I've been a member of the Lincoln Ikes for two years now.  Many happy days spent there since.

Ikes member (life IWLA).
Gun related issues are, by nature, deadly serious.  Still, you have to maintain a sense of humor about them.

Partsman257,

On the north side of Lincoln there is a trap club.  They are Lincoln Trap and Skeet.

I am not affiliated with them, and have never been there.  If you are interested in more (handguns and rifles), you should look into the Lincoln Izaak Walton League of America as others have suggested.  The Izaak Walton club is southeast of Lincoln on Highway 2 near Bennet, NE.

I've been a member at both ENGC and The Bullet Hole for a number of years.  Now if I could only find the time to actually go to ENGC to shoot.  It's a lot easier and less fussy to shoot at TBH, but I agree that 25 yards with a rifle is pretty pointless.

Being used to hot-range gun-school range rules and weapon discipline, the rules at Eastern are a pain in the posterior.

With all the Lincoln Ikes members on this board we should really get together some weekend and do some shooting.  It would be fun to meet everyone in persons.

Some of us probably have met already and didnt' know it.  In fact, your name seems familiar (assuming koenig is your name).  I think we may have run into each other by the snail trap one day awhile back.

I was there yesterday!  :)

Edited here:

I should have said Saturday, not yesterday, since it was early this morning when I commented.

Chris would probably be in the best position to make some overatures to Ikes members.  Perhaps he already has in one way or another, or is planning to.  I don't really know any of the other members, and have no way of contacting them outside of running into them at the range.  However, I will be happy to do some recruiting while I'm there to shoot should anyone else be there at the same time.

We definitely could have met...usually if I'm on the handgun range I'm shooting a muzzleloader or my little .22 Stevens Favorite.  I don't do a whole lot of handgun shooting.

I met Roper out there one day, purely by chance.

I'm a member of the Alliance rifle club. www.alliancerifleclub.com We've gone through some big changes the last few years with the lose of one range, the purchase of more ground and new construction. We  currently have the only 1000 yard range in western Nebraska

Been a member of ENGC for around 10 years or so. Wasn't shooting much for most of it but have been getting more active lately.

Is anyone here a member of the Bellevue Rod & Gun Club??  I am interested in joining and sent a an e-mail to the contact listed on their web site asking whether they are accepting new members, and if so, what the requirements are.  I have not received a response.  If anyone on this forum can provide that info, please let me know.

 Thanks, Clay

Hi ya Clay.

I did the same thing with the Bellevue club, with the same results.  I actually had to go out to the club site to get some answers.  I wandered around for a bit and was finally approached by a member and asked if I needed something.  I asked questions about the membership and found that you have to know a member to become a member.  No open membership nights/days.  That and the annual dues are around $250 a year and there is a commitment for like 45 hours of club service (cleaning up the ranges, painting, etc) each year.  I don?t have a problem with the service issue, but no open membership?   No way to join except through another member?  You gotta be kidding!

Sounds like they don't want any new members....... Old Boy Network .......

Yes, I have heard that Bellevue Rod & Gun is pretty exclusive , so I have never attended a trap shoot there.
