It is with great sadness that I have to advise the
membership of the passing of former National President, and
Life Registered Shooter, Mr. Bill Jones. Bill passed away on
the 7th October aged 70. Bill chaired the Finance
Committee for over a decade and should be remembered as
the man responsible for bringing commonsense and foresight
to this position. The current strong financial position of the
ACTA is doubtlessly due in no small way to Bill’s forward
planning and persistence over the period he chaired the
Finance Committee. Bill went on to become National
President before retiring due to illness.
Bill was a great personal friend and mentor to many of us and I can only hope that
we, who follow Bill, can make as much of our lives as Bill did. He has left us all a
great legacy. I extend our condolences to Bill’s wife Wendy, his 3 daughters and 7
grandchildren.
The current situation regarding the position of National Coaching Director remains
unclear. A conciliation hearing before Fair Work Australia reached no agreement
and subsequently a full hearing before the commission was scheduled. The claimant
then withdrew this action only to lodge another at the same time. This subsequent
action was then scheduled for a hearing, and then postponed on the same day we
received advice of the action. This may all seem very confusing, but I really don’t
know how else to explain the current situation to you.
The National office has received some correspondence and telephone calls regarding the discontinuation of the Club only membership category. This category was
originally begun as an incentive to keep old and long serving members as part of our
Association after they had finished their competitive involvement within the sport.
The maximum allowed in any club was 10% of total membership. Many clubs totally
disregarded the intent of this and had more than 20% of their membership in this
class. It should be obvious to all that this situation could not be allowed to continue.
The first meeting of the ISSF Development Committee was held at Wagga on
Monday the 24th of October and was attended by local members of Parliament,
Daryl Maguire and Michael McCormack, ACTA Patron Kay Hull, Russell Mark,
Don Johnson, Peter Adams, Director of Commerce and Economic Development,
Wagga Wagga City Council, and myself. The committee tasked with design,
funding and construction of International standard ISSF facilities at the National
Ground, had a very fruitful meeting. One of the outcomes from the meeting is a visit
and inspection of the National Ground by The Hon. Graham Annersley MP, NSW
Minister for Sport, to take place Friday the 28th October.
It is hoped that the committee will be able to achieve their goals to allow
construction to begin in late 2012.

AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS – DECEMBER 2011
Executive Officer’s Report
With membership renewal comes the
obvious question of what are we paying for.
As could be expected some phone calls and
emails have been received by the office asking
why memberships have gone up, why some
categories of membership have changed and
what money is spent on. Whilst the financial
statement is placed in the magazine prior to
the AGM each year I will indicate some of the
main items of expenditure which are necessary
to keep the Association running and working for the benefit of shooters
and the sport.
A major cost incurred is the operation of the National Office. Staff
carry out the duties of maintaining membership records, processing
memberships, managing handicap changes, maintaining the National
Grounds, organising Championships and their related activities,
preparing and editing the magazine as well as handling numerous
enquiries. There is also the day to day management of a large business,
which the Association is. In the previous year we have had a number
of developments on the National Grounds as well as completion of the
purchase of the grounds from the Wagga Wagga City Council. The
Staff also provide support to the Executive and members in relation
to the administration of the sport as well as the Executives functions.
Another major cost is the production of the CTSN. This is produced
monthly and delivered to members. The quality of the magazine has
improved over the last few years due to the efforts of the production
staff at Ironbark Graphics, office staff and the articles and information
provided by members. The last week of type setting is always a hive of
activity to fit articles in, find a suitable and relevant photo for the cover
and to get the print files to the printer on time. The Association, as you
are aware, provides insurance for all Clubs and members during the
approved activities of Clubs and information is available on the website
about this.
The Association is lucky to have experienced and dedicated staff who
ensure that our operation runs smoothly with very few hiccups for an
Association which has 13,000 shooters, 267 clubs and 7 States as
members.
As mentioned in the president’s report the ISSF working party has had
its first meeting and it was very exciting to see the enthusiasm of the
members in seeing the benefits to the sport of shooting as well as the
Wagga Wagga region. An additional ISSF facility on the East Coast will
help the sport to grow and provide greater training opportunities for our
young members who aspire to International competition
As this is the December magazine I wish you all the best wishes for
Christmas and hope to see many of you in the New Year.

WACTA
2011 State
Trap Carnival
October 1st and 2nd, 2011
The WACTA 2011 State Trap
Carnival was this year crammed
into an action-packed two days
over October 1st and 2nd. The
trap carnival is routinely held
over the Queens Birthday long
weekend, but the Queen threw
a spanner in the works when she
decided to hold a Commonwealth
Heads of Government meeting
in Perth in late October. So, her
birthday weekend changed and
consequently the WACTA State
Trap Carnival was a two day
OA State HG winners Gary Kelly Open, Fraser Prowse Junior, Mike Daden Veteran & Carol Betteridge Lady
affair for this year only. As usual,
the carnival was held at the magnificent facilities at the
Queenslander, Carol
Betteridge, also with
Whiteman Park International Shooting Complex. A big
thanks must go to the kind members of WAGC for allowing the only 50. Jaymon
Dunnet continued
WACTA to run the carnival on their grounds and thankyou
his fantastic rise in
to their members that helped.
shooting by taking out
The Saturday started off splendidly well with good weather and 134
shooters nominating. The State 25 Pair Double Rise was the first event
on the programme. Nothing like starting off with a bang, bang. 48 was
the magical score to get in the shoot off for overall. Phil House from
the Bunbury Club won this from Neil Suckling and Jason Oliveri, who
then took first and second in AA Grade. Matt Shipp won first place in
A Grade. Paul Lange started off his successful carnival by placing first
in B Grade. Terri-Anne Hale shot an impressive 36/50 to take out first
in C grade. The State Double Rise Veteran’s Title was awarded to Mike
Daden. Deb Norrish from Narrogin won the Ladies title. Fraser Prowse
took the Juniors title.
Once everyone had found a reason for why they missed targets in the
Double Rise, it was time for the Zone Teams Shoulder to Shoulder
event. With some excellent teams on paper, this was always going to
be hotly contested. The Midwest Zone shot fantastically well to win
with a score of 125/125 (371/375). The team comprised of Gary
Kelly, Tim Blakeney, Alan Hocking, Michael Boschetti and Jim
Chandler.
Saturday afternoon played host to the State 50 Double Barrel Event.
The beautiful weather and strong contingent of shooters made sure
there were many possibles shot. After the 200 mark in the shoot off
there were 4 shooters left standing WA shooters, Sam West, Gary
Kelly, Regan Vodden and the ‘Eastern Stater’ Sox Pilipasidis. Regan
and Sam dropped out leaving the epic tussle going between Sox and
Gary. However, it was not to be too much more epic, as Sox missed
one 8 targets after Sam West dropped out, which left Gary Kelly to be
named as the WACTA Double Barrel Champion for 2011 with a score
of 226/226. Sox and Sam finished first and second respectively in
AA. Regan absolutely flogged the fellow A graders to take that crown.
Michael Moffatt won the B grade shoot off and took first with a score
of 83/84. C grade was won convincingly by Barry Putman 47/50. The
Veterans was won by Tim Catling with the only 50. Ladies was won by
the Junior Division
with a score of
69/70. The WA State
Junior Double Barrel
Champion, which is
different to the Junior
State Title, was won
by Michelle Boase
from Eastern Goldfields. Roy Alexander
(Himself) has
Gary OA State DB with sponsor John
generously sponsored
Dyas
of Pine Haulers
this trophy for many
years and it awards
the top 3 junior shooters in the double barrel event. Declan Foley and
Jaymon Dunnet finished second and third respectively.
Sunday morning greeted shooters with some overcast conditions and
fantastic targets. The State 50 Single Barrel Title was the first event
for the day. Four shooters shot the possible Gary Kelly, Tim Blakeney,
David Fox and Elliot Harris. The shoot off lasted 29 targets and saw
Gary Kelly claim his second state title for the weekend. This left
Blakeney, Harris and Fox to collect first, second and third in
AA grade. Glen O’Brien was the winner in A grade. Paul Lange
continued his good form in B grade and won with a score of 49/50.
Barry Putman again shot well in C grade and claimed first. Veterans
winner was Neale Johnson. Carol Betteridge again won the Ladies
division. Narrogin’s Connor Baker was rewarded for a well shot 47
taking the Juniors Sash. This also saw Connor win the WA State Junior
Single Barrel Shane Williams Champion Trophy.
The nerves were high leading into the State 50 Target Points Score
Event, as this is one that can make or break a position in the State

