I am interested in getting into ICORE.
However, all e-mails sent to anyone connected to the organization, including the membership director have gone answered for at least two weeks!!

Does anybody know if the organization is still extant??
If you are a member or director, please send me an e-mail so I can give you my mailing address to send me information on how to go about becoming a member???!!!

Thanks for any replies!!

It did seem to fill a niche. IPSC's bizzarre "six-shots-only" rule and the byzantine guidelines surrounding SSR and "ESR" in IDPA in these days of common-as-dirt seven- and eight-shooters pretty much guarantees the existance of a seperate sanctioning body. If ICORE didn't exist, we would have to create it.

Yeah but...

Is there anybody home to take my call???
They have this marvelous web site full of contacts!!!
So far, no one has seen fit to acknowledge my existance!!!!
Hell of a way to run your organization, if you ask me!!

[Edit: I just noticed you are in AZ. Some of the biggest supporters are in AZ. Check the site for the local club. The guy that keeps Jerry Miculek honest and perennial #2 in Open Master division, Vic Picket, is with that group.]

Keep trying. They are probably in the middle of organizing the June International Revolver Championship (IRC) match in Morro Bay/San Louis Obispo and have day jobs as well.

They do run on a shoestring with overworked volunteers. I was one of the volunteers but have gone on haitus due to finances and being a new owner of an older home (the two are intimately related).

There is a membership form on the ICORE.org site you can send in. If you are interested in the IRC (usually lavishly sponsored by S&W, Dillon and many others) send in the membership and registration for the lower entry fee. Or you can just do the match. Membership is required to take a gun from the prize table (typically about 25+, I picked up a 686+ that I traded for an M66 from another entrant last time I was there) or to enter one of the drawings (I picked up a PC 627 V-comp for $20 worth of tickets when I was just visiting).

By the way, volunteer range officials for the match get some pretty nice treatment in addition to the jazzy shirts. Being a range officer for the match gives you an up front view of all the heavy hitters AND a chance to play. I bet there'd be a list a mile long for such jobs in other sports.

Thanks Guy.

I had e-mailed Vic and got no response.

I live about 50mi from where they meet and did not want to burn the gas unless I had some concrete information under my belt and web sites are offtimes not updated.
