Places to Shoot.
« on: February 23, 2009, 03:52:15 AM »
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!

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.

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.

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

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
