NE Bull:
To be frank, bullit, IDK! The folks at HQ seem to have a problem answering emails.
I think a trip to G&P HQ is on my list. (throw it in with Top shot meetings, and Legislative hearings... I'll git r done.)

NFOA started this process in late 2011 and had a all volunteer committee of NFOA members organize and deploy an online range survey that ran in this forum for quite some time, and We (NFOA) were very public about our plans to get some new ranges built in Nebraska that would be open to the public.
I doubt anyone thought the ranges would be built with no funds coming from NFOA since it was our idea to begin this process
Funds raised in raffles that can not be used for lobbying purposes were tasked to help get the range project off the ground and will be matched 3 or 4 to one by NE G&P and other funding.
To say that the members were not notified is just not true. We publicly asked the members to participate in the process. Those members that stepped up did a very fine job of representing the NFOA.
All of the BOD decisions made are documented in the minutes of the NFOA Board and have been posted online.
Here is a link and a excerpt from one if the early reports from the range committee

--- Quote ---2i.) Work with G&P to develop a public range at WMA – Action report/update
Dan W. reported the committee has made good progress. Jeremy C. and Keith E. are to meet with a contact from the NGP soon. Report should be made next month.
Volunteers have been offering to help with the work on a regular basis.
As a result of this activity, the committee has developed and is currently running a survey online for the members and the public input information about the state of public and private shooting ranges throughout the state of Nebraska.[/quote]

I asked NE G&P staff about progress on the sight in ranges. Here is the response I received.
--- Quote ---The new design is about complete and we are hoping to put this sight in range out for bids in the next month or so. Killdeer WMA is the location and it will be a really nice place for hunters to sight in a deer rifle. We are still looking at a tube style design.

Killdeer WMA is approximately 2 1/2 miles north of Martell, NE, in SW Lancaster Co.

So, this is just for "sight-in" purposes? ::)
