The Daily Shooter levy will change as from 1 January 2011 to $3.00 per person per day (including GST). This will be the same for all disciplines (Skeet, DTL, Sporting, Compak, ISSF and School Shooting). It is hoped that this will simplify the collection of this levy. Clubs will still be required to identify what type of shoot the levy is for as $2.00 will be split into general NZCTA income and $1.00 will be put into a reserve account dedicated to that discipline where the funds came from. Skeet and DTL will be combined as it is often difficult to separate this at club level. Registration fee Clubs are reminded that shooters must pay a NZCTA registration after they attend two club shoots in any one year. Clubs are asked to encourage these people to pay their registration fee. There is a reduced fee for new members for the remainder of this year. This is $37.50 for full members, $25.00 for a Family members, $20 for a Junior and $15 for a Social member. Any shooter who has not paid their 2010 registration fee that was a member last year (or any year going back 5 years) must pay the full fee applicable to their category. We do not give discounts for those who pay late gunshot 5 NATIONAL EXECUTIVE PATRON: PAST PRESIDENT: Sporting Clays M.Holmes (Director), I.Swale, N.Winsloe ISSF G.Searle (Director), K.Livingstone Sponsorship T.Manson (Director) K.Livingstone Referees / Rules B.Freeman (Director) Development DTL and Skeet G.Searle (Director) E.Johnston Legal / Constitution G.Johnston (Director) Management / Finance K.Livingstone (Director) G.Searle, M. van de Wetering PRESIDENT: June Briggs Ph (03) 768 5370 Ann Paton Ph 298 8169 Gavin Paton Ph (09) 298 8169 Rick Aitchison Mobile 027 444 2085 George Ellis 30 Mitchell St, Green Island, Dunedin.

Many of these improvements have been completed by a dedicated few people who are unselfishly giving up their personal time for the benefit of us all. I would like to encourage all members on a local level to get involved in your local club affairs and offer your help to club officials, especially those younger members who may be too shy to step forward; I can assure you your offer of help will be greatly appreciated. Local community clay target club assets have been built up over a long period of time, through local community involvement, sometimes over 100 years. The commitment by members and their families to supporting these assets is exemplary. The NZCTA also has made a major effort in supporting local clubs over an extended period also. However it is disappointing, to see the number of unregistered shooters who are “FREELOADING” on the local club, by not paying either their NZCTA registration fee, or their local club sub. Some of these people are continuing to do this selfishly on a regular basis, falling on the good nature of the Secretary when entering, with some weak excuse. The club’s responsibility is quite clear as far as the 2 shoot Rule is concerned for new intending members. You must pay your NZCTA Registration on the third occasion you shoot in any year at any club. To local club members I ask for your support to encourage these people to pay their registration fee. Many of you know who they are. NZCTA Officials don’t like acting as Policemen, so would all clubs at their next committee meeting, check your local shoot record book, consult your secretary, and approach these people when they next enter an event at your local club. These people are freeloading on the NZCTA public liability insurance that you have personally paid for, and also your personal family time that has supported your club. There are previously registered competitors who have not paid this year’s subscription also. Please encourage these people to front up on the next occasion they visit your club. At our last NZCTA Executive Meeting the rules regarding the payment of daily levies have been amended and clarified. The daily levy for all disciplines has now been simplified to avoid confusion. The new daily fee is now $3. This is split to $2 to the NZCTA general administration fund and $1 going to a separate travel fund for the respective discipline. Some clubs have for many years been under a misapprehension that levies don’t have to be paid for certain “novelty “events. Daily levies must be paid for all competition events at club level including “duck shooter “ events and “Christmas “ shoots. Daily levies must also be paid on “cosmopolitan” shoots held on registered club grounds. Currently your Executive is contacting prospective sponsors for sponsorship of NZCTA national events. Our job is made so much easier when your support of these sponsors’ products makes it a win win situation for both the sponsor and the NZCTA. Sponsorship is not a donation. Sponsors expect a return on their investment and a continuing growth in sales. When you next purchase ammunition, a firearm, shooting apparel, or a new chainsaw for your wife to use while you are away shooting, please support the sponsors who support you. Recently I attended the North Island Secondary School Championships at Waikato Clay Target Club. What a marvellous spectacle it was with all school teams in uniform and exemplary behaviour from our young members. Team coaches and managers should be congratulated for converting these students into role models for our sport. I talked to one Principal supporting his team, and he stated the NZCTA had turned “rabble into gentlemen.” By the next Executive Meeting a new draft of the “Range Manual” will be ready for approval and will be ready to be released to clubs as a discussion document. By March of next year the manual will be adopted by clubs following discussion at the AGM. In addition to the manual, all new clubs and new ranges must be fully compliant, but existing clubs must comply where possible and manage non-compliant areas. No clubs will be closed by the NZCTA who do not comply. International Events are shortly on the horizon for our members. The four Commonwealth Games athletes have been supported by the NZCTA, granting them $1000 each to be spent on ammunition or targets for their preparation for the Games. We wish them every success and hope that they do us proud in their event. In February we are hosting the World English Sporting Championship at TVDA ground near Thames. Many hours of dedicated work will culminate in a tremendous spectacle showcasing the NZCTA to the World. Full details can be found on the Website (www.wesc2011.com). Moving the NZCTA and Executive into the 21st century has now spread to computerisation of shooter records to be available at local club level. This will be a major focus for our 5 year strategic plan. What is proposed is: • Step 1 from 2011 shooters will have an individual bar code on their handicap sticker of their handicap book. • Step 2 is that in 2011 the NZCTA Identifies and adopts a national computer programme. • Step 3 is that during 2012 year trials at club level begin using a bar code system. • Step 4 At no determined date full computerisation of shoots at club level with a plastic swipe card replacing the current shooter’s handicap book. This will ensure all gradings, meterages, current registration fees, and classifications will be available at every registered club attended.

