ISSN: 1321-3903 It has been a very busy period with the Skeet Nationals, Board and Executive meetings, Australian International Shooting Limited (AISL) Extraordinary General Meeting and the Industry Forum all now behind us. Many Executive members have given days and sometimes weeks of their time to attend these meetings and events, over the last two months. I extend thanks to those that helped run the Skeet Nationals and attended the meetings recently. A very special thanks to those industry members who were able to participate in the forum organised between Board members and representatives of the firearms industry at Melbourne Gun Club on 13 June to explore ways to grow our sport. Thanks very much to the Melbourne club for making their rooms available for this purpose. The Forum raised some interesting items, some of which had previously been considered by the Executive but reacted to negatively by the membership. One such issue is that of Membership Retention. At the close of membership in 2011 our membership remained stable but we turned over about 16.5% of our number, ie we lost approximately that number of existing members and gained approximately the same number of new members. The welcome page in the back of the CTSN for new members is great but it doesn’t show our losses. Research by other sporting bodies has established that a turnover of about 10% is the norm. The single issue we considered, following input from industry, that could help retention is the way we collect our shooters registration fee. We currently rely on clubs to chase renewal, and remit to the Association. We are looking at ways to provide the service of membership renewal direct to the registered shooter allowing renewal online and also providing an invoice to each registered shooter when due. Following a recommendation from the Association Auditors, the ACTA has had a scoping document prepared for the new technology we would need to administer a system of this type, also integrating with our accounting program, membership database, and competition program. The benefits from this proposal could be immense, yet would still allow those without access or knowledge of online facilities to continue on as current. Early discussion has centered on rolling out a new system to some of the larger clubs and introduction to smaller clubs as time progresses. The industry Forum also suggested that an incentive to join new members should be introduced, with the incentive directed at the current member who introduces the new member. This is something we are looking at. Numerous other matters were openly discussed and we cannot print them all here, but one item that should interest all is that the feeling of the forum was that at the elite level, Down The Line (DTL) shooting is not so much a matter of skill but now one of stamina ie: Something needs to be done to reduce the length of shoot offs. Length of shoot offs and the high scores required to qualify for a shoot off were highlighted by the forum as a main contributor to the drift from DTL to the Simulated Field type disciplines where possibles are almost unknown. The input above combined with difficulties experienced this year at the Nationals, and the necessity to finish the Trap program by Sunday, resulted in a decision being made by the Executive as follows: “At the National Double Barrel event, the qualification and 1st 200 targets is shot off 15 metres, then 200 targets off 18 metres and the balance to be shot at 21 metres until finality.” General discussion within meeting. Motion carried. The Executive meeting saw some new faces with Michael Kruger-Davis (NSW) Geoff Moore (QLD) and Allan Kenny (TAS) joining the committee. We welcome them and thank the outgoing members, Bob Blake, Dennis Harwood and Brian Bailey for their time as members of your Executive. Ron Traill was re-elected as Vice President. Elaine Forward was elected to the Board replacing Allan Vilcins. We thank Allan for his input on the Board and for remaining as Chair of the Legal and Governance (L&G) Committee. Most other committees remained as is with Grounds co-opting Peter Haley, and the L&G Committee co-opting Kaye Hull, Neal Haydon and Kelvyn Prescott. A Judicial hearing was held on Friday the 15th of June following a complaint against Registered Shooter, Mr. Colin Kneebone, regarding an incident at the Skeet Nationals. The complaint was partially upheld, and Mr. Kneebone received a recorded reprimand and is required to write a letter of apology within 14 days to the complainant. (I am a great believer in the saying that justice needs to be seen to be done and that is why I have included this in my column. I do not believe these matters should be considered as sensitive and not for publication) A Board recommendation to the Executive suggesting we co-opt a person to the Board with Continued on page 2 AUGUST 2012 – AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET NEWS 1 National President’s Notes Continued from page 1 Marketing and Promotion experience was adopted and we now ask that any person with experience in these matters with an interest in helping the Association contact the Executive Officer. The results of the poll conducted at the Skeet Nationals as agreed to at the informal skeet meeting in relation to shooting the 100 target events in one visit or two, are shown below: Two visits 106, One visit 25, Did not care 6. Whilst the Association is not run by poll, the above results, considered with the number of elderly members experiencing problems, resulted in the following decision. “100 target skeet events to be shot in two visits to the layout other than the doubles which will be shot in one visit”. Motion carried. (This applies only to the events shot at the Skeet Nationals) The ACTA is having an ongoing problem with some clubs extending their credit terms well above 30 days. It is very important for the Association to be able to provide credit account facilities to clubs, so please ensure your club keeps its account with the ACTA up to date. Most will receive this magazine in mid July so on behalf of the Association membership we wish both our Olympians and our World DTL team best wishes and safe travelling. Until next month, Executive Officer’s Report The ACTA is about to conduct the Junior Development Camp for the July school holidays. Normally we only take 12 students however due to the positive response and the number of applicants who met the criteria it has been decided to take 20 applicants. This will cause some small changes, however the opportunity to assist the development of so many young shooters will help the standard of shooting in the ACTA in the future. Attendees at the Junior Development Camps provide their own transport costs to the camp and the ACTA provides accommodation, meals and coaching as part of the development of Juniors in the sport. Once again the magazine has been overwhelmed with advertising and club articles for this edition. Some articles have been held over from the last edition and so the reviews which we have will be saved for the next edition as well as the report and photo’s from the Skeet nationals. Whilst it is good to have so many items for the magazine it is not normally the case. We also wish the teams for the DTL World Championships in Wales and the Olympic shooters the best of luck and good shooting for their efforts over the next 6 weeks in preparing for and competing in these events. Their shooting is what inspires many young shooters to be better.

