“The NRA Bianchi Cup is the biggest match of the year for me, as well as the most prestigious, so it is such an honor to win the Ladies title again! The Ladies competition gets stronger and stronger each year, and it pushes me to be better as well. I am given the opportunity to compete against the best ladies in the world, and I’m also proud to call them friends,” states the Taurus Team Captain. “That’s one of my favorite things about the Cup, is that it reaches out to so many international shooters. I’m honored to have this victory for Taurus, with my 1911’s, to show that their firearms are competitive in so many different arenas!”
