A New Year is upon us and I wish all our members well
for 2011.
I recently mentioned the idea in this column of the
ACTA being able to directly deal with the shooters ie
sending of accounts for the collection of subscriptions.
The Board felt that if a proper process was in place we
would keep more members. One South Australian club,
Monarto-Alexandra has made a suggestion that it
would be better for clubs to be “required” to chase up
payment, with the club being given a couple of months
to do this after which time the matter would be handed to the ACTA to deal
with. I can understand the clubs concern of being taken totally out of the process
of collecting subscriptions and perhaps this proposal would be a suitable
compromise. Thanks for the constructive input Monarto. Further input from
members on this issue is welcome.
Work on the National Grounds has received some setbacks lately with the
weather this year making progress impossible for months at a time. Flooding has
resulted in damage to some traphouses and reconstruction is underway at the
moment. Our situation in a floodplain does not help but this year’s record floods
won’t be an annual event.
The Association closed its membership year with just on 13000 members for
2010 up on 2009. A large portion of the increase can be attributed to Victoria
where a major push was made by some clubs to join up what had been “social
members” a category not recognised by the ACTA. I thank those clubs for
making this effort and encourage other clubs to do the same. Persons using your
facilities, your insurance and your Club and Association name without paying
the proper registration are a threat to the Associations future and a possible
legal liability. Membership fees are after all only equivalent to a few cartons of
beer and provides proper liability insurance cover, substantial life and accident
cover, an improving magazine, and a voice with legislators, and sponsors of
the shooting sports alike. Sponsorship and fighting oppressive legislation are
numbers games so help get the numbers up by
joining up the freeloaders, and protect your sport.

Finally it is with sadness that I have to report
the resignation of our Executive Officer of two
years Mr. Tony Turner, effective from the 19th of
November. The resignation, for personal reasons,
came as a total shock to the board. Tony had
brought a level of professionalism, and a
personality we had all grown to like and respect
to the position. Tony, we wish you and your
family well in the future, we are truly sad to see
you go.
Until next month, good health and good
shooting.

Executive Officer’s Report
There have been a number of enquiries regarding the Insurance
policies and the coverage offered. There are a number of policies the
ACTA has to cover its Member Clubs and the Association, all with
their own set of criteria for coverage. These are on the Website as are
the certificates of currency and also the Constitution.
There is some confusion even after our mail-out to club secretaries with
the policy regarding shooters entering events and their Status.
I refer all to the Constitution which is the backbone of the Association.
38.1 Registration with the Association
“The Association shall keep a register of shooters and no person
may enter or compete at an Association competition, event, or
at any competition or event conducted by a Member State or
Member Club appointed for that purpose, unless such person
is registered with the Association as a registered shooter and is
not in arrear with his or her registration fees”.
As shooting targets, or competition constitutes an event, only financial
ACTA members may shoot at an ACTA affiliated ground. The option
of joining would be the only avenue available to enable them to shoot.
Our Insurance is based on our constitution and any failure to comply
with the constitution could render the Insurance invalid. If this were
the case the Club & their office bearers could be held responsible.
With regard to visitors “This reference is to visiting shooters from
other ACTA Clubs” or a person who comes to your club with the
intent of joining. They are allowed to shoot 3 times before being
required to join. This is to be used as a recruiting tool not a perceived

