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. Front Cover 2010 VCTA Trap Carnival High Gun, Ray Peatling, with VCTA President, Ron Traill and Vice President, Malcolm Dyson 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. Robert Nugent JANUARY 2011 – AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET NEWS 1 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 Contents National President’s Notes 1 Break Badges 46 Executive Officer’s Report 2 Club News 46 Apology 2 Jacaranda Open Classic 47 Richmond River 3 Ulupna Island 47 VCA 2010 State Trap Carnival 4 Psychological Skills 48 Rhys Eeles wins Memorial Cup 7 Wangaratta Skeet & 5-Stand 49 Hermidale 31st Anniversary 8 Shoot Calendar 49 VCTA ISSF Carnival 2010 10 Vale 50 2010 Geraldton Crayfish Carnival 12 Classifieds 51 Melbourne Cup Day at Castlemaine 16 The Squire reports from West Wyalong 52 Jean & Peter Wray Trench Cup 18 It’s Your Call 53 Competition Results: Coaching Updates for 2011 53 Sydney Anniversary 51 South Australia 22 South East Zone Carnival 2010 54 Queensland 23 Ballandean Celebrates 50 Years 56 Victoria 27 Northern Territory 35 VCTA North West Zone Carnival 58 Western Australia 35 ZZ Sydney Australia Comp 59 New South Wales 35 Teelba Gun Club two days 60 Tasmania 44 South West Zone Carnival 61 Waratah Notes 45 Harold Cracknell Memorial 62 Swan Hill Classic 46 2011 Registration/Membership 64 2 AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS – JANUARY 2011 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 OFFICER High Gun for the day went to Kim Nealon 98/100 and Intermediate High Gun to Roy Warren 92/100. An exciting opportunity to lead a growing not for profit organisation. The Australian Clay Target Association is seeking to appoint a new Executive Officer to lead the organisation. The Association has a healthy membership base of 13,000 and a staff of five and is financially strong and stable. The Association has an ongoing commitment to grow the sport of shooting and enhance its profile throughout Australia.The new Executive Officer will work with a volunteer board of directors to realise this vision. Applications are called from candidates who can demonstrate strong management, financial and marketing skills. Excellent communication skills, together with an ability to plan strategically are essential. A sound knowledge of and passion for shooting is desirable. A competitive salary package will be negotiated with the successful candidate. Applications close Friday 14th January 2011. For further information about this position an application package can be downloaded from the ACTA website: www.claytarget.com.au or by contacting our National Office on Ph 02 6938 2121. The last monthly trap shoot at Richmond River for 2010 will have been concluded by the time this article is published. Since the fourth Sunday of the month in December is Boxing Day there is no down the line event on that day. Night Trap on 10th and Skeet on 18th completes our programme for the 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. Richmond River Gun Club thanks all those that contributed to a most 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 www.northernriversgunclubs.com. JANUARY 2011 – AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET NEWS 3 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 4 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. Erin Forbes, Vin Ryan’s sister AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS – JANUARY 2011 Ray dropping his 56th target, Casey Fletcher becoming the Overall winner of the Handicap on Casey Fletcher Ray Peatling a score of 56/56, Ray collecting 2nd after shooting at three more targets to hold that Also thank you to the Echuca spot, ending on a 58/59, 3rd place Clay Target Club workers, who was taken out by Colac member brought up the entire eleven trap Randall Vitkus with a 57/59 result, layout, and grounds, to such a 4th spot was taken by Melbourne magnificent condition. Club member Stephen Aston, Cohuna Clay Target Club member, after shooting a 60/61 score, and Ray Peatling, was the only shooter finally fifth place went to Noorat out of just under 280 able to hit all member, Gerard Hose, on 59/61. 50 Double Rise targets and he very Saturday saw the State Single proudly accepted the honour of Barrel 50T Championship Overall Winner in the first event, commence on time, and although the 25 pair Victorian State Double there were a few full 50’s shot, Rise Championship, scoring a Cobar Gun Club was the club clean 50/50 result. Cohuna was you needed to belong to, to again the club to belong to for win, and that was the club Ross the 2nd event the Victorian State Walsh came from, and he held 50 target Handicap, as the last on through a very short shoot off two shooting off for 1st & 2nd to become the Overall Winner were Ray Peatling and Casey with a score of 54/54. 50 targets Fletcher both from the Cohuna of Victorian State Double Barrel Clay Target Club. Shooting from Championship was next, and the 24 and 22 metre marks, Casey by this stage all shooters were had the advantage in distance by certainly in their prime, with a two metres and it paid off with Neil Berry Bob Buchan with Glenn Woodhatch Rhys Eeles, John Bryant Cup Ross Walsh Terry Walls resulting 66 shooters scoring a full 50/50. At a point of about 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 Chris Carrol 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. Veteran Overall High Gun went to Hay Gun Club member, Bill Joel Lennane Penny Smith Gaye Shale Rhys Eeles Iles scoring a 330/350. Ladies Overall High Gun went to Gaye Shale a Wangaratta Gun Club member 331/350. Junior Overall High Gun was Echuca Clay Target Club member Rhys Eeles on a 335/350. Team shoots were next on the 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. Murray Roberts Victorian Veteran Postal team The ACTA National Office wish to advise all members the National Office will be closed from Close of Business Thursday December 24 2010 and will re-open on Tuesday January 4 2011. We extend a safe and happy 2011 to all members and their families. Maureen, Sue, Judy & Jenny 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.