Nelson Marlborough We were ready, the grounds were ready, all that was needed were shooters, great targets and hopefully some fine weather. What could be simpler? Well, Saturday was pretty much perfect. With 55 shooters in attendance, and overcast and still conditions made those orange bits of clay irresistible. As was proven by the outstanding shooting of a total of 7 possibles in the Double Rise and 6 possibles in the Minis. Sunday Dawned not so great on the weather front – actually that’s an understatement! Another overcast, still day, but just to make sure everyone was having fun, patches of rain, heavy rain and really heavy rain. Now drenched and soggy under foot, made the day’s programme an even bigger challenge. But again, some impressive shooting throughout the day saw 5 squads with possible scores head out to shoot off the Single Rise event. After an epic battle that didn’t finish until after dark, and saw an amazing 311 tgts shot, and shooting the last 80tgts together, were Daniel Warnock and Graeme Ede. Congratulations to both shooters, with Graeme taking out HOA and Daniel 1st A Grade. A record for our Club – the most targets shot in a shoot off. Our congratulations go to all shooters who shot so well over the weekend. With many thanks to the large number of you who travelled so far to get here. Thanks for coming and we look forward to seeing you here again. As always, our club has a strong volunteer base that puts in huge amounts of time before, during and after an event like this, thank you all for a job well done. But the last word belongs to an outstanding shooter, who achieved a personal goal, by finishing only one target down for the weekend (234/235). Our many congratulations go to High Gun Colin Waghorn.

Targets 30 cents, Minis 40 cents Ellis Webber North/South Skeet Buck Knives North/South DTL Seven squads contested the first day of the 200 skeet weekend. Forecasts were for bad weather and heavy rain. Thankfully this did not eventuate and while the light conditions were not that good at the end of both days, it was still quite good for a mid-winter event. Some very good shooting was witnessed by all as Steve Cooper and Dave Da Silva finished day one clean on 100 straight. Scott Lewis led the B grade on 92 with Councillor Mike Holmes hot on his heals with a 91. C grader Scott Verran from Tauranga with 90 led Amy van Bysterveldt on 79. Day 2. Weather still good and today 10 squads appeared to contest the second hundred. This would put pressure on the to skeet fields in use but was not seen as a problem. Things moved along smoothly and a decision was made to re-hash squads to allow the North/South entries to finish in good time so that bad light would not affect their scores. Naturally this did not meet with the approval of some and seven people withdrew from the last 50. This decision on light proved to be unfounded and in hindsight was unfortunate on those affected. Next year the third skeet field will be prepared and employed to make sure this issue does not repeat itself. Going into the last 50 targets Steve Cooper and Colin Heard were all tied up on one down. Steve could not hold on with a 47, not enough to hold Heard (or Shag as the Rotorua boys call him). Colin rose to the occasion and shot the last 50 clean. Colin maintained his great form to record 99 + 99 for 198 and the weekend HOA win. B grade was headed by Scott Lewis with a fine 186 after a great tussle with Mike Holmes. C grade was won by Trevor Bracken with a credible 143. A good result for a very new shooter. A highlight for the locals was Allan Neill’s performance. Allan recorded a 99/100 on Sunday after missing low eight in his fourth round. Very disappointing for Al but still a very creditable performance and put some pressure on some of the Rotorua A team regulars who didn’t bring their best to this tournament.

Despite that we were still very pleased to host shooters from as far away as Northland (Bruce & Doreen Sanderson), as well as Auckland, Waikato (even Cambridge/Te Kuiti) and BOP. Even with heavy rain threatening possible flooding in the previous few days we had great support from Whitianga. A very pleasing aspect was the 16 Juniors and 6 ladies who competed. With his recent passing, this was the first Reloaders 150 at which Ron Dent was not present and the club gratefully acknowledges the support Ron personally gave to the club as a competitor and also with Reloaders Supplies Ltd as a sponsor. Many thanks to Scotty Stonex for his help organizing the sponsorship at this time, which must have been difficult for him both personally and professionally. The event was a 150 target Single Rise competition shot over three rounds of 50 targets. The first round saw 13 possibles of 50 shot by Doreen Sanderson, Mason Reed, Gavin Wenham, John Farrow, Stan Whiteman, Deano Horn, Rob Anderson, Shawn Sands, Brian Hartley, Ian Hovenden, Colin Kennedy, Bill Dunn and Martin van de Wetering. Round two produced eight possible scores from Deano Horn, Shawn Sands, Les Clarke, Brian Hartley, Rob Andrews, Martin van de Wetering, Natalie Curtis and Ian Marshall. That left four shooters on a possible 100 (Deano Horn, Shawn Sands, Brian Hartley and Martin van de Wetering) at lunch time. The final round took its toll with most of the front runners but produced another eight scores of 50 from Liam Buchanan, Amy van Bysterveldt, Deano Horn, Gary Vittle, Rob Andrews, Colin Kennedy, Natalie Curtis and Ian Marshall. With Shawn, Brian and Martin all dropping a target, it left only Deano Horn on a possible of 150 and the HOA in AA grade. 2nd in AA was Brian Hartley and 3rd Martin van de Wetering. With only one trophy prize each, Shawn Sands took out the Junior prize and trophy with his 149/150. 4th was Ian Marshall (148) and 5th Ian Hovenden (148) after a shoot off that also included young junior shooter Liam Buchanan. In A grade 1st was Colin Kennedy on 148 followed by Rob Andrews (147) and 3rd Bill Smith (146), 4th Mason Reed (146) and Doreen Sanderson (146). In B grade 1st was Andrew Welch (145), 2nd Deborah Pritchard (145), 3rd William Dunn (143), 4th Amy van Bysterveldt (143) and 5th Glenn Ramsay (142). C grade saw 1st go to Campbell Jolley with a fine 140, followed by Brian Boult (139), 3rd Ben Naylor (137), 4th Kevin Storey (130) and 5th Gavin Naylor (129). The Ladies was won by Natalie Curtis with 148 after shooting most of her first 50 single barrel following a gun break down and during which she dropped her only two targets of the day.