This meant
Jaymon Dunnet & Michelle Boase
that Gary
Kelly had won the three major state titles Double Barrel, Single Barrel
and Points Score. Tim Blakeny had again shot well by coming in with
149/150 and this resulted in a shoot off with Amaro Da Luz for places
in AA. Blakeney won in the end, with Da Luz second and Roycey Boy
Normington finishing third in AA. Bert Boschetti won in A grade with
a one point win over his good mate Glen O’Brien. Paul Lange notably
finished third, this was his first event in this grade. Stuart Johnson
continued the Geraldton dominance in this event, by taking out first in
B grade. Barry Putman again finished first in C grade. Veterans winner
was Bert Boschetti. Ladies went to Carol Betteridge. Juniors was again
awarded to Jaymon Dunnet.
To conclude the carnival was of course the State Teams Match. Many
new faces were shooting for the first time, although the nerves were
just as great as from the old timers amongst them. Gary Kelly
continued his amazing weekend by taking out the Open Team High
Gun and cementing his place at top of the list for the Open Team.
Roger Bevan High Gunned the Veteran’s Team. Deb Norrish was the
Ladies Team High Gun winner. Fraser Prowse, in his first year in
the Junior team, managed to win the Junior Team High Gun. The
teams finished in the following order:
Open: Gary Kelly, David Fox, Lars Bager, Jason Oliveri, Ttrevor Morris,
Neil Suckling, Amaro Da Luz, Royce Normington, Richard Keach,
Jimmy Hamilton, Tim Blakeney, Glen O’Brien, Anthony Burnard, Dave

Best of luck to the travelling teams for 2012.
Inevitably after an awesome weekend of shooting, Gary Kelly was
awarded with the WACTA State Trap Carnival High Gun (sponsored
by Jim West). The Junior Trap High Gun went to Fraser Prowse
(sponsored by David Fox). Winchester were very generous in their
sponsorship of the trap carnival and sponsored both the Veterans Trap
High Gun Mike Daden, and the Ladies Trap High Gun Carol
Betteridge. Graded High Guns were awarded to Neil Suckling (AA),
Matt Shipp (A), Paul Lange (B) and Barry Putman (C).
Winchester also sponsored the High Gun trophies for the combined
Trap and Skeet High Guns. Overall was awarded to David Fox, who
has made both the travelling state teams for trap and skeet. The Ladies
Trap and Skeet High Gun went to Denise Page and the Veterans
Trophy was awarded to Bob Benjamin.
For the first time this year, WACTA awarded a ‘Combined WACTA
High Gun’ in which scores from the Sporting Clays, Skeet and Trap
State Carnivals are combined. Terry Marsden has been instrumental in
introducing this much coveted trophy and has been very generous in
sponsoring it for the next ten years. David Fox was announced as the
inaugural winner of this trophy.
David Fox also won the WACTA Sportsperson of the Year award which
recognises the fantastic achievements David has made over the last
year in shooting.
The Pine Hauliers Junior Postal High Gun competition gained
momentum this year with many entries being received. Narrogin’s
Connor Baker won it for the second year running, and Michelle Boase
claimed second prize.
The Katanning Bullet was won by team Geraldton with a fantastic
score of 1210. The team comprised of Gary Kelly, Tim Blakeney, Alan
Hocking, Glen O’Brien and Amarao Da Luz.
Some excellent breaks were achieved over the weekend with Gary Kelly
claiming his 450 break, Regan Vodden 250, Terry Maloney 200, David
Dickson 150 and Travis Adams 100.
Special mention must again be given to our extremely generous and
loyal sponsors Pine Hauliers, Winchester Australia, Roy Alexander
(Himself), Spartan White Flyer, Jim West, Terry Marsden, Mark
Normington and David Fox. Thank you all.
The WACTA 2011 State Trap Carnival was deemed a great success
a huge thankyou to Denise Page, WACTA Secretary who worked
tirelessly to ensure the weekend ran smoothly. Thanks also to everyone
else in the shooting community who helped make the carnival such
a success.
Michael Diamond wins
Gold at ISSF World Cup
Men’s Trap Final
Australian
marksman
Michael
Diamond beat Italy’s Rodolfo Vigano
at the shoot off, after a head to head
duel throughout the final round.
The Australian champion finished on top
of the podium with an overall score of 142
(119+23) hits, after beating Italy’s Vigano in
a shoot off for Gold by 4 to 3 hits.
Michael, 39, had qualified for this match by
winning a Silver medal at this year’s ISSF
World Cup Stage in Maribor. Michael had
already won three ISSF World Cup Finals, in
his career, in 1997, 2000 and 2009.
The World Cup Final Silver medal went
to Rodolfo Vigano, a 40-year old shooter
who finished in second with 142 (119+23)
hits, after losing the final shoot off against
Michael Diamond. He was followed by the
second Italian finalist, world record holder
Massimo Fabbrizi, 34, who ended up in third
with a total score of 140 (119+21 hits) after missing his very last target.
2011 World Championships
Australia sent a team of 16 shotgun shooters to the 2011
ISSF World Championships in Belgrade, Serbia.
The event ran from September 5-13 with five events contested over
the six layouts that also held the European Championships earlier
in the year.
19 year-old Kelly Coogan was the standout performer for the Australian
team, winning the bronze medal in the junior women’s trap.
Kelly finished on a total of 68 targets from 75 in the three 25-target
rounds to tie with two other shooters for second place, sending the
event into a shoot off for silver and bronze. Kelly, who grew up in
Cairns but now resides in Darwin, was guaranteed a medal after the
Italian shooter missed her second target, before Turkey won the silver
medal after Kelly missed her fifth target. Kelly summed it up saying she
was wrapped with her performance “It was more than I had expected
heading into the event today but I just came in and did my best and am
really excited with the bronze medal.” “I was pretty nervous in the shoot
off, but despite missing a couple of targets, I am still really happy with
the overall result.”
Catherine Skinner finished fifth in the women’s trap in what turned
into a tight tussle with Indian Shagun Chowdhary for the Olympic
quota place.
Catherine tied with India’s Shagun Chowdhary in the final, but because
the Victorian was the first of the two athletes to miss a target in the
final, India won the one quota place on offer for the 2012 London

