In March you have this down yonder ...
US Steel Shoot Championship | USPSA Match | Covington, Georgia
I doubt I will go there this year as I think it would be beneficial for me to get in another year of steel and this match is at the beginning of the season as here in the NE winter is starting to slow things down a bit.
This year I went from being a D shooter to B in steel challenge. Even at B this is nothing to brag about, I'm barely able to stay off the absolute bottom of the charts. I have only been shooting revo for 3 years, handguns for around 4 years so I have much to learn and I'm 60 (but still working full time) so not as fast as the kids.
I have at this time 2 revolvers with a third being set up for competition right now. Once that gun is ready I will have the tackle to shoot open, limited, limited 6 and classic in ICORE, Optical sight revolver and iron sight revolver in steel challenge and revolver in USPSA. I shoot an occasional IDPA match revo also, I'm classified SS. I'm only a C shooter in ICORE open division. I spent all of my time this year on steel. I would love to say I'm good at this but I can't.
I really haven't spent any time shooting or training for that kind of shooting (ICORE) in a year but I've set some goals for next year which should help, there are many local USPSA matches here and one of my revos will be iron sight allowing me to shoot revolver class in USPSA which will help a lot in ICORE. I shot about 25 matches this year, all but 2 or 3 were static or falling steel, I need to branch out some but the year did help a lot with trigger control.
I'm shooting a local ICORE match this weekend, actually regret signing up for it as the temperature will be in the 30s. But that's it I don't have another match on the horizon until somewhere around the last week of March or the first week of April. If you get to PA in 2019 I can show you around the place.
