The Five Ws of Plinkers:

WHO: Anyone interested in shooting for fun. No experience required. Right now, this group consists of men only, but I’m not averse to including women in the future.

WHAT: Shooting for fun, or plinking*, generally with small caliber rifles or handguns. Food will follow. (*Some refer to this as plunking but…)

WHEN: Either monthly or bi-monthly, depending on the level of interest and eligibility (must have a Firearm Owners ID, or FOID, card).

WHERE: Shooting ranges in the suburbs. We want safe, affordable, well-ventilated and maintained ranges that are easy to get to.

WHY: For fun, fellowship, education and experience. Being able to safely handle and effectively use a firearm is a knightly skill which we, as defenders of “widows and orphans” and others without natural defenders, should acquire and develop. It’s also one which happens to be a lot of fun.
