TL;DR: If you have never used a firearm before, or are wanting to learn to do so better, I can't recommend Big Shots enough. We had a large company retreat that brought in a significant number of employees from out of the country into Lincoln. Many of them expressed an interest in learning to shoot, given the unique opportunity to do so. As a result, we contacted Big Shots and asked if they could accommodate us. Not only did they handle the presumably rare situation of teaching 27 folks how to shoot, they did so with with both professionalism and enthusiasm which set my colleagues at ease, and gave them the confidence to both respect the weapons and enjoy the activity. It simply could not have gone better. Thanks Everyone!! read more

Two quick notes-- I am very new at target shooting. I just purchased my first handgun and decided to go to Big Shots. The clean, organized environment was a great surprise. How they approached someone who is new -- was also fantastic. I have gone back multiple times and plan to go back at least monthly Second-- I decided I needed a coaching lesson. They assigned me Taylor who spent a little over an hour working with me on my shooting and then addressing my concerns with my new gun. She was fantastic-- a great style, very understanding and supportive approach. So- I highly recommend Big Shots - and Taylor-- Steven B. read more

Safe clean fun environment however they don't air condition the range just a giant fan that blows even hotter air at you. read more

I first went to Big Shots a year ago and had a blast shooting. Everyone was real nice and their gun selection for rentals and sales was fantastic. They also carried 9mm for a fair price, which was a bonus. Visiting them today, I'm glad the excellent atmosphere hasn't changed. Micah and Brenden are great fellows and always happy to talk hobby with me. Great job, guys! All in all, Big Shots is a classic place in Lincoln, if you're a fan of guns. read more

Great place to shoot for beginners. Fun, professional, and welcoming staff. Selection of firearms was more limited than expected.

Joe. All i gotta say that man was very polite and very open to any of my dumb questions i ask and yet he was hella professional about it. The staff were also very helpful to my questions i asked. Might consider coming back with friends this time. read more

First actual shooting range I've ever been to, but this place was awesome. Clean, well-stocked in many different firearms. Lane rentals are 20 dollars an hour, and for a novice includes a handgun, ammo, earplugs or earmuffs, safety glasses, and paper targets. The staff were all very friendly and knowledgeable. Dayle, the older gentlemen, ran me through the basics of firearm operation (I'd only fired a pistol once before, and that was definitely without instruction). Everyone else was suitably strict with the rules, but still friendly. It was a great time. I went with some friends and rented a Beretta M9 9mm and a Springfield XDS .45, which were both fun to shoot. My hardcore shooter friends also brought their 5.56 AR15s, which were a blast. Did I mention they also have two corgis? read more

Took my husband here for a few hours of shooting and I must say I am impressed!!!! The store and range and very well maintained!!! Super well lit. The staff is super knowledgable and friendly always willing to help and show you around or make recommendations. You must watch a range safety video and sign a form before shooting which is good. Range master is on duty at all times on the range so safety is their number one concern!!! You can rent guns but you must buy ammunition from them for that weapon. Which is isn't a bad deal. Great range, amazing staff!! This place is a must for beginners or experienced shooters! They also offer classes!! read more

My wife and I went in just to look at handguns. I was happy that they let us try two out (paying for ammo and range time) and the knowledgeable staff were very helpful in explaining the differences. So far my family has bought three handguns and we have been very pleased with the service Big Shots provides. Also a very clean store and range. read more

I love Big Shots!! After shooting at the NRA range in Virginia I thought it couldn't get any better than that, but I think this place is actually nicer. The range is modern, clean and well-managed by the safety officers on staff. The staff members in the shooting range were helpful and I think they would be very courteous to someone new to shooting and needing guidance or instruction. In the main lobby we were impressed by wide variety of guns available to rent. The mandatory "safety video" -- required viewing for all first-time shooters -- was very well done and professional. This would be a great place for a date night and they offer that on Fridays. read more

I literally cannot say enough good things about the fine folks at Big Shots! Jim and Terri are excellent proprietors and from the friendliness and ability of their staff it is clear that they place a heavy emphasis on customer service. In addition to the range, their selection of firearms and accessories is superb. I've bought several guns from them and their prices are at least competitive with other stores in town if not the best, which they frequently are. Big Shots features league shooting, which I intend to get into someday, "date night", which sounds great except that my wife is not a firearms enthusiast, and modern, up-to-date facilities. They also have "ladies' nights", which I think is a great idea for females who like to shoot. I took my concealed carry class at Big Shots and was very impressed with the knowledge and ability of the instructors. If you like shooting and firearms this place has it all and then some, as well as the most knowledgeable and helpful people in the business. You can't go wrong at Big Shots! read more

I was traveling on business and decided to stop in a evaluate some guns for purchase and they were wonderful. They explained the features and functions on the guns I was looking at (they have a very large rental selection) knowing the entire time that I can not purchase from them. The place is clean and well lit with a friendly feel. I shot three guns at their range and they were helpful and instructive for me as a rookie. I also ended up coming back with a co-worker for another try. I wish they were local to me in California! read more

This is my first time here and it was a great experience!

Lincoln, Nebraska has a brand new indoor shooting and archery range called Big Shots. I was there for the first time & while I have only been to a few, it is by far the nicest I have ever experienced . New, spacious facilities, great equipment, a gun store, safety instruction and really nice people to deal with. Everything you could ask for & reasonably priced at $20/ hour. read more

This is how an indoor pistol range should be run. Range Safety Officers are on duty at all times. Shooters are given clear instruction as to which stall they are to shoot on. My only gripe is that they do not allow .308 Win on the weekends. I might be more understanding of this restriction if it also applied to .223 Rem. read more
