USPSA's rule book allows for varying shots on target depending on COF. 1 hour ago, motosapiens said: perhaps the difference is that ICORE is for revolvers, and has nothing to do with shots per target. (fwiw, the last 3 or 4 major uspsa matches I've shot have all add at least one 3-shot per target stage). Or maybe it's the 'confederation' part of ICORE that offends lefties, lol. Geez, I didn't say USPSA was perfect. I always think 3, or more, on a single target is kinda dumb. I just shot a match with 4 on each target from basically zero distance. THAT IS DUMB and a waste of 12 bullets (there were 3 targets) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matteekay Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I'm going to design a COF that's 6 shots per target . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatJones Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Revolvers are not exactly blowing up in USPSA either, but I feel ICORE could provide a better product to shooters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeBurgess Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I hate to brake it to everyome but a rulebook will never make stages better. Having creative stage designers use their imagination within the rules does. Changing the rules hoping hour bad stage designer will make better stages is a recipe for failure, all that will happen is you will get bad stages that fit the new rules, and good stage designers will have less options to make great stages.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk Oh sure, use logic. I will admit that many of the times I've encountered the 3+ shots on target scenarios they were, what I would consider, bad stages and, most of the time, it really felt like the extra shots were just there to boost round count.

Wah! Design your own stages that use fewer (or more) rounds. I personally think there is a very different shooting challenge in shooting 3 rounds vs 2 per target. If you don't think that, or just don't like it, I've heard miniature golf is a really fun and challenging game.

This forum is for discussing the sport. If you don't like that take your keyboard and go post somewhere else. In the meantime I will continue to question, discuss, and promote the sport.

THAT IS DUMB and a waste of 12 bullets (there were 3 targets) Hey, I recently designed (and shot) a stage like that. Yes, it was for an IDPA match but having the 3 targets take one each to the body then re-engage with a Mozambique to each from 3 to 5 yards and you had a speed stage that was neutral for all the divisions. 6 and 8 shot revolvers as well as all the semi-autos ALL needed to reload. And to make it a bit challenging, only the "Alphas" (or in our case, the "zero") counted with a few non-threats tossed in at "interesting" spots. Pretty much everyone said it was a good stage to shoot, especially the really fast guys as they duked it out to the tenth of a second. AD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tossed that 8 shot in there in case the ICORE guys need something fast and to show that the stage was "neutral" to everyone. AD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
