The Barricade Event is the only of the Bianchi Events that calls for truly fast shooting – the 10 yard stage is 6 shots in 5 seconds, which actually isn’t that fast, but it’s certainly faster than any of the other stages.

BJ Norris with his S&W 5906 on the plates. I asked why he shot a 5906 and not an M&P, and he told me because that the 5906 locks up very similarly to a 1911, making it a tad more inherently accurate than the M&P, and in this game, accuracy is everything.

Cutting down the Speed Steel Event. I like this photo, because even though you can’t see the shooters very well, you can see their results – the steel is on the way down, but hasn’t finished falling yet.

I actually took a lot more photos than this – there are some in the album that I didn’t post up, but you’re free to view with a click of your mouse, and hopefully you’ll see some of my work in an upcoming issue of a major firearms magazine.
