Notes
Cecil Park CTC - 5,6,7 Sept

NATIONAL GROUND
You may have observed the up grade programme at your
National Ground. Toilet block, office building, stores shed,
caravan site, power up grade, road sealing and new
entrance gates. All of which has been achieved over a 4
year period.
The next step is to reconstruct the shooting facilities with
new traphouses, shooting lanes and electric's
(underground).
To this end 15 all steel traphouses have been constructed
with front opening lifting lids. All have been hot dipped
(galvanised) and are ready for installation. Our thanks to
Don Johnson, NSW Gun club for his help.
The Championship Committee is keen to reorganise the
National DTL programme to include 100 targets per day
and have requested that traps 12, 13 & 14, over the drain
at the western end, proceed as a matter of urgency.
The grounds Committee are now endeavouring to meet
this request and hope to have trap 1 replaced and 12,13 &
14 operation before the 2004 DTL Championship.
Now is the time for individuals, Companies, State
Associations etc to become involved with the sponsor
programme particularly leading up to the 2006 World
Championship.
Should you be in a position to help contact either myself or
Andy to organise a mutually beneficial package.

Twenty four Double Trap
shooters were greeted with
perfect weather conditions on
Friday morning for the start of
the carnival. After a warm
welcome
from
host
club
President Dave McLeod we were
straight into it. For many of us
it was the first time shooting
Double Trap with the time delay
after calling - makes it VERY
interesting.
The
pressure
was
on
immediately as the State Postal
Team was to be selected over the
first 25 pairs, and the interstate
shooters could not afford to give
any lead away. This saw Tony A,
Craig Tilley, John Coaker, Tom
Turner, Ross Walsh (welcome to
NSW) and Paul Farrugia qualify
for the team.
The next 50 pairs sorted out not
only the grade placings but also
the positions for the State Team
to represent at 2004 Nationals.
The 25 pr final saw Craig Tilley
emerge as this years State
Champion with Tony A and Tom
Turner joining him as the State
Team for the 2004 Nationals.

Saturday dawned another near perfect day weather wise with 45
competitors squading for the Trap event and disappointingly only
seven for the skeet (several regulars were busy at a world cup
event in Italy). Again Postal Event teams were selected over the
first 50 targets which kept competition intense. Congratulations to
the following postal teams: - Men's Trap: - Tom Turner, Steve Zadro,

With the change of format to a 200 target event it meant that we
all needed to complete four rounds each day and with the Bushfire
Brigades burning off all over Sydney the light smoke haze was
making high scores difficult.
The weather forecast for Sunday was not too promising; however
the gods must like shooters a little as they kept the showers away,
although to show their poor sense of humour they kept the clouds,
smoke haze and sunshine alternating to make for fairly difficult
conditions. Joe Smaniotto finished with a perfect round to take
overall with a 188/200 with Clive Barton shooting exactly the same
total to claim the Skeet title for this year. The following 2004
Nationals Representative teams were selected over the 200

28th Annual Darwin Four Day Shoot
Over 90 shooters from all over Australia turned up for the 28th
Annual Darwin Four Day Shoot. As with every year during July,
the weather was absolutely gorgeous with 30° and blue skies.
Occasionally the wind got up and made conditions a little bit more
interesting. With over $25,000 worth of prizes and $15,000 to be
shared amongst many shooters shooting the program clean
competition was going to be fierce.

Thursday started the weekend with the 1st Bob Dalgliesh
Memorial Skeet event, sponsored by his pals and Barbeques Galore
Darwin. As people may remember, Bob passed away last year just
before the Four-Day Shoot and this is our way of remembering and
thanking him for all his work. The other two events for the day
were the V & A Building Contractors 50 TGT Trench and
Winchester State Night 50 TGT DB.
Competition in the skeet was strong from the start with two well
deserved possibles from John Doyle and Richard Schmidt.
Everyone else was only a couple of targets behind. After a gracious
display of skill throughout the shoot-off, JD missed his 87th target
and Richard took the honours for O/A & A. The other grade
winners were B grade, Nicole Hyland and C grade, Kevin Polst.

Once lunch was over the Trench got going and with all the traps
working perfectly, 7 squads took the lanes. There were some hard
left & right handers being thrown, and even though not one perfect
round was scored there were plenty of 23's & 24's which showed the
standard of competition to be expected for the weekend. Shoot-offs
decided the winners for all grades and after a relatively quick one,
Platon Zapantis won O/A & B, Phil Grove won A grade and Stuart
Lowery C grade. (State Handicapper please check grade)
Whilst waiting for the sun to go down everyone enjoyed a superb
BBQ before tackling the State Night DB. 70 shooters contested the
brilliant white targets with 6 shooters clean. Bernie Scanlon won
the overall after a shoot-off and the other grade winners after their
shoot-offs were AA grade Steve Atkins, A grade Dave Hannah, B
grade Leith Johnson and C grade Mark Baker.
Bright and early Friday morning started the main DTL events. The
first event, National Jet Systems Pty Ltd 10 TGT PTS was won by
Merv Starr, who collected $400 for his victory.
The second event 60 TGT Darwin Clay Target Club Champions of

conditions kept things interesting "The hardest targets in

the final details and Andrew Robinson was the winner. Next event
was the Fishing & Outdoor World 30 TGT PTS. Once again the
wind blew up and made for a brute of a target. Once all the squads
were in it was evident that the targets had won with only 4
possibles to contest the O/A. Continuing his great form Jeff Nash
won the O/A & AA grade, Ryan Atkins won A grade, Richard Ayres
B grade & Simon Struss C grade. Lorenzo Scribani-Rossi won
juniors with Nicole Hyland Ladies and Max Greene veterans after
a quick shoot-off.

Australia" was heard from some competitors. Not one possible was
scored which at this early stage made everyone ineligible for the
$15,000. The top two shooters who came in one point down were
Dave Howe and Roger Duthie. Looking forward to a good shoot-off,
Dave missed his 12th target and Roger took O/A & AA for his
effort. A grade went to Platon Zapantis, B grade Nicole Hyland and
C grade Ian Lamb. Tanya Laker won Ladies with top junior shot
Ryan Atkins winning Juniors and Jeff Nash veterans.
With beer o'clock not too far away the third event, Aboriginal Fine
Arts 20 Pr DR commenced. As the afternoon wind blew some good
and not so good scores were posted. One of the good scores belonged
to Steve Atkins who won O/A & AA with 38/40, one target behind
that gave Clay Zapantis A grade, while Rob Chaffer B grade and
Steve Honner C grade with 30/40. Local girl Linda O'Grady won

The final event for the day was event six, Asset Management
Systems 50 TGT DB. With $2000+ worth of prizes available,
everyone was keen for a slice of the pie. Nine shooters shot the lot
with most retiring early to the club house. As the shoot-off boys got
their gear ready, so did the crowd with a cold beer and cool spot on
the verandah to watch them battle it out. A good rhythm was set
early and all knuckled down for a long one. It appears though that
beer o'clock got the better of Gary Hayden as he let one slide for
Bruce Webb to take the honours. Bert Boschetti held on for A
grade, with Rob Chaffer B grade and Ian Lamb C grade. Lorenzo
got another one back on Ryan after a short shoot-off for Juniors,
while Nicole Hyland keep her form up winning Ladies and Jeff
Nash veterans.
Saturday night saw the Calcutta Dinner & Auction, with five
shooters going between $400 and $800 each. This kept the prize
pool rising and it finished at over $8100. The food and drink went

the Ladies with Ryan Atkins following the old mans style and
taking Juniors. Once again Jeff Nash was too good and won
veterans.
Saturday morning dawned bright and brilliant, and from the
amount of water and panadol being passed around, it appeared
some of the shooters had had a good night. We won't mention the
phone call from the police asking if we knew a bunch of blokes from
some place called Springsure. We took the Sgt Schultz option and
knew 'Nothing'. Back to the shooting and first event up for grabs
today was the $400 Frontier Carpets & Vinyl 10 TGT SB. With only
10 possibles to contend for the money a short shoot-off concluded

had by all.
As shooters arrived for the final
day of competition, everyone's
mind was on the Calcutta. The
handicap events kicked off the
day and Kevin Polst took home
the $400 in the T & M Concreter
10 TGT H'Cap.
Next saw 85 shooters line up for
the International Trade Corp 30
TGT H'Cap (who by the way we
thank very much for all the caps
they supplied). A heap of 28 & 29
were posted, but only one
shooter shone through to shoot
them clean and that was Stuart
Lowery (good shooting). Second

respective positions.
Now it was time for the Blue Ribbon Event, QANTAS 50 TGT DB
Calcutta. With everyone as keen as mustard to break some clays
shooting got under way. And break the clays they did, with seven
lucky shooters shooting the possible. It wasn't hard to see who had
brought them as the buyers all had big smiles knowing they got
their piece of the prize pool. Beers were flowing freely that evening.
Anyway shoot-offs were conducted to find out who took home the
airfares and they were, AA grade Roger Duthie, A grade Alex
Dallas, B grade Richard Ayres & C grade Simon Struss.