In all the previous years this event has been held in April, just prior to the start of Duck Shooting, which was a real passion of Rex Innis’. This is a prestigious event for the club as Rex was a life member of the Thames Club and a very strong supporter of clay target shooting in the local region, so this skeet event was established in his memory some years ago after his death. Rex never got to see the new Thames Club grounds, which he would be very proud of. The weekend weather was forecast to be reasonable for this time of the year. With light winds, a changeable light at times and an annoying late afternoon sun, there was enough to challenge the shooters who attended from far and near. It was very pleasing for the Thames Club members to be able to host shooters from as far away as Northland, Hawkes Bay, New Plymouth and even Timaru. The numbers attending also showed an acceptance of the new date, away from the Duck Shooters’ events and opening day, with 41 competitors on Saturday and 46 for the Rex Innis 100 on Sunday. With 2 skeet fields in operation, both were very busy days to get through the 7-8 squads for 100 targets each. With only a few problems, this was achieved in reasonable time, although the late afternoon sun made High 1 and Low 8 difficult targets in the last round for most (unless the cloud cover gave some assistance). With a new 3rd skeet field due to come into operation shortly, the Thames Club will handle this event in a far easier manner in the future and there are plans afoot for a 4th field to add to the facilities. The objective in the near future is to be able to offer 100 to 150 targets on a club practice day (ie Saturday) along with 100 skeet as part of the club programme on the next day, Sunday. This would give skeet enthusiasts the chance to shoot 200-250 targets over a weekend for some months of the year. Many thanks to club members present for their work over this weekend and to all the visiting shooters who attended and gave their support. Sunday 30th May – Rex Innis 100 Skeet Saturday 29th May – 100 target Skeet event There were 33 possible rounds of 25 shot with 29 in A grade, one in B grade and three in C grade. Over the whole day there were two scores of 100 from Ray Everett and Tony Truss (who had just returned from winning the Aussie Skeet National). There was only one score of 99 by Steve Cooper, followed by three of 98 from Graham Geater, Dean Everett and John Dangen. After a doubles shoot off the day’s event was won by Tony Truss as HOA and Ray Everett was 1st A Grade, Steve Cooper was 2nd A with Dean Everett 3rd. 1st in B grade was Yvonne Slattery with a fine 94 followed by Colin Pritchard (93) and Josh Wilson (92). C grade was won by young Scott Verran (94) with Den Wilkins (92) 2nd and Mike Boakes (88) 3rd. Light conditions were a little more testing this day with changeable breezes, but again a great day’s shooting with 35 possibles of 25 (34 in A grade and only one in B). However, there were three scores of 100 shot by Ray Everett, Chris Cassin and Steve Cooper. Unfortunately Ray had to leave to catch a flight home before the shoot-offs could be held and therefore fore-went the chance to win the Rex Innis Trophy. Ultimately the shoot off was won by Chris Cassin over Steve Cooper, wresting this event title from Merv Pratt who has held this for the last two years. For the first time this year the winners also received the specially struck Thames Club Championship medals for HOA and 1st in each grade. 2nd in A grade was Ray Everett and 3rd was Graham Geater on 99. B grade was again won by Yvonne Slattery on 92, followed by Andrew O’Hara (91) and Richard Westlake (91). 1st in C grade was Glenn Ramsay (88), 2nd Mike Boakes (87) and 3rd Diane Boenders (81). Over the two days’ shooting there was just one 200 possible scored by Ray Everett. This was followed by a 199 by Steve Cooper and 198 from Tony Truss who ended a very good long run following his good form in Australia. In B grade Yvonne Slattery ended the two days with a very credible 186. The best C grade score was Mike Boakes on 175 gunshot 19 ATA Open House Shoot REPCO 100 At Hutt Valley Hosted by Thames Clay Target Club September 25th 2010, 9:30 Start The new ATA target year starts September 1st.

Many thanks to Derek Haggerty who arranged the sponsorship by Repco, Upper Hutt. 34 shooters arrived to contest the prizes up for grabs and although the weather didn’t seem too bad, only a few shooters shot to their expectations. Many blaming the constantly changing light conditions. Repco Upper Hutt supplied a very good range of prizes down to tenth place with a total value of approx $1000.00. As we determined the ten places, we let the winners take first pick from the prize table as peoples motoring needs vary considerably. Highest score of the day with a very good 99 from 20 metres was Dave Turner. 2nd place was Adam Green, after dropping three targets in his first 25, Adam shot the rest of the day clean to score 97. Young Gregory Bentley was 3rd recording a 96. Four shooters on 95’s had to shoot off with 4th place going to Rick Spence, Peter Peryer taking 5th place, Sandy Rae 6th place and Sam Kirk taking 7th place. The 94’s also had to shoot off to determine the last few place getters with 8th place going to the man who arranged the sponsorship, Derek Haggerty, Jamie Peryer taking 9th place and Tim Anstey 10th place. Thanks again to Derek Haggerty for arranging the sponsorship, all the prizes were well received by their respective recipients. Also, thanks to Robert Prince for setting the targets, the two Daves, Turner & Hooch and to all others that pitched in with refereeing and scoring to help run the day. See you all next time WANGANUI / RANGITIKEI TEAM TROPHY SHOOT Wanganui turned on some terrific shooting weather for a July day, good light, no wind and a great background and for the first time shooting over a new DTL layout which has been overlaid with another Skeet field. Teams competing were from Dannevirke 1, Woodville 2, Palmerston North 2 and Wanganui/Rangitikei 3. All up 43 shooters took part in this Annual Teams event for the Wanganui, Manawatu, Waimarino districts. Over the years the number of competing teams has declined as we saw the demise of the many clubs from this region, namely Waimarino, Taihape, Marton, Ohingaiti, Rangitikei, Rifle Rod &Gun. All trophies used to be shot at individual shoots and clubs, but they have now been all combined into one day and shot for at the club winning the majority of the trophies. These trophies are keenly shot for and it is an ideal team event for clubs to blood some newer team members. Wanganui No1 won the Dalziel Skeet Shield with an average result of 116/125 from Palmerston North No1 on 114 and Woodville No1 on 110. The 14 target Donnelly Gymcrack Trophy was well shot by Palmerston North No1 with 68/70 followed closely by Wanganui No3 on 67, Woodville No1 and Wanganui No2, 64 There were some good individual scores shot in the McGovern 25tgt Points Shield and as teams the Wanganui No1 scored 360/375 to come in first followed a little further back, Palmerston North No1 356 and Wanganui No2 353. The Glenn Shield saw the highlight of the day. This shield is shot for over two 10 target visits to the traps. After the first 10tgts there were 3 teams in close contention leaving it up to the final 10tgts and shooters’ nerves to decide the winning team. Wanganui No1 were able to withstand the pressure and walked off the mark with a creditable 100/100 followed in second equal placing on 99/100 Woodville No1 and Palmerston North No1. The final shoot for the day was the Sutherland 10pr Double Rise. This as usual showed a mixed bag of scores with 5 shooters returning 18. As teams the winning club was Woodville with an 83 only just holding out Wanganui No1 on 82 and Wanganui No2 close behind with 80 Donnelly Gymcrack Palmerston North No1, (L-R) M Free, D Thomson, C Beattie, E Dais, W Hancock Sutherland Double Rise Woodville No1, (L-R) R.

