Spikedriver, love Iowa, some of the friendliest people I've ever met. I'm an old pheasant hunter and would make a trip out to Iowa every other year for about 12 years running, then the birds disappeared.
Hunted in and around Oskaloosa, Vinton, Elkader,Russell and Storm Lake.
Wifes grandmother was from Clermont.
My Ruger Bisley is the older model, bigger and heavier than the new model.
I love the extra weight and enjoy shooting 38's out of her, the 357 are to loud.
