15-time Bianchi Cup champion Doug Koenig

Columbia, Missouri - Finishing with a 1920-183x, defending champion Doug Koenig breezed through his final event at the 2013 MidwayUSA/NRA Bianchi Cup Championships to win his 15th overall title. But it wasn't a cakewalk. Pushed through every stage of the competition, it was exactly what competitors and fans expected to see.

The top shooters, donned in specialized and sponsored gear, began the day only a few X's apart. When the Friday morning finales kicked off, there was only one event left to face; Moving Target. The top three contenders -- Doug Koenig, Carl Bernosky and Bruce Piatt -- would shoot last.