There was a nice frost on the ground, no wind and the odd cloud around. Members began arriving at the club around 9am to crank up the potbelly fire to keep all the out-of-towners warm and to set the traps up. Shooters Colin Waghorn 1st A grade started arriving just after 10am, and were shooting by 10.20. By then the frost had gone and the targets were flying perfectly. We eventually got nine five shooter squads. Scores started coming in and after round one the top score was 47/50 from Lindsay Stephenson (Rotorua), Gavin Searle (Canterbury), Colin Waghorn and Brad Warnock (Gorge Road). Round two saw Gavin Searle shoot another 47, Alan Wilson (Gorge Road) 46, Dale Robertson (Gorge Road), Duncan Jefferies (Darfield), Lindsay Rodgers (Southland), Tony Truss (Rotorua) and Colin Waghorn shoot 45s. There was the odd puff of wind every now and again but that didn’t affect the targets at all. Lunch was being cooked by Jimmy, Val and Bronny from about half past 11 and was ready for shooters before round three started. Sausages, meat patties, mashed spuds, peas and salads were dished up to enjoy. Round three saw Gavin Searle top score with another 47, Colin Waghorn 46, Dale Robertson, Duncan Jefferies, Tony Truss, Sheryl Anglem (Amberley) and Ewan Pirie (Mataura) all shooting 45. The last round we decided to go down to two fields as they are both set up with a right and a left handed trap and we thought it was the fairest way. The top score of the day come from the last round with Colin Waghorn dropping only two targets to shot a 48/50. Gavin was “Mr Consistent” shooting another 47 as well as Tony Truss. 3.45pm saw the end of the 100 pair for everyone. Only one shoot off had to take place, and that only went 10 targets. Beretta was our major sponsor for the day. They donated a 391 Urika semi automatic shot gun for HOA which was won by Gavin Searle (188/200). 1st A grade Colin Waghorn (186), 2nd Tony Truss (182), 3rd Brad Warnock (180), 4th Jeff Munro (177).

So I called Eric, the 11-year-old next door, whose bedroom looks like Mission Control and asked him to come over. Eric clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem. As he was walking away, I called after him, ‘So what was wrong?’ He replied, ‘It was an ID ten T error’ I didn’t want to appear stupid, but nonetheless inquire, ‘An, ID ten T error? What’s that? In case I have to fix it again.’ Eric grinned . . . ‘Haven’t you heard of an ID ten T error before?’ ‘No’, I replied. ‘Write it down’, he said, ‘and I think you will figure it out’. So I wrote down I D 1 0 T. I used to like Eric, the little bastard. gunshot 23 100 TARGETS SINGLE RISE Hosted by WAVERLEY GUN CLUB, Beach Rd Waverley SUNDAY NOVEMBER 14th 2010 9 am Start CASH AND TROPHIES OVER 100 TARGETS Hawke’s Bay Provincials Hosted by Wairoa Rod & Gun Club November 6th and 7th 2010 9.30am Start Both Days High Over All $300 Please Note Change of Date Trophy value each grade: Saturday: 25 Skeet, 10 pr Double Rise, 15 Minis, 25 Single Rise 1st $150, 2nd $100, 3rd $75, 4th $50, 5th $50 ENTRY $65 All shoot offs conducted under Points Score conditions Ammo, Lunch and Refreshments available on ground Sunday: 30 Triples, 25 Points Score, 25 Single Barrel Targets @ 28c & Minis 35c Entries $18 per Championship $5 Optional Open sweep over each event Ellis Webber N/S Skeet & Buck Knives N/S DTL Come and taste the East Coast hospitality Secretary Claire Symes 06 346 5664 Waverley Contact Kelvin Ellison ph 06 837 5743 or Carol Bell ph 06 838 7733 [email protected] TARANAKI DISTRICT CHAMPIONSHIPS 2010 ISSF NORTH ZONE SOUTH ISLAND Hosted by WAVERLEY GUN CLUB, Beach Rd.

