Howdy all. I'm moving to the greater Omaha region this summer and don't know much about the area. Any good shooting range suggestions?
Primarily pistol and out to 100yd rifle. Thanks and Cheers |

Eastern Nebraska gun club has out to 600 yard I believe. In door, 88 tactical, Omaha gun club, Take aim and Inner 10.
Across the river council Bluffs rifle and pistol out to 200 yards. |

There is also http://www.themarksmanindoorrange.com/ in Waterloo, just on the western outskirts of Omaha.
Never been there, but they tell me it's nice... |

Depends on the part of town. Take aim in Bellevue is great, as is the marksman in Waterloo for those of us in west O. Both are indoor though and not 100 yds.

Thanks for all the replies. Looks like there's a decent selection there.

Omaha Gun Club. I haven't been there yet but my dad stopped in and took a little tour. He was impressed and will go back to try it out.
For 100 yard outdoor your looking at Eastern Nebraska Gun Club |

Not a lot of product and I may be mistaken but last time I was there they didn't have an FFL. Bullet Hole: Skip Omaha Gun Club: New facility, from their FB pics looks like they converted a previous movie theater, so big plus there's a ton of space. They carry all the usual stuff, and they have a 50 yard indoor range as well as some cool rentals. They do all the typical intro classes, as well as CCW, and they do host some USPSA matches as well as a fun match during the week. I have not been to Inner 10 but I've heard good things about them from co-workers. Eastern Nebraska Gun Club: Extremely solid outdoor range, access to 600, 300, 100 and 50 yard ranges. I think they have 7 pistol bays and they are working on more right now. Membership entrance is 240 (120 Initial and 120 yearly) so if you shoot twice a month out there you'll get your value back compared to indoor prices. They host USPSA pistol and multi-gun matches there. I haven't been across the border to Iowa, but they've got some solid ranges and USPSA matches within 2 hours. |

Sorry for the bump, but as everyone else said, skip the Bullet Hole. Take aim is pretty decent, Bob (owner) is a great dude, Omaha Gun Club is pretty nice if you want an indoor 50 yard range.
Alternatively, you can always head down south bout half an hour and come shoot and drink beer at my place. I have a pistol range when crops are in and a rifle range when crops are out. I'm always down for meeting more arfcommers. |

Inner 10 was nice. 50 minutes range time, two targets, and eypro and earpro rental was right around $20

Did Take Aim close? I thought I saw a "For Lease" sign in front of it yesterday.
FWIW, I haven't visited a gun range yet. Need to fix that. Probably 88 or go with friends to Eastern Nebraska |

Would go there again, big +1 |

I just moved to Omaha in January and try to regularly go to the bowling pin and IDPA matches that are at Inner 10 on mondays. Really nice range and the owner is good guy. I haven't had the money to get a membership at Eastern Nebraska but from what I hear it's a pretty great range. In the mean time I've been trying to find a 100yd range to zero some rifles but they all require a membership. Anyone know of a public range that's around 100?

Just FYSA...
Take Aim has closed down (I don't know why, but I'm told personal reasons so take it for what you will). Athena Firearms has opened up in Take Aim's former building. I haven't been there yet, but it appears that they sell firearms as well. Has anyone been there yet? |

@kbad
@steelrain7557 Thanks for the thread and information. I was in Omaha this week and had some time. I went by Scheels, picked up some target ammo and headed over to 88 Tactical. Nice range, friendly people, no jumping through hoops. Spent an hour there shooting. I will go back next time I am in NE. |

The drive to Lincoln for DE Guns is worth it if you want to get a few hours in. They let us set up 25, 50, and 100 yard targets on the same 3 lanes to do transitions too. Add to that the most impressive gun store in Nebraska.