The weather was kind to us all weekend, it was cool 18-16 deg. C, but sunny, very little breeze. The numbers were the worst I have ever seen at this shoot in my time doing the shoot marshal’s job and for the quantity and quality of trophies & sashes, it was very disappointing for the hard working committee and generous sponsors to only see 52 shooters turn up for the weekend. Maybe it is a sign of the times. Anyway, a good time was had by all that attended, with good comments about the trophies and sashes up for grabs, the excellent full fluro orange targets and the great background, the weather, the fantastic meals cooked by the workers in the kitchen, the well stocked bar and the Calcutta night on Saturday evening . The first event for the weekend was a 30tgt champion of champions medley shot off 18mtrs. This event was sponsored by long time sponsor Rick Jones of Silver City Working Dog and the results were Overall Ross Walsh 74/75, 1st AA Darryn Nicholls 98/100, 2nd AA David Lemmich 96/100 and 3rd AA W Hawker, 1st A Robert Cook 49/50, 2nd A John Byrnes 48/50 and 3rd A L Gibson 67/75, 1st B Sean McCarthy 73/75, 2nd B Grant Bollen 48/50 and 3rd B P Allen 45/50, 1st C Dennis Buyrn 43/50, 2nd C Bruno Mantesso 41/50 and 3rd C Norm Butler 39/50, Ladies Deserie Baynes SEPTEMBER CTSN: CLOSING DATE FOR ADVERTISING AND EDITORIAL IN THE SEPTEMBER CTSN IS STRICTLY JULY 20 4 47/50, Veterans Wayne Channing 63/75, 1st Jnr Jared Nicholls 44/50, 2nd Jnr Billy Baynes 42/50.

The Wangaratta Clay Target Club had volunteers from the club who took students through an induction on using shot guns, and then had the students on the shooting range to test their skills, for most this was the first time using a gun and what an awesome experience it was! While some students were initially apprehensive, after a couple of shots were fired, the students were keen to have another go, and as their confidence built up the more moving clay targets they hit. What a great experience, and even for some of the CARN representatives this was their first time using a shot gun! The Wangaratta Clay Target Club does a fantastic job in facilitating opportunities like this for students, and through CARN on many occasions have also provided the opportunity for people with a disability to have an opportunity to participate in clay shooting. If your school or organisation is interested in participating in clay target shooting you can contact The Centre’s CARN on 5721 0200, or the Wangaratta Clay Target Club President on 5727 3794.

Another Echuca member shooting well on the day was Ian Gebhardt, collecting a cash return for shooting a 68/75 in the Points Score cash event winning the A Grade 1st place, and Ian also secured the A Grade cash dividend after shooting an 25/25 score in the Double Barrel event. Nathan Zechner claimed 1st in B Grade in the DB after shooting a 20/25, and junior Echuca member Noah Calandro shot an excellent 22/25 to get the cash dividend for C Grade. Windy at for May Club Shoot A strong gusty south wind, and a very cold temperature, made high scores almost impossible at the Echuca Clay Target Club’s May shoot. Never the less two local members stood out from the rest of the shooters, Stephen Atkins and his son Ryan had a day out, combining to show their skill in the Deauville Doubles Championship, shooting an unbeaten 20 pair to collect their Sashes and trophies for first place, Nathan Zechner and Echuca member David Cox only dropped one pair, and that 19/20 score earned them the 2nd place trophies. Steve also showed a clean pair of heels in the Double Rise Championship, shooting once again an unbeaten score, 36/40 was a good enough total for him to claim the Overall winners sash and 1st place in AA Grade. College Girls on Target Echuca Clay Target Club hosted a class of year nine girl students from Echuca College, accompanied by their teacher, Petra Ogden, keen to try their hand at the sport of clay target shooting. Visiting the club on the 14th and 18th of May, the girls were given an insight into the safety rules employed in the sport, and on the safe and correct procedure to handle a firearm, and then on both occasions allowed to shoot at ten targets in single barrel mode. The main concern of the girls, almost all having never held or fired a shotgun before, was that the gun was going to “kick” them and the noise was going to be intolerable. After explaining that the shotguns were of a very high quality, designed against recoil, and they were going to use light cartridges, and with the supply of ear plugs for all, the Stephen & Ryan Atkins 1st D/D Steve also won OA DR girls relaxed and listened to their coaches on the correct way to aim at and to break a clay target. Club members elected to utilise the Skeet shooting layouts to enable the use of shorter, lighter guns and the ease of shooting targets from the number seven stand. And even on day one it was obvious to the coaching members that some of the girls were listening to what they were saying, as quite a few ended up shooting four or five of the targets, and that score out of ten, in single barrel mode is really quite good, especially never having used a gun before that day. Day two saw some of the girls improve on their previous scores, and after totalling the scores out of twenty there was a clear winner, without the need for a shoot off, Jordyn Coutts, led all others with an excellent total of 12/20, and that earned her sincere congratula- Other results: 25 tgt Points Score, AA 1st Luke Torney 86/90, B Nathan Zechner 71/75, C Barry Rogers 51/75. 20 Pair Double Rise, A Alan Patten 28/40, B Nathan Zechner 23/40, C Noah Calandro 13/40. tions from all in attendance, and a High Gun Certificate Award from the club.

