International Confederation of Revolver Enthusiasts
The International Confederation of Revolver Enthusiasts (ICORE) is an international community which promotes action shooting competitions with revolvers. ICORE was founded in 1991 by Mike and Sharon Higashi [1] with a vision of revolver-only competitions where "even the most basic equipment could be used and still provide enjoyment and satisfaction."[2]