Olympic Games. Catherine recorded a total of 72
targets in qualifying for
the six-person final in a
five way tie for second,
before shooting 17 targets
in the final, while China’s
Yingzi Liu equalled the
world record in winning
the gold medal with a
score of 96.
Skinner also combined
with fellow team members Suzy Balogh (Sydney, NSW) and Laetisha
Scanlan (Berwick, VIC) to finish fourth in the women’s trap team event.
Balogh scored a total of 69 targets, while Scanlan finished on 68, with
the Australian team combining to score 209, just two targets shy of
China in the bronze medal position.
In other results Lauryn Mark ended with a total of 68 targets from a
possible 75 in the women’s skeet, with 72 being the score required to
make a shoot off for the final. Australia’s number one ranked women’s
skeet shooter finished 25th overall, with her last round of 25 providing
a good confidence boost for the 31 year old who finished fourth at the
2004 Athens Olympic Games.
Adam Vella and Michael Diamond both finished the five rounds of
competition in the men’s trap on a score of 121 from 125, with 122
making a shoot off for the six-person final. Michael entered the final
day of the men’s trap on 74 targets from 75 and shot a perfect 25 in his
fourth round, before hitting 22 targets in his final round.
Overall the Australian team shot four performance qualifying scores
across the week-long event and will now have their sights set on the
Oceania Championships at the end of November.

VALERIY
TIMOKHIN
National Shotgun Coach,
Australian International Shooting Limited
By: Sunita Miranda, Digital Media Manager, AISL
From humble beginnings in Azerbaijan Republic to International merit in Shotgun Shooting, Valeriy Timokhin has
established a successful career in coaching young achievers.
Valeriy Timokhin was born on 15thApril 1959, in the small city of
Shakhti, 200km south of Moscow. When he was about two years old
his family moved to Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan Republic, where
Valeriy lived until 1997. Valeriy graduated in 1984 from Azerbaijan State
University, with a degree in Physical Culture and Sports.
Valeriy the shooter
Valeriy began shooting when he was 14 years old. He recounts, “The
Shooting club was just 15 minutes’ walk from my home, and I could
hear the shooters as they trained. My older brother was the first to begin
trap shooting, and after a year of accompanying him at training, he
encouraged me to take up the sport.”
“We did not have enough of cartridges at that time, so my practice was
limited to just five to eight shots. That didn’t deter me in my pursuit of
the sport and I continued to attend every possible practice session.”
Valeriy’s first coach was a woman, Raisa Bagdasarova, a many-time
Champion of the USSR. After four years of competing, Valeriy won the
Junior Championship of USSR and was invited to the National team of
USSR as a Junior.
“That was big achievement for me, and I was very proud,” Valeriy said.

Adam Vella & Verily Timokhin at the World Cup Final Beijing 2010
“After that, I represented the USSR in many European and World
competitions. I was a winner at the Junior World Championship, and
went on to earn a few medals at European Championships, World
Championships, World Cups and World Cup Finals.”
Valeriy has been a World Record Holder twice – in 1989 (223out225)
and in 1995 (124out of 125). In 2000, he was one of the five athletes in
Azerbaijan Republic to have received the coveted ‘Best Athlete of the
Century’ title. During his time as a competitor, Valeriy has participated
in three Olympic Games, but has unfortunately never been a medallist.
Valeriy the coach
Valeriy began his coaching career in 1997, in Lebanon, where he coached
the Lebanese team in the lead up to the Arabic Games. The leader board
saw Lebanon win Silver in Skeet individual and Silver in the Team
event.
Valeriy was then invited by the Kuwait Shooting Federation to coach the
Kuwaiti Skeet team until the Sydney 2000 Olympics.
“During this period the Kuwaiti skeet team won a Bronze team medal at
the World Championship, and were absolute leaders in most Arabic and
Asian competitions. Skeet shooter Abdulla Al Rashidi won two World
Championships in a row in the individual event, while other Kuwaiti
shooters won several medals in the World Cups and World Cup Finals.
“From 2000 till 2004 I was coaching the Qatari Skeet team, which also
earned many high achievements, including a Gold (individual) and Gold
(team) at Asian Games 2002, and many medals in Asian and Arabic
competitions. In Athens 2004, Skeet shooter Naser Al-Attiya took Fourth
place in the Skeet event.”
Valeriy on Australia
Valeriy immigrated to Australia in 2005, along with his wife Tatyana
and daughter Kristina. He began working with Australian International
Shooting Limited in 2006, just before the Commonwealth Games in
Melbourne.
“Ever since I began coaching in Australia, my goal has been to prepare
a new generation of shooters to take on a future place in the National
team, following the likes of Michael Diamond, Russell Mark, Adam
Vella, and so on.
“After a few years of work, we are now seeing younger talent rising.
These young shooters are already achieving good results and are at
the top of AISL’s Ranking, as they continue to achieve medals at
International events.”
Valeriy’s commitment to the shooting sports is undeniable. He believes
that a shooter should practise with 100 per cent preparation for each
target, while being mindful of resources – mainly time and money.
“While in competition, a shooter should fight until the last target,
without being distracted or affected by the score already achieved,”
Valeriy said.