their prizes kindly donated by Beretta Australia. We also had for
the first time a High gun prize for the best placed Northern
Territory Shooter, which was a return airfare to Alice Springs
sponsored by Airnorth. This was won by Dave Howe who showed us
how it was done. Good shooting Dave. Also a big thankyou must go
to our additional sponsors Stumpe Lowery for the Junior prizes
and Shenannigans Irish Pub for their vouchers.
The Darwin Clay Target Club would like to thank everyone that
travelled to Darwin, we know we are a long way from anywhere
and we appreciated the effort you all made. This weekend always
brings the best out in people through companionship probably
because of too many beers. We love to have as many visitors as
possible, so folks if any of you are getting sick of the cold weather
next year feel free to pop up to Darwin in July and don't forget to
pack the gun and rod.
PS. The club would also like to thank everyone that put in any
effort to making this years Four Day shoot work, such as Rod &
Janet, Alex Zapantis, Aran Thompson, the campers (There were so
many of you I don't have enough space for all the names, Rob
Gaden shoot marshal, George for the Calcutta, Vicky Ferteklis, Rob

Cowra Gun Club Gold Cup Shoot
Cowra Gun Club's 21st Gold Cup event was conducted on the first
weekend in August in spring-like weather, which added to the
Carnival atmosphere created by the number of visitors from all
over the State, many of whom return each year to Cowra to
compete, finding the ground, facilities, and first class organisation
a pleasure to experience.

The 100 target Volvo Truck and Bus Cowra Gold Cup conducted on
the Sunday, was won by visitor Gary Rootes, but not without a
battle in the shoot-off with Cowra's John Finn. They shot a further
111 targets before John missed his 112th Gary has won the event
on two previous occasions.

Barrel Open to defeat top shot Arthur Turner from Dubbo 218/218.
Two others to shoot over 200 before dropping out, were Glen
Castellaro of Griffith and Tim Wunderlich of Sydney.
High Gun for the weekend was Ross Hibbert from Wilberforce with
a score of 271/275. Ross who has been overall High Gun previously,
always shoots with great consistency, but says he 'cannot seem to
crack it for the Gold Cup'.
The Mick Sinclair Memorial Handicap was won by Arty Del Ben,
from George Dominello both of Sydney. The Len Bird 3-man-Team
Shield, run in conjunction with the Handicap, was won by Joe
Camilleri, Fil Pignatore [4th in the Handicap], and George
Dominello with a score of 72/75. Only 1 point behind were three
juniors, Mitchell Cobbin [3rd in the Handicap], Aaron Turner, and
Marc Cardillo.
The 100 plus shooters who competed over the two days are to be
commended for their co-operation, patience, and good
sportsmanship, all of which contributes to a great weekend for
everyone, especially those running the shoot. See you all next year,
first weekend in August.
The Club is fortunate to have support from a wonderful array of
sponsors, with Volvo Truck and Bus, through the Cowra Diesel
Service, topping the list.

Darwin Club Wins
Government Grant
The Darwin Clay Target Club has just received the first
instalment of a $99,500 NT Government grant to upgrade our
ISSF facilities. The basis of the grant application was that, if
the Club could upgrade its ISSF facilities to a suitable
standard, then the grounds would be of a suitable standard
and available for the Australian trap & skeet team to practice
on prior to the Athens Olympics next year. Athens will be hot
but southern Australia won't be in July. Darwin not only will
be warm enough to enable the team to acclimatise before
leaving for Athens but also has considerable support facilities
including the NT Institute of Sport. It is also intended that
the facilities will be utilised in a NT Junior ISSF coaching
development plan. Needless to say the Club had to agree to
"put up" a significant amount of cash as well as labour "in
kind".
The Club is grateful to the Minister responsible, Mr John Ah
Kit, and the NT Office of Sport & Recreation. By the time you
have read this, an announcement hopefully will have been
made in the NT media. The Club also thanks Greg Chan for
his support of the grant application. The equipment is now
being ordered and upon its arrival the hard work will start.
Our projected timetable is to have it all fully operational by
May 2004.
As you can imagine we are somewhat excited by the
development and it shows that, despite our small numbers,
things do happen up here in the NT!

Cloncurry Annual Two-Day Shoot
26-27 July 2003
It doesn't get any better than this...
The profile of clay target shooting has risen in the past few years
into the public spotlight with shooters emerging such as Michael
Diamond and Russell Mark. And while the sport has become
increasingly technical and competitive, the social aspect of clay
target shooting often outweighs the competition, particularly in
the outback where people travel as much to socialise as they do to
shoot.
This was obvious by the number of people who made the trek to
the "heart of the Great North West" for our annual two-day shoot.
As well as attracting hobby competitors, the program also lured an
impressive number (16!) of state and national champions. No
surprise really when you consider that outback Queensland has
been the breeding ground for some outstanding shooters over the
years! The presence of these shooters raised the bar for all;
ensuring that this year's shoot was a highly competitive and
entertaining one that well and truly shattered any perceptions
that competition in the west is easy!
The weather was shaping up to be superb. However, in typical
Cloncurry style, a couple of days before the shoot the temperature
dropped and the wind picked up. While there were a few gusty, cold
moments, conditions were generally pretty good.
There were many shooters at the Central Hotel on Friday night for
the pre-shoot briefing. Most were well behaved with only a couple
of sore heads on Saturday morning. The morning saw a flurry of
activity, starting with a complimentary breakfast.
Through the grapevine, we were anticipating we would get around
50-60 shooters. We well and truly surpassed that mark with a
club-record attendance. Seventy shooters competed in the two-day
program with over $6000 worth of cash and prizes on offer.
Shooters travelled from across the state (Mount Isa, Springsure,
Normanton, Rockhampton, Gemfields, Atherton, Tambo, Roma,
Scrubby Creek, Warwick, Gympie, Kingaroy, Blackall, Ilfracombe,
Caboolture, Karumba and Charters Towers) with a few interstate
travellers from as far afield as Northern Territory (Tennant Creek
and Alice Springs), Victoria (Yarrawonga) and New South Wales
(Griffith).
Shooting kicked off at 9am with Event 1, Kiernan Tipping
Transport / Niverak Smash Repairs 25 Target Double Barrel
event. After a short shoot-off, Jon Doyle took overall with a score
of 35/35 from Barry Harker who took first in AA with 34/35. Other
scores were; 2nd AA Mark Warnock 31/32, 1st A Neil Sinclair
41/42, 2nd A Grant McPherson 40/42, 1st B Nev Anderson 25/25,
2nd B Craig Davies 24/25, 1st C Les Wilson 23/25, 2nd C Nicole
Prudames 22/25, and Best Lady Diane Reeves 25/25.
Event 2 was the Hastings Deering / Nasco Welding 25 Target
Single Barrel Championship. With no possibles shot and another
short shoot off, Alan Grimshaw won overall with 35/36 from Wayne
Murphy who won 1st AA with 34/36. Other scores were; 2nd AA
Mark Warnock 28/30, 1st A Craig Davies 24/25, 2nd A Neil Sinclair
24/26, 1st B Jon Doyle 24/25, 2nd B Jamie Cameron 23/26, 1st C
Damon Reid 22/25, 2nd C Les Wilson 19/25, and Best Lady Tracey
Harker 22/25.
Event 3 was the Cloncurry Tyre Service / Rydlyme Pty Ltd 25
Target Points Championship. Again, another short shoot off saw
Rod Cusack from Mt Isa take overall with 81/81. Other scores
were; 1st AA Gary Brown 75/75, 2nd AA Bruce Murphy 74/75, 1st
A Grant McPherson 74/75, 2nd A Tarmo Koivumaki 73/75, 1st B
Ray Moore 73/75, 2nd B Jon Doyle 70/75, 1st C
Les Wilson 73/81, 2nd C Brandon Gameau 72/81, and Best Lady
Diane Reeves 72/75.
Event 4 was the Central Hotel 50 Target Double Barrel
Championship. With fading light on Saturday, the last four squads
shot this event first thing Sunday morning. As was expected, the
competition in this event was tough. With a handful of possibles
shot, it eventually dwindled down to Gary Brown and Wayne
Reeves shooting off for overall with Gary the eventual winner with
105/105. Wayne took first in AA with 104/105. There were also
shoot-offs in A, B and C grade. Other scores were; 2nd AA Rod
Cusack 56/57, 1st A Cliff Grimshaw 65/66, 2nd A Chris Wilson
64/66, 1st B Katrina Cutting 53/55, 2nd B Ray Moore 52/55, 1st C
Nicole Prudames 53/58, 2nd C Myrtle Anderson 52/55, and Best
Lady Diane Reeves 50/50.
The Calcutta auction was run Saturday night, after a dinner of
scrumptious pig-on-the-spit (prepared with thanks by Howie and
Jim). Many thanks to Robbie Cusack who controlled the auction
proceedings. We were warned - even so much as a scratch or eye
movement could see a bid against you. Al Grimshaw and Rick
Kennedy provided the best entertainment of the night doing their
best to outbid each
other. With temperatures dropping after
the auction and some

