OK, lets get right into it...



  1. Is anyone familiar with the process for turning in an out-of-state CCL for an Iowa one?

  2. Are there any long range ranges in Iowa? I mean MORE than 300m, ideally 1,000' or more.

1.    As of July 1, 2021, Iowa is a permitless carry state for both open carry and concealed carry for anyone at least 21 years old that may lawfully possess a handgun. Iowa will continue to issue Permits to Carry Weapons (PCW), for reciprocity purposes. Go to your local Iowa sheriff's office and apply for an Iowa permit.
2.  Van Meter(600 M) and High Lakes (800 Y)range(Creston)

There is a range near Waukon(IIRC) that goes to 1000. Membership required, and you have to shoot for qualification to be allowed to shoot 500-1000 yards. Never shot there, it's mentioned in the IA range thread on top of the page.

ETA-Elkader, not Waukon.

There is a range just north of Afton that goes out to 700yds. Really nice range.

Go to the Sheriffs office. I recommend you get a permit for out of state carry.

Here are a couple outdoor ranges. Stronghold is up in NE Iowa near me, Sure shot is near Cedar Rapids. Contact them for more info.

Appears the 700 yard range is closed due to safety reasons.

Need to be a member at Van Meter or a guest of a member.  Becoming a member is akin to becoming a member of the Illuminati.  Have a couple of friends who are long time members there.  Even they shake their head sometimes.

Van Meter has a waiting list.  And an existing member has to recommend you.  In over 20 yrs there I've only run across one or two problems.
