Wow, has it really been a year?

Hey folks. Plinkers is not dead, but it has been on hiatus for a number of reasons. Though we're not currently doing regular outings, I am always excited for an opportunity to shoot and am especially excited for opportunities to introduce people to shooting. So, if you'd like go sometime, feel free to contact me and we can try to work out a one-on-one session or small outing.

Space guns and FOIDs

If you didn't go on this last outing, you didn't get the chance to shoot this--

So sorry. (It's an FN FS2000...the model number is also the price!) You also missed out on a Glock 21 .45ACP, a Ruger Mark II and the usual Plinkers rifles.

Even more exciting than the gear, though, was the fact that we had a record four new people this outing! Thanks to everyone who came out. I think it's safe to say that a good time was had by all. We will be going again at the end of May, likely on a weeknight.

On a related note, if you haven't gotten your FOID card yet, the turnaround time has improved a bit. I believe it took just three weeks for me to get my renewal (arrived just yesterday). This is pretty quick and dramatically faster than Chicago's annual processing of my gun registrations. If you still need motivation, check out this article.
