All this rain has us thinking one thing:

Harvest is coming.

Eventually. As soon as it stops raining.

At some point, the combines will roll, the tractors will hit the field, and Wiley the Coyote will inevitably decide he has business in the wrong place at the wrong time.

If you need a few options to help take care of unwanted coyotes around the farm this harvest season, stop in and talk with us.

We’ve got a few good options that fit in the combine and tractor.

Because apparently Wiley doesn’t understand that the field is occupied. 🌾

Hunting season has a way of showing up faster than you think.

One minute you're saying, “I’ve got plenty of time.”

The next minute you're digging through the closet wondering where half your gear went.

Whether you need new equipment, want to replace something that’s seen better days, or just need to get your existing gear cleaned up and ready for the season, now’s the time.

Don’t wait until the night before.

Stop into Bean Armory and let’s get you ready to go.

Corporate strategy meetings:

PowerPoints.

Forecasts.

Market analysis.

Bean Armory strategy meetings:

"Let's just take care of people."

It's not exactly a revolutionary business strategy.

But it's been working pretty well.

Know your customers.

Listen to them.

Treat them well.

Give them a reason to come back.

Results have been encouraging.

If you're in the area, come see us. Have a question? Give us a call.
We'd love to earn your business.

Not every round is meant to punch holes in paper.

Sometimes, the job is making noise.

Whether you're training, running demonstrations, working with theatrical productions, or using an approved blank-firing setup, having dependable blank ammunition matters just as much as the real thing.

Fiocchi 9mm Blank Ammunition is built with the same attention to consistency and quality the brand is known for.

Because even blanks should go bang when they're supposed to.

We’re hearing strange noises in the loft.

Could be the building settling.

Could be one of us.

Could be something else entirely. 👀

Either way, we’re investigating.

Stay tuned.

Things are about to get a little weird around here. 👻

Cedar Rapids — you showed up. And we’re damn glad you did.

A big THANK YOU to everyone who stopped by Bean Armory at Hawkeye Downs this weekend. Whether you came to talk shop, browse the tables, catch up with us, or just say hello, we appreciate every conversation and every familiar face.

This is what The Trail is all about.

It’s not just a list of shows. It’s the road that takes us around Iowa, the people we meet along the way, and the communities that keep small businesses like ours moving forward.

And we’re not done with Cedar Rapids for the year yet.

📍 Hawkeye Downs
📅 November 13–15

We’ll also be making plenty of stops throughout the surrounding area this fall. Check out The Trail for the rest of our 2026 show schedule and see where we’re headed next. Come find us at...

Stop 10: Davenport, 09/18 - 09/20
Stop 11: West Liberty, 09/25 - 09/27
Stop 16: Iowa City, 10/31 - 11/01
Stop 17: Waterloo, 11/06 - 11/08
Stop 20: Des Moines, 11/27 - 11/29
The Final Stop, 23: Waverly, 12/18 - 12/20

Until then — thanks for making this weekend one worth remembering.

You always make it worth the drive. Worth the stop. Worth the Trail.

The sun has a habit of clocking out.

That doesn't mean your gear should.

The Streamlight TLR-1 Weapon Light delivers a bright, dependable beam when lighting conditions aren't exactly cooperating. Built tough and trusted by professionals, it's designed for the moments when seeing clearly matters most.

Because "I couldn't see" isn't a great backup plan.

Dependable.
Rugged.
Ready when you are.

Guessing is a strategy.

Just not a very good one.

Whether you're dialing in a handload, comparing factory ammunition, or simply curious what your setup is actually doing, hard numbers beat educated guesses every time.

The Athlon Rangecraft Velocity Pro Radar Chronograph gives you the data to spend less time wondering and more time improving.

No walking downrange.
No shooting through skyscreens.
Just reliable velocity data, right at your bench.