loop hole to extend rights to those from other associations.
I find it hard to believe clubs would want to allow unaffiliated
shooters to walk in, pay the same money as a member, shoot without
contributing to the Club at all, not contribute to the cost of running
the club(including insurance) perhaps win and take the prizes without
being a financial member. As a member of the ACTA and a Club
I would not be impressed.
We now have online registration of our National events.
You can access these through our website, once you have lodged the
form you will receive an automated confirmation. This is another tool
to ensure members are able to use the latest technology. This form is
virtually the same as the hard copy of the nomination form.
We are currently negotiating further sponsorships for 2011, more
confirmation very shortly. I would however like to announce after
meeting with Sales and Marketing manager Brett Quodling at our
National Trap Championships this year that Coopers Tyres has
agreed to sponsor the ACTA in 2011. Coopers have a great range
of tyres and as a sponsor of the Association we would like to see our
members support them. AVIS has also joined the ACTA with two
offers which are available to all members through our website. These
offers will change periodically, watch the website.
We will announce further details of a new deal with Perazzi for the
National Camps programs commencing 2011. This in addition to
the support of Perazzi for the Mackintosh teams at the National
Trap Championships. Many thanks to Fil and Steve for their ongoing
support.
I will not be here to see these new programs and sponsors join our
many other great sponsors in the future. My retirement from the
position with the ACTA took effect on the 19th of November. I wish
to thank all National Executive members and State Executives and
Secretaries for their support and assistance in the past two years.
I also wish to commend the work of the staff of the ACTA National
Office and David on the ground, they are fantastic people and very
professional in the manner in which they do their job. It has been a
pleasure to work with them. There are too many others to thank,
most I have spoken with prior to leaving. Thank you all, all the best
for the new year.
APOLOGY
To the Executive Officer, ACTA
On Saturday the fourth of September 2010 at the Australia Cup held
in Darwin I was guilty of using offensive language to an official and the
scorers during the course of the competition. My offensive language
was unsportsmanlike behaviour and a breach of the rules of the
Australian Clay Target Association.
I sincerely apologise to the referee for my offensive language.
I sincerely regret my poor behaviour. I was in breach of the rules of
my association and I deserve a punishment for my offensive language
towards an official.
I appreciate that the referee is a volunteer who has given, at her
own expense, great service to the sport of clay target shooting at the
ISSF level. I acknowledge that as a responsible athlete it is my
responsibility to behave correctly at all times and to adhere to the rules
of my association and the ISSF. I have written to the referee to
personally convey my apology for my behaviour and for failing to
comply with the rules and spirit of the competition.
Antonio Nino Pedulla, 17/11/2010
Richmond River Gun Club
Double Barrel and Ball Trap
On a day that started out absolutely perfect and turned into
a dark overcast storm-threatening afternoon, forty shooters
in 7 squads lined up at Richmond River Gun Club’s Lismore
range to shoot a fifty target double barrel and a 50 target
ball trap event on Sunday, 24th October.
Prizes for the Double Barrel event were donated by long serving member
Kevin Harding and much appreciated.
Ball trap is somewhat of a novelty to locals, with it only being shot once
a year but some good scores were recorded.
Squads 1, 3 and 5 completed their 50 targets of Double Barrel off 15
metres before tackling the ball trap with squads 2,4 and 6 shooting Ball
Trap first. Only Squad 7 switched after each 25 targets in order to keep
the field flowing evenly.
There were quite a few 25/25’s shot off the common mark but only one
at the Ball Trap layout.
Ray Turner from the Tyagarah Club and a regular at Richmond River
shot a 95/95 to beat Ian McDonald 94/95 in the shoot off in the AA
Grade Double Barrel event. Ray has not missed a target in his last 225
from the 15 metre mark including 100/100 continental.
Grafton shooter Jeff Lowndes
won A grade with 50/50 from
Peter Brown 49/50. Roy Warren
was very pleased with his 50/50
winning B Grade from Geoff
Jacobsen 49/50. A shoot-off
was necessary to determine
C grade with Jenny Wilson
48/54 snaring the prize from
new shooter Luke Barnes
47/54, Kim Nealon 24/25
49/50 posted the best score
in Ball Trap winning AA from
Ian McDonald 24/24 48/50.
Daryl Graney of the Yamba
Club took out A Grade Ball
Roy Warren Inte
rmediate
Trap shooting a creditable
50T DB, 50T Ba High Gun,
ll Trap
45/50. Geoff Pringle was
second with 44/50. B Grade
Ball Trap went to Roy Warren 42/50
from Gold Coast shooter Tony
Crandon 41/50, Matt Williamson
40/52 defeated Jamie Beddoes 41/52
in C Grade.
EXECUTIVE

year.
Jenny Wilson C Grade DB
Sporting Clays of some sort is held at Richmond River on 5th Sundays
and 31st October saw some interesting and challenging targets thrown
for the seventeen shooters present.
Terry Preston, assisted by Don Johnson and Ted Schneider put together
a sporting clays layout that had everything except a “rabbit” skillfully
utilising the DTL traps, Ball Trap, skeet layout and 7 portables.
Shooters were “graded” after the first fifty targets and allocated handicaps which were then applied over the seventy-five shot.
Ballina Fishermen’s Co-Operative Limited generously donated the prizes
freshly caught school prawns that were really appreciated by the club
and the recipients who were Terry Preston with 58/75 off gun.
High Gun Bruce Copper, Geoff Jacobsen and Luke Barnes all with
64/75 after the addition of handicap allocations, and new member Alan
Dowley was given the sponsor’s encouragement award.
The next sporting clays day at Richmond River will be on 31st January,
2011.

successful year by attending the shooting events and we look forward
to your company again in 2011. The club’s programme is published
in the NSWCTA “Blue Book” and may also be viewed at the website

VCTA 2010 STATE TRAP CARNIVAL
Echuca Clay Target Club
E
CHUCA was the
venue most of the
top shooters in the
country headed for the
weekend, Friday, Saturday,
and Sunday 12, 13, and 14th
of November 2010. And
with dire weather forecast
for those days, some
shooters may even have
decided against arriving,
but with 3 of the events
having just less than 340
competitors and a total
shooter attendance of 347 it
would have to be classed as
equal or among the best of
the State Carnivals held.
Shooters from every State in
Australia were on hand to try
out their skill, although no
shooters from either Territory,
neither, Northern Territory, or
the ACT arrived. With the bulk
of competitors bringing their
families along for the event it
certainly made for a large
crowd at the club, and must
have pleased the motels and
restaurants and caravan parks
Paul Weller
Member for Rodney

in the Echuca/Moama area.
New Zealand had five shooters
to represent their country, and
although all shooters were
expecting the worst from the
weather for the entire shoot,
someone must have put in a good
word for the Carnival, as the only
wild, heavy rain, that happened,
came down very late on Saturday
afternoon, contradicting the
forecast for the entire three days.
Prior to beginning the opening
of the Carnival, Echuca member,
Stephen Atkins, announced the
new members to be inducted into
the Victorian State Hall of Fame.
Neil Berry, Graham Willett, and
also Vin Ryan, (posthumously),
for their wonderful shooting
achievements, and as well, Bob
Buchan for his endless service to
the sport as an administrator.
After the playing of the National
Anthem, member for Rodney,
Mr Paul Weller, had three shots
at targets, with his third
succeeding to hit the mark, and
he then declared the Victorian
State Trap Carnival for 2010,
officially open. Thank you, to
Paul Weller for participating.

