A few weeks back on the Shooting gallery Tv shop ,they did a story about the New CMP range in Tenn the Pres/Dir of CMP said they were planing to open another CMP range near OKC in the next few years . Does anyone know any details ?

“There is a need for hunters and shooters to have a location to hone their skills,” the application says.
The shooting facility being proposed would cover 358 fenced acres with an archery range, two rifle ranges, a pistol range, a sporting clay course, four skeet fields, three skeet or trap fields and four trap fields along with amenities like parking and restrooms. It would be open to the public and would play host to community trainings, hunter safety programs and other events. The projected cost for the first phase is about $415,000.
Future phases of the project would include a conservation center, nature trail, two sporting clay courses, a FITASC shooting competition parcours, 3-D archery and a pavilion with restrooms.
Brett Enmeir, a construction project manager at OSU’s Department of Long Range Facilities and Planning, said people had been talking about the project for about a year before it was approved and that he expected it to bring new opportunities to the Stillwater area, according to an article posted March 9, 2017 on Loyal & True, a website dedicated to OSU news.
Bids would be taken from private companies to operate the range under a lease agreement, Loyal & True reported.
“The plan is to bring in competitions for 4-H and other national organizations,” Enmeir said. “The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation would also make use of the range.”
