The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission will be hosting a public meeting April 12 in Wellfleet, Nebraska to seek public input on improvements to the Cedar Valley WMA in southeastern Lincoln County that will make it easier for hunters to sight in their rifles and target shoot.

Public target shooting already is allowed on a northeastern portion of the WMA. The proposed facility will provide hunters with two benches for 100 yard sight-in as well as two benches for a small target shooting range.

The proposed range will be built using 75% federal funding from the excise tax on the sale of firearms and ammunition. These funds are provided to the states through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for conservation, including hunter education and shooting sports recreation with the remaining 25% match from a private grant.