resulting 66 shooters scoring a

target 150 in the shoot off, down
came the torrential rain along
with severe wind, and in fairness
to all seven competitors still
remaining in the shoot off, it was
called off until Sunday morning.
An early start for the Double
Barrel Championship shoot off to
continue, and by target 284 there
was only two shooters remaining, Wangaratta’s Brett Ford, and
Yarrawonga Gun Club member,
Terry Walls, and it appeared that
it was going to be an enormous
total until Brett missed his 533rd
target, and when Terry shot his it
became Terry’s event, earning him
the honour of being the Overall
Winner of the Victorian State,
Double Barrel 50T Championship
with a massive score of 533/533.
Certainly a big effort and with an
overnight break in between, well
shot Terry Walls. AA Grade 1st
going to Brett Ford, earned with
his excellent 532/533 result.
Rhys Eeles was the proud winner
of the Inaugural John Bryant
Perpetual Cup for the Junior
Double Barrel winner.
50 targets State Points Score
Championship was next on the
agenda for Sunday morning and
Euroa Clay Target Club member
Anthony Rohrlach needed a score
of 210 to win and that is exactly
what he did score, making him
the Overall Winner with that

Tony Rohrlach
Bill Iles
result of 210/210. Daryl Hunt was
the shooter who pushed Anthony
to that win, and although Daryl
could not match that result, he
claimed 1st in AA grade with his
well shot 209/210 result, Daryl is
a member of the Wangaratta Clay
Target Club.
It is pleasing to see how popular
the sport of Clay Target Shooting
has become, particularly amongst
the younger generation, with the
influx of young girls becoming
obvious by their numbers, and
virtually every one performing
well at the sport. Although it may
be a reasonably expensive sport,
especially to begin, it is regarded
as one of the world’s safest sports,
and that can be a major consideration for any parent looking at
what is available for their children.
Overall High Guns are needed
to be mentioned as they do
indicate who has been consistent
throughout the entire shoot, and
winning the “prestigious” Overall
High Gun sash with a three point
lead over three other shooters
was Cohuna Club Member and
also State Handicapper, with all
the work that entails during the
shoot, Ray Peatling. Ray, how you
kept your concentration intact for
shooting, and doing your office
work is unbelievable, congratulations on your 344/350 winning
score.

agenda, including, open, ladies,
juniors, & veterans and they were
followed by shoot off’s for team
High Guns, these teams will form
the Shoulder to Shoulder teams
to compete against other States
next April, results for these team
shoots will be included in the
overall shoot results to follow.
A very well organised and run
Carnival, a lot due to having
pre-nominations ensuring an early
start, and the large effort of the
Victorian Clay Target Association Committee, and the Echuca
Clay Target Club Committee and
workers, who had been preparing
everything for weeks prior to the
Carnival, and also for the huge
effort the ladies put in to feed
and water such a large number of
people over the three days. Also
a thank you must be given to
the participating shooters, some
having travelled a great distance
to be here for this what must be
described as a “magnificent” Victorian State Trap Carnival for 2010.
Thank you too must go to any
sponsors, one such being Spartan
Global Pty. Ltd who not only
supplied the clay targets at a
NEZ Junior winning team
Brett Ford
reasonable price, but also
supplied an OU Shotgun trophy,
and to the Campaspe Shire
whose workers organised the
installation and running of the
Road Management Safety signs
etc, to ensure safe entry and exit
to the Carnival, and safety for all
other road users.

With the large number of participants
it certainly was a big three days of
competition shooting, ending
approximately 4.30pm Sunday,
fortunately leaving plenty of daylight
for the workers to clean and close down
the facility. Knowing all that travelled to
Echuca to make this a very memorable
Victorian State Trap Carnival really
enjoyed the competition, and with the
committee wondering can this 2010
event ever be beaten.

Rhys Eeles wins Memorial Cup
Echuca Clay Target Club’s junior shooter, Rhys Eeles,
won the John Bryant Memorial Cup trophy at the 2010
State Trap Carnival, held at Echuca in November.
Rhys is yet to celebrate his 18th
birthday, and that made him
eligible to win this magnificent
trophy that is for the Victorian U18
Junior Double Barrel Champion.
With a score of 100/100 no other
junior could match him. Rhys
proudly accepted this Cup, which
is a perpetual trophy, and his name
will be the first engraving on it.
Rhys, who lives near Rochester,
received a smaller copy for him to
remember his win.
John Bryant was a shooter of
renown, having won many national championships and competed
in the 1956 Olympics, and came in at a very respectable 9th in
that event. At last years 2009 Victorian State Trap Carnival held
at Echuca, John Bryant was inducted into the Victorian Shooters
Hall of Fame, he was so pleased at achieving that honour that he
wanted to do something for the sport that would last, and decided
to support the junior’s in their shooting endeavours.
Unfortunately John passed away earlier this year, and he will be
sadly missed by all. John’s family were at this years State Carnival,
and it was his son, Peter, that presented Rhys Eeles with this years
State Junior Double Barrel Champion Cup.