BENDIGO – MARYBOROUGH
Sporting Challenge
With the increasing interest in ACTA Sporting within
Central Victoria it was decided that a Sporting challenge might be a good idea. A unique perpetual trophy
with Maryborugh winning, the 6 point win was nowhere near
enough to win the aggregate.
This year, a second place trophy was donated to the competition,
which is in essence presented to the looser. This trophy
takes the form of a garden spade and is aptly inscribed
“You Dug Your Own Hole”.

was built featuring two wooden clay targets with the
badges of both Bendigo and Maryborough engraved
into the centre of each target. In the second year since
its inception, Bendigo again managed to retain this
much sought after trophy.
The competition is shot in September, one round at each club
over a total of 150 targets, with the 5 best scores to count at
each venue. At Bendigo, the Maryborough team, to say the least,
performed badly and even though the reciprocal round ended

Bill Jones
It is with sadness that we advise that
our friend & long serving member &
administrator, Bill Jones passed away
on 7 October, after his long battle
with cancer.
Bill had been a member of the ACTA
for 42 years, joining in October, 1969.
Accolades were common for Bill,
given his achievements within our
sport, winning many major championships, & obtaining membership
in both Macintosh & State Teams
many times.
In addition, Bill admirably represented his Club within the NSW
Southern Zone, & achieved the ultimate recognition of his peers by
being elected to the office of NSW State President for several terms &
that of our National President for the years 2003 to 2007.
Bill’s contributions to the sport were also formally recognised, when he
awarded the status of ACTA Life Registered Shooter at the National Trap
Championships in Roma in 2009.
We have lost a great friend, who was a mentor & coach to many, & his
involvement with the National junior coaching camps will be missed.
Our thoughts are with his wife, Wendy, & their family at this
difficult time.
Rest in peace Bill.
NSWCTA Executive Committee
William Henry (Bill) Jones
Passed away peacefully on 7 October 2011.
Bill was a driving influence in the foundation of Illawarra Gun Club,
now known as Illawarra Clay Target Club. He was a life member of the
club and President for 22 years.
He will be sadly missed by all our members.
The club extends their condolences to his wife Wendy and family.

Warren Brettschneider
Shooters from the Central Zone and further afield were saddened to
hear of the passing of West Wyalong Life Member and keen supporter
Warren Brettschneider on the 15 July after a long illness.
Warren, born in Lake Cargelligo on the 15 March 1965, was a typical
farm boy, introduced to shooting at a very young age. His younger
years were spent with his parents Geoff and Pat on a farm called
“Broterony” between Lake Cargelligo and Condobolin, as a youngster
he would have seen lots of clay
target shooting at Lake, Condo,
Tullibigeal and even West Wyalong
in its infancy.
Later, moving to Forbes with his
parents, Warren joined the Parkes
Club in 1980 and shot regularly,
winning his first trophy at Dorrigo
soon after.
For health reasons, Warren had to
leave the shot guns alone in 1990,
and then began shooting small
bore, quite successfully.
16
AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS – DECEMBER 2011
It was while he was shooting small bore that Warren became very active
in the West Wyalong Clay Target Club. He made himself available for
any working bee and was an enormous help in the club house and
kitchen on shoot days.
He made lots of friends amongst visiting and local shooters and over the
years built up a large collection of badges, patches and nick nacks, which
would be on display at shoots.
One thing Warren will be remembered for was his punctuality. If lunch
was to start at 12:00 he would be tapping his watch to make a start.
3:30 on the dot he would be shuffling cups and eats for smoko, never a
minute or two late.
The honour of Life Membership was given to Warren in 1999, for his
contribution to the West Wyalong Gun Club. He never lost interest in
his friends or the atmosphere of shooting sports until his passing.
Shooters from far and wide formed a large guard of honour at the
cemetery as a showing of the regard in which he was held.

DIGITAL ARCHIVING
We have now managed to have on the website, searchable copies of basically all issues of CTSN from 1949 to 1990 and we are continuing to work
on the issues after that date to bring all copies online sometime in 2012
To check out the new digital archive of our CTSN and to test its search
facility you should go to our website www.claytarget.com.au. Near the
top of the web page you will see a list of links: HOME – EVENTS –
RESULTS – CTSN – MEMBERSHIP etc. Click on CTSN and that will take
you to a page that shows two choices: 1 SEARCH and 2 DOWNLOAD.
Check out both if you wish, but I like the download option. Once you
select this you will see a page that has a line of decades along the top,
select the decade, the year and the issue that you wish to search.
Click on the file and the PDF will then stream into your web browser.
You will then be able to search and or save the file for later reference.
To utilise the search facility you will need to find the search facility in
Acrobat reader. If you are on a Mackintosh computer you will most
likely see an icon in the menu bar that will appear as a pair of binoculars, if this is not easily visible simply hit the the “command + f” keys
together and it will open a box that will allow you to type in the search
reference you require. If you are using a Windows computer and cannot
find the binocular search icon simply hit the “alt + f” keys together and
type in your search requirement.
Remember, this archive is a work in progress and cannot be completed
until we have copies of all the CTSN issues.