The weekend also saw a couple of new pawpaw club members and
others contributing. Madam Pawpaw would be proud of the
creative pawpaw thinking over the weekend. In one such incident,
two shooters decided a second placing by a coin toss. After a group
discussion, it was decided the coin toss loser had pawpawed and
was fined for dropping their first target.
Before the prize presentations we had a special mention for Bruce
and Doris Murphy from Mt Isa who are moving to the greener
brown pastures of Townsville. The Murphys have supported the
club in many ways - Bruce for helping with the traps and assisting
the club in getting up and running a few years ago, and Doris who
was always colourful at the Calcutta auctions and who helped
support the bar. We wish you all the best for future and hope to see
you around the traps.
Presentations were finished just at the sun set. Some shooters
stayed around for Sunday night with many heading off to the
Bowls Club for dinner for a feed and a few drinks and to recap on
the many laughs and memorable moments over the weekend.
As always, many elements came together to make this shoot
successful. The Cloncurry Clay Target Club would like to thank
the following sponsors: Niverak Smash Repairs, E.A. Lemmon,
Curley Cattle Transport, Rydlyme Pty Ltd, Daryl & Pat Grant,

After lunch it was off to the Airport, under the direction of Wilna
again. Wilna Naude was the most wonderful host and helper to us
all. Eddy and Stewart flew out first to Cape Town for an added
holiday. Ollie, Tim and Dave started for Perth, taking all 5 guns
with them. This was the start of the only hassle of the trip, because
when we arrived in Johannesburg, the guns were missing. The only
worried people were us, as the officials said "don't worry, just go
back to Perth and we will send the guns on later". Censorship
prevents the printing of Dave's answer to that idea, so after much
talking and us telling them we would not move without the guns,
they were found and then the rush was really on. The distance
between the local and International Airport is a reasonable one
and only Ollie knew that he could run, but the other two found out
they still could and we made it. Even if the plane had to be held up
about 15 mins.
We arrived back in Perth at 9am on Thursday 19th, after the most
wonderful trip ever and much talk of doing it again next year or as
soon as possible.

shooting. W.J. Henn shot a 92/100 to be the best. After a clean up it
was back to the ground for the Annual Dinner and lots of fun. One
trap that can happen to the unsuspecting is that drinking alcohol
at high altitude is likely to put one on ones ear very quickly, but a
word of warning from the old fellow who was there last year saved
the day.
Sunday 15th, more frost, before another lovely day of 220. This
days shooting saw the start of the South African section of the
Mackintosh Qualifying Events. Two events of 100 D.T.L. Points. In
the first 100 Jaco De Wet was at it again with 297/300. None us did
all that well, so we decided to give the next 100 more effort.
The Powerade Mackintosh Qualifier was won by Filip Naude
298/300. Nice to see our wonderful host shoot so well. Of the
Aussies, Dave Knight was best with 292/200 and Tim was best
Veteran with 291/300 with Eddy 2nd and Bill 3rd Veteran.
Monday 16th, our first cold day with a biting wind. This was the
South African Mackintosh Team shoot for their score and after the
teams had shot the rest of the field joined in for an overall event not a bad idea. Jaco De Wet was there again with 299/300 to high
gun the event and their team. Tim won the Veterans with 291/300,
with Eddy and Bill, second and third. Then followed 50 prs D/Rise
for those who had any shells or energy left.
900 targets were shot over the 4 days and it was a credit to the
organizers that all ran smoothly without any holdups. In all nearly
80 shooters competed at some stage and if any shooter in Australia
wants a good time and something a little different in a trip, then go
next year to this great event.
We all packed up and were ready to go, when someone made the
offer of some bird shooting early next morning, Ollie, Dave and Tim
(who had already said he didn't want to shoot again for at least a
week) took up the offer.
Tuesday 17th, up early for the bird shooting. Eddy and Stewart
went of to buy presents for those at home, while the others took to
the birds. Dave Knight is of an English Game Shooting
background, and he reckoned it was the best morning he had ever
spent in the field.
After lunch Wilna took us out to see some diamonds and a few were
purchased at very reasonable prices.
Wednesday 18th, packed up early for the trip home a then a quick
dash out to another game farm to try and see what must be the
biggest Lion in Africa. We only got a quick look at him, but he is
enormous, perhaps 300kgs plus. These lions are in a square mile of
specially fenced country, so are as natural as possible. We also saw
many other animals in the short morning viewing e.g. Gemsbok,
Zebra, Impala and Blesbok.

THE GODFATHER’S BIRTHDAY
Let it be known to all the shooting world, but especially to the
Melbourne chapter of the Mafia, that Tony Rowe, the respected
trench shooter of days gone by, Godfather and Confidente of the
shooting world in Melbourne, turned 70 on the 10th of October,
2003.
Tony would be one of the toughest blokes around, but underneath
the gruff exterior, he is really an OLD soft touch.
can make it better by just taking a bit more wood off here or there”.
Tony has now taken up rural fencing as a hobby and can be
contacted for quotes or advice on fencing, although if the fencing
requires the use of a tractor then the price you ask for is per
kilometre, not by the hour. The reason for this is that Tony has a
very limited working knowledge of tractors. This is evidenced by
recent events where Tony had purchased a tractor and shipped it
over to French Island where he was going to dig some post holes
with a post hole digger attached to the tractor. After spending the
best part of a day going over everything he still could not get the
power take off [PTO] to engage to drive the post hole digger. He
hired a tractor expert at great expense and took him across to the
island to “fix the PTO on the tractor”. The expert jumped up onto
the tractor, depressed the clutch and pulled up the lever on the side
of the tractor, which had cast into it the letters, PTO. Upon
releasing the clutch, the post hole digger started going round and
round, whereupon Tony was heard to utter, “What a stupid place to
put the lever and wouldn’t you think they would label it more
clearly”.
Tony’s eyesight is obviously not what it once was. Bob Buchan tells
the story of going in the car with Tony to a VCTA meeting in
Ballarat. After they had gone through 2 red lights, Bob said to
Tony, didn’t you see that those lights were red? Whereupon Tony
replied to Bob, no, didn’t you know I am colour blind!
Tony can be contacted for any advice on gunsmithing, stock
alterations, fencing, or if you would just like to wish him a belated
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, please feel free to try him on 03 5977 5656
HE PROBABLY THOUGHT WE HAD FORGOTTEN THIS
SPECIAL DATE BUT WE COULD NEVER ALLOW THAT TO
HAPPEN !!!!!
NTCTA ISSF State
Carnival
Tony tried desperately to stop this letter being published, even
offering bribes, as evidenced by this photocopy of his cheque that
he sent as “HUSH” money but he found that wouldn’t work. Then
when the reporters came round to interview Tony at a local gun
club, he beat a hasty retreat, trying desperately, as can be seen by
the photo, not to let the cameras take his photo and to remove his
shooting vest as quickly as possible, so no one could recognise him.
Tony once sent his father-in-law’s gun barrel to Ian McGeoch in
Albury, to have some pits removed in Ian’s honing and polishing
machine. Tony was so impressed with the job that he made
enquiries of Ian, that if he were to pack up and send up his wife,
Shirley, could Ian perform a similar job on her with the honing
machine!
Tony is now laying bricks only occasionally, preferring to offer his
son John and John’s mates Bill and Peter, his accumulated
knowledge of the art of shooting and modifying guns to make them
perform better at clay target shooting.
He has kept Kevin Wright in a steady stream of work refinishing
stocks after they have been modified by Tony to suit one of his
shooting group. What Tony lacks in finesse, he more than makes up
for with enthusiasm, when he gets the wood rasp in his hands and
spots a nice gun stock. As he says, he is past his prime now, but if
he can just get to his son John’s stock with a wood rasp, “I know I

