Hello from Illinois

[Bshooter]

Welcome to the forum. I lived in Illinois for 60 years and shot at all the clubs that put on USPSA matches. I did shoot a DCM match at the Aurora gun club. I didn't know it had moved. I now live in Florida where I can shoot a match every weekend and also night matches during the week. Life doesn't get any better than this. Bshooter

Hi All,

Another Chicagoan here, thanks to the Supreme Court finally ending Daley's ridiculous hand gun ban we can finally legally own handguns in the city!

I am just getting started amd looking to learn more about competitive pistol shooting.

Any recommendations for good instructors (private/small group lessons) in the Chicagoland area?

Thanks!

Windy City,

Welcome to IPSC. Pine Tree pistol club in Rockford offers a basic pistol

course. But, right now the club is in transition and it may be a could of

months before the class is offered again.

However, starting again in January we will be shooting IPSC on Thursday

nights starting at 6pm. Also we will start having our monthly IPSC match

on the first Sunday of the month. Not sure yet if we are going to have a

match in January.

Oak Park Sportsmans club in Plainfield, IL is a great club. You can google

both Pine Tree and Oak Park. Also another great club is Tri County Gun Club,

but its a bit of a drive from Chicago (around 2 hours). Tri County has 3 gun

matches every month, but you can shoot only handgun.

If you have any questions PM me.
