Places to Stay      
(and things todo)
The TSTA has two shoots annually at The Nashville Gun Club (Tennessee Clay Target Complex) in Nashville TN.  There are many great places to stay and many things to do while in Nashville.

Our State shoot in June is normally scheduled about (+or-) the same time as the CMA Music Festival.  It is important to make your reservations as soon as you can, as some places sell out.
