LOS OSOS, Calif. – David Olhasso of Holland, Pa. captured the Open division title at the International Confederation of Revolver Enthusiasts’ (ICORE) Smith & Wesson East Coast Regional Revolver Championship this past weekend at the Ontelaunee Rod & Gun Club in New Tripoli, Pa.

Olhasso, who shoots for Team Smith & Wesson, won seven of the eight stages in the match and finished 41.24 seconds ahead of his nearest competitor, Peter Enis of Pelham, N.H., with a final time of 127.49 seconds.

“Dave is one of the best revolver shooters in the country so it’s no surprise to see him atop the leader board in the Open division as well as high overall shooter for the match,” said Ron Joslin of ICORE.

Rounding out the top five in Open division competition were Enis in second with a time of 18.73 seconds, Todd Hoekstra of Kalamazoo, Mich. in third with 189.83, Chuck Belz of Linthicum, Md.  in fourth with 193.81 and Sheila Hoekstra of Kalamazoo, Mich., the high woman in the division, in fifth with one stage win and a final time of 207.86.

The Smith & Wesson East Coast Regional Revolver Championship was the fourth of seven events in the 2011 ICORE Regional Series presented by Smith & Wesson. The next event is the Smith & Wesson Southern Regional Revolver Championship on October 7-9 in Byram, Miss. at the Magnolia Rifle & Pistol Club range.
