COLUMBIA, MO – Inspired by the NRA Bianchi Cup’s successful impact on both the shooting industry and his hometown of Columbia, MO, Larry Potterfield, Founder and CEO of MidwayUSA, Inc., has pledged his second consecutive $50,000 cash donation toward the championship.

The gift will be used to increase the already impressive $300,000 in cash and prizes awarded this past year and continue founder John Bianchi’s vision of having the most prestigious Pistol Championship in the world.

“It’s easy to be a fan of the Bianchi Cup, and Brenda and I believe in giving back to our community to help change the future of the shooting sports industry. We are proud to do our part to help this great match,” says Potterfield.

This announcement is the first of many enhancements to the NRA Bianchi Cup for 2010. The NRA Bianchi Cup is a money-winning event that draws the top pistols shooters from all over the world.