Thirty five shooters joined in the fun for we had time to kill as our specially invited chef Danny Craig, was cooking up a storm in the Weber for our tea. With Club house tables now set with white cloths and donated bottles of wine being enjoyed by those who had decided to stay, the Club house was abuzz with chattering and laughter as shooters ‘let their hair down’ at the end of the day. A delicious tea of roast hogget, roast vegetables plus all of the trimmings was followed by fruit salad and ice cream. Many thanks to Danny for his chef skills there were many who went back for ‘seconds’ of the meat and gravy!

Matt Williamson, Graham Armour, Bruce Ping Kee, Vince Corcoran, Scott Brereton and Frank Binding shared second in B Grade with Stan Kurkievicz B Grade 16 Kerry Miller DB Champ with sponsor Leah Beaumont President Mike Sullivan with Lad H Gun Nancy Davis Dave Conduit with the Marrangon & Cannell Shield to Phil Westbury 24/25’s. Chris Doust skinned C grade with that score from Junior Ben Pitman 22/25. Jeff Lowndes A joined AA’s Phillip Westbury, Matt Colley, Mark Formaggin, Ian McDonald, Tony Ryder, Glen Kable, Peter Holmes and Stewart Thompson in the shoot off for overall in Event 2 30T Medley 10DB, 10SB, 10PS sponsored by member Peter McKenzie after all had shot the possible 50/50. Inverell’s Matt Colley won the event with 100/100. Glen Kable 99/100 was 1st in AA with Ian McDonald 97/100 second. Jeff Lowndes 73/75 won A from Scott Smith 49/50. B Grade went Scott Brereton 49/50 from Danny Green 48/50 while young Ben Pitman 47/50 found himself second to Chris Doust 49/50 in C grade. The main event of the first day 50T DB Championship sponsored by Scott Brereton and Leah Beaumont of Casino Tyre Professionals was no different to the first two. Stan Kurkiewicz from the Gold Coast shot the only possible in B Grade joining ten AA’s and two A’s in the shoot off for overall and although he dropped out after 14 extra targets achieved a personal best break earning his 50 Badge. Just when the Shoot Marshall turned on the lights so Kerry Miller and Glen Kable could continue their battle after 190/190, they decided to call it a day and share the spoils of Overall and AA, Ballandean’s Tony Rogers, last year’s DB Champion, was second in AA on 171/172. Scott Smith 135/136 won A from Harold Batson 67/68. Matt Williamson was second in B grade with 49/50 and Chris Doust 48/50 winning yet another C grade prize from Peter Chapman 45/50. Sunday was a very different day. It was dull and overcast and the effect of the conditions was reflected in the scoring Suffolks Outdoor Sports (Chris Doust) and Beretta Australia were sponsors of the 30 Target Points Score event won by Kim Nealon 96/96 after a very brief shoot off with Matt Colley 95/96 when they were the only two to record possibles. Glen Kable was 2nd in AA with 146/147. First in A grade was Jeff Lowndes 89/90 from Scott Smith 88/90. Danny Green who shot 29 of the 30 targets single barrel scoring 87/90 was first in B from Matt Williamson 92/99. Ben Pitman 74/93 must have been really pleased that Chris Doust 77/93 was elevated to B Grade after this event when he ran second to him in C Grade again. He was even more pleased when Chris gave him the slab of RC cartridges that was part of the prize. It should be mentioned that Chris, proprietor of Suffolks Outdoor Sports Store and a major sponsor, has shot thousands of practice targets since joining in November last year. In order to get used to his new DT11 he shot something like 2500 practice targets in the preceding month. The club’s banker the Bank of Queensland provided some of the cash prizes in the 30T Single Barrel which was won by Dickie Bennett 45/45, Kerry Miller 44/45 won AA from Paul Batson 38/39 after a shoot off which included Brisbane’s Stewart Thompson. Stewart was somewhat unlucky, after shooting possibles in three of the six events and only leaving with a share of the cash divide. A score of 33/35 secured A Grade for Jeff Lowndes after a shoot off with Frank Binding 32/35. Warren Beddoes 28/32 narrowly avoided an invitation to join the famous “paw-paw” club losing to DJ Milligan 29/32 Jaco Pieterse HC winner Theo Pieterse Junior HC AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS – AUGUST 2012 Junior HG Ben Pitman JGlen Kable AA HG Scott Smith A Grade HG Paul Batson OA HG with Dickie Bennett sponsor in the shoot off for B Grade. Leah Beaumont shot a creditable 27/30 winning C Grade from Troy Daley. It is not known if the wide grin on Caboolture’s Jaco Pieterse’s face was because he was the only one to shoot 30/30 in Sunday’s major event, a 30T Handicap sponsored by Wal Murray and Co First National Real Estate or because his son, Theo was in the shoot off for 2nd to 5th with six others who had scored 29’s. After a brief shoot off which only lasted 16 targets, Terry Preston 39/40 was 2nd, Peter Holmes 38/40 3rd, Scott Smith 34/36 4th and Matt Williamson 44/46 5th. Theo Pieterse was awarded a prize for the best handicap score by a junior shooter. Sponsor & B Grade HG winner Scott Brereton C Grade HG winner and sponsor Chris Doust The overall High Gun sponsored by Dickie Bennett was won by Paul Batson, a former member at Richmond River, scoring 290/297 after a brief shoot off with Glen Kable who had to be content with AA. Scott Smith 264/275 was A Grade High and Scott Brereton 274/297, B grade after a shoot off with Danny Green. The readers of this article will not be surprised that Chris Doust collected his first sash the C Grade High Gun. Popular local, Nancy Davis took home another sash and some handcrafted pottery tea-pots donated by Mike and Letta Sullivan for winning the Ladies High Gun.

