I have a old friend, who lives in Ames Iowa, who I would like to visit. He has been down on his luck for several years and is too proud for his own good, like me I'm afraid. Life has not been kind to him and he has made several very bad decisions. But he is still a friend, I think he needs a little support and I would like to see him, to see if I can help. Point is that I can not just stop by 600 miles away. So wife suggested I go shooting in the area and stop by then, while I am "in the area". Would have been nice if she told me to go buy another gun in the area but she failed to do that. What shooting avenues are there in the Ames Iowa area, plus of minus 150 miles. Clays, hunting or whatever. Even a dog breeder, who I can visit to get into the area. Time can be from now until early Fall.
