But I can't lie, I was disappointed with the lack of Bianchi Cup coverage - and the fact that I can't find a complete list of winners or times or scores or <i>anything</i> on NRA's website right now.

However, that's usually his own doing. Based on your comment on my site earlier, my own experiences, and what I'm hearing from others, I think this might just be a very serious gap in the efforts of General Ops. I don't avoid criticizing NRA because I think they take a lot of undeserved crap. The fact is that they all <i>know</i> they get undeserved crap. The good folks there find it easy to weed through the legit concerns and the crap. I have found that even when I'm being snarky or bitchy, if the criticism is focused and provides some solutions, the higher ups actually do sometimes pay attention. So never be afraid to say, "Hey, I'm an NRA member, and I think you need to do X." Chances are, it will be taken into consideration if the right people find it.

If you wanted an even more modern example, Dave Sevigny, who manages to win pretty much everything he does with an essentially box-stock Glock 34. Another fine example.
