Just thinking....is this possible?
NE Bull:
Here's a CRAZY idea. Every year this state level gun rights organization in Nebraska holds an annual meeting at Heartland Shooting Park just outside Grand Island in late August (22nd is the rumor this year)
In the recent past, there have been various sessions for shooting, and other related activities, even for the kids. The head honchos are always looking for ideas, contacts, and most of all volunteers to make each year bigger than the last.
I know for a fact that many of the ideas ya'll spoke of here have been thrown on the table., BUT they need more than the same 8ish folks stepping up and more than 50 attendees to make it work and worthwhile.
Of course, there's the same old ' it's sooooo far to drive now seems weak if folks are willing to travel to Minnesota to man handle guns.

If only there were a shooting range near I-80 in Lincoln that could host an event like this, and other national shooting events. Do you think Lincoln and surrounding communities would be able to sustain such a complex? I am not talking some mounds of sand, I mean a full on world class shooting range. Rifle out to 1000 yd, multiple 25yd, 50yd, 100yd, and 400yd shooting bays. On site sales, rentals, gunsmiths. Indoor facilities for classes, meetings, and shows of this nature. Indoor shooting facilities. Archery. Could a place like this exist? Would you pay a membership to be a part of something like that? Just thinking....

Wouldn't it be awesome to live within 30 minutes of that complex?

Short answer.... No.
Lancaster County had a opportunity to have a privately funded drag strip just north of I-80 and what did we do? Shut it down because race cars are to loud. If such a place did exist it would more than likely shut down several other ranges in the Lincoln area. I do not thing that Lincoln can support such a facility and other local ranges.
I honestly think it would have to be a public range. Not everyone (myself included) shoot enough to justify a membership. But when they do want to go out the are limited to where they can go to shoot.
