Turpin Outdoor Education Center

My son takes JOAD classes here. We also come to shoot outside of class. The staff welcomes him by name. They also provide kind feedback and encouragement to all shooters who visit. Jennifer is an excellent instructor.

The state of Nebraska has a beautiful indoor pistol range. However I am curious why we charge the Glock Sport Shooting Foundation members so much more for the GSSF match then anywhere have competed. Last weekend I shot 4 guns at Thunder Alley for $35. I can shoot 2 guns at the state range for $30. Bad math.

Fantastic clean facility and pleasant staff. My children enjoyed the indoor archery and gun range. My daughter is exploring archery as a sport and the staff even introduced her to camp options along with volunteer opportunities. Bert is a very knowledgeable firearms instructor with patience to be able to teach anyone. We will be returning soon.

Our family appreciates and respects the staff, activities and amenities at the NOEC. From taking time to help "refine" our skills withour youngest inexperienced kid to the expert man of the house, we have fun and learn a lot. We enjoy the bow activities both inside and at the outdoor range. Their archery and firearm rental is a great value.

Great place, very safe and thorough in their instructions. We've taken multiple archery classes, bb gun class, and taken an archery hike and shot targets in the woods. Great staff, patient and attentive.

This place is such a gem! My friends and I have taken pistol, rifle, and archery classes here. Always a rewarding experience and the instructors are nothing short of amazing. My favorite, however, is the outdoor archery range. Insanely affordable ($40/year), so peaceful, and it is now my happy place. 🏹

We went for the introduction to archery class. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and we had a nice time. Being animal lovers and non-hunters, we could have done without all the dead animal bits adorning the place. Hoping to find a place to enjoy archery as a sport without all the "Let's have fun going out and killing things!" vibe, though.

Due to COVID archery range was closed to 10 year olds or younger. This makes no sense as COVID can effect any age range. Dumb and arbitrary rules just like all COVID rules. Would not let adult go back with child so we couldnΓÇÖt do it.

Visited the Nebraska Outdoor Education Center recently for my first handgun experience. The facility itself is obviously newer and well maintained. During my visit, the entire staff (front desk and range safety officers) were extremely friendly and helpful. I was very nervous about this experience before going, but will absolutely be back thanks to the kind staff.

Our first visit was great. While I have experience with different handguns, it was my first time with a lever-action rifle. Terry (range officer) was very knowledgeable and offered quite a bit of help. My night would have been very tense because of unfamiliarity with the new weapon, but Terry helped out and made for a great night.
