BuryTheHatchet Posted November 20, 2016 Hello, living in central iowa. Been looking for quite some time for a group. Welcome! Every group you will find will be different, as everyone has unique skillsets and personal feelings. It just depends upon your personal style and interests. I can personally vouch for the "Three Percenters - Iowa" group on Facebook. They are a group that cares about individuals and family, while staying motivated to protect the Constitution and personal rights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BuryTheHatchet Posted November 20, 2016 There is a national site to get some of the background and info on us... http://www.thethreepercenters.org/ We do a lot of minor chatting and group news on Facebook. If you let me know what county you are in, I will figure out what zone you live in. Then I can contact the zone lead to get in contact with you. We also have training events and get togethers throughout the year at various places. You are welcome to come out and see what we are about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Letfreedomring Posted November 20, 2016 awesome, i made a facebook but am unable to load iowas page. im assuming you have to be invited to the group. Im from boone county Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BuryTheHatchet Posted November 21, 2016 The Facebook group is a closed group. The main page should load though. Make sure it is the "Three Percenters - Iowa" page. You should see a few boxes to the left side of center a little ways down from the top. There is a "JOIN" box to click. You will then be allowed to view the page once you are approved.

BuryTheHatchet Posted March 21, 2018 You are making me jealous. I have a ton of desire to get back outside and shoot when winter is done and family stuff slows down. Iowa is filled with great people. Thanks for posting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Acog Posted March 21, 2018 If your in or near northern IA I own a 28'x28' steel building on a 1/4 acre, fenced in and I shot handguns there. Rifles I go to a friends farm. I am looking for a area that has 400 to 600 meters to do a bit farther out. I just love to lay on the ground and send rounds down range. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BuryTheHatchet Posted April 24, 2018 3 hours ago, MamaMary said: Just relocating to South Central Iowa. Looking to network and train. Welcome to the site! There are several groups in Iowa. Not just militia types, but also plenty of preppers, survivalists, and prepsteaders too. The ones that train together are getting harder to contact due to Facebook cracking down on us. You most likely will have to know someone personally to get into the groups, otherwise be prepared for a wait while someone contacts to you for a vetting process.