2011 Victorian State ISSF Carnival
The Double Trap Final is underway
They say Melbourne is famous for its “all four seasons in
one day” weather and on October 7-9 it was no different
for the 2011 Victorian State ISSF Carnival conducted at
Melbourne Gun Club in Lilydale.
After much negotiation getting the green light from AISL to be a PQS
event, entries were well up on the previous 2 years with shooters travelling from all over Australia to compete. A total of 5 PQS scores were
recorded over the weekend showing that Melbourne Gun Club is the
place to shoot if you want to shoot good scores.
This was the first year this event has been pre nominations and all
seemed to work smoothly. With a total of 83 individual competitors
entered over the weekend in their respective events it would have been
near impossible to start on time without pre nominations.
STATE DOUBLE TRAP
A total of 18 shooters had entered in the State Double Trap event held
on Friday the 7th of October in muggy overcast conditions but without
a breath of wind.
Round 1 saw Steve Haberman out of the blocks with a blistering 48 to
have a 1 target lead from Russell Mark on a 47 and Craig Trembath a 46.
Scores from all shooters were up and down for the remaining 2 rounds.
The final saw Russell Mark 135, Steve Haberman & Nick Kirley 133,
Craig Trembath 130, Marc Crimmins 118 and Daniel White on 113.
The final came right down to the wire with Steve Haberman and Russell
Mark tied for the Overall and a shoot off required. A further 3 pair saw
Steve Haberman as the victor.
Laetisha Scanlan 3rd, Stacy Roiall 1st & Suzy Balogh 2nd in Womens Trap
Olympian Stacy Roiall got off to a great start posting 24 in her opening
round. She went on to shoot further rounds of 23 and 24 to lead into
the final with a 71 and a PQS. 1 target behind her also with a PQS
was 2004 Athens Gold Medallist Suzy Balogh on 70, Laetisha Scanlan
& Catherine Skinner on 68, Michelle Beecham 65 & Rohanna Abberton
on 63 rounded out the top 6.
A great final of 21 saw Stacy too good and win by a commanding 6
targets. A shoot off for 2nd and 3rd was held between Laetisha and Suzy
with Suzy coming out on top.
In the Junior section Melbourne Gun Club member Geoff Aston held off
the rest of the field to record a victory with 109/150.
Winners Overall Stacy Roiall 92/100,
2nd Suzy Balogh 92/106, 3rd Laetisha

STATE MENS SKEET
A total of 9 shooters competed in the Men’s Skeet which saw some very
good shooting indeed. Clive Barton got out of the blocks nice and early
smashing the first 50. A 23 in his last round however saw him tied on
day 1 with 3 other shooters. Paul Adams, Keith Ferguson and Anthony
Sottosanti also all recording 73/75.
Day 2 and the cold dark windy conditions made things tough on the
skeet range. Clive just held on for his PQS with a well shot 121/125.
Queensland youngster Paul Adams just missing out with a 120 was next
in line. The big mover from day 1 was David Cunningham who showed
the younger guys just how it’s done missing his very last target to shoot
74/75 for the day to be next into the final on 118 with Anthony Sottosanti
and Keith Ferguson. David Douglas took out the 6th spot with 116.
A round of 24 in the final saw Clive hold on by 1 target from Paul Adams
to claim the 2011 Victorian State ISSF Skeet Title.
Winners were Overall Clive Barton 145/150, AA Grade Paul Adams

This concluded the 2011 Victorian ISSF Carnival which was one of the
more successful in recent times.
A few thank you’s required firstly to the official referees for the event
which were required for the shoot to have PQS status Judith Kent, Ian
Urch, Vince Mollica & Peter Wray who all worked tirelessly and between
them all officiated in every squad for the weekend, a huge effort.
The Melbourne Gun Club committee for all the work in preparing the
grounds and targets, changing traps etc. in ensuring a well ran carnival.
Craig Henwood for taking all the pre noms for the event and Inge Esplin
& Jean Wray who made sure all ran to plan in the office. A big thank you
to all who helped.
We hope to again have PQS status on this event next year and look
forward to seeing you all again in 2012.

his very last target to record an excellent 49/50. Nathan McDonnell &

Turner on 47.
Day 2 and Adam handled the tough conditions brilliantly to record
rounds of 24, 25, 24 to finish with a score of 122/125 and another PQS.
He lead his closest rival in Brett Dunstan by 5 targets on 117. The remaining 4 finalists were all on 115 they being Josh Collard, Daniel DiPietro,
Jeff Tonna and Nathan McDonell.
A slight hiccup in the final saw Adam miss his first 3 targets but regroup
to finish with a score of 21 and win yet another Victorian State Title.

Psychological Skills
for Shooting
Michael Kruger-Davis
MOTIVATION
Motivated shooters achieve.
How do we know someone is motivated?
They act like it. According to Burton &
Raedeke (2008), Motivation is reflected by
three behaviours:
Choice: Motivation shows in the choices athletes make regarding
setting goals, practising, off field training, mental rehearsal, etc.
Effort: Motivation is also reflected in how much effort the athlete or
shooter gives – how intensely they train, complete strive to achieve
their goals.
Persistence: Motivation levels can be seen in how long athletes
persist in striving to attain their goals, especially in the face of
adversity and obstacles.
Achievement goal theory suggests that two major goal perspectives
operate in an achievement context such as sport: a task orientation
and an ego orientation. Put simply, a task orientation implies that
one participates in an activity for its own intrinsic properties. The
enjoyment of the game, the way we feel when we smoke the target,
or catch a great wave, or sink a tricky putt. There is a great inner
sense of satisfaction when we do well or when we have achieved a
personal best. Ego orientation (or outcome goal orientation) on the
other hand has participants striving to demonstrate superior ability
compared to everyone else or avoiding the demonstration of incompetence. Both these orientations are within all of us. For most part,
ego orientation can get in the way of us achieving our best. Because
we are focusing on ourselves as opposed to the task we tend to let
our mind drift back to the past (where we can formulate judgements
about past performances or about our ability). Ego orientation also
lets us think about the future (where we can develop anxieties and
worries about failure or discredit). A good way to deal with goal
orientation during the competition is to focus on the process (the
task: shooting the target) and let the product (the score, the trophy)
look after itself.
For most people the idea of motivation involves the last minute,
pre-game pep talk, where the coach gets the team aroused and motivated. This idea needs to be discarded. The proper time to work on
sustaining motivation is outside the competition.
Change your thinking: It is important that only your successes go
into your long-term memory. There is no need to remember past
failures.
Get involved: Autonomy directly improves motivation, and the
greatest contributor to autonomy is having some control or input
into the decisions that affect you. You should feel some ownership of
the training rules, competition choices, and strategy decisions.
Praise others: You will not be able to see the positive and exciting
aspects of your performance, if you can’t see the positives and
exciting things of others. Delight in someone else achieving a
personal best or winning the event. Also you will develop a sense
of connectedness when you have an awareness of the contributions
others make.
Put yourself first: As human beings, we are least productive when we
are distracted by conflicting basic drives. By this I mean that you
cannot perform well if you are hungry, dehydrated or tired. Make
sure you eat properly, stay hydrated and get enough rest.
Find motivated peers: Both on and off the tracks spend time with
people who want to accomplish great things, and aren’t afraid to
talk about it or get excited about your dreams and vision. Effective
support is vital for motivation.
It is also important to avoid those “motivational black holes”; those
people who are negative, critical, and focus on the distractions and
what cannot be achieved.
Think Positively: There is always a conversation going on in your
head, it is usually subconscious. If you start paying it conscious
attention, then make sure it is positive and focuses on what you
can do. Don’t get hung up on difficulties, distractions and losses.
If a negative thought appears, acknowledge it, but ask yourself will
it help you achieve your goals? If not discard it for a more positive
thought.
Remember your Dream: Spend time frequently reconnecting with the
real reason you are competing. Don’t be disheartened by losing or
failure. Just learn from the experience.
To sum up several aspects regarding motivation are important.
Firstly, motivation starts with a sense of purpose. Remember that
intrinsic, process orientated motivation is preferred to extrinsic,
goal orientated motivation. Secondly, does the athlete see a difference between just beating his opponents and making personal best
performances. Next, with respect to team sports, are the team
members focused on what the team can achieve or are they
concerned with their own individual performances. Finally, work
out what values are important for the athlete, and frame feedback
to mirror these values.
References:
What are the long-term motivational strategies? John Eliot, writing
in The Sports Psych Handbook, argues that motivation strategies
should foster autonomy, competence and connectedness. It is
interesting to note that these qualities are also inherent in mental
toughness and resilience.
D. Burton & T. Raedeke, (2008) Sport Psychology for Coaches. Human
Kinetics.
Push the Edge: Find your weakness and get excited about where
your game will be after you change it. Using mental rehearsal and
visualization techniques can speed up the process of changing your
weaknesses into strengths.

