Any shooters in central Iowa? Am looking to hook up with others to shoot with. I am new to this and would like to get started right.

Re: Iowa

horsemen3,

That is a little farther than I can travel for a day shoot. Weekend is another story. I am about 4 hrs from your area. What kind of range do you have available? The longest "official" range is 600 yds @ Van Meter Gun Club.

Thanks,
Rich
 
Re: Iowa

4 hrs is a hell of a drive. No official ranges at all. just open fields and long walks to set up targets. still looking for a good 1k yard area to make a "range" as for right now i have been just asking farmers permission and hangin steel where ever i can get.
 
Re: Iowa

am here for a day more but Van Meter is a good place to shoot. but Yes take the trip to Wi lots of good ranges there.
