    Glad to see we are getting more shootouts started. Go to OFF TOPIC and check out WHERE DO YOU LIVE. Contact everyone that lives within ? miles of where you are planning your shoot. Works for Mike and this old reprobate. You may just find some shooters that are willing to drive 2 to 400 miles to the shoot for the fun and to put real faces to our ? names. Good luck.

    I'm from Clinton.

    I run up to Matsell Bridge about once a month for something to do.

    We have a public 100yd south of me about 10 miles.

    I went to the last Varmint Match they held in Aug. 2010. Was a good time, friendly people, and quite a few Savages in the racks. I will probably try to go again this year. Try out a couple of my latest creations.

    Re: Iowa

    Well the weather is starting to get nice now. Does anyone know of a range with longer than 200 yard distances that is within a few hours drive of Cedar Rapids?

    We have a 330 yard (300 meters) range just North of Burlington. You have to be a Certified Member or in the company of a Certified Member though.

    Re: Iowa

    It's run by the Des Moines County Conservation Board, and is part of the Big Hollow Park.

    The link below is the only link I know of concerning the Range. The link is not much but here it is.

    http://www.dmcconservation.com/SR.html

    The rules do allow Permit holders to bring a guest so if you'd like to check it out, send me a PM and maybe I can help.
