I am new to this forum and haven't seen this discussed. If it has I am sorry. I live in Omaha, and am looking for places to take my guns and be able to shoot them. I know of the Bullet Hole, which is an indoor range. Are there any other indoor ranges, or any outside places to go to? Thanks in advance for any replies I get to this!

We could got to Jay's backyard again, bring some burgers.........

I'm game, I need to redeem myself! ;D

That sounds fun.......since I really did not get to participate last time due to my "domestic duty injury" >:(

For crying out loud, quit complaining! Even with fresh stitches in your hand you still kicked my butt!

Go to ENGCINC.ORG for a virtual tour of the Eastern Nebraska Gun Club. One time $125.00 initiation fee and $125.00 per year membership. 5 hand gun ranges, trap range, 50 meter range, 100 meter range, 600 yard range which is broken down to 50, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, and the 600. A new 300 meter range will be completed this summer.

I think he may redeem himself with the new 1911's. Maybe..... ;)

Oh, there is no doubt in my mind I will choke. :'(
Anyways, sorry to hijack this thread. :-[
There are links on the front page to Eastern Nebraska Gun Club, and the Weeping Water gun club.
Also, I have never been there, but I remember a thread a year or so ago on ccwne.com I think, about a public place just outside of Nebraska City. I'll try to go back and find it later when I have more time and post a link.

Did a quick search and the place outside of Neb. City is Hamburg Bend. Here's a link to the discussion on ccwne.com:

I was working in that area today and dropped in for an hour on the way home. Brought some trash back with me also!

Hamburg Bend i a nice place. Too bad some of the users dont clean up after them selves. When my son and I go down we bring back more than we took with us.
-
Does anyone have a list of places to shoot for the Northeast Nebraska?
-
Try to contact member David Hineline as he is from that part of the State
-
The Hawkey rifle and pistol club is in Sioux City, IA area, There is a range in Beemer, NE
-
Thanks for the two sites. Now to check em out.
-
Does anybody know where to find a listing of WMA's? My usual shooting spot, Bassway Strip WMA by Minden is apparently out of commission for the time being due to bridge repairs. I've checked a few others I know of, but they are all posted "No target shooting". I've tried the state website, but I can't get any solid info.
-
You can go to the Nebraska Game and Parks web site to look at the list of WMA's or pick up a hunting guide and look at the list in the back.

I'm new to this site also. I'm in Omaha... I've been shooting at Bullet Hole a bunch, it's fun, but my AR15 needs some longer range targets to "stretch its legs" a little... 25 yards gets kinda boring after awhile. There any good places around here? I was thinking about applying for the ENGC but it is a tad on the expensive side for how often I shoot. Any help would be appreciated. :)
-
Hey names Ry, I live in Bellevue and I have a bunch of guns lying around collecting dust, so i need a place to shoot them. I've heard the bullet hole is a good place, but im not goin to pay the ridiculous prices just to shoot there for an hour or so.
Ive read in here that you guys are shooting at a place called Hamburg Bend. Sounds like a great place to shoot! I cant seem to get directions to get there though. Does anyone have detailed directions to get to this place?
Thanks
~Ry

Try going south out of Nebraska City on Hwy 75 ..... I can't remember if it is County Road P or N that you follow east down to the river....... google it...... should turn up a map.

It is a State Wildlife Management Area just south of the Nebraska City power plant.Take Hwy 75 south of Nebraska City and turn left at the OPPD power plant sign. Follow that road acroos some railroad tracks to a T. You will bw able to go straight or turn right. If you go straigt it is a narrow road that leads to a parking area and a place to shoot.There is a sign at the innesection but hard to read. If you turn right go about 1 mile south to another t and turn left. This is the south entrance and there is a place to park and shoot as well.*lease clean up after yourself when done so we dont loose this area.

is there any guns not allowed? like is there a rifle "too big" or is it shotguns only?
-
I haven't shot there , but I know that groups are firing 5.56 ammo out there and probably .308 too

and is it free? or whats the cost?
-
Free state wildlife management area. Just clean up your trash when you are done
-
Sounds cool... I still haven't found a good outdoor range. I keep looking at ENGC and Weeping Water Gunclub. Anyone members of either that can say which is nice club? I think I'm about equidistant from both... I live very close to Oakview mall.
-
Cool! thanks fellas for the directions! Maybe this weekend ill get out and see if i can find it. :P
-
Krylancelo,
ENGC and weeping water are both nice ranges but ENGC has a better facility all together with a variety of ranges. It would be closer to you as well if you are by Oakview. If there is a match at WW the range is pretty much shut down for it. At ENGC they usually have a few other ranges to shoot at if there is a match at another one.
I know it has been beat to death already, but if anybody chooses to shoot at Hamburg Bend or any other outdoor property, PICK UP your TRASH! This can't be said enough.

If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem: pick up the trash you find, even if it ain't yours.
-
Hamberg Bend is free. As far as I know you can shoot anything you want just no tracers. As others have said clean up when finished. My son and I try to leave it better than when we got there. We will be going down on Monday if anybody wants to meet up. Probably gat there around 11am.
-
I'm horrible with directions. I'll have to dedicate a day to try and find these places. That or one of you fine gentleman will have to hold my hand and show me where to go. ::)
-
Well came out to Hamburg bend earlier this afternoon. Awesome place to shoot, got to let my rifles stretch a bit. The place was very easy to find and not to far from me. Saw a family that was out shooting as well, nice people. Also had an officer stop in on us, he hung out with me and my fam a bit, very nice guy and he even told us he wants to see us out there shooting again!
thanks for the directions guys!
(also came back a bit of trash that other morons seemed to have discarded! >:(

-
Glad you found it ok. I go to The Bullet Hole quite a bit but when my son and I both can make our schedules work thats where we go.We have even driven further south on those roads just because. That whole area is pretty nice. One of these times might even have to do some hiking in there.
-
I'm in Omaha as well, I went down to Hamburg Bend though on Labor day in the afternoon. Nice and quiet, took home more brass than I went with.
-
Thanks for the info guys, I was looking for a nice free outdoor place to shoot.
I never leave trash anywhere (except in my car). :)

Google maps or Mapquest is awesome, it's 6 miles south of Nebraska City, according to an earlier poster, so not a bad drive for me. Apparently this is the spot my neighbor was talking about. :)
-
For those that like looking at it on a map, this is the route I drove there and the parking lot. Shot about 25 feet from the parking lot on one side of the berm going south.
