I just recently moved to Fremont, and am in need of a place to go shooting. Is there anyplace close by to shoot handgun and rifle?
I'm used to being back in Iowa where I had two free public ranges within a 30 minute drive plus plenty of farmland.
Any help would be great. Thanks.

What part of the state are you in?
Lincoln has Seasons Choice (indoor), Izaak Walton Club (outdoor), and the public parks has a range (indoor) which is only open a couple days a week (?) and they only allow up to .38.
Omaha has the Bullet Hole.

Here is a search feature on the Ne Game and Parks website to search for shooting ranges of all sorts.

Looks like there is a range in Uehling, about 20 miles north of Fremont that has a 100 yard rifle range. Not seeing anything for pistols.
There is also a range in Arlington, just into Washington county a few miles east of Fremont.

Thanks for that website. I should be able to find what I need on there.
One more question. On WMA's that allow target shooting, are clay bird ok or not? My wife and I enjoy shooting clays, but not sure we want to join a club yet and just wondering if its ok on WMA's.

Lincoln Parks and Rec has closed and sold their indoor pistol range

Lincoln Parks and Rec has closed and sold their indoor pistol range
Hmmm...didn't know that. I haven't been there for a while since I've been shooting 9mm or larger. Who did they sell it to, and will it be a range or something else?

Land was sold , for a housing development in the flood plain no less. There was quite a stink about it in the Lincoln political scene.
Parks and Rec may be adding a small bore 25 meter indoor range to the indoor archery range plans it has for Boosalis Park
For now the air rifle classes are being held at Easterday Rec Center. My nephew just received the sharpshooter pin in a recent class

I spoke with the Lincoln indoor range owner/operator today. He said that he doesn't worry too much about competition because "Casady won't let another range open up". Not sure how true that is or how much control Casady has regarding new ranges, but I don't doubt he would put up any road blocks he could.

My bad. Guess that speed reading course didn't work out as well as I thought. ;D

Eastern Nebraska Gun Club is awesome. It is by Lousiville, NE. It is about an hour from Fremont, but well worth it! We have a 600 yd rifle range, a trap area, a 100 yd range, and a great pistol area with 8 bays (I think). There is also construction going on to add more ranges. We also have many matches there throughout the month and you don't have to be a member to shoot the matches! Check it out! http://www.engc.us/

The twice a year membership induction is kind of a bummer. I don?t mind going, but if they did it once a quarter it would be more convenient for prospective members. :)
Do they ever have open shooters days or ?members bring a friend? days?

ENGC has quarterly membership meetings.
A member can bring a guest for a small fee and yes the guest may shoot.