The NTCTA held their ISSF State Carnival over the weekend
of 23rd & 24th of August at Darwin Clay Target Club. 12
Shooters turned up from as far away as Victoria and Alice
Springs to contest the events.
Four local lads took the skeet layout, and for two of them
(Matt Brown & Dave Searle) it was their first time shooting
an ISSF discipline. Some good scores where posted
throughout the 125, with John Doyle 2 targets clear of Colin
McTaggart entering the final. Colin saved the best till last and
shot a personal best 24/25 in the final, although JD held on
with a 23 to take the honours. Dave Searle came in 3rd with
Matt Brown also shooting a personal best in the final to take
4th position.
Next saw 8 shooters line up for the trench. Program 7 was set
and with the wind blowing it became program 10. Even
though no one shot a perfect round, everyone shot very well
with a high average across the board. Leading to the final
Brett Dunstan took a 1 target lead over Christos Despotis
with Brett Symes and Louis Jong not far behind. Once again
high consistent scores where shot and the results were, O/A B
Dunstan, AA grade B Symes, A grade Christos Despotis, B
grade S Morris.
The Double trap event commenced after lunch on Sunday and
once again Brett Dunstan set the pace with Christos not far
away. Final placings were O/A B Dunstan, A grade C Despotis,
B grade B Evans 2nd S Morris & C grade B Symes 2nd M
Brown. The NTCTA would like to thank all the shooters who
travelled for this event and next year the ISSF Skeet will be
shot in conjunction with the Skeet State Titles. The ISSF trap
will be shot at a date to be set. From all in the Northern
Territory, good shooting.

Dear Sir,
I was disappointed and saddened to read that last month was
Adrian Cousin's last contribution to the ACTA Clay Target
Shooting News on a regular basis. I have to say it was the only
section in the magazine that each month I thought, "must read". I
found it to be very informative and added to the debate about our
sport. I believe the original brief for the segment was to achieve
just that. Debate about our sport and how we approach it is
healthy if carried out in a non-personal, non-vindictive manner,
which was not always the case, and to Adrian's credit he managed
to carry-on despite what could only be described as very personal
attacks. A lesser person would have given up there and then.
That aside, I believe the debate Adrian created and his
contributions he has made in his articles, as shoot marshal, as a
coach and participant in our sport has helped raise the bar in the
professionalism of shooting in Australia, especially skeet. Add to
this, his achievements both overseas and in Australia speak for
themselves. Feats in non-Olympic skeet that are unlikely to be
matched by an Australian for some time. I have benefited from
exposure to many shooters over many years from their comments;
advice and contributions made to our clubs and sport. Thankyou
to all those who have taken the time to discuss the many and
varied aspects of our great sport. I believe these debates and
discussions help and should be encouraged and that Adrian has
done a lot for our sport and certainly fuelled the debate within the
sport. I know personally, that through his efforts he has
contributed to my experience and enjoyment of the sport both
directly and indirectly. Thank you.

Dear Editor
We were privileged this past weekend to attend the inaugural
shoot of the Camel Hill Gun Club at the top of the Hunter Valley.
The grounds are fairly basic, one trap, a small shed for the targets,
a small shelter for the office/kitchen, an open fire BBQ and of
course a couple of tin outhouses, all perched on the side of a hill
overlooking picturesque Sandy Hollow.
Anything this club lacks in facilities is more than compensated for
in spirit. Led by Frank and Bernadette the whole township seems
to have got behind the club.
Right from the start you knew this day would be different. The
invitation stressed that all shooters must be on the grounds 30
min prior to shoot time. Upon arriving, just in time, proceedings
were under way; all competitors were welcomed by Frank who
then proceeded to go over the tournament conditions before the
official opening.
How refreshing the tournament conditions at Camel Hill. Late for
your squad - $5 fine, late to ref or score your turn - $5 fine, move
off your mark before the next competitor shoots - $5 fine, talk on
the firing line, if a target releases - you guessed it $5 fine, or in
Franks immortal words "If you don't like it GO HOME - any safety
breach GO HOME". Of course the first event started right on time
and the whole day ran smooth as silk, 80 targets, 8 squads, shootoffs and presentation all complete by 4:30 and all on one trap.
All money raised, including the fines are donated to local charities
and service organisations. Perhaps other clubs, dare I say National
and State carnivals might consider a similar fine system to remind

Cairns Target
Shooting Club
Fine weather and cool breezes were a perfect combination for
the Cairns Target Shooting Club's two day DTL Annual held
over the 6th and 7th September. Four squads lined up on both
days with a few shoot offs needed to finalise results.
Competitors were from a wide range of areas including
Cairns, Mt Isa, Atherton, Silkwood, Burdekin, Herbert River
and Townsville. Highlights of the Annual were the 50 Target
Double Barrel Club Championship hotly contested in a shoot
off between Mike Collins and Shannon Paton, with Shannon
taking the Championship; and the 25 Target Northern Zone
Single Barrel Championship won by Andrew Casella.
A special thank you to the hard working club members and
visitors who ensured that the two days ran smoothly for all
competitors.

Coaching athletes at any level is a huge responsibility. It is
important to understand that you, the coach, play a leading role in
their lives. Many athletes spend more time with their coach and
respective training groups than they do with their families while
they pursue their sporting dreams.
Athletes deserve to be in a safe, professional environment - the
same situation you would demand of a coach whose responsibility
it was to guide the athletic development of your child.
We must provide an environment where everyone involved is safe
from harassment of any kind, abusive behaviour, discrimination or
victimisation.
So how do you ensure you are providing this environment?
Let us look at a few practical tips:
Make sure you undergo member protection training, which is
usually provided by government and administered by your
national or state sporting association.
Learn and understand what the member protection policy means
and if you are not sure about any aspect of it, make sure you follow
up any questions.
If you are the leader (head coach) of a club or state-based program,
ensure that each and every person involved either in an employed
or voluntary capacity within your program receives member
protection training. This could include people who are officials,
masseurs and volunteering parents, as well as people who serve on
boards or committees.
In certain states now involved in administering the member
protection policy, police checks are mandatory for volunteers and
paid officials who work with children in sport.
As a responsible coach, you are required to have the credentials of
people involved in your sporting organisation checked.
This preventative action is an important step in creating and
maintaining a safe environment.
It helps minimise the risk for you, your sporting organisation and
most importantly, the athletes with whom you deal directly.
I believe this is all based on common sense, it protects the health,
safety and wellbeing of all coaches and athletes.
Legal requirements
(Extract from Child Protection Overview, Australian Sports
Commission 2001)
Child abuse is illegal in all states and territories of Australia with
each having their own laws that cover the reporting and
investigation of cases of child abuse.
Mandatory reporting of child abuse (also called 'notification'),
where some professions are legally required to report any abuse
they suspect or notice applies in all states and territories (with the
exception of Western Australia) although the professions involved
are different.
In New South Wales and Queensland, specific-child protection and
intervention legislation now applies to the sport and recreation
industry. The Victorian Government is currently developing a
Working with Children Check scheme based on the NSW and
Queensland legislation. The South Australian Government
recently commissioned and released a review of child protection. It
is now preparing legislation based on the recommendations of the
report aimed at improving methods of protecting children.
Legislation alone is not enough to protect children. Sporting
organisations need to adopt several basic principles and implement
a range of risk management strategies that address the above
points. These strategies are listed on the ASC web site:
www.activeaustralia.org/hfs.
An organisation's ability to use all these processes will depend on
the available resources. However the most effective resource is
informed people. Increasing an adult's awareness of how abuse can
happen, what to look for, and fostering a sense of responsibility for
the welfare of children under their care are the most effective
strategies an organisation can implement.
As a coach, you are one of the most important people in the lives of
our young athletes. Don't take it lightly.
Child protection legislation makes it mandatory for sporting
organisations and individuals involved in sporting organisations
and individuals involved in sport as a paid employee or a volunteer
to meet certain requirements. These requirements also apply to
individuals and organisations originating outside of the states with
child-protection legislation in place. For example, if a sporting
organisation sends junior players to New South Wales or
Queensland for training camps, competition or other activities,
those travelling with the teams may have to undergo the relevant
checks. If organisations based outside New South Wales and
Queensland want to conduct police checks on personnel in, or
applicants for, child-related positions, they will need to get advice
from their relevant state police jurisdiction as to the procedure to
be followed.

