ICORE - (International Confederation of Revolver Enthusiasts)
ICORE combines elements of the Bianchi Cup, IPSC, and the Steel Challenge into demanding competition exclusively for revolvers. Our standard paper target is the NRA D-1 target with 4 scoring areas.

Steel matches consist of four stages of steel targets that average about 15-20 rounds minimum per stage. There is a mixture
of stationary steel squares, rectangles and rounds along with poppers, plate racks and trees. Stage descriptions list the
required number of hits on stationary targets. All reactive targets must fall to score a hit. Scoring is raw stage time,
plus any penalties and minus any bonuses. Penalties are +5 seconds per miss and +5 seconds for any procedural errors.

practical firearms skills. Match costs are $8 for club members and $10 for non-members.
Tactical Shotgun and Pistol Caliber Carbine Steel
This game is the same as Steel, with the same targets as the next night's Steel match. The twist is that they must be shot with your Tactical Shotgun or Pistol Caliber Carbine. There is a mixture of stationary steel squares, rectangles and rounds along with poppers, plate racks and trees. Stage descriptions list the required number of hits on stationary targets. All reactive targets must fall to score a hit. Scoring is raw stage time, plus any penalties and minus any bonuses. Penalties are +5 seconds per miss and +5 seconds for any procedural errors. This special event will always be shot the night before a regular steel match, giving shooters the opportunity to scope out the next night's stages, and shoot their Tactical Shotguns and Pistol Caliber Carbines at the same time. Come out and enjoy a good time. Match costs are $8 for club members and $10 for non-members.
