Question for Illinois crowd, do you shoot less since PICA was enacted? If yes was it because of PICA?

No, why would I shoot less?

I live six hours south of Chicago, nobody is acting different locally. Same people at our private range.

It did make it harder to purchase some items.

No change in shooting habits.

FFL's can't transfer AR's and such but I didn't really plan on buying more anyway. Otherwise, everything is pretty much the same in central IL.

It got me to buy a mini 14. That’s about it.

There are only one or two guns on my list I can’t buy here now. They will have to wait until I move.
Clinging to my guns and religion in Illinois.

I'm actually shooting more.  The publicity around PICA got several disinterested friends and acquaintances more aware of firearms and importance of 2A protections.  Whole bunch of new shooting buddies.

If someone forgot to register an AR by the original date/deadline, is there any downside to registering it now?  Asking for a poor bastard friend who still lives in IL.

The registry is open to new citizen moving to the state to register their banned items. Registering after its closed to you may present a problem, play at your own risk.