What’s on the Agenda?
With Mark McInnes
Over the past few months there have been numerous letters
received in the "Your Say" section of the Clay Target News where
the authors obviously didn't or don't understand either the role of
the National rules committee or the systems the ACTA has in place
for Rule changes. So this month I would like to try and explain the
roles and systems.
What is the Rules Committee?
The rules committee is a sub committee of the ACTA that is
responsible for the management of rules, safety & referees.
What is the Role of the Rules Committee?
The rules committee receives proposals from the state associations
and ACTA executive members in regards to issues concerning
rules, safety & referees and makes recommendations to the
National executive.
It is not the role of the rules committee to make the rules, the
national executive has that role. It is the role of the rules
committee to make recommendations to the National Executive.
Who are the Members of the Rules Committee?
At present the members of the rules committee are Mark McInnes
(NSW), Ron Traill (Vic), Bob Andrews (SA) & Elaine Forward (WA)
The rules committee meets three times per year, there is also one
rules supervisors meeting per year and a number of open meetings
per year, these include an open meeting at the Trap & Skeet
Nationals and an open meeting at each states trap carnival every
three years. We also meet with representatives of international
trap & DTL associations.
What are the Systems that are used?
Proposals are received from the State associations or ACTA
executive members and are debated by the rules committee, if
ACTA Skeet Break
Gun Competition
The ACTA is conducting a Skeet break competition
commencing 1st November 2003 & Briley has agreed to
sponsor the competition by providing awards for the winners.
To qualify for an award you must achieve either of the
following breaks:
Breaks Award
200 Break - Skeet 12 gauge Pair Briley Sidekick Tubes
100 Break - Skeet 20 gauge Pair Briley Sidekick Tubes
100 Break - Skeet doubles Pair Briley Sidekick Tubes
Grand Slam (All 3) Complete set Briley Sidekick Tubes
Claim forms are available from the ACTA & must be signed
by the secretary of the club where the break was shot.
ACTA Skeet Break Register
A register of all shooters who have shot these breaks is being
established so please contact the ACTA if you have shot any of
these breaks in the past & receive free entry for a Skeet Break
raffle of a pair of Briley Sidekick Tubes.
CONDITIONS OF ENTRY:
Competitors must be a member of the ACTA & breaks must
be shot in competition. Confirmation of your break is
compulsory.
November 2003
approved then the proposal is forwarded to the other state
associations for debate.
The proposals are then returned to the rules committee for further
debate and if approved the proposal is then passed on to the
National executive for approval or rejection.
State Association / Executive Member
Rules Committee
Other State Associations
Rules Committee
National Executive ACTA
This system is applied in the majority of cases, however if multiple
states or executive members are putting forward the same
proposal then the proposal is passed directly to the National
executive for approval or rejection.
State Associations / Executive Members
Rules Committee
National Executive ACTA
Generally the process for making a change to the rules takes at
least two years.
How does the Rules Committee communicate with the members?
In the past most of the communication with the shooters has been
done through the state associations and open meetings, however,
we now plan to communicate directly with the membership by
articles in the CTSN in regards to proposals as the previous system
wasn't effective.
If you have any questions in regards to rules please call Mark
McInnes on 0428 922 956.

Annual 2 Day shoot report 16 & 17th August 2003
After years of drought the skies opened up Friday midday and
rained all night, (approx 40mm of rain) causing great difficulty to
shooters trying to negotiate the last kilometre of black soil to the

and after welcoming the local member Vaughan Johnson MLA
shooters and other guests the shoot got under way at 9.30am, with
Mr Vaughan Johnson firing the first shot to officially open the
Carnival. Good conditions heavy cloud and light breeze, with 108
shooter competing on day one with 5 traps operating.

Gold Coast Clay Target Club
Annual August Carnival 16 & 17 Aug 2003
There could not have been any more planning put into the recent
Annual Trap Carnival held at the Gold Coast in "beautiful"
Queensland. All the heavy work was done: The old BBQ was
demolished and the veranda extended; Stratco assisted with a new
roof to cover the extension, walkways were built to assist
wheelchair access and heaps of new turf was laid. New lighting
was erected in the car park and working bee's were an almost
weekly occurrence, for the usual small bunch of workers. The
shooting background was "groomed" and the grass was brought
under control.
there was a lazy breeze that hung around for most of that time as
well.
Now I hear you say Yuk! What a horrible weekend, how bl**dy
uncomfortable or words to that effect, and you are probably correct
to a degree but 104 competitors were treated to one of the
smoothest weekend competitions in recent memory. The club is

the time they arrived we thought they had some "special
information" that an ark may be required before the end of the
weekend.
Saturday morning confirmed that in general, shooters need their
heads read, as visitors arrived from New South Wales, Victoria,
Tasmania and Western Australia. We had the potential for strong
competition in the Veterans, Juniors and Ladies sections,
confirming that the above mentioned problem is wide spread.
The Gold Coast 100 target D/B Championship (incorporating the
JB Bauman Gold Cup) took the attention of all and when the noise
stopped there were only 2 shooters intact, they were Arthur Turner
from Griffith and Scotty Trafford from the Sunshine Coast. By the
time we got a drink and found a chair to watch the battle it was
over, and Arthur was the victor with a score of 111/111.
The other shoot off s provided a bit more of a tussle and the
winners were:
AA 1st Scott Trafford: Sunshine Coast 110/111 AA 2nd Stuart
Browning: Tasmania 160/161 A lst Philipos Zapatis: Brisbane
120/123 A 2nd David Cooper: Hobart 119/123 B 1st Peter Rado:
Werribee 96/100 B 2nd Platon Zapantis: Brisbane 110/116 C lst
Matthew Waugh: Warwick 94/100 C 2nd Paul McDonald: Gold
Coast 91/100.
An extra event and a number of warm showers and dry clothes
changes successfully rounded off the afternoon.
The very successful evening entertainment format of recent years
was re-organised this year and we were very lucky it was. Those
who decided to stay were treated to a most enjoyable evening (it's
just amazing just what the balloon blower was capable of, it
appeared the poodle population was destined to explode judging by
the balloon statues on the tables). The DJ set up after tea and kept
the music flowing until the early hours.
Did I mention tea?? Yes , well the one thing that was not reorganised was the TenderPlus Extravaganza provided by our vice
president Vince Vaina and his capable band of chefs and helpers.
Two of the Gold Coast members must have been researching a
"Viagra substitute" as we have not seen as many oysters consumed
by two people in one extended sitting. If the research was
successful is a mystery, one thing that was for sure is they
resembled a pair of "pregnant pups" as they departed from the
dining table with their wives.
Sunday dawned with more of the same, a beautiful breakfast in the
clubhouse and a liberal use of headache pills (I think the rain drops
were very heavy last night.) The early morning team had
resurrected the club facilities and it was looking a picture again.
The optimists were suggesting the weather would lift and others
were betting that the Roma boys would probably sail up to the
clubhouse.
First Up was the 30 target George Sckaf Points Championship and
the Gold Coasters were showing they were firing on all cylinders,
well most cylinders, John Mack and Ivan Litvinov were locked on
149/150. Ivan showed on this occasion he is becoming a force to be
reckoned with as he claimed Overall with an excellent 170/17 1.

The Lee Hogath Silver Cup was up next and this year was more
significant than others, as Lee (the wife of a previous president)
had recently passed away following a long illness. At the end of 30
targets not one shooter cleaned the card, however that bloke, Tony
Bradshaw from Gympie was the only one to shoot 29/30 to place his
name on the cup for Overall.

By the start of the 50 target Tenderplus Continental
Championship it was apparent it might stop raining, sometime.
There was a squad of shooters who showed their capabilities and
shot the possible and they gathered for the final time during the
November 2003
weekend to decide a winner. Stuart Browning from Tassie finally
won a shoot-off on 65/65 to claim Overall from Colin Witt.
The placing's looked like this:
AA 1st Colin Witt: Gold Coast 64/65 AA 2nd Arty del Ben: NSW

As the clouds broke the High Guns appeared to be decided:
Overall: Stuart Browning Tasmania 275/280
Stuart was the inaugural winner of the Agnes & Bill Witt trophy (a
lovely crystal perpetual bowl) donated by Colin & Gael Witt. Stuart
also had to ponder how he would get a 240litre frost free fridge
home to Tassie. The grade winners had yet another dilemma, could
they be lucky enough to get one of the beautiful Beretta shooting
jackets to fit them "off the rack?" Tony B reckoned that two would
just about go around.

