and the Bianchi Cup Championship Trophy.

The Bianchi Cup consists of the aggregate of a "Match X" and the "Colt Championship Final." Each round is the aggregate of these four fired Events: Practical, Barricade, Falling Plates and Moving Target. Match X is conducted over the four days of the tournament, with the Colt Championship Final being fired at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, May 28.

The Bianchi Cup Champion will be determined by the final aggregate score of Match X and the Colt Championship Final, or by a shoot off in the case of unbreakable ties.