VCTA ISSF CARNIVAL 2010
Melbourne Gun Club
T
he Melbourne Gun Club once again played host
to the State ISSF Carnival held on the weekend
of October 22nd to 24th 2010.
A lot of work by the Melbourne Gun Club committee had gone into
ensuring the Carnival ran like clock work and all are to be congratulated
for a successful weekend.
DOUBLE TRAP
Friday 22nd kicked off with the State Double Trap Championship. Conditions were a warm and sunny 29 degrees with 14 shooters entered in
the event. After round one it was Craig Trembath setting the pace with
Double Trap the day before. Sunday saw conditions much more pleasant
with the sun shining and hardly a breath of wind. 10 competitors entered
the competition with visitors from Sydney & Tasmania.
James Bolding got out to a 4 target lead on day 1 in some trying conditions and as a result never looked like being caught. He led into the final
with 142/150 a 7 target lead from his nearest rival in David Cunningham
on 135. Lauryn Mark 126, Keith Ferguson 123, Zita Dettori 122 & Daniel
Egan 111 were the 6 finalists. Another good round of 24 in the final saw
James Bolding become the 2010 State ISSF Skeet Championship OA

ISSF TRAP
Also held on the Saturday and Sunday of the
competition the ISSF Trap Championship
got underway with 48 shooters entering the
event.
Visitors for this event came from NSW, SA and
a squad from New Zealand.
In cold blustery conditions on the Saturday
scores were low. Junior shooter Owen
Robinson from NZ started well with a 25 in
his first round. The only other 25 shot for the
day came in the last squad of the last round
with Craig Henwood posting a clean round.
Double Trap Winners - Nick Kirley (AA grade) Geoff Aston (Junior), Craig Trembath (Overall),
Roger Esplin (C Grade)
a very well shot 47 opening up a 3 target lead on the rest of the field.
After 3 rounds he lead into the final on a very respectable 137/150. Next
to qualify was Nick Kirley on 134, Marc Crimmins on 131 (with a very
well shot 49/50 in his last round),
Russell Mark 126, Steve Haberman
119 & Geoff Aston 113 rounded
off the top 6 for the final. With a
46/50 in the Final, Craig Trembath

Owen Robinson both on 69. Three others were
on 68 including Catherine Skinner who was
also leading the ladies.
In perfect conditions on Saturday the scores
improved dramatically, although 25’s were still hard to come by with
Nathan McDonnell, Craig Henwood and Domingo Diaz (great to see)
the only ones to put red ink on the board.

That ended another Victorian State ISSF Carnival. A big thank you to all
who turned up to make the shoot a success, specially the shooters who
had travelled great distances to compete. With so many AISL events in
the calendar year held all over Australia it really does make it hard for
shooters to be able to get time off work and afford to travel to compete
in the other major carnivals through out the year.
A big thank you to all the workers from Melbourne Gun Club for both
the preparations and the running of a smooth carnival and to Paul and
Claire Watts for running the office.
SERVICE CLINICS 2011
Once again, Canterbury Trap Intl is looking to assist
any club with a Canterbury trap, to properly service
their Trapmaster, by inviting them to attend a free Trap
Service Clinic during the 2011 Australian Trap
Championships in Wagga.
Russell Smart from New Zealand will be in attendance
for several days of this shoot and will be conducting
service clinics for those clubs that wish to attend.
Clinics typically take around 45 minutes and cover the
basics of setting your trap properly for doubles and
singles and servicing the trap.
If your club has a new trap mechanic who has not
attended one of these service clinics in the past or you
have other members who want to brush up on their
knowledge, then please contact Canterbury Trap Intl at
your earliest convenience to register your interest or talk
to the local Canterbury Sales Agent. Spots fill fast, so
don’t leave this to the last or you may miss out.

cranked up and tubs of prawns being peeled

record numbers of tickets being sold the pool
was always going to be bigger than last year.
There was also a record number of shooters
that sold for well over a $1000 this year, so well
done to all the buyers out there, the pool is so
big($25,000 plus) because of you the shooters
who buy the tickets and shooters, with a bit of
help from our auctioneer.
Sunday was also
a great day finally
the weather was
being kind to us
after a few years
of questionable
weather.
With
only 3 events
this year on the
Sunday a early
finish was hoped
for. We did finish
earlier than last

as early as we had
hoped. But with
such great weather

are always going
to be good.

Calcutta sponsored by

and Latitude Pearls
The Calcutta as always
was the most anticipated
event of the weekend,
mostly because of
the huge pool that is
up for grabs. With
the syndicates doing
quite well the last few years there
were groups of shooters everywhere giving anyone they had
brought and who had shot the
possible a few last minute words of
encouragement.
Being a handicap event it took
quite a while to get down to one
squad. With Beretta Australia’s
very own Steve (Hollywood) Sayers
proving too strong for all comers.
You could say this was a win
shot under duress as someone had
put photos of Steve up around
the club Sporting a BEAUTIFUL
NIPPLE PINK LONG SLEEVED
SHIRT AND TIE he wore to a
Beretta function earlier in the
year, and didn’t he look very
HANDSOME. But he overcame the embarrassment and won the sash, $1000 winner’s
cheque and since he also brought himself in
the Calcutta more than $14,500 for 1st in the
Calcutta, well done Steve it couldn’t have gone
to a more deserving shooter.

O’Brien, well done Glen on many years of
work around our great club.
Once again it is time to thank the many people
it takes to run a shoot as big as ours. Firstly the
ladies in the kitchen once again you have gone
above and beyond with the lunches, morning
and afternoon teas exceptional. It is a huge job
and you all do a splendid job.
Julia in the office, great job
done. All the shooters who
helped out when help was
needed we couldn’t run the
shoot without your help.
To all our members who
helped out at the busy bee,
the weeks leading up to the
shoot and over the weekend
it’s all this dedicated effort by
the members that make the
weekend as successful as it is.

Well done to the Trap Maintenance team, I don’t think
we lost any time because of
trap
breakdowns. To
all our sponsors
without them we
wouldn’t be able
to give the cash
and prizes that
we do.
To

great expense, I

of them, the

work Rod, and thanks on behalf our our

So till next year stay safe and shoot well.
P.S on a little bit of a sour note, on Sunday
night someone borrowed the Beretta banner.
These banners cost a considerable amount of
money and Beretta are not only a good sponsor
of our club but to all clubs across Australia, so
if anyone knows where it is they can contact
me at kemptonfi[email protected]
and no questions asked. We will arrange to
pick it up.

