Wanted to bump this back up to the top. Need to continue to talk about this!

Thanks for bumping the thread. Somehow, I missed it.
I agree. The closer to Omaha and/or Lincoln the better. However, I think that needs to be weighed against the following (which I believe will make for a successful event):
1. A partner with liability insurance
2. A location with varied terrain and shooting locations/positions (IMO, traditional shooting bays are not ideal for an event like this)
3. A location large enough to handle the competitors and necessary parking
4. A food vendor/partner
5. Sponsors will to attend, provide prizes & give-aways and set up & staff booths (Trek Tech Black is on board in this capacity)
I've reached out to the Old Breed Gun Club but haven't heard anything back. They have what I would consider a near-perfect facility ... with the exception that it is about three hours from Omaha or Lincoln.

1. You had discussed 88 tactical? Anymore info?
2. Agreed with you opinion takes you back to #1.
3. Back to #1. You had said about limiting it to 50 competitors. Does that include event staff?
4. Depending on the location I am not sure if this is a necessary. If we feel there will be a lot of spectators then yet I would agree this is needed. If it is just shooters then I would say it is bring your own lunch.
5. If we can get sponsers to attend great! I think with some of your connections and some phone calls from event staff a really nice prize table could be had. I would say we start by looking at all the sponsors of major uspsa/3 gun nation matches and see what we can get. We could also look at doing a gun raffle at this time maybe?
I agree with Oldbreed those guys have a amazing facility but there facility is a privately owned property. I am not sure what type of insurance they have or the owner has. Maybe try and reach out to them on Facebook or PM me and I can give the name of the VP.

Although this doesn't meet the close to Omaha request, Fort Robinson (waaay out in the panhandle) would be a great place. Beautiful scenery, buttes, canyons and more. It's a state park that has hunting so one weekend of shooting shouldn't be too big of a problem plus there is lots of housing at the fort. It would have to be planned a year out to allow for room availability (it's a popular place).

I think a food vendor would be a very good idea, but I don't think it's a deal killer if we don't have one. At the OK event they had a smoker set up and made pulled pork for everyone for free. It was really nice having food onsite since we were there all day. Having the event closer to Lincoln/Omaha would make it a lot easier to find a vendor.
