That would be great. I was thinking like Rock Glen down by fairbury. Lots hips draws all that stuff. I use to hunt it before I got access to more private land

I know I could recruit 5-7 shooters for an event like this, even if there's a drive of a coupe hours involved.

I agree, you want lots of varied terrain.

Lots of great ideas guys but I think we need a ring leader! I'm willing to assist as much as possible but I am spread pretty thin. More organization we have now the better we will later!

Good point.  I've never run something like this before but I'm willing to take the lead in organizing it, unless someone else would like to do it.  I would welcome any input from experienced match directors.

AAllen:
Been thinking about location, anyone here a member of Bellevue Rod and Gun Club?  Think they might be interested in partnering up?  There facility itself is not big enough for this but just across HWY 75 (trying to get exact location) Papio NRD has some land, which they have no funding to do anything with.  This land at one point had a factory on it that polluted the soil, and there were some water wells for Bellevue that turned up contaminated and had to be shut down.  There is a county road that goes under the highway to get there.

There is a couple of the Board Members that have been after me to look at developing a range there, something that sits next door to an established gun club is something I don't think would be a good idea.  But being able to make use of that land in conjunction with a gun Club and their land for something like this might be good.  We could even encourage them to do habitat restoration \ land clean up and work things out so we could have use of the land for several years.

Extra issues to overcome, obviously using county roads but that should not be a problem.  Biggest issue is this land is under the flight path for OFFUTT AFB, but it is far enough out that as long as we reach out and coordinate should be workable, and may encourage some folks from there to compete.