JEAN & PETER WRAY TRENCH CUP
Saturday the 13th of November the
Melbourne Gun Club hosted the Jean and
Peter Wray Trench Cup. Held in conjunction
with the last round of the Victorian High Gun
Series the event was planned to be held in
September but due to a week of rain and the
club being closed due to flooding the event
was re-scheduled.
The event is held in recognition of the tireless efforts
both Jean and Peter have put into ISSF shooting over
the years not only at the Melbourne Gun Club but
Australia wide. Before the installation of our new
Matterelli traps for the Commonwealth Games it was a
very common site to see Peter with toolbox in hand at
the club walking out to repair a machine to keep the old
traps running.

This photograph was submitted by
Sally Cripps, a member of the Blackall
Clay Target Club. It shows conditions
at the Tambo Gun Club on September 18th after they recorded 5 inches
of rain over the weekend. The traps
are in the middle of the racecourse
complex and organisers had to lay
pallets across the straight to allow
shooters access to the layouts without
losing a boot or two along the way. It
just shows what shooters will put up
with to have a shot.

Swan Hill Classic
On Sunday the 15th of August the Swan Hill Clay
Target Club hosted this annual event. This year we
changed the format having two 50 target events. The
first event was for cartridges and the second event
had 22Magnum and air rifles and car fridges as
trophies. The weather was a challenge in itself with
a variety of conditions ranging from being overcast
to sunny, with showers and the ever present wind.
Forty seven shooters took up this challenge.
Despite the tough conditions some good scores were recorded,
notably the 149/150 of Marc Crimmins, the 143/150 of Emma
Cox and Joe Borg’s 50/50 in the double barrel event.

Grafton Clay Target Club
Jacaranda Open Classic
Grafton Clay Target Club like many
other places had endured a sustained
amount of wet weather but as if on
cue the wet weather gave way to a
perfect day for the Club’s annual
Jacaranda Open Classic. The Jacaranda trees were at their very best of
purple colour for the nine squads of
shooters who attended from all parts
of NSW and Brisbane. A good many
of those attending had chosen to
compete at the unique dual shoot of
Coffs Harbour Clay Target Club on the
Saturday and Grafton Clay Target Club
on the Sunday.
Event 1 at Grafton was the 25 target Points
Score Peter McGuire Memorial Perpetual
Trophy. Those that remember Peter remember
him as a great Points Score competitor
and this memorial event was again keenly
contested. The overall came down to a shoot
off between Geoff Field from Guyra CTC
and Rod Riley from Tamworth CTC who
both went toe to toe until eventually Geoff came
out the overall winner to take the shield home
with an excellent perfect score of 93/93.
Event 2 was the 30 target Jacaranda Mixed
Targets of 10 each of Double Barrel, Single
Barrel and Points Score and in the perfect
conditions this event was also strongly shot
for. This time Rod Riley was determined in the
shoot off and took home the overall sash with
a score of 109/110.
The day was progressing so well and the
perfect weather allowed the shooters a little
time of relaxation whilst they indulged in a
splendid lunch prepared by our wonderful
canteen ladies. Again they produced a sumptuous meal for which the Grafton Clay Target
Club is renowned.
Straight after lunch was the event that
everyone wants to win being the 50 target
Jacaranda Double Barrel Championship. Even
with the excellent conditions and first class
clays it was strange that Noel Campion (Glen
Innes CTC), Murray Riley (Tamworth CTC)
and Rod Moody (Richmond River CTC) were
the only shooters to come in with the perfect
score of 50/50. It didn’t take a long shoot off
to declare Noel Campion the overall winner
of the sash.
The last item of the day was to sort out the
Overall High Gun with Steve Kilfoyle (Grafton
CTC) and Rod Riley (Tamworth CTC) on an
equal score. The crowd gathered to watch
what looked to be an enthralling shoot off but
very quickly Steve pulled a second barrel on a
Points Score target and it looked like we had the
winner until Rod dropped a complete Points
Score target allowing Steve to claim the title.
All competitors including many first time
visitors to the Club declared the Grafton Clay
Target Club a great place to shoot at Jacaranda
time with excellent clays and ideal amenities.
With the beautiful Jacaranda trees and friendly
atmosphere many declared that they will
certainly not miss this one in November 2011.

