CORE stands for International Confederation of Revolver Enthusiasts. Lower Providence Rod & Gun Club (LPRGC) has been trying to get ICORE matches off the ground. The MD has succeeded  in convincing the BOD of the club to devote the second Saturday of the month to this endeavor. If they do not get a large enough turn-out for these matches, all his hard work may go for naught.

ICORE is kind of a cross between IDPA and USPSA, but is contested with revolvers. Here is a link to the rules that explains the Divisions and equipment needed.

LPRGC is located very near where the Oaks gun show is held. When you get off the ramp, from 422, you turn right instead of left. About a mile or so down the road is the entrance to the club, on the left. Below is the link to register...

Grab that revolver, that has only been gathering dust, and put it to good use. Right now there are only 5 people registered for this match and that includes Sgt Toadette and myself.

Adios,

Yes it is hanging in there. There will be a match on 07/13 starting at noon. In order to increase the number of participants, there will be an unofficial division for 1911's - any caliber, but restricted to eight rounds total, (7+1 to start) and mags loaded with 8 rounds on your belt. Here is the ICORE web page for LPRGC

July's match will consist of the ICORE Postal match,  found here...

Plus a "fun" stage. To give you an idea, last month's fun stage consisted of three paper targets, interspersed with three pepper poppers, a plate rack bracketed by two more paper targets and then two, yes two, Texas stars.

A nice late start, so you can sleep in. With the addition of 1911's it will give you an opportunity to try it out before investing in a revolver - everyone needs at least one revolver.

LPRGC is within a stone's throw from where the Oaks Gun Show is held. Hope to see you there.

Adios.

I wonder.  Can i do both.  1911 and revolver.   Of course. Not at the same time.  I gotta catch up on all the time i missed the last 3 months.