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. ISSF SKEET James Bolding Overall Winner in ISSF Skeet 10 Held on Saturday 23rd and 24th the State ISSF Skeet got underway in cold blustery conditions on the Saturday morning with the mercury only reaching 16 degrees a far cry from the conditions the AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS – JANUARY 2011 Trap 2nd place in Ladies Natalie Rooney (NZ) and Junior Winner Owen Robinson (NZ) After the 150 Tgts we had 4 shooters tied on 139 to lead into the final.

In 5th position was the mighty Domingo Diaz on 138 showing that there is still plenty of bark in the old dog yet and New Zealand Junior Owen Robinson making 6th spot on 137/150. With 2 targets splitting 1st to 6th spot with a single barrel final a tight final was promised and we were not let down.

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.

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.

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. to 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 all the shooters and their family and friends that travel often great distances and at great expense, I think to many of them, the shooting comes With all the shooting finished it was second it’s just time to get the formal proceedings under a chance to way. It was with great pleasure President New life member Glen O’brien catch up with Rod Bailey called on Life Member Jack old friends over a beer or cuppa. And without Hartley to present a new life member into The you all the weekend and the competition Geraldton Clay Target Club and that was Glen wouldn’t be what it is. Junior High Gun winner with sponsor Tim Steer of Winchester Australia And finally a huge well done must go to our President Rod, the amount of jobs, phone calls and anything else that needs doing is more often than not done by him. And it’s not just in the lead up to The Shoot and during it, it is just about a twelve month job now, and even though a lot of members do their bit, the amount of work Ladies high gun Renae Birgan with sponsor Laurel Hartley Rod does, factitiously I must add the carnival just wouldn’t happen without him. Great work Rod, and thanks on behalf our our members. 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.

Catherine Skin ner CTSN PHOTO COMPETITION – INAUGURAL 3-MONTHLY WINNER 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. For Sally’s effort her club will receive a digital camera and will be in the running for the major prize over 12 months of a full page gloss colour club advertisment in the CTSN. 18 AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS – JANUARY 2011 THE AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET ASSOCIATION Presents the 2011 NATIONAL TRAP CHAMPIONSHIPS TO BE HELD AT THE NATIONAL SHOOTING GROUNDS TASMAN RD WAGGA WAGGA MONDAY 4th APRIL to SUNDAY 10th APRIL Events to commence at 8.30am daily MONDAY 4TH APRIL State Teams Shoulder to Shoulder Match – Open, Ladies, Veterans, and Juniors Opening Ceremony 71st National Champion of Champions 75T – in conjunction with the 17th Ladies National Champion of Champions and the 17th Junior Champion of Champions. 8th Sub – Junior Champion of Champions 12th Veteran Champion of Champions.

JANUARY 2011 – AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET NEWS 45 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. RESULTS Event 1 25tgt Points Score (Peter McGuire Memorial).

L-R Louie Presani, Paul Presani & Ralph Laino Vince Gatt Andrew Holdsworth & Rex Paistri JANUARY 2011 – AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET NEWS 47 Psychological Skills for Shooting 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 TRADE PRACTICES ACT The attention of advertisers is drawn to the Trade Practices Act 1974 and the provisions in the Act which apply to advertising.

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.

Wangaratta Clay Target Club Skeet and 5-Stand Sporting OCTOBER–SKEET 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.

However, the high standard of competition was very evident 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 grade and 2nd by keen simulated field and game expert Reg Carmody on 67/100. 5 STAND SPORTING CLAYS: Back Brett Jory, Middle L–R Travis Tait, Shaun McGauran, Christian McGauran, Reg Carmody.

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. Henry Albert (Harry) Vaughan B.E.M.

Darryn Jones Secretary SCTC Peter Cleggett, Sec JANUARY 2011 – AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET NEWS 51 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. 52 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 Pharmacy, GM and A Connellan Electrical, Wayne Ambrose Plumbing, Continued on page 53 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. West Wyalong Continued from page 52 Duncans Chainsaw and Mower Centre, Russell Brown Toppy Constructions and Rocket Earthworks. Kelvin also thanked Narelle and the ladies for their hard work in the canteen during the day. Clint from Montrae Mining was on hand to present the red sash and 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.