MARTHAGUY CUP
The prestigious 3rd Marthaguy Cup Competition was held
10/8/2003, with teams from Warren & Illawarra Gun Clubs being
present. John and Vicki Wild from Merenele played hosts to Ashley
Marks property Ninedool.
Illawarra had been stationed at Ninedool since Friday 8th and
were soundly defeated in the Inter Club Shoot on Saturday by a
"rejuvenated" Warren Team, so they were keen to do well.
However John Wild had once again set a very testing layout with
broken targets hard to come by.
John and Alan, the legendary Illawarra Cooks once again prepared
lunch and following the "sky rocket" the games began.
Mick Shields was in fine form and took the A grade High Gun.
However even his effort was not good enough as the Illawarra
Team took home the cup.
Another great day. Thanks to John and Vicki and all the
participants.

Canberra International Clay Target Club
Raiders Day - 18th August
Raiders players and friends, briefing by Bevan Brown.
Canberra International was the venue for "An Introduction to Clay
Target Shooting" for the Raiders Rugby Football Club Players
(NRL). Thirty three players participated in a 10 tgt DTL
familiarisation and 15 tgt competition, while family and friends
provided encouragement and support (and some barracking). Ron
Quamby, The Spit Roast Specialist, served a delicious roast lunch.
Bevan and Bruce Brown of "Fyshwick Firearms" and "Shooters
Wholesale Warehouse" provided equipment.
Bevan and Bruce also sponsored the day with
cartridges provided by Winchester.
We are not sure who the winner was (I think
the judiciary are still examining the tapes)
but all seemed to enjoy the pleasant and
relaxed atmosphere. Media coverage was by
Channel 7 and the Canberra Times.
Our thanks go to the sponsors; Club members
who prepared the grounds; and the doze or so
members who attended on the day and
provided supervision and tuition.

Psychological Skills for Shooting
by Michael Kruger-Davis
Since the Nationals I haven't shot. I damaged a tendon in
my right arm during the double barrel and have not been
able to pick up a shotgun without pain since. I have missed
several shoots I was planning to attend, so on the advice of
my physio (which was to go back shooting - surely you can
deal with a bit of pain) I decided to attend the 23rd
Australian Police and Services Championships in Wagga.
I often talk to parents, teachers and clients about what our needs
are as human beings. William Glasser, a famous American
Psychologist, believed that humans had five main needs that were
necessary for our existence and wellbeing. The first of these is a
primitive desire to survive; find food, shelter and sex. The other
four however are not as basic and if we do not meet these needs (or
if they are met in a negative fashion) then this will tend to lead to
maladaptive behaviours. The first of these needs is belonging. We
all as humans want to belong or be part of a group. This group may
be a family, social group sporting group, church group or a group of
work colleagues.
The second need is for approval. We all need to know that those
around us, those whose opinions we respect and value approve of
us and our behaviour. The third need is for freedom. This usually
means the freedom to make choices or being empowered to choose
those things that will make us a well adapted person. The final
need that human beings have is the need for fun. If you enjoy what
you're doing you will learn and improve, and life will be more
enjoyable.

The 23rd Australian Police and Services Championships met all of
Glasser's needs. Shooters whether Police, services or civilians felt
that they belonged. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming:
like being at your favourite club. Approval was afforded to all; it
didn't matter what grade you were, what handicap you were on,
what score you shot, whether you were Police, Services or civilian;
you were made to feel important because you were there. With
respect to freedom; I was not aware of anyone who was made to feel
disempowered because they didn't want to shoot single barrel in
gale force winds or night skeet with fluro targets that had black
undersides.
Targets seem to become far more difficult when all you can see is
the rim that is facing you. As for fun; well the camaraderie
(especially those police who had been attending for the past 23
years), the program which included night skeet and crazy points,
the weather and the constant ribbing and banter between people,
without being malicious or vindictive, provided a recipe for a great
time. I've always wondered why people like going to the veterans
games or masters games, etc as opposed to the big shoots and now
I know why; belonging, approval, freedom and most of all fun.
What a great four days. The organisers did a great job. Good
targets, good prizes (thanks to the sponsors), good food and great
venue. What the organisers didn't plan for was the additional
benefits that I (and I'm sure so many others) got out of the shoot.
You cannot plan to make sure people enjoy themselves, you can't
plan to make people feel sense of belonging and acceptance, but
when your able to provide these needs to those that attend you will
always have people feeling positive and happy about being part of
the event.
What I haven't mentioned was that the weather decided to throw
a real tantrum and the scores, well, they were nothing more than
ordinary. But that didn't appear to be a problem for anyone because
with all these other needs being met, big scores were not the focus.
Last year I wrote an article called "Is wining everything?" where I
examined the difference between being product orientated (going
for gold) and being process orientated (going for gold but enjoying
the journey if you don't win) at the Police Championships both
orientations were there. Shooters were trying to win but it wasn't
their only desire because their needs of approval, belonging,
freedom and fun were being adequately met by making the process
enjoyable.
If our sport is to grow, then what the Police Championships offered
should be an integral part of club, zone, state and national
competitions; shooters of every grade should want to attend
because being there makes them feel good. Maybe we should all
give thought as to how we can make people welcome at our own
clubs, zones and state championships and try to encourage more
participation; from all shooters C, B and A grades and not just AA
shooters. A measure of achievement would then be seen in the
participation by everyone and not just big breaks. So if you're a B
or C grade shooter who feels that your not good enough for the
Nationals or State carnivals, think again. Forget your scores and
do something positive for your mental well being; be part of the fun
and the community.
I don't know how the organisers of the Police Championships will
evaluate the success of the four days of competition (and I'm sure
they haven't thought of looking at it from a psychological point of
view) but my belief is that it was a big success. Thank you, I
enjoyed my time and I look forward to when I can compete at the
next Police and Services Championships.

2003 METROPOLITAN JUNIOR CLASSIC
CHAMPIONSHIP
This year, we hosted our Annual Junior Classic on Saturday the
27th of July.
Once again the championship was a success, with junior shooters
travelling from all over Victoria and even Hay, NSW. Numbers
were down this year, however, that didn't discourage the keen
juniors competing. Junior shooters were only charged $10
nominations for all three events and received free cartridges for
the full day.
Conditions on the day were fine
and competitors all were
relieved when a few minutes
after the final shot was fired, the
rain began to fall.
Scores throughout the day
where impressive. We had four
divisions, sub junior girls/boys
aged 12-14 yrs and junior
girls/boys aged 15-17 yrs.

Mathoura Shoots Victorian
North East Zone Tower
Friday night the 26th of September and shooters arrived at
Mathoura Gun Club to compete against each other for the
Sash and satisfaction of winning the 25 Target Victorian
NEZ Single Barrel Night Tower event, shooters covering a
wide area including Castlemaine, Euroa, Echuca etc.
A very cold night with rain persisting for most of the time made
shooting conditions fairly difficult for everyone.
The first event was a 10 target points score tower cash divide, two
shooters dropping one target to be three points down D Honebone
(Castlemaine ) and L Fitzpatrick ( Euroa ) on 27/30, M Roberts (
Echuca ) 2nd on 26/30.
Event two the main event for the night and Castlemaine shooter D
Honebone showing all others how to win with a very good score of
22/25 considering the conditions, picking up his Overall Sash and
trophy, B grade a local shooter R Kerslake on an also good score of
21/25, C Grade L Fitzpatrick on 19/25, rain and night shooting
making it too hard for any possibles to be shot.
Tower events over. the next event a 15 Target Double Barrel,
graded with no overall so no shootoff required for the only two
shooters who shot a possible.

affiliated clubs firing throughout the
country. The movement is very vigorous,
total membership being probably second of
the various firearms organisations only to
the National Rifle Associations. The sport
has taken over almost completely from its
predecessor, live bird shooting (which latter
is, it is understood, now generally illegal).
Equipment in the way of guns, is quite
severely limited by the general rule of the
Association prohibiting the use of shot
charges of greater weight than one and oneeighth ounces, and, to a lesser extent, by the
restriction of size of shot to not larger than
No. 6 (English measurement). In view of the
general popularity of the 12 gauge gun, the
general scarcity of ammunition for larger
gauges, and the illegality (in NSW and
Victoria, at any rate, in which States are
constructed the greatest strength of the
movement) of guns of gauge larger than 10,
this has come to mean that the 12 gauge is
the standard gun for this sport. Of course,
other gauges, notably 16, are used to some
extent; but the 12 enjoys an overwhelming
popularity. And rightly so: the shorter the
shot column as it passes through the bore,
the better the pattern delivered at the
target. The 12 gauge thus has a distinct
advantage over the smaller bores, and it is in
fact the largest bore which is generally used
and sold and for which, as I mentioned,
ammunition
is
readily
obtainable.
Recognizing this, special grade trap
ammunition is manufactured in this gauge.