Psychological Skills

Michael Kruger-Davis
SKILLS AUDIT
This article directly follows on from last
month. Last month we looked at goal
setting. While setting goals is a necessary
component for improving performance, it
is also boring and doesn’t get the attention
that it deserves.
For most of us it is easy to look at the bigger picture goals and work
towards winning a championship, etc but there are more minor
and concrete goals that we have to achieve before the bigger picture
goals can be achieved. Goal setting is always best done from the top
down: start from where you want to get to and then look at the steps
you have to achieve to get there. If you re-read last month’s article
you will get an idea of how to set the bigger picture goals.
What are the steps to taking goal setting further?
The first step is a skills audit. What is a skills audit you ask?
A skills audit is a process where you, or better still, you and your
coach, look at the skills required to play your sport and what your
strengths and weakness are. Identifying strengths and weakness
are important because it is the weaknesses you need to work on,
improve and master.
For most sports and shooting is no exception, skills can be divided
into three groups: Technical, Physical and Mental.
What are the technical skills for shooting? Gun fit, stance, swing
and follow through, pre-shot routine, post-shot routine, lead, hold
point, cartridge and choke selection.
What are the physical skills for shooting? Fitness, strength, stamina,
muscle memory and movement, breathing, etc.
What are the mental skills required for shooting? Goal setting, concentration, relaxation, attention, visualization, mental rehearsal,
Now, whilst skills can be divided into these three groups, it is
the integration and synergy (that is: two or more agents working
together to produce a result not obtainable by any of the agents
independently) of the groups that is important. For example,
it doesn’t matter how good a your swing or follow through is,
how competent your are at visualizing, if you are not strong enough
to pick up your gun over and over again, you will not be able to
qualify for the shoot off, let alone keep going for a long run in the
shoot off.
For the technical skills, utilizing a good coach will help you make
sure you are doing the right things. This is often an issue for
shooters, golfer, bowlers, etc because once they get to a certain
level they believe that coaching is not important and develop a

comfortable pattern and just continue doing what feels right, rather
than question if it is right.
For physical skills, it is probably even more important. None of us
ever get younger but we either do not realize that we are getting
older or we are just in denial and do not accept the inevitable.
For most of the population, as we get older we lose muscle tone,
flexibility, stamina, speed, sight and hearing. Losses in any or all
of these areas will have an impact on our performances as well as
our perception of ourselves as either a person or an athlete. Fortunately for shooting, the sport relies heavily on muscle memory: this
means that because we do the same movements over and over again,
week in week out, year in year out, our muscles ‘learn’ what to do
and the movements become automatic and are easily executed at
a subconscious level. Sometimes however, we lose some of our
abilities and our performance suffers because we do not realize that
we are no longer as fit or as flexible as we were. This problem is
multiplied many times if we are in pain: hip, knee, shoulder
problems, etc. Consulting a physiotherapist, to get strengthening
exercises may assist before we develop strategies to deal with the
discomfort or pain. For most of us as we get older, regular exercise:
swimming, walking, cycling, etc coupled with core strengthening
exercises such as pilates or yoga and some resistance training such as
weights, will mean that we will be enjoying our sport for longer. Of
course this must be coupled with eliminating any negative aspects
such as excessive drinking, smoking and or other drugs.
So this leaves us with mental skills. Just as technical skills require a
coach and physical skills require a physiotherapist, mental skills are
best learnt by accessing a sport psychologist or doing some guided
study under the direction of a sport psychologist. Mental skills such
as mental rehearsal, visualization, attention, concentration and
relaxation can be easily learnt and then practiced regularly both in
and out of competition. Coupled with these skills is a need to change
thinking: eliminating negative self talk, challenging irrational beliefs,
exploring personal motivation, dispelling past judgments and coping
with the anxiety of future. The two main aspects of mental skills are
learning to stay in the present and dealing with the process rather
than focusing on the product.
Where to now? Look carefully at yourself: what are your technical
strengths and where can you improve. How is your health, stamina
and physical fitness? Do you need to do some work on your fitness,
reduce blood pressure, lose some weight or quit smoking? Are you
able to attend, concentrate, focus, relax, etc? What are your mental
skills strengths and where do you need help?
Get a piece of paper: fold it three columns headed technical, physical
and mental. In blue write down strengths under each heading, then
in red write down what skills you need help with. When you have
identified where you need help: go out and get it.
For those readers interested in how the targets went across the
floodwater. They skipped across the water and it was very impressive when hit. (If they were missed, because they were upside down
they just floated downstream.) When we changed the angle of the
plate, they hit the water and ‘bounced’ up at a random angel which
was much more fun.

Gloomy weather but great results
A field of 18 enthusiastic skeet shooters lined
up at the Wangaratta Clay Target Club on
Sunday 31 October to compete in the club’s
monthly 100tgt. skeet championship. Showery
rain and gusty wind didn’t prevent some great
scores being recorded, with local club member
John Pope travelling down from Wagga to win
overall and 1st in B grade with an outstanding result of 98/100. Brian Reid shot 94/100
to win 2nd in B grade and was in the same
squad as his son Alex, 12 years old, who shot
his personal best of 87/100. It won’t be long
before Alex will be able to beat his old man
at this game, as he has the ability to get on to
the target in lightning speed, which is a terrific
advantage in skeet shooting.
David Jackel took out 1st in AA with 93/100,
another top result considering David’s back
pain at present. Denis Savage shot 95/100 to
win 1st in A grade, followed closely by Bryan
Anderson from Canberra on 93/100. Davey
Jones, 13 years old, an established local Field
& Game inter-school shooting champion,
won 1st place in C grade with 92/100 and
2nd by Peter Finn from Shepparton shooting
91/100.
At the presentation, Brian Reid spoke briefly
about the clubs recent awarding of a grant
from the State Govt in conjunction with the
Rural City of Wangaratta. He explained that
the proceeds will be used to construct a state
of the art 5 stand sporting clays facility here
and the many advantages to both the club,
shooting community and the local economy
as a result of this major investment. Once
this project is completed, it will put the
Wangaratta facility at the cutting edge of this
popular discipline across the country, attracting many more shooters and the potential to
hold regional, zone, state and even national
events.
NOVEMBER–5 STAND
SPORTING CLAYS
Jory’s skills reign supreme
Under humid conditions, local member Brett
Jory took out the O/All championship 5 stand
sporting clays shoot at Wangaratta on Sunday
14 November. Brett returned an exceptionally
good score of 86/100, which is remarkable
considering the difficulty factor of many of
the targets thrown. Brett, Phil Andrews and
several other dedicated enthusiasts spend
several hours each shoot setting up and putting
away all the necessary equipment required for
this discipline.
SKEET: L-R Brian Reid, Alex Reid, Davey Jones, John Pope, David Jackel, Denis Savage, Bryan Anderson

here at Wangaratta on the
day.
Christian McGauran won
1st in A grade with a score
of 74/100. Christian’s
brother Shaun, also shot
the same score to win 1st
in B and Darren Saunders
shot 67/100 to take 2nd
place. Young Shepparton
shooter, Travis Tait performed superbly with a
tally of 70/100 to win C