CD as word files. These are available for $25.00 (which includes GST and

order to me at the address below.
Experience success: Use mastery learning techniques to acquire new
skills. By this I mean break-up the process into smaller, easier steps
and do not move on until you have mastered the pre-requisite skill.
It is important to keep a journal of your performances so that you
know when you are more successful.

Annual day/night
at Boorowa
Saturday 24th September, saw Boorowa Gun Club host its
annual day/night shoot.
A 9 o’clock start saw shooters arrive nice and early. Unusual for Boorowa,
the weather gods provided near perfect conditions. The grounds looked
immaculate, thanks largely to the efforts of club secretary, Garry Martin.
Local blokes manned the BBQ and a plentiful supply of cakes/slices
were all at the ready. The day was set for the 50 shooters in attendance
to give it their best.
The first event was a 50T Double
Barrel (sponsored by South West
Shooting Supplies). Surprisingly
there was not a possible scored
amongst the AA Grade shooters
attending. However, there was
a squad of possibles from A & B
Grade. Local shooter & club man,
Merv Campbell ended up taking
home the sash for this event with
a score of 96/96. The AA Grade
boys ended up putting up quite
a fight with the eventual winner
being Glen Barton with a score of
214/215, with Matt Harris getting
2nd with 213/215. A Grade was
taken by Boorowa regulars, with
Giulio Serafin on 95/96, from
Mal Campbell 67/68. Bega visitor,
DB winner Merv Campbell
Phil Body took B Grade with
61/62 from Ray Schiller on 49/50.
Tim Rapley shot well to take C Grade with a score of 46/50 from Don
Constable on 45/50.
30T Handicap (sponsored by MG Campbell Silos) was the second event.
There was some very impressive shooting to determine the winner of
this event. Third place was taken out by Bob Walters with 31/32, which
then saw a dual between Don Constable on 15M and Glen Barton on
25M. This shoot off went for quite some time and with a score of 72/72
the eventual winner was Don Constable, with Glen Barton scoring an
impressive 71/72 off 25M. Well shot boys.
The third event of the ‘day’ program was 30T Single Barrel (sponsored
by Peta & David at Boorowa IGA). Giulio Serafin, who was having a
very good day, ended up taking out the Overall honours with a score of
32/32. 1st AA Grade went to Trent Jamieson on 31/32, with Glen Barton
taking 2nd with 29/30. Wendy Barton was the winner of A Grade on
29/30, with George Kazolis on 27/30 taking home 2nd. B Grade went
to more locals with Roger Warren 28/30, from Steve Burrows on 25/30.
1st in C Grade went to Robert Verrath with 28/30 from Tim Rapley with
27/30.
With the day program complete the BBQ was then fired up again and
an enjoyable evening meal of steak & salad (a generous variety of salads
coming from club members) was all that was needed to fill in the break
in readiness for the night event.
New lights, which had recently been installed, were a great improvement
and shooting soon got under way in the 30T Points Sore (sponsored by
Nioa Trading). The Overall winner of this event went to Boorowa Gun
Club’s dedicated President, Guy Evans with a score of 96/96. Young
visitor Jason Owen, travelling from Narromine, took 1st AA Grade
with 95/96 from Glen Barton 89/90. 1st in A Grade was split between
Steve Schiller and Graham Jamieson with 82/90. B Grade went to Matt
Corkhill with 89/90 from BJ Campbell 86/90. Don Constable finished
OA HG & Night PS winner Guy Evans with Greg Coleman
off strong with 1st in C Grade with
86/93 from Amy Jenner 83/93.
The Overall High Gun (sponsored by
Beretta Australia) went to Guy Evans
with a very good score 198/200.
Ladies High Gun (sponsored by G
Wales & Company) was won by Kate
Schiller 179/200.
Boorowa Gun Club would like to
thank ALL the sponsors for their
generous support. A BIG thankyou to
those who helped on the day, many
hands make light work is very true
and your efforts are much appreciated. We would also like to thank the
shooters for their cooperation on the
day and for their attendance and look
forward to seeing them (plus more)
back again. Good shooting.

he grounds were in magnificent condition as the
campers began arriving on the Monday prior to the
shoot. Thursday bought a storm accompanied with
hail and heavy rain yielding 50 mm.
Friday was again calm and sunny. 143 shooters registered and competition was underway by 8am Saturday. As the morning progressed
the weather deteriorated and the competitors were soon weary due to
walking through the wet and muddy conditions accompanied by cold.
The scores reflected the conditions and the members who set up the
field were disappointed not to have seen a possible registered. The event
was the 100 target Vic Eather Memorial sponsored by Engal Australia
with scores reaching 87/100 recorded by Max Holland from Mudgee.
AA grade shoot off between Steve Atkins Nowra and Andrew Garvie
Singleton with Steve prevailing after 22 targets and Andrew taking
out AA 2nd. Shooters presented Sunday morning, being aware of the
daylight saving time change and the cold conditions to roar away with
much better scores and Steve Atkins achieving a clear round of 25 on
the bottom layout. This layout featured 4 targets on the rabbit station
and 3 targets on the Rodger Beaton Teal Trap. We thank Rodger for the
demonstration of this trap as it added a new feature to this round. As the
competition drew to a close and the scores were all registered no shoot
off was required and the presentations commenced rewarding these
shooters for their efforts.

