THE MAY ICORE MATCH WILL HAVE 4-6 STAGES AND WILL MAINLY BE QUALIFICATION STAGES FROM THE ICORE WEBSITE. DIVISIONS WILL BE OPEN AND LIMITED. SINCE NO ONE HAS AN ICORE CLASSIFICATION, WE WILL SHOOT HEADS-UP WITHIN EACH DIVISION. EXCERPTS FROM THE ICORE RULEBOOK LISTED BELOW.
EXCERPTS FROM ICORE RULE BOOK…
1. All firearms used in ICORE matches must be revolvers with a .32 magnum caliber or greater and in sufficiently safe condition.
2. Ammunition must produce a minimum power factor of 120000.
3. ICORE requires a holster that will securely hold your firearm. The holster must cover the trigger guard area. Holsters must be attached to your gun belt. The heel of the butt of the gun is not allowed below the bottom of the belt. (An exception shall be duty rigs)
4. ICORE requires sufficient loaders and loader holders as necessary to complete the stage at hand. The holders must be attached to your gun belt. You may do your initial loading from pockets prior to beginning the course of fire. However during the course of fire all reloads must come from your belt, unless otherwise directed by the course of fire or at the direction of the Match Director or Range Officers. During the course of fire, you may safely retrieve any ammo that has been dropped.
5. A revolver must compete in the Open Division if it has one or more of the following modifications:
A. Compensating, venting, or metering ports of any kind.
B. An optical sight including telescopic and red dot sights.
C. A rib sight, a front sight that extends beyond the muzzle, or a rear sight that extends beyond or behind a factory manufactured sight's location.
D. Any barrel other than a factory barrel or a factory replacement barrel made by the revolver's manufacturer and included in the revolver manufacturer's spare parts catalog or list.
Effective January 1, 2007, rule D is revised to:
D. Any barrel other than an unaltered factory barrel or an unaltered factory replacement barrel made by the revolver’s manufacturer. Alterations to the barrel other than what is required to safely install the barrel are not permitted in Limited Division.
E. An underlug, barrel weight, grip weight, or any other modification designed to increase the weight of the revolver.
6. All other modifications are allowed. Revolvers not in the Open Division may compete in the Limited Division.
7. The official target of the ICORE organization is the NRA D-1 target. The X-ring is the 4" zone in the middle of the target. The X-ring and the next zone outside of that constitutes the A zone. The next is the B zone; the balance of the target is the C zone. The X-ring may be used as a tie breaker or bonus zone.
8. Scoring is done on a "total time" basis. The accumulated time of all runs, plus target hits, plus penalties equal total time. That will be the score. On the D-1 targets A zone hits add 0 seconds, B zone hits add 1 second, and the C zone adds 2 seconds. If a hit breaks the perforation, the shooter is given the better score. Targets that disappear during the course of fire will not be given penalties for failure to engage, but will receive miss penalties, targets that some portion remains visible will receive both penalties. Steel targets are scored as a simple hit or miss. Knockdown targets must be knocked down to score as a hit.
