Cheatham Range Will Close To Public Five Days In 2008 For Security Training

           
The Cheatham Wildlife Management Area Shooting Range will close for public use five days this year while local law enforcement agencies undergo Homeland Security Training on the site, according to the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency.

The training days are set for Thursdays stating this month and ending in late summer. Those dates are: March 27, April 24, May 22, August 28, and Sept. 25.

"Other than those days, the range will operate be the same as usual,” noted Randy Cromer, the manager of Cheatham WMA. “The Cheatham County Sherrif’s office requested to use the range and were given permission.”

The closure dates will also be listed in local businesses that sell daily range permits for the shooting range, noted Cromer.
