ICORE: IPSC with
wheel-guns
ICORE, the International Confederation of Revolver Enthusiasts, is an “Action” shooting competition where the equipment and course
design rules are specifically written for revolver shooters.
Courses of fire include drawing from your holster, reloading, and movement. In this regard it is much like USPSA competition.
The principle differences are that the equipment is limited to revolvers of 32 magnum calibers or larger and that all courses
must be designed to be six rounds neutral. We use the NRA D-1 target, as well as steel, and a time plus scoring method that is
somewhat simpler than IPSC scoring and places a greater emphasis on accuracy.
To compete you will need a revolver in safe condition of the proper caliber, a secure holster that will cover the trigger, and at least 4 speed loaders. Some of the longer field courses will push this limit so it is sometimes handy to have some extras. You will need hearing and eye protection. Most matches can be done with about three boxes of ammo (150 rounds).
