went and got my permit for woodcock today, paid the 40 beans and i'd have to say (other than the $100 for my license) that was probably the best $40 i ever gave this city....
be nice if they had later hours since i work 9-5 M-F... be nice to head over after work and punch some holes in some paper...
got a bit of a burn and a touch of sun poisoning at the pistol range, i'll know better the next weekend i go...
which will likely be next weekend
now i just need to save my pennies for a few rifles....

The one thing that really bothers me about Woodcock Rd ( dont get me wrong its still a great range).. is that on regular intervals you can have what I can only describe as legitimate gang bangers coming to the range to shoot. I have packed my stuff up there more than once because I was simply afraid to spend time looking down range over watching over my back. Not a bad place, just being public, sometimes you got to see who else is there and maybe make another trip another day.

Thinking of joining here for a cheap place to shoot. What do you need to bring with you for targets, etc.? Are there target stands and such provided? The hours are a bit of a downer, but it's cheap enough to work until I can get a membership somewhere with an indoor range.

I haven't been there in years but I remember you could rent target stands
Paper targets are available to purchase in the clubhouse or you can bring your own, you need to rent the target stand (I think it's $1). You can bring 1 guest one time, then that guest is supposed to join if they want to come again.
Your best bet would be to search NES, most Google searches will bring you back here. It used go out to 500 yards, I was there a last year and it's maintained out to about 200. Which is a shame really as there isn't to many long ranges in southern NE.