Richmond River sincerely thanks the sponsors that made the shoot such a successful one. The effort by club members in keeping traps filled, running the office, keeping score boards and books updated, those that brought the cakes and slices provided for morning and afternoon teas, catering staff and those that cleaned up after the shoot was exceptional and shows just what can be achieved when there is teamwork and organisation. The shoot could not have been successful however without the attendance of the visiting shooters, some making their first but hopefully not last visit to Lismore.

Tents, caravans and Winnebago’s were set up ready for a great weekend of shooting and socialising. Shooters brought lots of shells, (in case of a shoot off), food and refreshments for the evenings, devoted families who doubled as cheer squads and even the family pooches. It was bound to be a great family weekend. Registrations completed, books and money handed over and 80 competitors were ready to head out to the traps. Shooters arrived from our surrounding clubs of Port Macquarie, Kempsey, Coffs Harbour along with those from the Newcastle area, up to the NSW /Qld boarder, down to NSW Clay Target Club in Sydney. It was wonderful to see the support from shooters making the effort to travel to the Manning Valley. Taree Wingham Clay Target Club is proud to have the following sponsors supporting their biggest and most prestigious shoot of the year. The committee was pleased with the sponsorship but not as much as the shooters who were competing to take home the prizes. Taree Wingham Clay Target Club would like to thank the sponsors for their support, and trust they will see fit to do so in the future. Thankyou to:Robert & Libby Clarke Flying Fox Fifty C/ship, G.B.Corsivia ANZAC Handicap, Leicht’s Tyre & Auto Double Barrel Continental C/ship, RedPoint Single Barrel C/ship, Bourke’s Transport Industries PS C/ship, G.B.Corsivia Overall High Gun, Whites Hardware Taree Champion of Champions, Lesley Langer Ladies High Gun, Michael McDonnell Juniors & Veterans High Gun. Our first event on the Saturday was the 25 target G.B.Corsivia ANZAC Handicap. There were three shooters who were clean after their 25 targets and a few guys who had dropped only one target. The conditions were a little challenging first thing in the morning however, the good shooters always rise to the top when it gets a little tough. The final results were: 5th Jim Mortys 36/38, 4th Craig Norman 37/38, 3rd Arthur Minter 25/26, 2nd Tony Norris 29/30, 1st Bruce Smith 30/30. Terry Duck with Peter Holmes Vet HG & OA PS winner The second event of the day was the 25 target Bourke’s Transport Industries Points Score Championship. With the breeze just starting to pick up a few second barrels were pulled or a target or two were Cesar Diaz, Therese & Kim Nealon Peter Fitzalan & his wife 18 AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS – AUGUST 2012 dropped, however, Peter Holmes and David Batson showed most of us how it was all done, ending up shooting off for Overall after their clean rounds. The standard in all grades was very high indeed with only a point or two the difference separating first and second. The final results were: Overall Peter Holmes 84/84, AA Grade 1st Harold Batson 81/84, 2nd Kevin Thompson 75/78, A Grade 1st Craig Norman 75/78, 2nd Libby Clarke 74/78, B Grade 1st Arthur Minter 74/78, 2nd Timothy Rapley 72/75, C Grade 1st Leah Beaumont 71/75, 2nd Todd Wilson 62/75. Shane Pinkerton The third event for the day was the Leicht’s 1st Cont, 2nd C Flying Fox, 2nd SB, 1st Ch/Ch, Tyre & Auto Port Macquarie (owned by Peter OA C grade & Sharon Leicht), 50 target Double Barrel Continental Championship. The afternoon saw the visibility and winds change considerably, unfortunately not benefitting the shooters a lot. Tony Norris, Robert Clarke and Peter Fitzalan however, were all in the red after the 50 targets and had brought plenty of spare shells to have a good shoot off. Lots of free targets were provided by Taree Wingham Lesley Langer with Libby Clarke Clay Target Club, and the boys 2nd A grade PS & LAD HG were eyeing off the boxes on the pallet when unfortunately, targets started to escape. Such a shame the end came in the 90s after the long shoot off last year with Kim Nealon and Tony Ryder of 287 targets. 2012’s shoot off lasted 94 targets before Robert Clarke missed and Tony Norris took Overall. The final results were: Overall Tony Norris 94/94, AA Grade 1st Robert Clarke 93/94, 2nd Peter Fitzalan 70/71, A Grade 1st Ethan Dial 66/68, 2nd Libby Clarke with Gary Brown Ron Wakem 65/68, B Grade 2nd A Flying Fox 1st Robert Verrall, 2nd Scott Peter Leicht with Todd Wilson 2nd PS, DB Cont & C grade 1st Flying Fox & SB Peter Fitzalan with Bruce Smith OA HC winner Brereton 48/50, C Grade 1st Shane Pinkerton 46/50, 2nd Todd Wilson 44/50.

Some of our dedicated representatives had their scheduled Zone Meeting, however, most of us kept our distance so they could sort things out as required. We then let them join us and try to catch up for lost time. Everyone no doubt took it easy, went to bed early, ready for the challenges of the following day. Sunday started a little earlier but felt like a whole lot earlier. The 50 Target Flying Fox shot as 25 target DB and 25 target PS, sponsored by Libby & Robert Clarke was the fourth event of the shoot. A good way to get any day underway. That eye opener we get first up did not always open everyone’s eyes. Only the AA grade shooters managed to be clean after the 50 targets were thrown. The results were as follows: Overall Nick Xenos 119/120, AA Grade 1st Kevin Thompson 118/120, 2nd D Pasfield 117/120, A Grade 1st Craig Norman 98/100, 2nd Gary Brown 97/100, B Grade 1st Arthur Minter 98/100, 2nd Mick Wilkins 94/100, C Grade 1st Todd Wilson 84/100, 2nd Shane Pinkerton 80/100. Craig Norman 4th HC, 1st PS & Flying Fox & OA A Grade Kevin Thompson 1st AA Flying Fox, 2nd PS & OA AA That concluded the shoot with only the High Guns to be announced at the presentations. The Section High Guns were sponsored by Michael McDonnell & Lesley Langer were as follows: Junior High Gun Ethan Diaz 285/325, Ladies High Gun Libby Clarke 288/325, Veterans High Gun Peter Holmes 313/331. Graded High Guns were: AA Grade Kevin Thompson314/325, A Grade Craig Norman 305/325, B Grade Arthur Minter 307/325, C Grade Shane Pinkerton 275/334. Overall High Gun sponsored by G.B. Corsivia which was decided in apparently quickly fading light and a long and drawn out coin toss was: Peter Fitzalan 314/325. The shoot concluded at a reasonably early time for travellers to get on the road as early as possible. The Wingham Country Women Association packed up the few crumbs left at the end of proceedings and headed home for a well earned rest. They had worked tirelessly all weekend providing good hearty food for the competitors. Thank you ladies, and we will see you next year. The main three trappers, David Berry, Ron Marsden and David Sutherland, cleaned up the traps, closed them all up for another shoot next month.

As it is one of the skills that I teach in workshops it seemed a good idea to explore the process this month. Before we begin, it is important to go back and look at how the brain works. Simply defined, the brain can be divided into two halves: the left side and the right side. This implies that the two hemispheres are independent of each other but this is not the case but for this discussion we will assume that it is. Left brain thinking is associated with words, numbers, logic, analysis, criticism, rules, details, planning, and judgment. This is the side where our language comes from. Thoughts put into words can either be positive or negative, and can lead to beliefs. Conversely, right brain thinking is associated with sounds, images, patterns, kinesthetic or sensory input, emotions, the “big picture,” free association, and creativity. This side is also responsible for motor movements. For the shooter this would involve how we stand, mount the gun, seeing the target, keeping our head on the stock, swinging our bodies and following through. If we could shoot only using the right side of the brain we would probably never miss. A bit like putting food into your mouth when you eat: when was the last time you missed your mouth? You don’t because you don’t think about it. When your left side gets involved you go back to the past and develop judgements about yourself or your past performances, and when you think about the future you become anxious and worry about what might or might not happen. Left brain thinking will lead to self doubt. It makes our muscles tense up and we will not be able to perform. How do we make the shift from left brain thinking to right brain thinking and get into “the zone?” One very effective tool is called Centering. According to Noa Kageyama in an article How to Make Performance Anxiety an Asset Instead of a Liability, Centering is what sport psychologists call a pre-performance routine. It was designed in the 1970’s by the renowned sport psychologist Dr. Robert Nideffer, and can be adapted for all types of sports, drama, performances, public speaking,etc. Centering is a highly effective means of (a) channeling your nerves productively and (b) directing your focus even in extreme situations. Once mastered, it is very quick and highly effective way of bringing you back to the here and now. Kageyama points out there are seven steps, each specifically designed to move you progressively closer to right brain quiet, focus, and poise, and take you further away from left brain fears, doubts, and self-criticism. Step 1: Pick Your Focal Point Select a fixed point in the distance, somewhere that feels comfortable. This point could be on your field, the ground in front of you, or towards the trap house, but wherever it is, ensure that your focal point is below eye level. A focal point helps to minimize distractions and avoid the temptation to engage in left-brain thinking. Step 2: Form Your Clear Intention A clear intention is in essence, a specific goal statement. What do you intend to do when you step out on to the track or the skeet pad? How do you intend to break the target? Use assertive, declarative language, such as “I am going to perform brilliantly, with passion,” as opposed to “I hope to shoot well.” Do not use the word “don’t”. Doing so will only put the negative picture 20 AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS – AUGUST 2012 in your head and generate fears and doubt. For instance, when you say to yourself “Don’t miss the target, or Don’t miss high 2”, what’s the first image that pops into your mind? Missing the target, right? What image pops into your mind when you tell yourself “Smoke this target?” Learn to focus on what you want, not on what you don’t want. Step 3: Breathe Mindfully Kageyama explains that “one of the most powerful techniques for reversing the