Last year my family decided to buy our first house. This was after living in a rented 2 bedroom condo for 13 years. After looking at a few homes, we finally decided on a short sale in Algonquin, IL. Turns out a "short" sale is nothing but short! Finally, after 10 months of waiting, we closed on it. We will be moving in the first week of June, as our son is graduating 8th grade. We wanted him to be able to graduate with his class.
Meanwhile it is getting a bit of TLC, plus a bunch of cleaning and landscaping. Nice area with good schools. The neighbors we have already met are friendly and welcoming. Have family and friends relatively nearby (one reason for picking the area).
Already checked the village ordinances and airguns are allowed as long as you keep the shots on the property and are shooting at a target with a safe backstop. Already have a pellet trap so that is taken care of. No powder discharge of any kind. Have already heard fireworks in the area, so hopefully they are lenient on that hobby of mine as well!
Any members near the area? I would like to get together and share in this hobby of reloading and shooting with others.
Also looking for an outdoor range (public or private) within a reasonable distance.