The Squire reports from West Wyalong
The September winds had been blowing regularly and
strongly and there was no change as the three squads of
shooters readied themselves for the 11.00am start at the
West Wyalong Clay Target Club monthly shoot.
In a day where there were one hundred continental targets on offer the
wind made it an interesting exercise for Clive Foster and his helpers to
set the traps. The high targets got higher when hit by the strong gusts
of wind then to make things even more difficult the targets often gave
a jump of about one metre. And to say nothing of the vicious low left
hand swinger that clipped the top of the grass when it got a strong blast
of wind across its surface.
The general consensus was that it was likely that anyone shooting
a possible in the 50 target events would be a winner and that it was
unlikely that a back marker would walk away with the hundred bucks
in the handicap event.
Such are the joys of clay target shooting in windy conditions!
The first event was 50 Targets Double Barrel Continental and the pundits
were correct as there were no possibles but Matt Schiller and Wayne
Ambrose shot very well with 49/50. Only two shoot offs were required
to decide places Matt and Wayne for overall and Adrian Hodges and
Kelvin Maxwell for second in B Grade.
Matt and Wayne shot an extra 19 targets before Wayne missed letting
Matt into Overall but Kelvin missed his first target in the B Grade shoot
off! Winner in AA Grade was Clive Foster 48/50 from Dozer Collins
46/50 who was second, Wayne Ambrose 49/50 won A Grade while Don
Turner 44/50 claimed second position, Narelle Ambrose 44/50 shot very
competently to comfortably win B Grade from Adrian Hodges 41/50,
Sue Turner 31/50 won C Grade.
Fifty targets Continental Points Score in the next event was really testing
things but Michael Fyfe, who must have found his map and made his
return to West Wyalong showed his absence had not hurt his shooting
and he returned 144/150 to be the Overall winner. State junior rep Matt
Schiller 140/150 won AA Grade from Dozer Collins 138/150, Don Turner
142/150 shot consistently to turn the tables on Wayne Ambrose 128/150
in taking out A Grade, Narelle Ambrose 128/150 did not let the wind
deter her ability to win B Grade with Adrian Hodges 119/150 claiming
second, Geoff Brettschneider battled with the trying conditions all day
and was the top Veteran with his score of 111/150.
The 25 Target One Hundred Dollar Handicap did not look like a good
event for back markers but Matt Schiller proved everyone wrong when
he claimed third prize money 21/26, Don Turner shooting of 21 metres
breathed a sigh of relief in second place 21/25. It was young James
Turner 22/25 who put it all together and there was a huge smile on his
face as he walked away from the trap layout to collect the spoils.
Matt Schiller claimed High Gun on the day with a creditable score of
209/225.

For their September shoot the Mathoura Gun Club’s
main event was a Victorian North East Zone, Tower
Double Rise Championship.
2012 BLUE BOOK
Three shooters managed to shoot the same score resulting in a
five pair shoot off to decide an Overall Winner. Bendigo member,
Phil Stowe, Walmer member, Graham Hall, and Darwin shooter,
Karl Schroeter, with Phil Stowe standing tall to collect the Overall
Winners Sash and 1st in A grade trophy with an end score of
29/40. There was no C grade participant for this event, and Karl
Schroeter picked up the 1st in B grade trophy with his end score
of 26/40.
There will be no more staples or glue holding it together (we all know
how difficult it was to hold these books open on a page). We have opted
for the stylish and practical spiral binding that many other states are
using. Team this with a new front cover design and we have a wonderful
new looking shoot program for our state.
These scores may seem low for a Double Rise Tower event, but
as it was shot under lights, in very poor weather conditions, the
end results were actually quite reasonable. The 1st event was an
eye opener for the main event, being a five pair Tower Double
Rise, Cash Divide. No shooter could nail all ten targets, but Laurie
Fitzpatrick (Euroa) and Harry O’Connor (Mathoura) managed to
shoot an 8 out of ten score, and that gave them a share each of the
1st place cash dividend.
Event Three was a 10 target Double Barrel Cash Divide, and Laurie
Fitzpatrick and Ricky Kierl were the two shooters that managed to
break all ten targets, and they shared the 1st place cash dividend.
The shoot ran smoothly for the entire evening, and all the
travellers were thanked for making the effort to attend, with Anne
Stowe winning the raffle held by the ladies.

For the 2012 Blue Book we have given it a facelift and have made a few

With these upgrades we have also had to increase the cost, they will now
retail for $5 per book.

Echuca Clay Target Club
October 2011
RAY McKENZIE MEMORIAL
Sunday the 9th of October saw
eleven full squads of shooters
arrive at the Echuca Clay Target
Club to participate in the Ray
McKenzie Memorial Shoot, held
to remember, respectfully, the
life, and especially the shooting
achievements, of the clubs now past
member, Ray McKenzie. Ray, who
resided in Kyabram, was instrumental in helping to relocate
the gun club to its present site, and the building of the clubhouse and other fixtures. Ray shot in the “Grand American”,
and also won the Overall Points Score Champion, Sash,
twice, at the Australian Nationals, as well on numerous
occasions shot in the Mackintosh Team. Ray was a very
loved and respected person by all members of the Echuca
Clay Target Club.
Val McKenzie with Echuca Club President Ron Traill
Almost seventy shooters was
considered a very good roll up, considering the cold, wet, and windy
weather that greeted everyone on
Sunday morning. And amongst the
competitors were some that were
not ACTA registered members,
so the club’s committee decided
to have sashes and trophies for
“Visitor” status shooters as well,
and one Kyabram resident made
a clean up of all the Visitor wins,
and that was Glen Rathbone, well
shot Glen!
The club thanks Val McKenzie,
along with members of her family,
and Barry and Mark Rogers, not
only for their attendance and
sponsorship of the shoot, but also
Glen Rathbone, “Visitor” OA
for their active participation on the
day, they and some of Ray’s friends even entered squads of shooters in
some of the events.
The first event was Tongala shooter, Steve Atkins’, favourite discipline, a Double Rise Championship, and Steve made sure he won it by
shooting a 49/50 score. Dropping just one target in double rise, on a very
ordinary weather day, just made it too hard for any one else to match,
so Steve collected the Overall winner’s sash for the 25 pair Double
Rise Championship, and at the presentations, Steve, after offering
everyone some of his shooting exploits with Ray in a speech, gave the
sash to Val McKenzie as a keepsake of the day. Good shooting and a
nice thought Steve!
Event Two was a 50 target Points Score Championship. After a short
shoot off of only seven targets, Deniliquin member, Tim Maher, stood
tall, scoring an unbeaten 171/171, which earned him the Overall Winners
Sash, and rifle, as the Overall Winners trophy. Echuca member, Warrick
Kelvy, who pushed Tim all the way, after having to use a second barrel in
the shoot off, had to settle for 2nd in AA Grade, 170/171.
Finally, event three, a 50 target Double Barrel Championship, and
starting with eight shooters who shot all 50 targets, the shoot off
soon whittled it down to a battle between Hay NSW member, Brian
Doyle, and Echuca’s Steve Traill. On the 94th target Steve Traill shot

