To those shooters coming to my match in Huntsville on May 18-19. I suggest you make your hotel reservations now. Huntsville is a college town and headquarters of the Texas Dept of Criminal Justice,antique shopping town, and has a state park. Hotels rooms can be hard to get on weekends depending on events scheduled.
