Title: Who has a gun club membership- check in
Post by: Dan W on December 05, 2008, 06:45:03 PM: Gun Club Members:

Tell us about the Clubs you belong to

I am a member at Lincoln Trap & Skeet, been there about 11 years, and I am just now joining the Izaak Walton League club southeast of Lincoln.

I still need to take the Orientation before I can shoot on the rifle and pistol ranges, maybe next week.

Any one else a member at the Ikes? i need the secret handshake and stuff ;)

Post by: Aldo on December 06, 2008, 09:23:45 AM: 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 ;D

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 :o 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/ (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? :P Won't forget that again!

Post by: Jay on December 06, 2008, 10:24:10 AM: I am a member of the HFGC. (Hobscheidt Family Gun Club) ;D 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. 8)

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.

Post by: Rich B on December 06, 2008, 11:26:58 AM: 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.

Title: Re: Who has a gun club membership- check in
Post by: Chris Z on December 07, 2008, 07:59:13 AM: 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.

Post by: Randy on December 07, 2008, 11:27:50 AM: 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.

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.

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

I was told I should stick to the bullethole I don't mind the bullet hole just sometimes shooting a rifle inside isn't that fun.So i've looked else where
Title: VooDoo69 And Others Interested in ENGC
Post by: Randy on December 11, 2008, 01:58:31 PM: You are repeating yourself.
I am now offering you a tour of the range and will gladly attend the new member orientation meeting with you and any others who are interested. Than you can make your decision based on a educated opinion, after the range visit and the range rules.
Just because you attend a new member orientation does not mean that you must join.

It is great to get outdoors with your favorite firearm and shoot some holes and or some big metal plates all the way out to 600 meters.
The BH is a mere 25yds..

Second of all re the secret handshake....let me guess: first elbow to elbow, then knuckles to knuckles, then fingers locked together for a thumb war, then 1 round of thumb war, followed by a high five...did I miss something in that mix? ;D

I don't recall that name ???, but I am terrible about that until I have met someone several times or they wear a name tag at the events. But if he is shooting registered trap in Lincoln, I am sure to have met him, and I will keep his name handy for the next shoot. I am hoping for another January thaw around that time 8)

I enjoy all facets of shooting, shotgun, rifle, and handguns. If I were to chooses one probably shooting sporting clays. But then again I have never tried any of the pistol matches.

I Also shoot at ENGC but have not joined yet. I'm also a Bullet Hole member, it is a great place to practice handgun. I hope to get to the Ike's for their Rock Your Glock shoots this year. Full disclosure, I am the CMP match director at WWGC and think we hold some good matches. C'mon out.

Range is pretty short, only 100 yds, unless you have the range to yourself, then you can stretch to 200 yds. We shoot pistol, mostly bowling pins, and benchrest, centerfire and rimfire. Our benchrest is pretty much sporter type rifles, no ARA or such. Once in a while someone gets a wild hair and we try something else, three position, rimfire silhouettes, cowboy action silhouettes.

On the north side of Lincoln there is a trap club. They are Lincoln Trap and Skeet (http://lincolntrapandskeet.com/).

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 (http://lincolnikes.org/) as others have suggested. The Izaak Walton club is southeast of Lincoln on Highway 2 near Bennet, NE.

Post by: Cathy1911 on August 16, 2009, 06:25:08 PM: 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.

How many of your fellow gun club members have you signed up ???
Title: Re: Who has a gun club membership- check in
Post by: armed and humorous on August 17, 2009, 05:28:39 PM: 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.

Post by: bkoenig on August 17, 2009, 08:49:24 PM: 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.

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!

Ron

We need as many new shooters as we can get. I understand screening members to make sure you're not going to get some idiot who'll do something unsafe, but their attitude makes no sense.

Post by: David Hineline on November 06, 2009, 12:51:05 AM: I am a member of the Hawkeye Rifle/Pistol club outside Sioux City, IA and an IDPA club in LeMars, IA.

Sadly most of my NFA shooting I get to do is in Iowa where it's not legal for most folks, but here in NE ranges like ENGC, Lincoln Ikes, Grand Island club, it's not allowed even though it's legal.

Go figure.

Post by: A-FIXER on November 06, 2009, 08:26:18 AM: I just don't understand the reason behind this the officers in charge are all shooters and the reason behind the allowing of the nfa cans if the state of ne say you can hunt with them. But I guess it will take involvement as an officer of the board to put it to a vote.... I would say it requires my input in these matters.

Post by: f1fanatic on May 01, 2010, 12:44:06 PM: I am a 2nd year member at Ikes. Great club and extremely close for me which is a huge benefit. I've shot at both ENGC and Weeping Water. ENGC is larger and more developed but Weeping Water is nice nonetheless. I guess its just whatever is closest. Bullethole is convenient and I need to go see the newly revamped Thunder Alley.

The ENGC has a membership meeting tomorrow evening at 6:45 (still trying to figure out the location). I'm planning to attend.

The Bullet Hole is convenient, but I'm not a big fan of indoor ranges.

Edit: Found the location for the ENGC meeting ... Tangier?s Shrine, 84th and Center Rd., Omaha, NE.

Post by: A-FIXER on July 20, 2010, 09:47:20 PM: UPDATE: From my last entry, at a afternew yr meeting I proposed the use of suppressors/cans to be allowed to be use and the majority of members voted an approval of use of legally filed can to be used at the Grand Island Rifle Club.... I posted this info somewhere on another topic me thinks but just incase thought I would post this for an informational update.

Welcome to the club!

Too much traveling and a girlfriend off school for the summer hasn't let me get out there as much as I have wanted...