his, marking the end of the shoot
off, Brian missed his, giving the
Overall Winners Sash and the
1st in AA grade trophy to Steve.
Brian, unfortunately, having to
settle for 2nd in AA grade.
An Overall High Gun award was
on offer for the days shoot, which
included a Sash, and a very nice
canteen of cutlery as a prize, and
Steve Atkins put his hand out for
that, shooting a higher overall
score than any other shooter.
Congratulations Steve on shooting
a 246/250 score on such a day, an
outstanding performance.

October 2011
October Monday Sporting Classic
CPCTC welcomed all shooters from Sydney and travellers
from outer Sydney for this unique event. The weather was
good as there was thankfully no rain with little overcast
weather on the day.
Cecil Park does not usually close 7 out of the 11 available ranges for a
sporting event, so as it was a long weekend with Monday being a public
holiday, we took the opportunity to have a sporting event and with that
in mind we would like to thank Vince and the committee for allowing
this unique event to go forward, also would like to thank Krys Baczek for
making sure all the traps and buttons were functional and also Vivien in
the kitchen for looking after the shooters on the day.
Reno Morganti was the shoot marshal and set the range up with help
from Dave Abeni, Nino Gaggioli and myself (Leo Pezzano) in the office.
We had 3 rounds of 33, 33 and 34 which made up a 100tgt event with
5 shooters going into a 25tgt sporting clays final, we shot the event
over 7 layouts and the finals were held on layout 6 that made a good
spectators range.
The overall winner was Daniel Baskerville 83/100 and 23/25 in the
final with a total of 106/125, 2nd overall Steve Pain 83+20=103, 3rd
overall John Collier 81+18=99, 4th overall Leonardo Pezzano 83+16=99,
5th overall Harry Kassi
anou 81+17=98. 1st AA/A
A Williams 78/100, 2nd
AA/A P Cassar 76/100, 1st
B R Briscas 74/100, 2nd B
David Abeni 72/100. 1st C
V Lialaris 60/100, 2nd C K
Sindyan 53/100, 1st Junior S
Williams 63/100, 2nd Junior
N Ali 57/100, 3rd Junior J
Bell 56/100
In conclusion, the comments
from the shooters were that
they enjoyed the targets
and the way they were
presented. I also would like
D Baskerville O/A winner
to thank all the shooters
and all the helpers for
making this event successful and would hope to see you all again this
time next year.
Yours in Sporting Clays, Leo
After being given a run through
on gun handling and safety, the
Students were assigned to three
trap layouts, to shoot at a total of
ten targets in single barrel mode,
under the watchful eyes of the volunteer members who were
doing the coaching. At the end of ten targets there were two
Students both on a score of eight out of ten, which called for
a shoot off to decide an overall winner. This usually really
catches the attention of all Students as the competition of the
shoot off does cause some excitement.
AARON OUTSHOOTS ALL
AT ECHUCA SCHOOL CLINIC
Tuesday the 18th of October and teacher, Zoe
Dannett, accompanied 14, year seven Students from
the Echuca College out to the Echuca Clay Target
Club, for a clay target shooting clinic. Amongst the
boys and girls there was a few that had competed in
the recent School Students Shoot held at Echuca,
so that held the promise that some may shoot a
reasonable score.
Shoot offs for these shooting clinics is done as the best of five
targets instead of a sudden death final, and Dylan Robertson
an Echuca lad, and Aaron Psaila a lad from Torrumbarry,
really put on a show for the onlookers both
recording a 4/5 in the first shoot off round, having
to go again and this time Aaron shot one more
target than Dylan, recording an overall total of
15/20. That score gave Aaron the title of Overall
High Gun, which earned him a HG certificate and
a handshake from the club’s president Ron Traill.
Well shot Aaron! Dylan having to settle for second
place with his well shot 14/20 result.
When asked at the end of the shoot, all Students
stated that they certainly enjoyed being involved in
the sport of clay target shooting, and the club’s
committee wishes to thank teacher Zoe, and the
Echuca College for taking an interest in the
sport, and the volunteer helpers from the Echuca
and Mathoura club’s that make these clinics
possible.

Message in a cartridge
This article was
recently passed
onto Robert Nugent
by Grant McPherson – Rockhampton
Gun Club and tells
the story of Mr
Bruce McPherson
from the Moree
Gun Club who,
after firing his final
shot in an event,
was surprised not
only to see the
target keep going
but to discover that
rather than lead,
the cartridge had
propelled a paper
message from the
barrel.
The letter, once translated, established that
the message was from
a young Italian girl,
who unable to travel
the world was anxious to have the finder, or rather the shooter, send her postcards and
photos from their town/country. In return she offers to exchange postcards from Italy.
The story was first published in the Moree “North-West Champion Newpaper”, in
September 1967 and
even though it is a
unique shooting story,
was apparently not
printed in the CTSN.
The letters and
news-paper clipping
have been scanned
from photocopies, the
quality is not great
but hopefully you will
find the letters and the
article interesting.
Above is a copy of the
original message that
shot from the barrel.
Left, the letter to Mr
McPherson from the
newspaper and on the
right is the published
article which includes
a photograph of the
shooter studying the
note.
If you have any historic
stories that you think
may be of interest to
other members, please
pass them on to the
ACTA office and if
suitable we will publish
them in CTSN.