The need for sustained hitting power and
dense patterning is one dictated by the size
of the target and the ranges at which the
game is shot. Clay pigeons are in the form of
a saucer-shaped disc, some four inches in
diameter and little more than an inch deep.
Quite frequently the bird is thrown side on
tot he shooter so that his pattern must be
extremely dense if he is to have a reasonable
chance of a kill (which requires the breaking
off from the clay a piece of substantial size a
target which is merely "dusted" being called
"lost"). Generally, one pellet will do it, if of
sufficient size, but even this calls for dense,
even patterning.
behind the trap, while more expert shots are
progressively handicapped, so that their
initial ranges may be of the order of twentyfive yards, perhaps even more in some
instances. As the trap is protected by a bank
and is thrown at an angel such that I is at
least ten feed from the ground at ten yards;
flight, and not more than fifteen feet at
fifteen yards flight, it follows that it is at
about twenty yards' range before coming
into the field of view of the scratch marker,
possibly thirty yards from the limit marker.
The time taken in pointing, the gun tripping
the trigger and for the shot to reach the
target probably means that clay pigeons are
shot at a minimum range of thirty yards.
The scratch markers stand sixteen yards
The combination of relatively long range
(which may be quite long range for the back
marker), small target (as little as about four
square inches) and tough target (shot
smaller than No. 7 cannot be depended upon
to break the clays consistently, even with
multiple hits) presents a three-fold problem
of selection of choke, full pattern with
adequate hitting power, and ease of hitting.
Now the maximum spread of a fully choked
12-gauge gun at thirty yards is nominally 26
inches; in practice, I have seen few guns that
would even approach this degree of
tightness and regularity. It is probably more
of the order of thirty inches for a very good
gun and a circle of this diameter has an area
of 707 square inches; to ensure a pellet to at
least every two square inches (to ensure
hitting) this calls for a pattern of 353 pellets.
One and one-eighth ounces of No. 6 contain
306 pellets, so this size is hardly plentiful
enough, even in a really good full choke, for
even the scratch man; the limit man is likely
to need 481 pellets to secure a distribution of
only one pellet to four square inches over his
1965-square inch spread of shot. No. 7
contains about 284 pellets to the one and
one-eight ounce load, and will break clay at
fifty yards; hence this seems to give the best
compromise between density of pattern and
breaking power. I notice that it is a very
popular size at the traps, though many
shooters continue to use No. 6.
As most clays are rising birds, the most
suitable gun for the purpose is one that
tends to throw high. A gun with little drop is
such a gun; hence such a gun is generally
selected. This helps to account for the
popularity of the over and under, which
tends to throw higher than the side-by-side
double. This popularity, however, tends as
yet to be concentrated in NSW; while sideby-side guns are quite rare at trapshooting
meets around Sydney. I would think that the
current series, attended by shooters from all
over the Commonwealth, would show that
half the guns in use are over-and-under
doubles, and the remainder are about
equally side-by-side doubles and selfloaders.
It seems strange to me, with the need for
high-shooting guns, that the very short
barrel does not seem to be favoured greatly.
Most of the guns I have seen at these
meetings would have barrels around
twenty-eight to thirty inches in length; it
would seem that the twenty-five inch gun
would be superior for the purpose. Tradition,
perhaps; the very short barrel has been seen
very little here.
A matter of technique also influences this
need for a gun which shoots high. Unlike
field technique, where it is regarded as good
practice to swing past the bird, hitting the
trigger as the muzzles blot it out, I am
informed by expert trapshooters that one
never so blots out the bird at the trap. The
reason for this appears to be largely that one
very frequently is allowed a second barrel
should one miss with the first: reference
back to the preceding comment in regard to
pattern-density will show that such a miss

ladies’ events, with Sid Lamb, Single Barrel
Champion for 1956.

must be recognised immediately and the
second barrel, if required, be touched off at
once. Blotting out the bird could occasion
sufficient delay to lose it with the second
barrel, even if perfectly centred; there is
sufficient difficulty already, particularly for
the backmarker (who, it seems to me already
depends to quite a large degree on luck to
get a pellet into the clay) without
unnecessarily extending the range. So the
trapshooter keeps his bird in view at all
times, I notice that not a few shooters tend to
send along the second barrel even though
there has been a clean kill with the first; no
doubt in such circumstances the movement
is purely reflex.
Equipment, then, as selected by the
shooters, seems to be in line with what the
theory of the matter would indicate to be the
optimum; a fully choked 12-gauge, most
frequently of over-and-under design,
followed in popularity about equally by the
side-by-side double and the self-loader, using
carefully loaded ammunition containing
NO.6 or No. 7 shot. It would seem to me, not
as an expert trapshooter (that game is too
expensive for my pocket), but weighing all
the considerations, the barrels could with
advantage be shortened considerably, by up
to six inches, with consequent improved
scores.
Conditions for 1956 were, most regrettably,
little short of atrocious. Sydneysiders will
recall with bitterness the reprehensible
action of the Gumsuckers in exporting their
weather to us in February and March, and
stealing our own good Australian weather
for themselves (no doubt in the hope that,
should the Yarra stop flowing for a time, on
recommencing flow it might possibly revert
itself so that it no longer flows with the
bottom on the top). This was no doubt a plot
to persuade the authorities that the Olympic
Games had been set down for the correct
venue after all.
On the first day, Friday, 9th March, shooters
stood in up to three inches of water to fire
their rounds. On Saturday, 10th March, a
howling easterly early in the morning
veered into a southerly of equal intensity
later. Now Bankstown tracks face, more or

less, to the south; so that early left
quartering shots flared high before dropping
almost vertically, right quarterers came out
low and fast; I saw many a charge of shot
whistle harmlessly behind those rightquartering birds. Later, with the traps
throwing into the teeth of the wind, birds
came slowly, but flaring high, and very
nastily. A dull-grey background above the
dull-green belt of trees across the aerodrome
made it very difficult to pick up the targets
until they rose quite high, and were
therefore far out; Bankstown slopes away to
the south.
Come Monday, 12th March, and conditions
improved quite appreciably; winds were still
tricky, making the clays float and flare, but
light became much better as the day wore
on, to fall away again in mid-afternoon.
Tuesday, 13th March, the last day of the
shoot, was generally brighter, and winds
were of much lower intensity.

