Practical - 480 X45

Barricade – 480 X45

Mover - 485 X 40

Plates – 480X 48

The 2025 Crawfish Cup Regional and State Championships, presented by Zero Bullet is the kick-off to the Action Pistol season. Taking place April 25th and 26th at the Southwest Louisiana Rifle & Pistol Club in Lake Charles, Louisiana, the Crawfish Cup has become a favorite among competitors and is known as the warm-up to this month’s Bianchi Cup. Each of the participants competed in the falling plates, moving target, barricade, and practical events.

“The 2025 Zero Bullets Crawfish Cup kicked off my season in style,” commented Piatt. “A tight race to the finish with 4 perfect 1920 scores being posted. One “X” separating each of the top three. My 178x placed me on top for another Crawfish Cup title.”

Piatt will compete later this month at the Civilian Marksmanship Program’s Bianchi Cup.
