Can anyone tell me anything about Keystone?

Looks like a small town about 30 minutes outside of CR. Mostly concerned about trap/skeet/sporting clays as I anticipate living somewhere that I can shoot rifle/pistol on my property.

Gunshops, town, people, etc.

Not a sure thing at this point, but if it winds up happening, CCA is going to make me a verry happy, broke man.

Small town west of Cedar Rapids.  I know there is a Linn County Izaak Walton League NW of town.  Gunshops; Cedar Valley Outfitters in Marion.  Gander Mountain in CR.  Scheels in Coralville, Fin and Feather in IC, Ammo Bearer In IC.  CR gunshow usually pretty good.  Gabes Gunshop outside of Williamsburg (he works the show circuit on weekends).  DNR range along the resevoir.  

Don't know what's west of town.

Where in Iowa do you originally hail from?




And are you a black male who graduated in 03?

Well, I'm not a native Iowan. Went to ISU. But I called Ames, Boone, Nevada, and Afton all 'home' at some point.

And no. Graduated in '08 and am a fat white guy. Even used to have a sweet, sweet chin beard.

You'll see all the jabbering is in good fun and I'm usually only a dick on the interwebz.

Looking forward to receiving some of your wisdom (they tell me it's glorious).



I've heard some of the CR gun-shop drama, but never really paid attention. Really all I need is a good source of reloading components and even then I usually end up getting it online. Otherwise my plan is to join IFC and abuse my CCA privlidges

True.  I used to stop in there a lot when Roger had the place.  Not so much anymore.  Still they have a decent selection.

Bummer... I knew a Sam W who lived here,  moved to Colorado (where you were before Ohio right?)then also moved to Ohio or something.... except he's a skinnier black dude.

Fat white guy with a beard?...you and I will get along great

Don't think I'll need it, but while you're in a giving mood, how about a suppressor?

No beard anymore, can we still be fwends?



Oh, and don't worry, the only bike I'd bring with me has a 100ci engine

Haha. I think we only crossed paths for about a week or so. I've been back to Brookston several times since (still have buddies there) and to ride in Attica several times. Will be back in Iowa Wed-Sat for my 2nd interview/facility tour.

Well, it's official. Accepted the position this AM.

Now I need a hand finding a house to rent between/around Keystone and CR. Need something with a garage under $850/mo.