November 2003
This event required each competitor to fire
one shot at each of fifty visits to the tracks
kills only to count. In view of the atrocious
conditions, the winner, Sid Lamb, of NSW,
did extremely well to register a perfect score,
50 kills out of 50 shots. Hard on his heels
came the next three placegetters, who had to
shoot off for second, third and fourth; in
order, they ran J Newton Thomas (NSW - 64
kills from 65 shots), L Lupp (NSW - 63/65), L
Hasler (QLD - 63/65). Running down the
remaining trophy winners, in order, we have
G K King (QLD - 61/65), T Stone (QLD 57/60), K Cameron (QLD - 54/55), J Nunn
(QLD - 54/55), D Fleetwood (SA - 54/55), N
Mitchell (NSW - 48/50), T R Thompson
(NSW - 48/50), J Smith (QLD - 48/50), W
Mackay (NSW - 52/55), and C Nichols (NSW
- 52/55).
The 16 yard handicap award was not won,
due to rules, but W Duddy, of NSW, won the
17 yard handicap award with 46 out of 50, E
E Alberts took the 18 yard award with 45/50,
the 19 yard award went to R Jorgensen of
Victoria with 46/50, while the 20 yard and
over was won by D Cassin, of NSW, with
46/50.
The Ladies Trophy went to Miss Pam Coxon
of Queensland who registered 39 kills out of
her 50 shots.
A further trophy was available for
competitors from each State other than
NSW, to the best performer from each such
State, provided that his State had three or
more entries in the event. These went to B
Moore (QLD - 44/50), C Mudford (VIC 47/50), S Marshall (TAS - 51/55), R Mules
(SA - 45/50), C Ferguson (WA - 46/50), and K
Soames, Jnr, turned on the best performance
for NSW entrants with 51 out of 55. The
same restriction in regard to winning other
trophies in the event applied to these
winners.
Saturday, as mentioned, dawned dull and
windy, and 236 entrants lined up to contest
the Australian National Double Barrel
Championship. Another scratch contest, in
this event shooters are permitted to load
with two rounds, and if a miss with the first
barrel results the second may be fired. Two
points are awarded for a first barrel kill, on
point for a kill with the second try. Again
conditions called for two visits to the tracks.
25 clays to be shot at on each visit, for a total
possible point score of 100.
First price for this event is the J M (Jock)
Wilson Perpetual Cup (presented by Mr J M
Wilson, of Kew, Victoria, President of the
Australian Clay Pigeon Trapshooting
Association, conductors of the meet), with
fourteen more awards for placegetters,
handicap awards, ladies' trophy and
interstate trophies, exactly as for the Single
Barrel Championship.
This event again saw some very fine
shooting, despite the very poor conditions,
being won on a shoot-off by J W Raleigh, of
Queensland, with a score of 117/120. Other
placegetters, in order were W N Bullen
(NSW - 114/118), E R Ginty (NSW -115/120),
M Burgess (NSW - 114/120), S Marshall
(TAS - 95/100), C Nicholls (NSW - 95/100), N
Mitchell (NSW - 95/100), R W Moore (QLD 104/110). W Warren (NSW - 104/110), A Ray
(NSW - 104/110), J Meadway (NSW 104/110), J R Bushby (NSW - 104/110), J
November 2003
Nunn (NSW - 103/110), W Commins (NSW 112/120), L A Martin (NSW - 112/120).
The sixteen yard award was won by J
Simpson of NSW with a score of 92/100, the
17 yard by R Morris of NSW, with 93/100,
the 18 yard by D Burton of NSW, with
101/110, the 19 yard by W Catt of NSW with
93/100, while J Wishart of Victoria took the
20 yard and over award with a score of
111/120. Miss Pam Coxon of Queensland
again won the ladies trophy, scoring 77 out of
100.
For Queensland, T H Stone and J Smith
scored 92/100, R Hering took the award for
Victoria with a score of 111/120, the award
for Tasmanian shooters was shared, while R
Mules scored 90/100 in winning the South
Australian award and W Elliot of Western
Australia scored 91/100.Shot concurrently
with the Double Barrel Championships was
the Club Teams' Championship, teams to
consist of four men from any one affiliated
club, each of whom must reside within fifty
miles of the centre where the club is
situated. In the case of Sydney and
Melbourne shooters, such members must
shoot with the club nearest to their
permanent residence. Scores on the first 25
targets released to each competitor only
apply.
The winning team holds the Hartley
Perpetual Teams' Championship Cup for
twelve months, and each member receives a
trophy valued at not less than £5/5/-, these
awards coming from Hartley's Sports Stores,
Melbourne. The winner was Royal Aero Club
(NSW) with a total score of 184/200,
members of the winning team being C
Gibbons (46/50), C Nichols (47/50), Michael
(45/50), F R Hudson (45/50).
The thirty highest scorers (being Australian
citizens of at least twelve month's standing)
in
the Australian
Double
Barrel
Championship comprise the Australian
team to compete in a cable match for the
Mackintosh International Trophy against
teams from England, Ireland, New Zealand,
Scotland and Wales. This event calls for 100
birds in four visits to the tracks of 25 birds
each, a Double Barrel event with two points
for a first barrel kill and one for the second
barrel, fired from sixteen yards' rise, and
restricted to 21/2 inch cartridges with not
more than 1? ounces of No. 6 shot (English
measurement) and only the ten highest
scores count in the competition. Scores will
not be available for some time.
The highest scorer in the Australian Team, J
Nunn of Queensland, secured the Hartley
International High Gun Cup (presented by
Hartley's Ltd, Melbourne), which he will
hold for twelve months (or until the next
International Match) and a special trophy,
presented by the same firm, valued at £5/5/, together with the International High Gun
Sash. Second place was shared by S
Marshall of Tasmania and G Biggs of
Victoria.
In addition to these, each member of the
Australian team received a special
"International 1956" badge.
Following the International teams' Match
was the Eighth Grand Australian Handicap,
133 shooters competing from their
Association handicap marks for the first
prize of £50 and Sash (Sash donated by Mr J
M Tyquin, of Brisbane, Queensland), second
prize of £30, third prize of £20, and fourth to
thirteenth prizes of £10 each. This event
calls for forty targets under double barrel
conditions, with kills only counting in this
case, irrespective of whether one shot or two
is required.
Prize-winners, with their scores, were as
follows:- H. C. Hollow (Victoria - 40/40), R. A.
Richardson (Victoria - 39/40), A. N. McIntosh
(Queensland - 39/40), C. Poxon (Tasmania 39/40), E.H. Harris (NSW - 38/40), L.
Haseler (Queensland - 39/40), W. Reid (NSW
- 38/40), A. W. Headon (NSW - 39/40), J.
Strauss (NSW - 38/40), W. E. Willard, L.
Lupp, W. Gibbs, J. Seis, R. Powell, W.
Schooley and C. Owers, all with a score of
53/55.
Shot concurrently with the Grand
Australian
Handicap
was
the
Commonwealth Teams Match, comprising
teams of four men from any affiliated club,
scores off the first twenty targets released in
the Handicap counting. Each member of the
winning team receives a trophy from
Hartley's Ltd., Melbourne, valued at £5/5-.
This event was won by Hay Gun Club, with
a score of 368/400, individual scorers being J.
Headon, R. Headon, A. Headon and N.
Milliken, all with a score of 92/100.
Tuesday dawned, fairly bright, and will less
wind, and 175 shooters lined up for the
Champion of Champions Cup. Contrary to
the name of the event, no championship
qualifications are required for entry and I
think it could well be renamed "Australian
Open Championship" or something such; we
have come to know a Champion of
Champions match as one open only to club
champions. Be that as it may, the event calls
for 50 birds from 20 yards rise, under double
barrel conditions, kill only counting,
irrespective of whether one shot to two is
fired for a kill. The winner holds the
Mackintosh Perpetual Silver Cup for twelve
months and receives a replica of the
Champion of Champions Cup, the
A.C.P.T.S.A. Champion of Champions Sash,
and a Special Trophy valued at £30. Second,
third, fourth and fifth placegetters receive
trophies valued at £15, £10, £10, and £5,

VICTORIAN NORTH EAST ZONE TOWER SHOT AT ECHUCA
Sunday 31st of August a cold blustery day with showers, certainly
not recommended for good scores at Skeet and Tower shooting, but
a good round up of shooters arrived at the Echuca Clay Target Club
to test their skills against each other to try winning the Sashes and
cash trophy's on offer.
President Ron Traill thanked all shooters for their attendance and
wished them good shooting in the future and a safe trip home.
Event one was a fifty target skeet, and because of the variable
targets the best was a pair of 46s until Bill Eagle, a local Echuca
Member, came in with a 47 to take out the Overall Sash, $35 cash
and A Grade. B Grade was collected by Murray Roberts, an Echuca
member, with a 46 score picking up a nice $35 cash. A visitor from
Classifieds
B Eagle O/A Skeet
M Roberts O/A Tower
Queensland registered at the Clairmont club, G Gibbs, also
collecting $35 cash, took out C Grade.
Event one over and time for the NEZ D/B Tower shoot and the
weather had deteriorated even more with showers becoming more
frequent. After twenty five targets there was only two possibles on
the board, Murray Roberts and Norm Patterson, a visitor from
southern Victoria.
Shoot-off started and after another clean round still no winner,
another clean round and yet still no winner, four targets from
another 25 and Norm let one slip past him and it was all over, with
good shooting from both shooters in the adverse conditions.
Final results were, Murray Roberts taking Overall and A Grade
collecting a North East Zone Sash and a cash trophy of $25 on a
final score of 96/96, B Grade, another visitor from down south W
Horne on a score of 32/33, C Grade, local shooter and club secretary
Peter Sing with a score of 23/25, both B and C grades picking up
$25 as well.
