Here is some information that used to be on our sight. I normally run these, but unfortunately I've been very ill for several months so things were deleted not knowing if we would have any this year. I'll have some help for this match. Bianchi is a timed, limited number of shots match from varying distances. This is some basic info. Most people use center-fire, but we also do .22. Normally .22 needs holsters and safetys, but this time we will use steel challenge rules on the .22 only, low ready, safety off, finger out of trigger to see if we get some more interest. Matches currently are not sanctioned. Lot of the safety rules are same as USPSA. Feel free to call me if you need more info.
You will need a holster which covers trigger, mag carriers of some type are best, and for most of it at least 2 magazines per position. Mags can be reloaded between positions if necessary. This is our 2nd year trying this type of competition. Match fees are $15. More information can be found at
