Well I guess I am the only hunter here in Illinois that hunts with a handgun. Was I wrong for asking such a question? Please help me out here I was jsut looking for a club, some guys/gals that love to shoot handgun, etc. I thought we were all to stick together, another reason I joined this web page, and the NRA.
Another reason was to try and get some locals on a hunt out west for Elk, Mulies, Antelope, etc. No other reason.

Thank you for the reply.

I live quite aways from you too. What about looking for an NRA match near you. Another place to look is the IHMSA web-site and see if there are any matches close by. Here is the state directors contact info.

Illinois, Dale Kroetz, (618) 244-4438 kroetz@mvn.net

Attend a few matches and see if the guys also like to hunt. I know alot do hunt, and all the IHMSA guys are very willing to help.

Yes, they are Georgia Jim's. The grip has a thumb rest and is called the Jimbo style.
