ETRC has permission from the Roane Alliance to
use some 400 acres of mixed grass and woodlands for training.
Karen Edwards and Jim Pearce, who own adjoining land, have also
given permission for the use of their 1.1 acre deepwater pond
for water work. This pond is a large oval with a flat deepwater
entry at the dam, a shallow water entry at the opposite end, and
steep entries on both sides.
The Roane Regional Land is available for
organized training on any Saturday with advance notice. No live
ammunition may be used, and only bumpers or farm raised ducks
with proper identification may be used. Specific days for
organized training will be announced on the Events Calendar, via
e-mail or newsletter. Contact the ETRC Secretary to request
training dates or to volunteer to lead trianing:
