ISSN: 1321-3903 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.

Chris Gibson, Executive Officer ADVERTISING RATES As of the January issue of the Clay Target Shooting News (CTSN) there will be a 5% increase, rounded to the nearest dollar value, for all advertising in the CTSN. 2 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.

Graham Annesley, Member for Wagga Wagga Daryl Maguire and Australian Clay Target Association Executive Officer Chris Gibson discuss the prospects of building an International Standard Clay Target facility in Wagga Wagga. 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 Continued on page 4 DECEMBER 2011 – AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET NEWS 3 WACTA 2011 State Trap Carnival Continued from page 3 Teams. The wind had picked up slightly by this stage, and along with the nerves, this caused scores to be below par. The man of the carnival, Gary Kelly, came through to win the Points Score State Title, by shooting the only possible. State Junior DB sponsored by Roy Alexander 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 Dickson, Nathan Blake NEW MEMBERSHIP CATEGORIES As a result of discussion with the Queensland Anti Discrimination Authority the previous membership categories were ruled discriminatory.

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.

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.

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 FEBRUARY CTSN: EARLY CLOSING DATE FOR ADVERTISING AND EDITORIAL IS STRICTLY DECEMBER 14 Above: Rodolfo Vigano Silver, Michael Diamond Gold, Massimo Fabbrizi, Bronze Right: Kelly Coogan 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.

October long weekend, some indifferent weather at the State grounds at Wagga Wagga and over 300 competitors on hand, all made for an interesting 4 days of shooting.

Onto the Points Score for the afternoon and still in great weather conditions for possibles. After a short shoot off the winner was Brian Doyle from Hay with 214/214.

DECEMBER 2011 – AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET NEWS 9 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.

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. 10 AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS – DECEMBER 2011 ZZ SYDNEY AUSTRALIA COMPETITION Griffith Gun Club Casella Wines Annual 2 day DTL shoot Date: Friday 2nd September 2011.

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. Graham Duncan 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. The issues still missing are: 1947: Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec 1948: Jan/Feb, Mar, Apr, May, June, July, Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec 1949: Jan/Feb 1950: April If anyone can help by supplying these missing issues or even if you can give us a lead to follow up, please contact the ACTA office on 02 6938 2121 I will keep you informed of our progress. Jim Shepherd 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If you wish to purchase a copy please send cheque or money 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. 42 AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS – DECEMBER 2011 S.

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.

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.

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.

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. Murray Roberts For the 2012 Blue Book we have given it a facelift and have made a few slight changes. With these upgrades we have also had to increase the cost, they will now retail for $5 per book.

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 48 AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS – DECEMBER 2011 Tim Maher OA PS Steve Traill OA DB 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.

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.

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.

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.

Camping facilities available. 50mm of rain on Saturday DECEMBER 2011 – AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET NEWS 53 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. 54 AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS – DECEMBER 2011 80758 80759 80760 80761 80762 80763 80764 80765 80766 80767 80768 80769 80770 80771 80772 80773 80774 80775 80776 80777 80778 80779 80780 ACTA Welcomes New Members 80475 80476 80477 80478 80749 80750 80751 80752 80753 80754 80755 80756 80757 LAWRENCE E TARRANT C WOOD W CAMERER P DUNN N DUNN L DE LORENZO D BURRELL N COONEY H BANNONG D SHARROCK A SHARROCK Z MARTIN R BOURKE COWRA NICKOL BAY GERALDTON GERALDTON GERALDTON SOUTHERN TOOWOOMBA CONDOBOLIN KINGSTON SE MACARTHUR MACARTHUR HAY NAME Admas,T Atkins,S Barton, A HOME CLUB Albany Shoalhaven Tumut ACHIEVED AT WACTA Wagga NSWCTA Bearman,T Bird,A Booker,L Brown,N Busteed,B Campbell,M Ceely,C Chellas,M Craige,T Davis,C Davis,J Degaris,J Dickson,D Donoghue,M Dunnet,J Foster,S S/Australian Morewell Redcliffe Moree Gladstone Boorowa Downside Canowindra Busselton Charters Towers Townsville Castlemain Collie Treloar Busselton Warrnambool Wagga Korumburra Brisbane Moree Gladstone Boorowa NSWCTA Canowindra Edgehill C/Towers Townsville Wagga WACTA Tamworth Geraldton NSWCTA Goss,A Gough,R Townsville Townsville Atherton Townsville 2012 January 1 January 1 January 15 -
