It was just to small to hold any significant size NSCA shoots.
Not really -- they hosted the state tournament a couple of years ago. Their problem recently has been a shortage of trap machines and turnover of staff.

HR isn't "closing." There will be a temporary hiatus if the high sheriff chooses a lessee other than the current one. They will have to sort through what assets belong to the sheriff & which ones are owned by the current tenant (Ron Duplessis). Basically the sheriff owns the land -- but I think there is some question about which fixed assets were sold to the sheriff (and which were retained by the former owner) when the land was sold.

Talk among the members is that a local landowner submitted a higher bid -- but it's not a "signed & sealed" deal yet.

Best guess is that it'll take 6-8 weeks to gear up (irrespective of who the lessee is).

Is the thought that it will open again to the public no matter who wins the lease?

I can say with absolute certainty that the "local landowners" bid was not the high bid. However, that was the one accepted by the sheriff. (against state bid law) Process invalidated. Angry eviction notice served.

They hosted State because about 4 years ago the club owners decided it wasn't fair for one club ( Cajun Elite) to host all the events ( main, prelims, subgauge, 5-stand, Fitasic) at one time. Places like Hunters run, and GOL aren't big enough to hold all the events. Once they started breaking it down and giving each club an event the LSCA went downhill. I've shot probably a 100 times at Hunters run. It's not big enough to be more than a little play Sporting course and a couple skeet fields. We had one of the nicest venues in the Country in Cajun Elite but Lynn and Phobe's kids ran it in the ground.
