Match Schedule
Match Expectations & Times
Unless notified otherwise, match set-up begins at 7AM the day of the match, a shooter’s meeting will be called and shooting will begin at 9AM. Any needed announcements will be made at this shooters meeting and squads will be announced. Squads are groups of shooters who will complete the match stages together.
With the exception of out of state shooters, all other shooters are expected to assist with either set-up or tear down. Help with these duties is essential to insure our organization's continued success.
Upon completion of the match and statistician approval, all stages can be disassembled and the equipment returned to storage. Pending any unforeseen problems, the scores will be completed at the range immediately following the match. A club newsletter will typically be written and distributed via email within one week.

ICORE Information
Guns:
- Revolvers must be .32 calibers or larger
- Double Action Revolvers are best suited for this game.
Ammo:
- A match normally requires 80 to 120 rounds per shooter
- Ammunition must have a power factor of 120 or more.
- Power factor is calculated by multiplying bullet weight x velocity and dividing by 1000.
- For example, a 38 special 158 gr. bullet traveling at 800 fps is calculated as follows: 158 x 800 =126,400/1000 = 126.4 power factor.
- Some factory ammo meets these requirements. Consult the ICORE.org web site or the match director.
- Magnum loads are not needed and not allowed to shoot on the club’s steel. They would also have a negative impact on the shooter's score, due to the excessive noise and recoil.

- Shooters will need a hip holster (strong side carry only, no cross draw rigs).
- 4-6 speed loaders with ammo carriers that attach to the belt.
- Shooters also need eye and ear protection.
