Elkhorn Valley sportsman club

Elkhorn Valley Sportsman Club operates as a member-run trap and skeet facility built by the community, for the community. The club reorganized in 2009 after the original Wingfoot Sportsman Club lost its range, and rebuilt from the ground up on leased land three miles east of Norfolk.

This club was literally built by volunteer labor and equipment donations. In 2010, members like Kenny Porter and Steve Ganskow donated heavy equipment and hundreds of hours moving and leveling the 4.5-acre site. Matt Winkelbauer donated 20 truckloads of manure. That bootstrap mentality still runs the operation.

Club operates under strict ATA rules and requires all shooters to follow universal firearm safety standards: treat every gun as loaded, keep muzzles downrange, finger off trigger until ready, wear eye and ear protection, no alcohol or drugs on the premises.