Points will be allocated in the following manner; 1st to 6th including the final in Trench, Skeet and Double Trap will be allocated points as follows; 1st = 6 points, 2nd = 5 points, 3rd = 4 points, 4th = 3 points, 5th = 2 points, 6th = 1 point. Juniors and Ladies 1st = 3, 2nd = 2, 3rd = 1 point in their individual competitions. Category points will be considered on their own for selection of Ladies or Juniors. For all positions any tied scores will be shot off at the last event if required, anyone not in attendance at the last event involved in a tied situation will be treated as absent from any shoot off situation. NZCTA will pay individual entry fees into the Australian National Championship event but funding beyond that will probably be on a self funded basis unless other funding becomes available by the time of selection of squad. The development squad will be announced at the conclusion of the final Zone event with the members being given the opportunity to either accept or decline their position within the squad. A commitment to either travel or not must be given within 7 days of announcement of squad and any positions not taken up will be offered to the next competitor on the ranking list. Intent! The intention of creating this squad is to give our NZ shooters the opportunity to travel to an international competition as part of an official NZCTA group and compete in an environment outside of our domestic circuit, hopefully giving them valuable exposure and experience to a significantly higher standard of competition which should help them to set new goals for achievement to higher standards, greater opportunities and a thirst for commitment and success at other events. While I am sure some will say this opportunity has no real funding attached to it therefore not much of an opportunity, someone with the true drive to excel in this form of the sport will, I am sure, look on this for what it is: a true opportunity to develop and strive towards what they want to achieve within their chosen discipline. I look forward to watching the true ISSF shooters strive for their best successes over these four events and in doing so will not only demonstrate a real commitment to succeed but also will add real value to our local domestic competitions by adding numbers of shooters to these events. Sadly, in the past, many of the clubs conducting these events have not had good competitor numbers at these events and given their financial and time commitment to the ISSF disciplines deserve better support from the shooters of NZ. Who knows, this just might be the catalyst for some of our standard discipline shooters to come and have a go at our Olympic style sport. It certainly will develop your mental discipline techniques and improve any form of clay target shooting you may follow. You may even find it is actually good fun as well!!! See you there. Footnote: Changes to our North Island ISSF Dates for 2011. • January 7th – 9th North Island Double trap, Trench and Skeet. At the Waikato Clay Target Club. Changes to our National ISSF dates and format for 2011. • February 17th – 20th South Island and NZ Trench and Skeet Championships. At the Canterbury Clay Target Club. • April 16th and 17th South Island and NZ Double Trap Championship. At the Canterbury Clay Target Club. This change has been brought about by the crowding of the calendar in February. However it is the perfect opportunity to try the separation of the Double trap events on to their own stand alone weekend. This may prove to be a real success. Only time will tell! It certainly will make it cheaper in time off work and accommodation required. Again, this could see more involvement of our standard discipline shooters into these events. So out of something slightly negative, may come a huge positive!

The day really couldn’t get much better for a winter shoot, as the number of possibles showed. Ten teams from as far north as Moa Creek and Alexandra came to try to take the McGregor Shield home with them, but Nightcaps has had it on the wall for a year and really didn’t want to lose it. After all the scores were tallied up, Southland No 1 and Nightcaps No 1 were 74 out of a possible 75, so off they went for a shoot off which came down to the 2nd last target of the last Southland shooter to miss which gave the home team the glory for another year. Well done to all the team shooters who shot possibles in this match. Of the 50 shooters half shot the lot, which is pretty good shooting. Next on the programme was the Shooters World Handicap by Distance trophy match. The club would like to thank Lindsay Duncan from Shooters World for his continued sponsorship to this club for this match. Without sponsorship we wouldn’t be able to put up such a good line-up of prizes. Using the NZCTA Handicap by Distance handicap has made this shoot a very interesting shoot with possibles spread right over the distances. We had 14 shooters line up for the shoot off. They shot 15 targets then re-squadded as there were only 6 shoots left. Very soon it came down to Joe Wilson from Southland and Hamish Bell from Nightcaps to fight it out. They both missed their 31st target so had to start again. They went for another 21 targets before Joe let his slip away and Hamish hit his to take the win. Well done to both shooters. It was very pleasing to see so many young school shooters attend this shoot, and the way they are shooting possibles hopefully bodes well for the future of our sport. I would like to thank all shooters who attended this shoot, and hope you enjoyed your day at Nightcaps. I would also like to thank our members who helped inside and out to make this shoot run very smoothly.

Vitamin C, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, Potassium and zinc 2 Feeling tired in the afternoon? Put down the caffeinated coffee and pick up a cucumber. Cucumbers are a good source of B vitamins and carbohydrates that can provide that quick pickme-up that can last for hours. 3 Tired of your bathroom mirror fogging up after a shower? Try rubbing a cucumber slice along the mirror, it will eliminate the fog and provide a soothing spa-like fragrance. 4 Are grubs and slugs ruining you’re planting beds? Place a few slices in a small tinfoil pie container and your garden will be free of pests all season long. The chemicals in the cucumber react with the aluminium to give off a scent undetectable to humans but drive garden pests to distraction and make them flee the area. 5 Looking for a fast and easy way to remove cellulite before going out or to the pool? Try rubbing a slice or two of cucumber along the offending area for a few minutes. The phytochemicals in the cucumber cause the collagen in your skin to tighten, firming up the outer layer and reducing cellulite visibility. Works great on wrinkles too!!! 6 Want to avoid a hangover or terrible headache? Eat a few cucumber slices before going to bed and wake up refreshed and headache free. Cucumbers contain enough sugar, B vitamins and electrolytes to replenish essential nutrients the body lost, keeping everything in equilibrium, avoiding both a hangover and headache! 7 Looking to fight off that afternoon or evening snacking binge? Cucumbers have been used for centuries by European trappers, traders and explorers for quick meals to thwart off starvation. 11 Just finish at a business lunch and realise you don’t have a breath freshener? Take a slice of cucumber and press it to the roof of your mouth with your tongue for 30 seconds to eliminate bad breath. The phytochemicals will kill the bacteria in your mouth responsible for causing bad breath. 12 Using a pen and made a mistake? Take the outside of the cucumber and slowly use it to erase the pen writing, also works great on crayons and markers that the kids have used to decorate the walls! 13 Looking for a green way to clean your faucets, sinks or stainless steel? Take a slice of cucumber and rub it on the surface you want to clean. Not only will you remove years of tarnish and bring back the shine, but it won’t leave streaks and won’t harm your fingers or fingernails while you clean. Pass this along to everybody you know who is looking for better and safer ways to solve life’s everyday problems IN THE 1500’s The next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn’t just how you like it, think about how things used to be. Here are some facts about the 1500s: Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and still smelled pretty good by June. However, they were starting to smell, so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married. Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it. Hence the saying, Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. 8 Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof. Hence the saying . It’s raining cats and dogs. 9 There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house.. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could mess up your nice clean bed. Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some protection. That’s how canopy beds came into existence. You have made the shoot off, an important meeting or a job interview and you realise you don’t have the wherewithal or time to polish your shoes? Rub a freshly cut cucumber over your shoes, its chemicals will provide a quick and durable shine that not only looks great but also repels water. Out of WD 40 and need to fix a squeaky hinge? Take a cucumber slice and rub it along the problematic hinge, and voila, the squeak is gone!. 10 Stressed out and don’t have time for a massage, facial; or visit to a spa? Cut up an entire cucumber and place it in a pot of boiling water, the chemicals and nutrients from the cucumber will react with the boiling water and be released in a steam, creating a soothing, relaxing aroma that has been shown to reduce stress in new mothers and college students during final exams. The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt. Hence the saying, Dirt poor. The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they added more thresh until, when you opened the door, it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entrance way. Hence the saying a thresh hold gunshot 29 30 gunshot FABARM OFFICIAL DISTRIBUTOR NZ AMMUNITION CO Innovation – Design – Quality ELOS TRAP – NEW MODEL • 12 gauge • 3” chamber • 30” or 32” TriBore HP barrel • automatic ejectors • 4 EXIS HP chokes • Forged steel receiver • adjustable opening tension • 8 position adjustable trigger • hand oiled stock and forend with adjustable comb • delivered in ABS case • proof tested at 1630 BAR AXIS TRAP • 12 gauge • 3” chamber • 30” or 32” TriBore HP barrel • automatic ejectors • 5 EXIS HP chokes • titanium coated forged steel receiver • adjustable opening tension• 8 position adjustable trigger • interchangeable HIVIZ fibre optic sights • hand oiled stock and forend with adjustable comb • delivered in an INTEGRALE case • proof tested at 1630 BAR.

