Alliance Rifle Club Fiebig Range

Alliance Rifle Club has operated continuously since May 1949, making it a stable institution for competitive shooters, hunters, and firearms enthusiasts across the Nebraska Panhandle. The club maintains NRA affiliation and operates as a non-profit corporation governed by elected officers and a board of directors.

Glen Fiebig Range opened in July 2007 on 27.44 acres purchased in May 2007, located eight miles east of Alliance on the south side of Highway 2. This range is open to all members and designed for practice, sight-in work, and shooting distances up to 200 yards. Recent upgrades include rebuilt berms at the 25-yard, 30-yard, and 100-yard lines, with benches usable to 200 yards.

Hoffland Range opened in 1985 and features a 1000-yard pit with covered firing line. Located about two miles east of the Fiebig Range, Hoffland primarily hosts organized club matches. The property includes the Erv Huber Memorial Forest, planted to honor his decades of range maintenance work.
