CRDB Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Caswell Ranch will be holding 1st-- U.S.OPEN ICORE CHAMPIONSHIP Who---------Caswell Ranch Shooting Sports LLC When -------October 2010 (dates to follow) Where-------Caswell Ranch,Prospect Hill, North Carolina. Stages-------20 (by ICORE Rules) Rounds-------350+ Fee-----------$100.oo This will be three days of shooting more info to follow in the next few months. I know this is a long time out but I need time to plan, get RO's etc, shooters need time to plan the events they wish to attend/time off work/money the list goes on, so I figured I would post this now and start the ball rolling.

pmd Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Wow 20 stages - maybe it's time to dust off the revolver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revoman Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 This will definitely be on my schedule and you might consider approaching the ICORE board and ask to host the IRC. According to what I have heard there was some rumblings at the ICORE board meeting and it led to resignations and the people that brought plans for the 2010 IRC also pulled them. So as of right now the is not any plans or anybody to run a 2010 IRC. This would be an excellent opportunity to have the IRC on the east coast. The board would help with money to travel to the SHOT Show to help land prizes for the prize table or I think they would as they have done this in the past. I think this would be a great opportunity for ICORE and the IRC to maybe reach that 250 to 300 mark for competitors as you would be able to draw from the eastern part of the states. Either way count me in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueridge Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Hmmm.....I think that I might have to look into ICORE for 2010. With there being no local ranges affiliated (or holding similar matches) I had shelved the idea of looking into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SauconValley Shooter Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Good Morning, This sounds great! Not that you will plan your match around me, but IDPA is my main game as ICORE and USPSA clubs are not as prevalent in my area. IDPA Nationals, the Blackwater Shootout, and the Connecticut and Maine State Championships, as well as the East Coast ICORE Championship, are all in or just before October, when in October would you be running this match? Thank you, Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Z Sr Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Dean, You know you can count me in, any help you need (RO, set up, whatever). My son will probably even join ICORE and he's going to shoot the Postal Match. This thing WILL grow. Please set a dress code for the match, as we don't want Cliff Walsh shooting in a Speedo any more !! Ant Hill range usually has 6 or 7 revo shooters every month, lets get them up here and Myrtle Beach area has a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, Ken Hi Ken, I will have a better idea of the date by the weekend, IDPA Nats is norm Sept (this weekend) as is ICORE East Coast, in NC October is a dry cool month this is a big factor, I know having shot a lot of matches it is nice to not be cooking when doing it.

ChrisC Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 October would be a definate probably.... If it was on the same weekend as my kids fall break that would be even better.... yeah and i second the no speedo's motion.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ant Hill range usually has 6 or 7 revo shooters every month, lets get them up here and Myrtle Beach area has a few. I am up for shooting ICORE, and I shoot at Ant Hill Range quite often. Any chance that I could catch up with other revolver shooters that have experience with ICORE, so that I could be brought up to speed with the sport?

Any chance that I could catch up with other revolver shooters that have experience with ICORE, so that I could be brought up to speed with the sport? I've only shot one match soo far, but what I've learned is slow down a bit and get all "A" 's. Best way to describe ICORE other than great fun is, revolver only USPSA. The match I shot was 5 stages and I tried a different approach to each one. The front sight in the middle of the target is key, you can't afford targets of 1- "A"/ 1"C" as the seconds added (1 for "B" and 2 for "C" and a "M" is 5 seconds added) will kill what would have been a great USPSA run. Hope that helps some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFlowers Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 DB, You might want to check with Hopalong and make sure that the two of you are not conflicting. Maybe work out a schedule that brings the best wheelgunners to both matches. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubber Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Dean, Is the name US Open just a name or is the for Open (Only) Icore? It is probably just me either way it looks like a match I would want to attend even if Smilin Dean is there. Thanks for the Butt Whuppin at the Mid-West Revoman.

CRDB Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 (edited) Hi Bubber, Not just open division only, U.S.Open just as it is in golf and other sports, open to all revolver shooters. This is an ICORE match and will be run by ICORE rules. ICORE allows none members to shoot in competitions, this allows for the title of U.S.Open ICORE Championship. IDPA etc cannot have such a match by rules you have to be a member to shoot a major match. Regards, DB Edited September 25, 2009 by CRDB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James As I see it he is posting for a match this October, I'm setting up for October 2010, takes time to ramp up for a real big match.

JFlowers Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Yes, But he has stated that the Memphis Challenge would be an annual event. Given the growth of two major Revolver Matches in the southeast I would hate to see things conflict and the matches hurt each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Later rdd Well lets not forget all the butt whippins I received in the past from you. It just felt good to actually win the whole enchilada. Now for the bad news or maybe good news to some , Since the regional I have been laid up with a bum knee and I finally got it fixed on Sept 17. They had to fix my meniscus, acl and remove all the cartlidge from behind the knee cap. Being old and fat also doesn't help in the recovery. Oh by the way I did miss you at the victory meal at Rick's house and I tried to be as humble as I could be. See Ya Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRDB Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 (edited) Hi All, Looking at October 7th through 9th--2010 as the match dates, RO's/staff can shoot 5th and 6th or all on one day, squads for shooters would run one day squads for Thursday 7th, other squads would run Fri/am--Sat/pm the other half would run Fri/pm--Sat/am, ( e.g.half match at a time if you are on a squad Fri/am you would shoot half the match Fri morning the other half Sat afternoon) Match will be set with key stages on both days, so if you don't have a good day on the first half, it's not over, will be room to make a come back.(10 stages per day) Regards, DB Edited September 25, 2009 by CRDB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisC Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 what would really be awesome is one match one weekend and the other the next....... that way you only have to make one trip out east and shoot both weekends..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Mainus Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 what would really be awesome is one match one weekend and the other the next....... that way you only have to make one trip out east and shoot both weekends..... That is what I was hoping for. You could shoot one match, spend the week vacationing, and then shoot the other match the following week-end. Seems very doable this far out.

ChrisC Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 very doable, esp if the kids are on fall break that week... wouldn't feel as bad holding them out of two days of school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
