Title: Shooting
Post by: bigmountainskiercfg on May 25, 2012, 11:12:01 PM: I just bought a new scope for my 22.250 and would like to go sight it in. I have not found a public range that will allow a 22.250 because of how fast it shoots. Anywhere I can go to sight it in? Fields? anything?

Its just east of Louisville Nebraska a few miles and has ranges from pistol to 100yrd, 300yrd, and 600yrd rifle ranges. They usually have an open "Hunters Sight In" day once or twice a year. I'll see if I can find the next date for you.

ENGC also as a quarterly membership day where you can join and then go out whenever you like. I'm on my second year with them and am out there usually about 2 weekends a month. I find the membership fee well worth it at $120/yr.

They said they would email me and let me know. I talked to one in council bluffs by crescent and that is my next option just not as nice of facility. Thanks for the info, I also found the sight in dates but those are not until oct. nov. I'd definitely like to shoot long before that.

I was talking with Gary, he said there is also a waiting list on their range too. Seems hard to find places to shoot here in the midwest.
