Thoughts on Bianchi Cup

This match always shows me something as a shooter

“Shooting this match is like being in an abusive relationship,” I joked to my friend Simon. “Every year I say ‘oh it’s going to be different this time’ and every year I come here and get my feelings hurt by one of the stages.”

I could probably just end this article there and call it good, that’s my summary of Bianchi Cup. I had some good moments, one incredibly frustrating moment, and like I do every year I learned something new about shooting my gun at a high level. I also, like every year before this, swore that next year I’ll have a gun that’s optimal for the match and I’ll spend loads of time practicing.
