couple outdoor DNR ranges, one in Polk City and one near Carlisle.
couple private ranges, one with a long waitlist Des Moines rifle and revolver is a 2 year wait last I heard Issac Walton league in Elkhart is an option but you have to figure out their schedule a lot of times I have heard (IDPA, USPSA, 3 gun, HS Trap). there is a decent long distance range near Afton about 1:15 from Des Moines if you bring your own stuff you can shoot closer ranges |

Warren County Izaak Walton League is another option. It would be about 20-25 miles south of Des Moines right next to Lake Ahquabi. 4 trap stands, at least 1 manual trap thrower, covered rifle and pistol range up to 150 yards and they have a calendar posted online for range closures and other events. Here is the website:

Is that guy’s mobile home still down range and off to the side of the berm at Colfax? I went there years ago and seen that…never been back. Why someone would build down range and off to the side of a gun clubs berm just boggles my mind.

Yes but the range made changes to the direction of the shooting lanes, beefed up the berms, etc. etc.

When I moved here about 10 years ago, and asked where to shoot my new gun, someone told me to crank a few rounds off on the east side. Seems to be valid still.
 Don't actually take that advice seriously. |
