Aguila's Plinko De Mayo

Hey all, we here at True Shot Academy want to shed some light on Aguila’s Plinko De Mayo celebration. Aguila is well-known for their quality rimfire offerings and are regarded as the largest rimfire ammunition manufacturer in the world. The goal of this blog post is to inform readers about a community event that Aguila is currently running which encourages shooters to have fun and get out to the range. Without further ado, let’s talk Plinko De Mayo.

What is Plinko De Mayo?

Plinko De Mayo, an obvious spin on Cinco De Mayo, is a new holiday that has been introduced by Aguila. The event draws inspiration from and celebrates Aguila’s Mexican heritage in a way that can be enjoyed by shooters of all types. The event focuses on .22 Long Rifle ammunition. This is an excellent choice as many shooters own a firearm in the caliber and are familiar with it. Rimfire calibers such as .22 Long Rifle are also easily enjoyed by shooters of all skill levels, whether they are seasoned or new to the hobby. Shooters will be able to participate in the event for a chance to win a swag bag from Aguila and be featured on their social media. The winner for the event will be selected on May 10^th and can potentially win a swag bag from Aguila and be featured on the company’s social media.

The company suggests that entrants utilize some form of reactive target for Plinko De Mayo. Aguila recommends the use of more reactive targets as they provide better impact confirmation than paper targets do. Aguila suggests the following items as effective targets:

Balloons
Watermelons
Pinatas
Hard Mexican Candy
Golf Balls
Soda Cans

These potential targets are just some of the suitable options one can use.
