Default My first ICORE match

I recently moved and IDPA matches have ceased for the season. Fortunately the range has ICORE scheduled.

I shot my long neglected M15 & had a hoot. 4 quick simple stages that were unforgiving. Of course I had a brain fart and mistakenly reengaged a target after a reload on a limited stage. Other than that, did fairly well and most importantly had a fun time.

I’ll continue to shoot ICORE and give my revolvers a work out.

ICORE is the best game in town for revolver shooters.

As I was new to the range and never shot with the members on my squad, think they had minimal expectations of me- similar to me when working with new shooters. Believe I exceeded their expectations with my speed and accuracy. Think I met their expectations with my brain fart however :-)

I often shot my revolvers in IDPA and think that helped in my performance yesterday.

I’ll certainly shoot icore more and exercise my other wheelguns

Revolver matches are great, our club runs a match once a month, IDPA style of stages for the most part

I shot icore again today, this time using my newly acquired M581. Fun day and while I tanked my first stage, I did pretty good on the other stages. Was the first time I shot the M581 in a match (& it showed), but think I’ll shoot it more this season as it simply shoots so smoothly.

I’ve put VZ grips on it as well as painted the front sight bright yellow for my aging eyes.

All in all a fun day.

Shot my 581 again in today’s ICORE match. Did well on the plate rack until I had to shoot it strong hand only, then the wheels fell off the bus. I guess I need to train shooting strong and weak handed.

Despite the weather, was a fun day with friends. I do enjoy the 581, but think I may shoot my M15 better……

I wish there was some ICORE shooting nearer to me. I LIKE round guns.

I recently moved - where I came from there is a very active competitive pistol community but no ICORE. I ended up shooting my wheelguns in IDPA and ASI.

Where I am now, we have most disciplines, but not ASI.

I need to try ICORE as much as I enjoy running my revolvers. I often use DA revolvers at my cas sass /WASA club. Shot my Webleys last month. Imo a fine revolver is a much more interesting firearm than a semi and I do love a 1911.
