Asking for a friend....Where to shoot in North Central Nebraska?

[effendude]

A friend from Bismark, ND wants to meet a customer from Oklahoma City, OK somewhere about half way to close a deal on a custom rifle. Are there any ranges where the public can shoot some longer distances in that area? They are open to any suggestions. Both are travelling part way to complete the deal.
Thanks,
Scott

They might try calling Hornady. Surely as many
shooters as they have there, maybe someone will
help LDS

I am a member of the Omaha/ Louisville Eastern Nebraska Gun Club and would be happy to take them ( gratis ) to my range. Tulsa is approx 460 miles from Omaha Omaha to Bismark is 600 miles. Let me know if I can help.

ENGC runs F class MR on the third Saturday of the month. The NE State championship is booked solid for 8/22 but if schedule permits the matches are open to the public so depending on the timing you could shoot a match in September or October.

The other option is heartland park in Grand Island NE, a bit closer to 50/50 for both drivers and it is a public range and has 600 yards. I haven't shot there so best to call first.

If you want 1000 yards then you really only have alliance, NE which is about 7.5 hours for each driver. They run F class up there as well but bring your lunch for the potential wind.

There are several guys that shoot at both on here so I assume someone will chime in.

Let us know potential dates and someone should be able to help out.

Why do people limit themselves to "ranges "? I've never even been to one? If you don't know a private land owner, shoot on public land! Set targets up from point blank to a couple miles or whatever you want! If I spent my time looking for a range I'd never get to shoot. If that's what you are into then super, but man there's a whole big world out there. I forgot, I was at one range, thought it was restrictive, won't hurry back. If you can't find a place to shoot call me, my dad still lives in that very area, he won't care! Cheers!!!

I didn't see where anyone said they were limiting themselves. All the ranges mentioned hold matches of various discipline that are chosen to compete. It isn't all about just shooting for load development.
No way you can hold the type of shoots that done at the ranges on private land.