Donald Cooper
7.10.40–9.11.10
Southern Yorke Peninsula Gun Club has deep regret at the passing of
Don Cooper a valued and respected member of the club. Shooting at
the club for many years.
Don will be sadly missed. Our condolences to Doris and family.
Helen Flavel
19.9.10
It is with deep regret that we note the
passing of Helen Flavel on 19/09/2010
Helen became a committee member of
Jeparit Gun Club when it opened in 1975,
and was a very willing and tireless worker
until shortly before her passing. For a
number of years Helen shot competitively,
and was a member of the Jeparit Ladies team
when they won the prestigious Australasian
Tiapan shield several years running.
She will be sadly missed by all the club members, fellow shooters and
the wider community.
Sympathy goes to husband David and her family.
George Foster
9.10.1928 – 21.10.10,
82 years
Devoted husband to Shirley and loved father
of Margaret and Lynette
George was born in Kurri Kurri NSW and
spent his early life at Mt Vincent where he
started his love of shooting and fishing at the
age of 7.
George joined the Newcastle gun club in
the 1950’s and with George on the committee and Shirley working in the kitchen they
became an integral part of the club. During the move to the clubs present
site at Lake Macquarie in 1990 George’s boilermaking trade became very
handy with the construction of clubhouse, traps houses & fencing.
George wasn’t a skeet, DTL or sporting clays shooter he was a “clay
target” shooter and didn’t mind what discipline he shot. he loved them
all and won many championships, making the NSW skeet team in 1971
and the NSW veterans DTL team in 2000 and in his later years became
a very competitive Olympic Trap shooter.
Brisbane in the early sixties and became
a tradesmen butcher. Early in his lifetime
he worked in the trade but in later years
he became a refrigeration and washing
machine mechanic. It was at this stage that
he joined the SSAA and began shooting at
the Brisbane SSAA branch at Belmont.
His love of shotgun shooting and his competitive nature soon found him knocking
on the door at Brisbane Gun Club where
he remained a member for many years.
He was later a member of Terranora, Gold
Coast and Roma. His competitive nature
made him a difficult person on the tracks as he was so confident he
could not miss and in later years admitted that if he missed he used to
always believe it was someone else’s fault, a situation he spoke of with
regret in later life.
During his shooting career Gary won National Titles, State Titles and
numerous Zone and Club events. He shot the Queensland DB, SB, Pts
and the teamscore clean on two occasions, 400/400. He also won the
Gumtree Shoot on three occasions. Gary’s last major win was in 1999
when he split the $10,000 first and second prize money with Frank
Bradwell at the Roma Pre Nats. He was the first shooter inducted into
The Queensland Hall of Fame. Yet despite all these achievements there
were only three trophies on display in his house. A beautiful dining suite
hand crafted by the late Rod Prior which he won as a Tamworth HG
trophy from Mark McInnes, a set of ducks mounted on a log from The
Gumtree Shoot and a set of mounted bull horns from a Roma Two Day.
Gary never hunted animals and on several occasions I saw him turn
down such an opportunity saying no thanks, take someone else who
would enjoy it.
Gary could generally either be found helping at the BBQ or holding
court at the bar with his mate Bundy and diet Coke. He had a quick
wit and many of his comments went over the listeners head. Gary’s
generous nature and ability to coerce his wife Halina, made them the
perfect hosts. Anybody who has ever been to the house could vouch
for this. Gary had a special place in his heart for the Roma Club and
was the city connection when it came to attending auctions, arranging
freight, buying trophies, collecting goods etc. etc. He helped the club
on numerous occasions and was much appreciated by Roma members.
Gary was a great supporter of Juniors throughout his life and also
actively helped with coaching. We will all miss him dearly.
Gary is survived by wife Halina, daughters Julie and Natalie, son Mark
and five grandchildren.

GSP, George was also a talented game chef, preparing fine dishes from
the game he gathered and the fresh vegetables he and Shirley grew at
their home in Lambton and the farm at Mt Vincent.
Harry was born on 17th November 1928 at Hamilton where he lived all
his life. He joined the Hamilton Gun Club in 1942. As a young fellow he

Harry was awarded the British Empire Medal (BEM) for services to the
Fire Brigade and Community. His was the last issue of this medal. It has
since been replaced with the Order of Australia Medal.
Harry was a great supporter of all local gun clubs and will be remembered as a stalwart, practical, no nonsense fellow and a great character.
No one who had heard him call for his target will ever forget his loud
gruff “Pull”. His last shoot was at Hamilton Clay Target Club on the day
before he passed away, and as usual he was in fine form both on and
off the tracks.
Harry will surely be missed around the district by all shooters and our
condolences go to June his partner.

