A City of Omaha shooting range is on its way to securing a liquor license.

The Omaha City Council voted 7-0 Tuesday to approve the license for the Harry A. Koch Trap & Skeet Range, located in Seymour Smith Park near 68th and Harrison Streets.

Officials said the facility plans to serve only beer, and only in designated clubhouse and patio areas. Alcohol would be available only to people who were not shooting or had finished shooting, and would not be served during youth competitions.

“If anybody has had a drink, they will not be shooting,” Parks Director Brook Bench told the council.

If the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission signs off on the license, the range would be one of a handful of shooting ranges in the state that can serve alcohol. Others are in Papillion, Tekamah and Burchard.
