outdoor rifle shooting question??

(1/4) > >>

ComedianX:
I live in Lincoln and am kinda new to Nebraska. I enjoy visting Thunder Alley to put some lead down range, however, I would like to find a place outdoors to fire off a couple rounds of 5.56 out of my ar-15. So my question is, where do you go for good 50-100 yd outdoor range time? Thanks!!

Izaak Walton off of Hwy 2 by Bennet.  Join this month.  You know you want to.  i shoot at the Vintage Military rifle matches there during the summer as time allows, it is a nice range.  I will also be looking into getting a membership there as well, maybe i'll see ya there sometime.

Yea, I was checking out Isaac Walton, how many people here are members? I didn't see anything on their calender this month for new membership. I guess I could call them. Thanks!

I'm an Ikes member.  We have rifle ranges from 25 to 300 meters, pistol from 7 to 25, trap, and 5 stand.  The 25, 50, 75 and 100 are open to members all the time except during scheduled matches.  The 200 and 300 are open only when a range officer is scheduled, usually 2 or 3 times a week. 

Membership is ala carte, you can buy a rifle/pistol membership, a shotgun, or both.  New member orientation is required before you use the range.   I think a rifle/pistol card is $130 per year, plus a one time deposit on the key card. They usually have a class every month.
 
The website should have a membership application if you're interested.  I usually shoot almost every weekend, so if you want to try it out let me know (a guest pass is $10 per day).  I just had some minor shoulder surgery though so I probably wont be out for a couple of weeks.

armed and humorous:
I was a member for several years, let it lapse last year for financial reasons (no work).  I would like to renew it, as the range is a nice place to shoot whether you want to go on your own or shoot in competitions.  The prices may have gone up.  I think I paid about $100 for a one year rifle card (includes the pistol range as well) and the cost of local membership (I am a lifetime national member) plus the deposit for the gate key (electronic card type).

I actually took the range safety officer class, hoping that it would get me onto the 300 yard range without having to go when a bunch of others were there (for competition or whatever), but that's not how they work it there.  You still have to go when a designated RSO is scheduled to run the range.  Oh, well.  :(

I don't know of any other outdoor range any closer or cheaper or better.  Well, there may be better ones, but not as close, and probably not as cheap.