stress response involves learning how to breathe diaphragmatically. When stressed, our bodies have a tendency to revert to shallow, rapid, chest breathing. Doing so keeps us in fight or flight mode. Diaphragmatic breathing is the most biomechanically efficient way to breathe, and furthermore, is conducive to activating what’s called the parasympathetic nervous system response which is our body’s antidote for the fight-or-flight state”. Regular readers will have heard this over and over again. Focus on your breathing to, lower your heart rate, increase the oxygen flow and bring you back to the here and now. Whilst this is important on the layout it is also just as important to practice it out of competition. Centering can be practiced when you have a few spare seconds, whilst waiting in a queue at the bank or supermarket. Step 4: Scan and Release Excess Tension When our muscles are tense then we cannot be fluid when we want to shoot. Muscle tension will lead to missing which will lead to self-doubt which will lead to further misses. Scan your muscles from head to toe as you continue to breathe slowly and deeply, one muscle group at a time, releasing tension on the exhale. Step 5: Find Your Center According to Kageyama, in Eastern philosophy, chi is described as being one’s “life force” or energy. There is a specific location in our body where the energy tends to congregate, which is essentially your center of gravity. If you have ever observed the movements of a great martial arts master or even some athletes or dancers, you will notice a presence, grace, and balance about them regardless of their size or physical dimensions. The feeling of being centered is a very calming and reassuring one, and the mere act of searching for you center will quiet your left brain activity. Step 6: Repeat Your Process Cue Rather than focus on minute details and succumb to ‘paralysis by analysis’ make sure you have a process cue to help you return your focus and narrow your attention if you feel it is wandering. A word or statement such as “Trust and let go” can be helpful but this will originate from the left brain. To use the right side you might like to focus on a sound, the sound of the gun closing, or a feeling, the feeling of the gun on your shoulder or cheek. Step 7: Direct Your Energy Kageyama states that “by the time you have gotten to this step, you will have made the shift into a more quiet and focused mental state conducive to performing your best. You will have taken the edge off of your nerves, and in this last step you will channel the remaining energy that remains into a dynamic and inspired performance. This is how you use the energy instead of trying to get rid of it. Rather than have butterflies in your stomach, this is where you get them to fly in formation or as the saying goes, “You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.” When you first try to Center, it may take several minutes to go through all of the steps. If you practice this for 10-15 minutes per day, however, and stick with it, you will begin to notice a difference within a week or two and find that you can center in 5-10 seconds. Some notice a difference within days. The key, like anything else, is consistency and persistence.

VCTA North East Zone Trap Carnival Numurkah Shepparton, May 6 Although rain was predicted, the day dawned fine and clear and the good weather continued throughout the carnival. A total of sixty shooters attended and enjoyed the hospitality of the Numurkah Shepparton Clay Target Club. The three traps were kept running smoothly with the help of the host club members and the crowd being catered for from the well provisioned canteen. Home-made sausage rolls, salad rolls, sandwiches and a delicious array of home-made cakes and slices were on offer. Drew Healey AA & OA DB, AA & OA PS The first event was the 25 target Points Score which was sponsored by Spartan Global and a few possibles meant shoot offs in three of the four grades. The Overall and AA winner was Drew Healey with 147/147 and runner-up Darren Saunders 146/147. A grade was won by Andrew Whitechurch 80/81 and runner-up Alan Patten 74/75, B grade winner was Harry Ward 87/90 and runner-up Jim Kelly 84/90. C Grade was taken out by Noah Calandro 70/75 and runner-up Corey Wilkinson 68/75. All grade winners and runners up were very happy to receive boxes of cartridges as prizes. The traps were restocked and we commenced the 25 target Single Barrel event. More shoot offs were needed to decide the winners with Overall and AA won by Russell Felmingham with 29/29 and runner-up Ben Vogelzang 28/29, A grade winner was Greg Rowe with 30/30 and runner-up Tony Plum 29/30. B grade went to Jim Kelly with 24/25 and runner-up Neville Bussell 23/25. C grade was won by Corey Wilkinson with 26/26 and runner-up Chris Figgins 25/26. Russell Felmingham AA & OA SB The hotly contested 25 target Handicap was our next event and the winner was James Willett, one of our very talented junior shooters, second Darryl Hunt, third place to Ron Traill and fourth place to Peter Sing. The 25 target Double Barrel event was much anticipated and lived up to all expectations. With 30 possibles being shot, it was necessary to speed things along or we would be shooting into the night. With A, B and C grades already decided, the AA shooters got stuck in but our efforts to finish the event before we lost daylight were to no avail and the lights had to be switched on. With 3 James Willett HC & Jnr HG shooters left after 300 targets had been seen, it was agreed to move back to 18 metres to make it more of a contest. Our eventual winner with 346/346 was Drew Healey and runner up Steve Traill on 345/346. As Drew was tied for High Gun with Darryl Hunt, and the time running out, the committee decided to award a joint trophy. Our Junior High Gun was James Willett with 145/150, Lady High Gun was Vilya Vogelzang with 127/150, Veterans High Gun went to Doug Thomas 147/150 and as previously mentioned Overall High Gun awarded jointly to Drew Healey and Darryl Hunt each with 148/150.

