New Nebraska member here.

Hey, new member since the switch over from scout.
I spend a lot of time lurking here on the reloading and rimfire sections. Great info! Hope to start contributing good info as my knowledge improves.

Lifelong hunter and outdoorsman and just getting into the competitive shooting this year.

Im a farmer by trade.

Current rifles im using the most are a short barrel factory rem700 .308 with in an MCS with badger bottom metal. And a cz455 trainer in an MCS T4

Im thinking of building a rifle in 6.5 saum or 6.5x47. The wind really bullys my .308 at the matches.

 

[Jack95g]

Thanks! Glad to be apart of it

Where do you shoot matches at?

 

[JOrisman]

Hey man, close to Omaha? I live in Omaha and wouldn’t mind going shooting with ya!

 

[Jack95g]

Where do you shoot matches at?

I went to two matches near Nehawka Nebraska and just attended a club .22nrl match near Aurora Nebraska

Im not unfortunately im in the Kearney area. I do make it over to that end of the State occasionally though!

 

[JOrisman]

If you are hit me up man! I’ll take you out shooting

 

[JOrisman]

Did you shoot the bighorn steel classic in nehawka? Chaz is a buddy of mine

 

[Jack95g]

I did shoot the Bighorn Steel Classic. Thats great. Chaz has been helpful(patient) with me getting into this sport.

Unfortunately I was in a car accident last week and wont be able to shoot for a while. Ill be in a back brace for some fractured vertebrae for 8 weeks so that will slow things down. Im still hoping to get to some matches this summer and hoping i can do some practice with my rimfire sooner rather than later.

 

[Scopes]

Dang dude, Hope you have a speedy recovery! Do you guys know of any small local matches in Nebraska? Ive never shot prs but want to try it.

 

[Jack95g]

Crooked Creek Gun club near Aurora has monthly NRL.22 matches. I attended one that was a really good time.

 

[Scopes]

Thanks for the info!

 

[Jack95g]

Also there is a monthly match starting up out near York Nebraska. Ill look up the name of the FB page and pist it here

My fault the match i was thinking of is starting up near Lexington NE. Not York.

The closest thing i know of to a monthly match nearer to Lincoln is the 22 match near Aurora NE.

 

[Jack95g]

Check the event calander at https://www.1kplus.com/

Thats the range where they are starting to do more matches out near Lexington NE

 

[Yoteski]

You guys out east check out our 308 vs 402 match. I think it will be a blast!
April 22nd is our next large club match in Broken Bow. Should be a great time.

I still wont be healthy enough to shoot but if you could use an RO let me know. I have RO'd for one prs style match but am still fairly new to the sport so an opportunity to learn by being an RO would be awesome.

Resurrecting an old thread. Any of you 'Huskers still active on here?

 

[PinesAndProjectiles]

Yes, but I'm no longer in Nebraska. Home called and I moved North.

I'm in Lincoln. I'm a member at the Ikes range, nothing spectacular but a place to shoot. Hoping to find some places to stretch it out more though.

 

[pitspitr]

I've shot at Ike's. It's a nice place. I've shot at ENGC, Valparaiso and Weeping Water too, but I mostly shoot on my own land or out of state.

My daughter and family used to live at Bennet and my son and family live in Douglas. If you hold up a map of the state and put your finger right in the center, you won't miss me by very far

"Baby Ruth," It's a shame I missed you.

 

[godofthunder]

ENGC is nice as well, I live right by Ikes/Bennet so it's a no brainer to me. I hunt with a buddy occasionally right by Douglas. Originally from NP and used to have access to some awesome places to shoot but that's long gone unfortunately.

Welcome from Kansas

 

[pitspitr]

Thanks Josh

I mostly shoot here:
Grand Muster Aerial Video (cascity.com)
The video is a different discipline, but one can shoot out to a mile here too.

Is the 308 vs 402 match still a thing? If so is it always in Broken Bow?
