Just re-upped my annual membership at Ike's (Izaak Walton).  I live in Lincoln, and so the range is just 15 minutes away.  I used to go to an indoor range in Lincoln, which is about only 5 minutes away, but besides sucking in all of that smoke, that powder smell would be like cologne, and whenever I would walk by the K-9 car afterwards, the dog would go nuts   

CZ was elected to Ike's Board of Directors this past summer, and so he would be able to give you the full low-down of what one would need to know re membership.  He's the one who started up Rock Your Glock competition at Ike's....currently 4x/yr....maybe a 5th in 2009, which has me salivating    With his enthusiasm and creative ideas, hopefully we'll even see some expansion of types of handgun shooting competitions.    That RYG is a LOT of fun.

Ike's: http://lincolnikes.org/

When I first joined Ike's and I was doing my "orientation" with a few others that evening, there was a trap shooting competition ongoing, and the place was hopping inside and out.  But usually when one goes shooting at the range, it's relatively quiet....except if one forgets to put on their ear protectors, which I did once while shooting my G30 at the pistol range under that tin roof...eh?, what was that you said?...eh?    Won't forget that again!

Columbus Rifle Club

  I am a memaber of the Columbus Rifle Club, this is my third year. We have a range located north west of Columbus. 25 yard pisitol, 50 yard rifle, 100 yard rifle and 200 yard ranges.We have a pretty good group of guys as members. Many really good shots. We have black powder events, pistol and rifle matches, squirrel gun matches. CCW training is also conducted here. Our monthly meetings are the first Monday of the month at the Loup Power Building in Columbus, in the mural room . Meetings start at 7:00PM

[Jay]

I am a member of the HFGC. (Hobscheidt Family Gun Club)  We have a membership of 4, me, the wife and the two kids. We conduct our own matches including trap, pistol, and rifle matches. I am proud to say that I rank 4th out of our entire club in pretty much all events. 

It's handy living out in the country, but I have often thought about joining a gun club just so that I can participate in some activities.

[Rich B]

Central City Sportsman's Club member here.  It's a bit rustic, but it's generally functional and quiet.

I also visit Grand Island's municipal range, the Heartland Public Shooting Park, from time to time.

I looked into joining this place and was told to stick to the bullethole

[Chris Z]

Member of ENGC and the Lincoln Izaak Walton ranges. Both very good facilities. ENGC is better set up for action pistol type stuff, whereas Lincoln Ikes is a good hang up targets and practice type range for me.

No secret handshake I know about!


Bullet Hole is a good place to shoot as well. I used to have a membership there, until one time I stopped in to shoot, and had my two young sons with me. I let each of the boys fire one round while I practiced. I got charged for 3 people for the full time. It cost me something like $50 for what normally cost me around $15. That ticked me off and I never renewed my membership. I do like to go up there and shoot the Tuesday night IDPA courses when I can still.

It was prob just an error there usually good about fixing things.My friend just got 1 1/2 of free range time.Back on topic im not part of any Competitive shooting but I would like to I've been shooting firearms for for about 28 years now.I tried to go out to the E.N.G.C. but they shut me down before I even got into the door.

[Chris Z]

What happened at ENGC that you got shut down?

[Randy]

ENGC pretty much excepts all applications. Only requirement is a current membership of the NRA.
Years past you had to be recommended by a current member.
This no longer applies.

Please explain your statement's.

I like to shot further than 25 yards with my rifles so, outdoors I go and ENGC is closest for me.
When weather is bad you cannot beat the Bullet Hole.

[VooDoo69]

Randy this was about 6-8 months ago. I emailed on information cause I use to pass the gate alot when I was doing other things out that way.I don't think I have the email anymore but I was told that bullethole is better for me I don't have a name at the moment.I'll ask a friend he might remember cause I think we were both kind of shocked at the response.Well shooting my handguns at bullethole is ok but not alot of fun for Rifles

[Aldo]

No secret handshake I know about!

Dang....and I thought that we could keep Dan hangin' on this one.
