Newbie to the forum in Fairfield! I know of nothing organized anywhere nearby.
New to airguning........ We live in Des Moines, Iowa and am looking to head up to Big Creek range as soon as I get either one of my PCP's; I have ordered the Airforce Texan .457cal LSS w/CF tank and the Benjiman Bulldog .357cal. Excited to get shooting. I am looking for SCBA tank (American made preference). I have my NSA .457 cal rounds so far lol I have found great Veterans discounts from both PCP companies. Looking forward to meet more shooters in Iowa. I am looking to go to Texas for hog hunting and FL for some invasive species hunting and fishing. Good to see others are shooting airguns in Iowa. Oh, we have Gamo Swarm Gen2 in the .22 cal. A great break barrel.

I plan on heading to South Dakota for some prairie dog shooting with some friends later this summer on the res, should be a challenge, tuning my Flash .22 to sling 26gr pellets for it

Oh, we have Gamo Swarm Gen2 in the .22 cal. A great break barrel.With the Airforce Texan .457 LSS w/CF tank can easily reach out to 150 - 200 yards; for a predictor for sure (with practice). The Benjimin Bulldog is very accurate at 100 yards. But, I don't really have any plans of just going coyote hunting. I am getting these for Texas hogs, Florida hogs - Iguanas - tilapia and any other invasives; maybe even Arizona Mule deer, impala's and what ever else is out there. Nephew is looking into Idaho elk hunting too......I have the Swarm Magnum G2 .22 as well. FYI you can legally hunt coyotes and wild hogs in Iowa.
