Cheatham WMA Firing Range

why does everyone have a problem with a free place to go shoot safely. there are 1000 private ranges. as far as I see it. the hours are fine. you can sight your rifle in and then leave. then hunt. if you wanna shoot all day go spend all your money anywhere. anyone who has a issue with the hours. why don't you volunteer your time

Govt run ineptitude at its finest! Only open 4 hours a day! Covid was 5 years ago you morons! Also, the no steel targets rule is more stupidity! Shooting hanging steel targets is both fun AND safe!

Hours are a joke

Good little range to shoot at longest distance is only around 100 yards though. It is self managed which is a benefit because you don't have to deal with over instruction and that nonsense just make sure to follow the basics of gun safety and if you see someone just standing there waiting to place a target call the range cold for them. The hours of operation are kind of garbage 10am to 2am is kind of a joke it limits the amount people with day jobs can shoot there. So I would rate this range as a mid tier range. Pros: Not usually crowded Self-manage ( Not reliant on a RSO ) Trash cans ( sometimes free targets and such ) Pavilion style shelter ( rain is less of a issue ) Cons: Hours of operation (10am - 2pm) will get ticketed Shortish range Day pass needed Although its not super crowded it is somewhat hard to get a bench to shoot off of. In closing TWRA could do so much better with this range but it seems that they don't really care to improve on it which is honestly fine id prefer it stay the way it is instead of becoming a unenjoyable experience. if you wanna shoot this is a good place to fire off some mags

It's a really nice place to shoot pistols and rifles. It is a smaller place but was not very crowded. It is a little bit off the beaten path, but for me, it was worth the drive. Bring your own targets and stands, and please be respectful of what is there so we can keep it!

Whorable place especially when the Sadie's come out there they can't control there firearms while operating, there's some guy out there that's seems like he's offering training when he him self needs training never teach or point or revolver down cold range. Make sure you have a extra set of eye's because his class of people will obliterate your target from 5 lanes down. Used to be great spot but sadly this range has gone the way of joe biden.

I'm just echoing what everyone else has said... The hours are silly. I used to shoot here a few years ago when it closed at sunset, but had condensed hours during hunting season. It's never been much to look at, but I absolutely love having a range that's never busy and isn't being managed by over zealous staff. This place was a hidden gem. 10am-2pm daily... Who came up with this? It's an unattended outdoor range. It's not as though staff needs to close to get their kids from daycare. Noise? There's nothing out there. Every time I think I've seen the low point of Cheatham County's lack of hospitality and common sense, they set the bar just a little bit lower and surprise me. A tip of the hat county officials... A tip of the hat. Also, can we all just enjoy the sign made for the gun range, presumably by people that should know something about guns, features an outstanding typo in which they prohibit "fully automated" weapons, then fixed said typo with a Sharpie? A third tip of my hat.
