Sure we have plenty of eyesores here.

Where is Cajun?

All joking aside...I know there are.
I always wanted to go to one of the matches.

Yes, I've shot a few ICORE matches and would love to shoot some more.

My only tip is to slow down a bit and work on the accuracy. These are not IDPA type matches, and accuracy really helps on some of the targets.

Shoot Fast,dont miss.
The best place to get shooting tips is from the shooters themselves.I have been shooting ICORE for about 5 years and everyone that I have met are more than willing to help a new shooter.
Have fun

Especially the second part, if you now shoot IDPA or USPSA.

ICORE scoring is straight forward time plus penalties. Unlike USPSA where you can miss fast enough to win, in ICORE you must shoot A's.

+1 on A hits. Take your time until you can get into a rhythm. Speed up a bit, then back it down after your first miss.

Power factor is only 120. Load up some puffs and have fun.
