Any good outdoor shooting ranges in or around omaha?

Thanks for the info guys. the Eastern NE gun club is the most local to me, however the membership dues are pretty steep.
I guess I will just need to find a friend with a farm and shoot there :)

If you think about it, for a range with 7 pistol bays, a trap range, a 100-yard range, a 300-meter range, and a 600-yard range, that is open every day from sunrise to sunset--$10 a month isn't much of a fee.....

The first year is a bit more with the other fees. But your right 10 bucks a month is well worth it. That is one range visit to any indoor range.
Questions about the pistol bays. Are people lowed to draw from holsters ms practice "dynamically"? For example ineligible targets possibly with movement involved rapid fire all that stuff? I'm really getting bored at shooting at paper....

Well, you can only use full-auto guns on bays 5 and 6. But other than that, for the most part, as long as
1) the rounds all go into the berm,
2) you shoot in a safe fashion, (no 180 breaks, no sweeping yourself or others, etc)
3) you clean up after yourself (target/stand materials, brass, trash),
4) you don't use exploding targets (no, no Tannerite) or targets made of glass, and
5) you don't shoot any of the club materials, props, or equipment (yes, you have to bring your own targets and target stands)....
...then you are good to go.
Among other things, people practice USPSA and Multigun shooting on the pistol bays. Given the fast-shooting, run-and-gun, multiple-targets-including-steel aspects of that---chances are what you have in mind will be good to go. (Drawing from concealment is also allowed.)
As for the first year---yeah, the additional startup fee (or whatever they are calling it) isn't fun. But if you think about it---it really means that for the first year, you are just paying $20 a month.
That's STILL really only one trip per month to an indoor range. (Take Aim is $22 per hour, and you have to buy their targets. Bullet Hole is "only" $16 for an hour of shooting, but you also have to buy their targets.) So---still pretty much a deal, comparatively, if a person is actually going to shoot regularly.
If you "only" go once every two months for 2-3 hours of range time to ENGC, you are _still_ paying less for that first year of ENGC than you are for time at either one of those two indoor ranges. And you can DO more varied (and useful) practice.
So---yeah, I much prefer ENGC. (Yes, even outdoor in this weather.) I personally don't particularly like shooting at public indoor ranges.