With over 25 shooters competing in the 4 x 25 “down the line” target shoot, it came down to three local members in the final shoot off. The Wanaka Gun Club boasts 23 members with new young blood coming through with the likes of Cameron Meikle (14) who has done very well in national events. Cameron shot 99 targets out of 100 on the day. The younger members are enthusiastically supported and coached by the experienced members Photos: Andy Woods Cameron Meikle in action Rex Smart with the trophy Nelson Marlborough Provincials Continued ISSF SERIES Well the first 2 events of the 2010 Perazzi ISSF Series have been completed and were a huge success. On Saturday there were 15 entries for the 100 targets, with three new junior shooters taking part. With the weather forecast predicting rain, it was very heartening that it remained relatively dry with only a few passing showers. The early pace was set by Myles Browne-Cole and Brant Woodward with 25’s, however it was Peter Goodwin who showed the everyone how it was done with a great 50 straight over the last 2 rounds to end on a 97 ex 100. In close pursuit were Myles Browne-Cole on 95 and Brant Woodward on 93. Also making the final was Owen Robinson on 90, Gavin Paton on 89 and Natalie Rooney on 88. At the completion of the single barrel final, Peter Goodwin was 1st with 97+22=119, Myles Browne-Cole 2nd with 95+18=113 and Gavin Paton 3rd with 89+22=111. On Sunday there were also 15 entries for the 100 targets, with four new people competing, which was very encouraging to see. With a foggy background for the 1st round, it was Gavin Paton with a 24 that set the first round pace. After the first round, the fog lifted to reveal a perfect sunny winter’s day leaving no excuses for anyone. At the conclusion of the 100 targets it was Brant Woodward leading on 95, followed by Owen (hangover) Robinson and Myles Browne-Cole on 93. Rounding out the top 6 were Jack Norwood on 92, Gavin Paton on 91 and Natalie Rooney on 87. At the completion of the single barrel final, Brant Woodward was 1st with 95+22=117, closely followed by Jack Norwood on 92+23=115 and in 3rd place Myles Browne-Cole with 93+20=113. Come along and have some fun with us and enjoy a great day’s shooting. Remember it is not too late for anyone interested in making the teams, to shoot the three required matches, with four events left to be shot and if you are not interested in making a team you can still come along and have some fun!

I refer to the NZCTA ISSF Zone matches to be held in the Oct-Dec period. When I first started participating in these events I did not realise that each Zone match is a stand-alone NZCTA event on equal footing with the Provincial matches that are so popular with many of our shooting fraternity. Indeed the prizes are the same – sash to HOA, badge to 1st placed in each grade, certificates to 2nd and 3rd. And of course sweeps divvied up in the same way. For those who have not shot Trap before, but have shot Ball trap, a pretty good place to start might be to consider each station 1-5 as being the same as station 3 in Ball trap, and treat it accordingly. Perhaps your preference is Skeet. Well here is another variation on your favourite theme. Just shoot it gun down and with a slightly different programme around the stations. Yes the targets travel faster, so as many of you have told me over the years –“just see it and shoot it”. Then for those of you who enjoy Double Rise or Sporting pairs there is Double Trap. In comparison the targets are much closer together. Make sure you see the target come out of the hole because there is a variable delay of up to 1 second. For those who have not competed in these events before there is C grade. Hence you can play without having to compete with the purists who may have other goals on their mind. The Zone matches are held over a weekend with the Trap and Skeet being shot at the same time, and the Double Trap being shot on the Sunday afternoon. The four matches this year, I believe, are being held in Christchurch, Hutt Valley, Balfour and Waikato. Entry fees are cheap as chips, making these NZCTA events the best value for money on the calendar. Bring your friends to your closest event –the more the merrier and you never know you just might find out you are better than you dreamed.

