WIN MUCH MORE WITH High Rib and Split Barrel MODEL 6000 TRAP GRADE 1 . give you a winnina u advantage High floating rib is the latest technological advance towards higher scoring. The 6000 TRAP gives you a superior sight picture because the raised rib keeps your head erect and your eyes naturally centred. The greater comfort means better concentration, which makes targets easier to pick up and break. In the heat of a shoot off the 6000's raised rib expands independently of the barrels and your point of aim is not altered by expansion. ---MlROKU 6000 TRAP GRADE 1H $1190 I .J Mlhv~U6OOO TRAP GRADE V $1490 Recommended Retail Prices Only ~ e a l eEnquiries: i FULLER FIREARMS GROUP PTY.

Page 2 AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS-FEBRUARY 1982 EXECUTIVE DI3RECTOW,'S NOTES The big news this month is that Peter Quire of South Australia has been appointed National Coaching Dipctor for the Association. Peter commenced duties on January 1, and has an enormous amount of work ahead of him to re-vitalisethe coaching arm of the Association, after the gap left when Newton Thomas retired from the job a year ago. Peter comes to the job after some years as South Australia's State Coaching Director and he is also ManagerlCoach of theNational Training Squad.His appointment has the blessing of the Sport & Recreation Branch of the Department of Home Affairs & Environment in Canberra. One of his major tasks will be the preparation of procedures for Accreditation at lcvel2 of the National Coaching Council's accreditation scheme. All clay target shooters wish Peter well in his new role, and we in the National office are looking forward to working closely with him. **** An example of close co-operation between gun clubs and community was brought to my notice recently by Tony Corones, Publicity Officer of Gladstone Gun Club in Queensland. The club conducted a combined charities shoot, which is reported elsewhere in this issue. A letter from Tony accompanying the report said in part, "Ibelieve it is in the interest of all clubs to promote responsible use of firearms and this type of community involvement does seem to get results". He also included press clippings indicating the excellent Iiaison with the local press. In these days of legislation worries and anti-gun lobbies, it is refreshing to see a relationship such as. this existing between a gun club and the communitv. shoulder * Extra long tails 0 Large breast pocket a Low cut button down collar does not in. terfere with gun * Made i n Australia from top qualily 65% Polyester, 352 cotton ctoth a Colors light blue, beige and Khaki 0 Sizes S, M, L & XL. $26.50 post paid.

To qualify the assessment I quote the findings - abbreviated -of one gentleman who owns a number of Newspapers, m d another expert who a few months ago retired after a very successN life as the Managing Director of a National Advertising Agency. I quote: "Shooters. Who or what are they? ZOMBIES??? Look in any local newspaper and you will find columns, even pages on athletics, swimming, football, cricket, bowls smuting, racing and so on but even for a reward you would be hard pressed to find an item on Shooting. WRY? Because the complacent, stupid Shooter is too damned lazy to write his copy, to submit an article, to advertise and tell readers he works he contributes he exists: he operates performs participates in what, is he so proud of his sport that he goes to extreme lengths td hide it from all and sundry, why is his beneficial contribution to the community such a religious secret? I can't understand why you shooters as a body aresuch a spineless collection, why hide, are you ashamed of your sport and your activities7It seems that on rare occasions a small minority of your top brass suddenly get together and pressurize authorities, and even those achievements seem to happen behind locked doors. Of the countless thousands who carry guns and arms, just how many is spent in advertising activities. How much money? .A child could count it! Any single Church Club would spend nlore in advertising than all the whole shooting panorama. K the Anti-gun protesters trample or strangle you then there will only be yourselves to blame. Get up off your ---(butts)and be counted, tell everyone who you are and what you s t d d for. Illiterate Trade Union leaders tell the world everything they are doing and the public lap it up. Does any outsider know why you exist, at best know what Shooting Sports are about; I am quite sure they DO NOT. In answer to your question, I will simply say that you should shake off your Zombie wrappings and start acting like sportsmen who have a real message, a real cause to share with millions of Australians. There are four very active forms of News Media flourishing, and you are too dense to uae