A 9.30 am start over three layouts headed off on time under a clear sunny sky, with an over the shoulder, left to right, gusting at times, breeze. Event one the Handicap saw eight possibles and two of those standing on 24 Mts, one of whom was the eventual winner, Geoff Aston who is now 25 Mts, with a score of 43/44, second was Geoff Tunks 37/38 out lasting son, Jack 36/37 Geoff Aston HC who was third. Back Marker was Daimian Appleby 35/36 and the Junior Front Marker was Jamie Zechner 24/25. and the targets could not have been all that bad. Peter Mills out lasted everyone to take Overall 110 / 110, AA S Aston 109/110, B Stokes 103/104, A F Ibbott 70/71, P Arbaci 56/57, B C Mitchell 67/68, N Zechner 49/50, C P Gilmour 43/44, K Goetz 42/43. Three shooters had shot the lot and it was Paul Haslam 104/105 that won the High Gun. Lisa Hawker 48/50 was the winner of the Ladies High Gun and the Junior High Gun winners were A grade, M Woods 49/50, B grade, J Tunks 57/60 and C grade J Zechner 48/50. Jnr HGs M Woods, J Tunks, J Zechner The winning team was Melbourne Red D Appleby, J Spicer, G Aston, R Esplin & B Humphries who won the day with 240 from Morwell Red 238 and Nepean 237. In the Juniors it was Melbourne A M Woods and K Dunkley who won their section with 97 from Werribee 96. Once again there was very little between the teams. Next round is at Frankston Australian in early June. Jnr Team Melbourne A Chris Carrol, Zone Secretary In the teams section Melbourne Blue headed the field with 119 from Nepean 118 and Morwell Red 116 and in the Juniors it was Melbourne A, 49 from Werribee 47. DB OA Peter Mills The Double Barrel was next with 36 possibles and 37 one down 24’s, so the conditions Winning Team Melbourne Blue HG Paul Haslem The Squire reports from West Wyalong West Wyalong Clay Target Club is very lucky in that there is a core of very hard working members who attend working bees and make sure all the equipment is in place and functioning perfectly. And so it was when the first squad of shooters was called for a round of skeet at the May shoot all their work was worthwhile as the layout worked very well and the hours of toil brought favourable comments from the visitors. Although not use to shooting skeet everyone soon got the hang of it as they blazed away at 50 targets. Allan Schirmer and James Turner shared first place with 43/50. James is very new to skeet and shows a lot of promise, especially in the confident way he consistently broke crossing targets. Digger Ellison, an old skeet shooter from way back, was second 42/50 and Dozer Collins came in third 41/50. 22 An enjoyable morning. After the skeet equipment was packed away and shooters partook of the usual barbeque, the afternoon program of Down the Line shooting commenced. First up was a 25 Target Double Barrel Cash Divide and Matt Schiller, Luke Ellison, Dozer Collins and Wayne Ambrose all shot 25/25 to share AA Grade. It was good to see Wayne Ambrose in AA Grade. Wayne has been close to AA Grade for so long and eventually his persistence has paid off. Ray Schiller 25/25 won A Grade and Kelvin Maxwell 22/25 was the B Grade winner. There was 500 bucks up for grabs in the 50 Target Handicap event and the smile on young James Turner’s face when he scored 48/50 to claim the majority of the prize money had to be seen to be believed. James is an enthusiastic young shooter who AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS – AUGUST 2012 helps a lot around the club and for him to win against such high quality opposition is outstanding and further illustrates his future capabilities. Matt Schiller 53/57 won the shoot off from Wayne Ambrose 52/57 to be second and third respectively. Michael Elmes 50/55 dropped out of the shoot early but made his trip from Narrandera worthwhile when he claimed fourth position. The final event of the day was 25 Targets Points Score Cash Divide and surprisingly both Luke Ellison and Dozer Collins pulled a second barrel and had to share AA Grade 74/75. Although only relatively new to A Grade, Narelle Ambrose is making her presence felt taking out her grade with a very creditable 74/75. Trent Gordon, from Barellan won B Grade with 66/75. Matt Schiller collected the High Gun pocket knife with a total of 144/150 for the day. Once again only a small shoot but very relaxed and enjoyable for all in attendance. 2012 NATIONAL SPORTING CHAMPIONSHIPS Shooter No. (Office use) NOMINATION FORM ACTA No. First Name Surname Address Club Suburb State Postcode Phone No. Mobile/Day Contact Email TICK ONE or MORE THAN ONE of the boxes if you are ELIGIBLE to compete in the Categories shown below: OPEN LADIES VETERAN JUNIOR All competitors must tick this box All FEMALE competitors must tick this box All shooters 65 years or over on first day of competition All shooters aged 15 & Under 18 years on first day of competition TICK Your SPORTING GRADE AA A TICK Organisation Membership A.C.T.A B Date of Birth Date of Birth / / / / C S.S.A.A.