The late Syd Thomas, a fine person and a very good shot, sacrificed his own pleasure to take the Secretary’s job and straighten out the books. Syd operated a garage close to the Whittle family and somehow got them involved in the Club. First Suzanne Whittle took on the job of Secretary for approximately 12 months before handing the books over to her mother, Eileen. This was indeed the beginning of a new era for the Whangarei and Otamatea Gun Club, now called the Whangarei Combined. The absolute honesty and integrity of the Whittle family made a huge contribution to the ongoing success of the club. Eileen gave us over ten years of faithful service and was made a Life Member for her contribution. Many of the older shooters will fondly remember her smiling face and good sense of humour. If a shooter came to the office and got a bit stroppy and needed their pedigree reassessing she could handle that as well. Eileen’s late husband, Chas also made a contribution to the club and whenever we held an open shoot he would run the bar for us. The Whangarei Club now enjoys world class facilities and is fortunate to be debt free. Much of this success must be credited to three gifted ladies who have served the club extremely well for nearly forty years. Eileen Whittle; ten years plus, Aileen Hollister: also a Life Member; ten years plus, and now Toni Gee, nearing twenty years and still putting up with us. Our sincere sympathy to Eileen and Chas’s family gunshot 41 SOUTH ISLAND SPORTING CHAMPIONSHIP Hosted by NELSON WAIMEA GUN CLUB, CLUB GROUNDS – VALLEY ROAD, GOLDEN DOWNS SATURDAY 2nd OCT 100 tgt TROPHY MATCH Entry $70 SUNDAY 3rd OCT 100 tgt CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH Entry $75 + Optional $5 Sweeps 9AM START Fully catered & Ammunition sales available both days.

Our grounds could not have got a more perfect winter’s day for 56 school shooters from Timaru south eager to hit some targets. I would like to congratulate all shooters who shot possibles or shot their personal best scores. There were certainly some good scores showing up on the board with lots of red chalk, which is always good to see. I would like to thank all Nightcaps’ members and visiting members who took the time to set the targets, fill the traps and refereed and marked all day, which kept the shoot running smoothly and finished by 2.30pm. A big thank you must also go the Central Southland College school shooters’ parents for keeping us all fed. Without your support the school shooting wouldn’t be as successful as it is. Well done to Central Southland College No 1 team for winning the Scott Shield. They shot 69 out of a possible 75, with John McGlashan and Southland Boys’ High both coming in on 65 so had to go and shoot another 5 targets each with John McGlashan coming out the winner for 2nd place. Craighead No 1 won the Ladies team event. The High Gun saw three senior shooters and one junior shooter contesting the shoot off with Alexandra Brown being the Junior shooter who came out the overall winner. Well done Alexandra. Thank you to all the parents and coaches who travelled with the shooters for bringing them to Nightcaps. I hope you all enjoyed your day with us and hope to see you all back again the same time next year. Results: Points Score – HOA M. Brown, Central Southland College.

Again we were lucky to buck the weather forecast which was for rain. However, shooters did have to deal with subdued light which tended to make the targets harder to see and some blustery wind which bumped them around quite a bit at times. Although not as many possibles were posted as at the previous shoots, the average score for the day was higher (81.5/100), suggesting an encouraging continued general improvement despite the sometimes tricky conditions. Each individual and team is able to drop two scores from the seven available circuit shoots. With three shoots remaining, this means that the competition is still wide open!

Sixty-eight shooters attended from a range of Colleges from Wairarapa to Napier. The standard of shooting seems to be steadily improving from an average score of 73.9 in round 1, followed by 74.6 in round 2 and now 79.1 at Patangata. Shooting conditions were OK, overcast with an intermittent breeze that rose a little towards the end of the day. A big thank you to Mike McCormick and his team for the efficient running of the shoot, to Central Hawke’s Bay College for hosting the shoot and to the Circuit sponsor Hunting & Fishing New Zealand.

Single Barrel – Jim Aitkin 1st, Sam Tod 2nd, Sam Kirk 3rd As with round 1, the weather forecast was less than optimistic, but uncharacteristically wrong – sounds like a Tui ad! The conditions were overcast with a light westerly that flattened out the odd target, but really not too bad. To allow each event to be completed prior to the next beginning, the club chose to shoot each 20 targets 10 x 10 over the 2 traps in the same style that most club teams events are shot. This format seemed to catch a few of the shooters out with the 2nd 10 targets tending to be a challenge to some. Nevertheless seven possible Single Rise 20/20’s were posted by Tim Groves (Wairarapa), Alannah Withers (Karamu), John Small (Napier), Ryan Gordon (Gisborne), Jamie Peryer-Fursdon (Rathkeale), Taylor Howatson (Lindisfarne), Callum Beattie (Palmerston North). After the shoot-off – 1st John Small, 2nd Tim Groves, 3rd Alannah Withers. No possibles were shot in the Points Score but Taylor Howatson and Sam Kirk (both Lindisfarne) shot off for 1st and 2nd on 59/60, Sam Kirk the eventual winner. Tim Groves and Jim Aitkin (Rathkeale) shot off for 3rd on 58/60, Tim ultimately prevailing. Jim Aitkin shot the only possible 20/20 in the single barrel. James Fulford, Jamie Peryer-Fursdon, Sam Tod (Lindisfarne) and Sam Kirk shot off for 2nd & 3rd on 19/20. The Lindisfarne shooters prevailing with Sam Tod 2nd and Sam Kirk 3rd. The team competition was based on the points score event. Unfortunately Lindisfarne was unable to field a full team due to internal exams which may have been lucky for the other teams based on the high scores produced by the Lindisfarne shooters that were able to attend! Results as follows: Points Score - Tim Groves 3rd, Taylor Howatson 2nd, Sam Kirk 1st 1 Palmerston North Boys’ High School 260, 2 Napier Boys’ High School 256, 3 Rathkeale College 254 Again, there was no need for a shoot-off for High Gun as Tim Groves was alone on 96/100.

