ysrracer Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Which one did you shoot? Would you shoot it next year? How'd it go? I had to skip this year, but I hope to shoot Cameo next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyScuba Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 I thought I heard the 2024 IRC location was going to be announced Sunday past? I've talked to the guys expecting to run the '24 IRC but radio silence from the board. how odd...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Struggled through much of the rest of the match with a handful of more or less acceptable stages performances. They put a really good match on the ground, solid stages. That part of colorado was absolutely incredible(scenery). We took a ride through the Colorado national monument which there aren't really words for.

testosterone Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 It was announced, not sure who you are asking. It will be back in PA at Ontelaunee rod and gun club, the date is not set but expected to be fall again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guns_and_labs Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 I shot the IRC, as it was closest. Solid match in all respects. Great stages, fantastic range, and well-run. I doubt I will travel east for next year’s IRC, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the dates don’t collide with the WRC and the WRC is at Moro Bay. Fallon for us is just a tad too far. Flying these days is horrendous and guns make it worse. For Moro Bay we got up at 3am and got home at 11:45pm. Nothing is on time anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our jump from grand junction to denver was cancelled, 4 of us were at the match hotel took my rental and hauled ass across i70 to catch our flights, we all got to our gates 10 min before boarding. It wasn't how i expected to spend the day but we did make it, drove through hard rain first 40 miles which sucked but it cleared up after that, remaining 3 hours was the most scenic drive you can imagine.

UFO Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I shot the WRC. Great match. Fired up some enthusiasm to shoot revolvers again. I will definitely go back. This was the first of a point series where different clubs host the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The usual plan is to fly to SFO from Toronto, stay overnight, get the rental and drive to Moro bay. Fallon adds 90-120 minutes. Makes getting back rather unpleasant. Flying into Reno isn't great from here and on points difficult if not impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither morro or fallon are particularly good about getting a direct flight that puts you close to the range in one shot from far away. I flew into SLO 3 of the 5 times I shot IRC in morro, and every single time the journey home had some mega delay/cancellation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyScuba Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Morro Bay is doable. Especially now with the insane cost of rental cars. So I get a cheaper points booking for the last flight of the day , use my Marriot points for a hotel and pick up a cheaper rental next morning at a place outside the airport that has usual biz hours and save a few hundred $. It is also good insurance if the airport check in is a complete cluster **** in Toronto and the bags and guns don't make it and come in on the next day early flight around 1pm. Ask me how I know! Arriving 4hrs early just doesn't cut it anymore..... A fellow IPSC shooter went to shoot the Euro handgun match 2 weeks ago and his guns stayed put in YYZ, thankfully someone lent him their backup.

Alaskan454 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) I shot the IRC, it was the nicest single venue I have ever been to in terms of total package. Food was good and reasonably priced, scenery was amazing, the range facilities were top notch. I wish I brought a long-rang rifle with me and stayed a few more days. 2,000 yard rifle range was something to behold! The big-bore rifles echoing through the property all day was something special. The last-minute cancelled leg from GJT to DEN was not ideal, but I was glad @testosterone had room in the van! I'm planning to shoot both IRC and WRC next year. At this year's IRC it was announced that Ken would have it in PA next year. Last I heard he was sorting out final approval on match dates with his home club. I am really looking forward to him hosting again. He knows how to run a solid ICORE match. USPSA announced Sept. 13-15th at CMP for Revo Nats Facebook thread says WRC will either be July at Morrow Bay or first weekend in October in Fallon. I am hoping for Morrow Bay because everyone raves about it, I have never been. Edited October 30, 2023 by Alaskan454 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
