Iowa was a shotgun slug dear hunting state. Now you can use straight wall cartridges for dear hunting (.357 mag caliber and up), and I would expect longer ranges to open up in the future. Lots of Henry rifles were sold last year - 1st year of this new law.

Our other Arizona Instructors of course, but there's always room - and need - for more help... interested?

Likely won't be an issue though, if there's no place I can shoot a rifle at ranges befitting a rifle, they can't pay me enough to live there - well, unless they pay me enough to buy the land to build my own damn range of course.

There is a range in eastern Iowa called SureShot Range located just south of Waterloo a little ways. I believe you can get 800yds. I know their website shows some videos of 600 but i believe ive read 800. You reserve the range all to yourself for i wanna say 35$ for a 4 hour block. no membership required. Information is on the sureshot website. Just google SureShot range Mt. Auburn, IA and it should come up

Perfect! Exactly what I was looking for, albiet a might pricey compared to Arizona ranges ( one afternoons use costing half what I pay now for a whole year membership), but not totally out of reach, and still a whole lot cheaper than buying a bunch of land and piling my own berms.

Unfortunately, the aformentioned job (less than 35 minutes from this range btw) is gone now, but I'm good to go if another opens up!

The best range I've been to in Iowa is High Lakes Shooting Range although not in eastern Iowa it is in Creston Iowa and they have the capability to get 880 (1/2 mile) no membership and it costs 5$ for the whole day. There's what it looks like at the PRS competition I did a few weekends ago. If your ever around southern Iowa.
