Upwards of 200 shooters are expected to put more than 60,000 rounds downrange in the quest for championship titles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are proud to once again add Hogue as a premier sponsor to the growing list of companies supporting the International Revolver Championships. Hogue has been an active supporter of the shooting sports and their grips are a favorite among competition shooters, particularly with revolver shooters competing in ICORE events,\u201d said Art Leach of ICORE.<\/p>\n<p>The 19th Annual Smith &amp; Wesson International Revolver Championships will take place June 4-6 on the Hogue Action Pistol Range at the <a title=\"SLOSA.org\" href=\"http:\/\/slosa.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">San Luis Obispo Sportsmen\u2019s Association<\/a>. The match is the highlight of ICORE\u2019s competition season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHogue is proud to have been a major IRC sponsor since its inaugural event in 1992. I have personally participated in the IRC every year beginning in 1993 and it\u2019s long been my favorite match,\u201d said Pat Hogue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI really enjoy the camaraderie and relaxed atmosphere among revolver shooters. Of course, when it comes to their performance ICORE competitors are all business. This probably explains why upwards of 90% of ICORE shooters compete wearing Hogue grips on their wheelguns.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For further information on ICORE and the 19th Annual Smith &amp; Wesson International Revolver Championships visit www.icore.org.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ICORE announced that Hogue Inc., makers of handgun grips, rifle stocks and accessories, will join Smith &amp; Wesson and Brownells as a premier sponsor of the organization\u2019s 19th Annual Smith &amp; Wesson International Revolver Championships.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":3467,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[152,559,9],"tags":[644,662,407,408,59],"class_list":["post-3466","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-icore-news","category-paul-erhardt","tag-brownells","tag-hogue","tag-icore","tag-irc","tag-smith-wesson"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3466","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3466"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3466\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3467"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3466"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3466"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3466"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
