Zombies are preparing to invade Nebraska once again for the Zombies in the Heartland 3-Gun Match on June 2 to 5, at the Heartland Public Shooting Park in Grand Island, NE. Match registration has already opened and the few slots available are filling up fast.
With an unusual and challenging course of fire, Zombies in the Heartland typically attracts shooters from across the country. Competitors will find new and reactive targets developed specifically for this match, with most targets breaking, falling over or moving. Participants are required to compete with a pistol, rifle, and shotgun, or they can compete with pistol-caliber carbine and shotgun in the PCC Division.

Operated by the Grand Island Parks and Recreation Department, the Heartland Public Shooting Park is the largest and most complete public shooting facility in the Midwest. The facility hosts regional and national events, drawing shooters from across the globe.
