EricBudd Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 I'm looking to bring ICORE to my local club, but want to gauge interest before I go through the process of affiliating with ICORE. I am looking to run a few monthly indoor matches to see if I can get enough shooters to justify setting up some outdoor matches over the summer. My plan is to run a 5 stage indoor match once a month till spring. If there is interest, we may run two or three outdoor matches in the spring/summer/fall. Cost will be $10 per shooter. No prizes, no payout. That should cover heat/targets/pasters. I think we will run two stages side by side, break and set-up two more stages, break and set-up a large field course inside. Please email me if you might be interested so I can let you know when we set a date (if there is enough interest). Currently I am thinking of the last weekend in January.

R112mercer Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 I'm in the lower NY/Hudson Valley area and would probably be able to make some of those matches. What town is your club located in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricBudd Posted December 23, 2005 Author Share Posted December 23, 2005 The club is Guthsville Rod and Gun club near Allentown, PA. There is a problem with the web site (the Domain expired) but once that is taken care of the club's site is www.guthsville.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should Topton as often as I can, they have really nice USPSA matches and are about 2 hrs from where I'm at. Guthsville is also part of the PA Steel League, right? I've been trying to get around to shooting more of that in the coming year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricBudd Posted December 24, 2005 Author Share Posted December 24, 2005 Yes, we are near Topton. We do host 2 matches as part of the PA steel league each year. We don't have the dates yet for this year. BTW, the January match at Topton is going to be 6 shot neutral and revolver friendly. It is the annual 'revolver' match.

hopalong Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 I don't intend to be mean and it may sound that way but...... Why do the clubs that have an "Annual Revolver Match" have them in January when turnout can be effected by the weather, and when most folks have "quit" for the winter? I know of several clubs doing this, and more power to them for offering the match THANKS GUYS/GALS Do some of us a favor, wait until Mid March or even early April......one match away from the auto loaders won't hurt, even in the middle of the season.....I can attest to that....both ways. HOP Eric, sure wish we had some folks interested in ICORE down here, good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R112mercer Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 Hop, Not only is the match in January, but it always coincides with another big match near home that I can't miss. Every year they put on a nice revolver match and I can't make it . Eric, Good luck with the new ICORE program, I'll do my best to try and keep attendance up.

Carlos Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 (edited) We are too far to your south to provide physical support or shooters, but if you are interested in stage designs or have any questions about the way we run indoor ICORE, info can be found in the ICORE section of the forum on our sight: www.shootersparadise.com Best of luck and I hope it works out.

Bones Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 I don't want to hijack your thread Eric but there is an ICORE match scheduled for Saturday 7 Jan at S&W in Springfield, MA. We'll make an anouncement for yours at our match if you give us more info. We have another ICORE match planned for 4 Feb 05. You can e-mail me directly. Best Regards & Happy New Year, Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaicore Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Eric, Glad you're taking the lead on getting matches set up. We did the same in Northern Va. where we have a monthly indoor match. We post our stages (limited space) on our forum at www.shootersparadise.com. You are welcome to use them. If you have any questions about starting an ICORE chapter, please feel free to contact me.

TacticalReload Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Eric, I just started shooting Tuesday nights with you and Paul. As one of the few who brings a wheelgun, I'd be all over the ICORE idea. Steve F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imashooter2 Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I'd be interested, and can probably get a second to come... And definately look at a summer match or two. We need more ICORE in the area. I always look forward to the Ontelaunee matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricBudd Posted January 2, 2006 Author Share Posted January 2, 2006 I will (I hope) have dates for the indoor matches by next Tuesday. I will post them then. We are looking at running two outdoor matches ths year. We just need dates that don't conflict too bad with the other matches in the area which wold draw the same shooters. Basically, I don't want to conflict with the other 2 ICORE matches, the 'tatical' pistol matches at Ontanalee (very revolver friendly), the PA Steel League, or the local USPSA club.

EricBudd Posted January 10, 2006 Author Share Posted January 10, 2006 We are running our first indoor ICORE match on January 29, 2006. Registration will open at 9:30 and we will go 'hammer-down' at 10:30. The cost will be $10. Standard ICORE rules will apply. Based on the response to this match and a similar one I will hold at the end of February, the club will gauge local interest in ICORE and look into affiliating with the national organization. In any event, we still expect to run two outdoor 'ICORE style' matches this spring/summer. Directions to the club can be found at the clubs website.

Bones Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Thanks for the date Eric. I'll try to make it and bring some friends. Did you say there were going to be (5) stages? Our next match will be 4 Feb indoors in Springfield, then May/Jun and Jul/Aug outdoors. Our Jan response was very good (>50) - we hope yours is too. We're definately going to affiliate - likely by our next match. Good Luck and Thanks for the hard work, Craig Hopalong - NE shooters don't "quit" in the winter.

EricBudd Posted January 10, 2006 Author Share Posted January 10, 2006 Craig, My plan is to run 5 stages. The first 4 will be two-at-a-time side-by-side and then a larger 'field course' using the entire indoor area. If the weather in nice, I might set the field course up outdoors with will give us more options. I'm expect about 100 rounds total. Maybe a few more or a few less. If shooters have other ideas, I'd be happy to hear them. I don't have much experience running matches, but the only way to get more matches is to make them happen.

EricBudd Posted January 31, 2006 Author Share Posted January 31, 2006 I'd like to thank everyone who was able to attend my first match . I think everyone had a good time. The next match will be Sunday, February 26, 2006. Sign in is a 9 and we will start at 10 am. The match will be indoors unless the weather is very nice. I'm thinking of shooting the Austranian Postal Match and haveing another (affiliated) club send in our scores. Thanks, Eric Budd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
