Help me find ranges is the Council Bluffs, IA; Omaha, NE area

[LJ-MosinFreak-Buck]

Looking for some ranges in this area. I don't know of any, I was shooting on some public land, but some drunk teenagers ruined it for all and now it's illegal to shoot there.

I would go out on my Grandfathers farm...but other than that I have no idea, I haven't lived there since 1969...

Eastern Nebraska Gun Club in Louisville has a fantastic facility.

 

[LJ-MosinFreak-Buck]

How far is that from Omaha?

And if anyone in this area is looking for a shooting buddy, send me a pm.

ENGC is in Louisville. I think that's about 30 minutes or so from Omaha.

Weeping Water is a better range. http://www.weepingwatergunclub.com/

The one at Loiusville shoots down a hill--forcing you to stand up at the bench---not good.

That said---I usually do my plinking on state land--be sure to pick up your mess----and go to South Dakota for formal range time where my buddy has his own range on his land up there. He's got it up to 800 yds now.

If you were going to be closer to Grand Island, Hall County has the Heartland shooting range. Check out their website.

I guess perspective is everything. Being a member at Weeping Water and having been a guest at Eastern Nebraska Gun Club I would say ENGC is better. 600 yard range and target pit, much better for matches than Weeping Water.

 

[LJ-MosinFreak-Buck]

Yeah, there aren't very many places here to enjoy our sport. I improvise, but it doesn't always work.

(I just remembered I had this thread open, lol)

The Bullet Hole at 108th and Harrison is a good indoor range.

Haven't been there. How long is the range?

 

[mondodestructo]

bullet hole range

Not long at all. I would guess between 25 to 45 yards. I like it for pistols when I can't get outside in the winter.

I am a member of the ENGC and don't even come close to having to stand to shoot from the benches. I can't speak for Weeping Water as I've never been. As was stated earlier, if you join up or go as a guest to the ENGC you'll find there are three main ranges.....the main range goes from 50-600 yds (with 50-100-150-200-300-450-550-600 yds) ... the next range goes from 50-300 yds (with 50-100-200-300 yds) and then the 100 yd range (with 50-100 yds). All those ranges have overhead cover. There is also a trap range, and then the multiple pistol bays (with one of those having overhead cover). It is about a 30 minute drive south of Omaha, just outside of Louisville. http://www.engc.us will take you to the website and you can see an overhead view of the range....(overhead shows an incomplete 300 yd range with bulldozers and dirt, that is now finished)....

When it gets down to it. It really stinks around the Omaha area for practice shooting.

What kind of shooting are you planning? Pistol? Rifle?

 

[LJ-MosinFreak-Buck]

There really aren't that many places to go, which stinks. I do pistol and rifles, so I'm looking for a range that allows for both. I don't take just one firearm along, so that's a big issue there. My dad went to the bullethole once, and I guess you can shoot rifles there, too.