Callum Beattie, James Abbiss, Brett Harpham, Cameron Shailer, Matt Lynch (Capt.) Single Barrel – 3rd Brett Harpham, 2nd Callum Beattie, 1st James Abbiss The previous night’s storm had moved on to wreak some havoc in Gisborne, leaving Hastings with gusty winds and passing clouds providing challenging shooting conditions. A strong field of 60 shooters turned out to contest the inaugural round of the Hunting & Fishing New Zealand Lower North Island Secondary School Circuit. Seven possible 20/20’s were posted by Callum Beattie, Max Buchanan of Palmerston North Boys High School, Conway Mildon of Napier Boys High School, Todd McCormick, Sam Tod, Taylor Howatson of Lindisfarne College and Tim Groves from Wairarapa College. After the shoot-off – 1st Sam Tod, 2nd Conway Mildon, 3rd Todd McCormick. The points score was shot purely as a teams event without individual awards, but it is noteworthy that Jack Wakeling from Wairarapa College shot the only possible 60/60 in very difficult shooting conditions, followed by Brett Harpham PNBHS on 58/60 and then Callum Beattie PNBHS and James Fulford from Karamu College on 56/60. In the teams event the Palmerston North Boys’ High School team of Cameron Shailer, James Abbiss, Matt Lynch, Brett Harpham & Callum Beattie took the day with 273/ 300 followed by Napier Boys’ High School on 254/300. With winds not looking like abating and light conditions constantly changing, the Single Barrel event was always going to be tough. There were no possibles, but despite the odd drooping bottom lip there were four 19/20’s posted by James Abbiss, Matt Lynch, Brett Harpham and Callum Beattie, all from Palmerston North Boys’ High School. The results after a shoot-off were – 1st James Abbiss, 2nd Callum Beattie, 3rd Brett Harpham. There was no need for a shoot-off for High Gun as Brett Harpham PNBHS was alone on 96/100. Alannah Withers won Ladies High Gun with 88/100. Individual rankings for the circuit at the completion of the first round are as follows: 1. Brett Harpham (PNBHS) 96, 2 Callum Beattie (PNBHS) 95, 3 Jack Wakeling (WaiCol) 90, 4 Jason Brown (Gisborne) 90, 5 Cameron Shailer (PNBHS) 89, 5 John Small (NBHS) 89, 5 Tod McCormick (Lin.) 89, 5 Taylor Howatson (Lin.) 89 Team Rankings as follows: 1.

We were short on helpers for the day and Don McCarthy (as usual) almost handled the day trap loading, setting, and clean up at the end of the day single handedly, with some much appreciated help from Dave Muggeridge and Les Clarke. Thanks again to Stephanie and Diane for running the office and cashiering the shoot and Nola for another nice lunch and refreshments. Thank you to the competitors who travelled varying distances to participate. Our luck returned with the weather being kind to us again, just a light shower in the second 25 targets for the first handicap squad. And what a squad it was. Bryce Schou ran the middle 50 from 20yards with great form to finish with a 98. Great shooting. The feat is even more of an achievement when you consider the less than encouraging comments from the other squad members. Les Clarke, who is renowned for his unique pre shoot motivational talks to the schoolboy team he coaches, was doing his best trying to put Bryce off. Apparently the squad had chipped in $20 each with the top score taking the pot so there was some extra motivation. One of the squad members was even overheard after the last 25 targets commenting that he felt like someone might have had sex with him during the round. You had to be there, it was one of the most fun events I’ve had the pleasure of scoring, not to mention watching the level of shooting. The day was shot with three separate events starting with 100 singles, 100 handicap and 50 pair of doubles. 100 Singles A Grade Equal Tie 1st thru 3rd no shoot off Les Clarke, Dave Muggeridge & Cameron Muggeridge all on 95.

Michael shot possibles in the Skeet (25/25), Single Rise (20/20) and Single Barrel (15/15) and scored 58/60 in the Points Score. He had to shoot off against Tom Willocks from John McGlashan in the skeet to win the H.O.A. then had to shoot off against 7 others in the Single Rise to once again win the H.O.A. title. He was the HOA in the Single Barrel discipline by virtue of shooting the only possible. There were no possibles in the Points Score event indicating that conditions were less than ideal for good scoring, William Rooney (Timaru Boys High) eventually winning the shoot off from 4 others who finished on 59/60. Michael finished the day as the High Gun and in the process didn’t drop a target, (98/98) and finished with a combined points total of 118/120, 6 points ahead of his nearest rival. He has two more local inter-collegiate shoots, Nightcaps and Alexandra to hone his skills prior to the South Island and Nationals at Christchurch in September PLACE Australia 1180 Winner New Zealand 1166 Runner Up Canada 1140 3rd Ireland 1114 4th England 1096 5th Wales 1060 6th Scotland 1057 7th South Africa 981 8th N.

Verran for Secondary School Committee The 2010 North Island Secondary School Clay Target Championships were held in Hamilton Saturday 3rd July. There were 195 shooters representing 31 schools. With a full programme of DTL and skeet events to be shot in the one day, shooting was scheduled to begin at 8.00am but because of very heavy fog and no wind to blow it away, the competition began about 9.00am with the fog still heavy but okay for shooting. The fog hung around till about lunch time when it lifted to lovely sunny but cool conditions with no wind. The DTL events were over by about 12.30pm and shoot offs for individual points and single barrel got underway while the skeet fields were being set up. There were 7 possibles in the points but after the first 5 targets only 3 remained, Liam Buchanan, Max Andrews and Scott Verran. Another 15 targets were required to find an overall winner. In the single barrel there were 21 possibles needing 20 targets to get a result. The single rise shoot off was done after the conclusion of the skeet event and the 25 on a possible of 20 needed 105 targets to get a winner. The Fish and Game sponsored Trophy event was run in conjunction with this. There were 53 entries in the skeet with only 2 competitors on 25, Devon da Silva and Jamie Peryer-Fursden, this shoot off was won by Jamie. Thanks must go to Dean and his team for who kept the event running smoothly throughout the day. The office staff for keeping the score board up to date for all to see the results as they were completed. Special thanks to Fish and Game for the generous sponsorship of the trophy event and to Kilwell who supplied the ammunition for the teams and single barrel event. Rudi Hoetjes from NZ Fish and Game presented the winners with their trophies and prizes, assisted by Keith Livingstone from NZCTA.