The Squire reports from West Wyalong
Sash winners
The West Wyalong Royans Truck and Trailer and Montrae
Mining Open Shoot in October was the most successful
held at the club for some time. There were nine squads
of shooters who enjoyed fine shooting conditions and
witnessed some of the most extraordinary shooting seen at
the club for many years.
And unbelievably, Picolo missed his second target in the shoot off and
the Fyfes walked off with a nice little earner to start their day. A long
shoot off was required to decide third and fourth places as six shooters
had dropped one target. After a further 18 targets Ross Hill claimed third
41/42 from David Hodges 40/42 placing fourth.
Dozer Collins shot over 300 targets without a miss!
The lunch break also gave people the chance to catch up with the
popular Bert Boyd who came over from Tulli for the day. Bert has not
been in the best of health this year and it was terrific to see him back
swapping yarns with his mates.
Although slow to arrive the crowd soon built up which caused a few
problems in the office but the computer operators soon had things back
on track.
Entrants were able to view the fine display of sashes and prizes worth
$3000 that had been set up by the hard working Narelle Ambrose.
Shooting began with a 10 Target Double Barrel Eye Opener and 20
shooters scored 10/10 which surely indicated big things in the following events.
With three traps in operation shooters were called for the 50 Target
Point Score. Clive Foster, Dozer Collins and Leon Cuzner were all a point
down and had to shoot off for Overall and first and second in AA Grade.
Clive pulled a second and was out at 178/180 but Dozer and Leon did
not look like missing and shot on until they had a break at 80 targets. The
stoppage did not do Leon any good as he missed his 82nd target letting
Dozer claim Overall with 245/245 points. Wayne Ambrose shot 143/150
to win A Grade from Paul Watchorn 141/150. Regular Yass visitor, Steve
Schiller won B Grade 142/150 from Ross Hill 135/150. Doug Murray
using a borrowed Beretta managed 137/150 to win C grade from Kelvin
Maxwell 128/150. The Veteran winner was the Allan Bound 140/150,
Matt Schiller was Junior winner 144/250 and keeping it in the family
Katey Schiller was the Lady winner 141/150.
Montrae Mining had put up 500 bucks for the 25 Target Handicap and
nerves must have affected some shooters because unbelievably only two
shooters gained the perfect score; they being father and son Picolo and
Michael Fyfe.

AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS – JANUARY 2011
Ben Fairman and Kel Maxwell were the Master Chefs for the day and
cooked up a great barbie which was enjoyed by all present.
The final event of the day saw some class shooting with Dozer Collins
and Picolo Fyfe providing the highlights. The Royans Tuck and Trailer
50 Target Double Barrel event proved to be a fantastic spectacle with
Dozer and Picolo shooting shoulder to shoulder until the sun started to
go down and the jumpers came out and still they kept shooting.
They amassed 210/210 targets before they decided to call it quits and
toss a coin for Overall. Picolo won! Dozer had claimed his 300 Break
Badge and AA Grade and Picolo claimed his 200 Break Badge. Second
in AA Grade was John Finn who stayed with the leaders for a while to
shoot 102/103. Michael completed a great day for the Fyfes when he
shot a creditable 71/70 to win A grade from A Fennessy 69/70. Narelle
Ambrose racked up a 49/50 in winning B grade while Steve Schiller
48/50 was second. Doug Murray was certainly enjoying himself and
claimed C Grade 46/50 from Jason Anderson 40/50.
Digger Ellison made a return to the West Wyalong traps and walked
away with the Veterans title 49/50. Talented young shooter, Matt Schiller
was Junior winner and the Lady winner was Katey Schiller with 48/50.
In making the presentation, President Kelvin Maxwell thanked the
sponsors Royans Truck and Trailer, Montrae Mining, Brian Monahans

IT’S YOUR CALL
by Bill McCarthy
Your refereeing duties have placed you in a situation where you
are faced with both experienced and novice shooters who are
partiality closing their gun in readiness for their next shot. The gun
is pointed “down range” or, if you like, towards the trap house. You
are uncertain as to your action,
What do you do?
It’s Your Call
Well there is no direct ruling you can make as to a won or lost target.
However, this is clearly a safety matter and should be address in
accordance with our rules on safety. Therefore, if you simply warned
the shooter that he is breaching the safety rules you would be quite
correct. Naturally, that warning should be done immediately it
occurs.
Clearly, there is a need for you to remind the shooter that under Rule
1.01(e) “All guns must remain fully open until the result of the previous
shot has been called.” Similarly, GRTS 9, also addresses this procedure.
GRTS 12 requires the Referee to speak to the shooter immediately
that any breach of the safety rules are broken. While there appears
that there is no direct penalty that the Referee can impose, continued
non-compliance should be refereed to Club Management which has the
power to act under Rule 1.01(k).
While some of these instances have not been common in the past, there
seems to be an interesting number of shooters who believe that their
gun is deemed to be open when not fully closed. The rules are quite
specific and fully open means just that.

prize money to the lucky winners of the handicap.
Ben Fairman represented Royans Truck and Trailer in presenting the
green sashes and an extensive number of prizes for the double barrel
event.
Dozer Collins shook his hand and patted himself on the back as he
received the Dozers Ammo blue sash and case of ammunition for High
Gun 232/235.
Central Zone President, John Finn competed during the day and he
thanked the various sponsors and asked shooters to support those who
support the sport.
John also congratulated the West Wyalong Clay Target Club President
Kelvin Maxwell on the administration and organisation of the shoot and
he also congratulated Dozer and Picolo on their shooting prowess.
Geoff Brettschneider won the raffle and it was only left for Kelvin to ask
winners to remain for a photo and wish everyone a safe trip home.