Vince Gatt, ZZ Sydney Australia PORT MACQUARIE CLAY TARGET CLUB MAY 6, 2012 INOX Hastings 75 Championship On Sunday the 6th of May the Port Macquarie Clay Target Club held their monthly competition day at their club grounds within the Hastings Regional Shooting Complex. There were two club Champion-ships to be run with a o total of 125 targets to contest. O Other results were second placing in AA grade Hank McInnes 84/85, A grade 1st g Dick Piper 80/81, 2nd Julian Booth 79/81; D B grade 1st Peter Smith 73/75, 2nd Peter Leicht 72/75 and C grade 1st Warren Turner L 663/75 and 2nd Neil Radford 59/75. ers Robert Clarke AA grade, PM#1 L-R Inox Hastings 75 graded winn and Dick Piper A grade grade C r Turne en Peter Smith B grade, Warr The weather was ideal for clay target shooting, warm and sunny with no breeze to talk of. With some local advertising around our bordering clubs the committee at the end of nominations was happy to see six full squads ready to go for the two events. Clubs represented were Taree-Wingham, Newcastle Lake Macquarie, Cessnock, Tamworth, Kempsey and of course Port Macquarie. The first event was the Inox Hastings 75 which was shot double barrel over three walks of twenty five targets. This event was sponsored by Candan Industries the makers of Inox lubricants. The club would like to thank local member Steve Burley for arranging this sponsorship which enabled the club to put up $1000 in cash to be split equally between the grades and paying first and second in each grade. At the end of the competition there were three shooters who shot the possible of 75/75 and they were AA graders Hank MacInnes, Cesar Diaz and Robert Clarke. They went to trap one and after another 10 targets Robert Clarke was the winner of AA Grade and the Inox 75 Championship Medal with a score of 85/85. T second event for the day was the 50 The ttarget Single Barrel Championship which had Champion shells on offer to first and h ssecond placings in each grade. The event was shot over two walks of twenty five. At w tthe end Peter Brenton was only one point down and took his first Championship Medal as well as first in A grade with the score of 49/50. Other results from the single barrel were AA grade 1st Cesar Diaz 45/50, 2nd Daryl Pasfield 46/52; A grade 2nd Arthur Minter 46/50; B grade 1st Mick Wilkins 46/50, 2nd Barry Pharo 44/50 and C grade 1st Bob Bennet 40/50 and 2nd Warren Turner 33/50. The Overall High Gun Medal for the day was presented to Peter Brenton with the score of 122/125 and the Ladies High Gun Medal sponsored by Lesley Langer was presented to Libby Clarke 113/125. In the morning there was mentioned that the programme for the day was one of the best chances to see a Port club member take the $1700 on offer for the Shoot the Programme sponsored by Robert and Libby Clarke. But again the targets came out on top and the money has jackpotted by another $50.00 for the June competition day. Once again a special thank you to Candan Industries for their support in sponsoring the Inox Hastings 75 in 2012. I would also like to mention that our Annual Two Day Carnival is to be held on the 4th and 5th of August and all members of the ACTA are most welcome to attend so just look for our advertisement in the ACTA magazine. Cecil Park Clay Target Club APRIL DTL COMPETITION Date 07-04-2012. Attendance 35 shooters. Weather Absolutely beautiful. The program for our 100 target event this month was 20 D Barrel, 20 S Barrel, 20 Points Score & 20 Double Rise. This month’s shoot had to be run without the help of our normally ‘Best Helper’, Peter Papps, as he was at home recovering from a holiday – oops! I mean - stint in hospital. Hope you are feeling better soon Pete! What a beautiful day to go clay target shooting with all our shooters turning up to participate & enjoy the social day out. Our monthly DTL competitions are growing steadily & it’s great to see new shooters, like twin Juniors Jeremy & Nicholas Heath & Anoopinder Sandhu, turning up to our monthly shoots with all the ‘old hands’ making them feel very welcome. It is also nice to see some of the ‘travellers’, Stan & Inge Whiteman, stay on at CPCTC and join in the competitions leading up to the Easter DTL Monday comp. I’d like to thank Gracie Bartolo for helping Maria in the office, and to all the other helpers on the day.

Continental Trap is hard Dave Price in action enough without Right: Willo the wind and cold Cameron AA let alone cyclonic grade shoot off winds that can move a target a metre or more just as you pull the trigger. Only the seasoned shooters can post competitive scores on days like this and the old hands showed their experience with four of the AA Grade shooters battling throughout the day with the leader board showing a new leader after every round. Leon Cuzner went into the last round a full target clear of the rest of the field with Dave Price hot on his heels. Even the old hands can lose concentration and Cuzner is human, dropping 2 targets in his final round to hand over the bragging rights as the overall winner to Price. Cuzner then refocused to fend off Mick Gerstenburg & Willo Cameron from Canberra in a short shoot off to take out the AA grade championship. Other shooters to mention were Tracey Harker, a lady shooter from Queensland who shot extremely well to take out B grade, considering she was not prepared for Goulburn’s notorious winds or the bitter cold (some 15 degrees colder than she is used to). Joe Mooney also showed how it is done with 2nd place to Tracey, both of which posted scores that would have cleaned up the majority of the A and AA grade fields. Overall a fantastic day even in the harsh conditions, a great place to have a yarn, tell some stories over a hot cup of coffee and keep the mind and body focused. All in good fun with plenty of hard competition if that’s what you looking for. Remember practice shoots are 6.00pm and every third Tuesday of the month, Les Burchill if you just & Cooper want to give Mooney it a go, Leon (scorers were Cuzner can kept busy) be contacted on 0428 382 995 for more details.