any of them. Give us the adverts, the articles. the reports, and we will circulate them only for -------- sake climb out of your coffins before you lose everything. A ten dollar advert will win you initially at least a hundred dollars... The Newspaper chief almost echoed those assessments in these words which not merely embarrassed me but really put .. EDITOR'S MAILBOX Dear Sir, I am firmly of the opinion that the time for the introduction of a separate Skeet Nationals is now. This attitude is based on two major premises:(a) For the trap shooter to do well at the Nationals, he must apacialise, and skeet is themfore. a novelty event. However. because the Overall High Gun, the most prestigious event, includes thie "novelty" cornpetition, it does reduce the opportunity for the really top trap shooter to compete successfully. (b) The skeet shooter is not reaJly catered for in that at present, he must attend the Nationals for a single 50 target event. As travelling for the Natioflals is usually interstate, it simply not on. -is There are other aspects which include the following: Trap shooting is unquestionably the back-bone of clay target shootimg in Australia. Accordingly, the number of shooters who attend a Trap Nationals is high. When skeet is included as a single event, a large number of shooters enter simply because it is on. This results in a demand for skeet shooting grounds for this single event far in excess of requirements for serious skeet shooting. Skeet grounds represent a considerable investment by clubs and to ask that a number of additional grounds be installed for a once in about five year 50 target event simply does not make economic senw. There are at least three clubs that I have visited which would be capable of conducting a Skeet Nationals without Page 4 me down ...."Yes, Logs of Wood, all you bloody Shooters are smug, self-centre& introverted pacifists who talk to and only communicate among yourselves, and for that reason are your own worst ENEMIES. I understand there are nigh half a million gun licences in Victoria alone, and from official figures recently quoted not even fifteen thousand gun toters ban claim membership in all parts of the Shooting Game. Why don't you get your friends out of your glassl~ousesand say Hello to people, to say to gun toters, come and join us, we can teach you everything you need to know about your arms. It is no wonder the halfwits who knock Shooting are able to gain such ready support, and often approval of large percentages of the public, they tell the public, whilst you hand-lacquered ornaments tell no one anything about your existence, your standards, your principles and that you are responsible persons; the result, well your opposition is now cramming down round your ears, because you have dozed off for too long, whilst others have advertised, have spread their word, and the un-informed public believe them. What else? ADVERTISE. Every Club should spend ten or twenty dollars every week, at least, that investment will return income, members, appreciation and support a hundredfold. To this time I would accurately describe Shooters as,..... WOODEN INDIANS, no one knows they are around until you stumble over them.!!" Ln researching (amost impressiveword) the reasons for the existence of mythical creature best identified as the 'Unknown Sportsman', my enquiries returned me among a wealth of suggestions, these two expert appraisments, and as a Victorian Shooter for twenty one years, their accurate professional drubbing slammed me between the eyes, because, damn it, they are right. Absolutely right. We have only weeks to wakeup, getup, and give an account of ourselves, before an election campaign, - planned two years ago - starts to give us uneurable headaches; as I see it, each and everyone of us must talk, communicate, correspond and educate everyone we meet, not soon, not next month, not next week. NOW. Right Now. 0 additional lay-outs being constructed, and they are Melbourne, Mildura and Griffith Bun Clubs. When/If a Skeet Nationals is agreed to, I believe the followhg points should be given careful consideration: (a) Because skeet shooting is strongest in Victoria and they have two clubs with the administrative strength to run them, the first three Skeet Nationals should be conducted in that State. The purpose here is to firmly establish the Carnival. @) The duration of the Carnival should be four (4) days to make it attractive for skeet shooters to travel. (c) The number of targetslshooterlday to be 100: This can be made up of two 50 target events or a single 100 target event. However, I favour the shorter events as it tends to enmurage the average shooter who measures his success not so much by winning, but by getting into a shoot-off. (d) The Overall High Gun winner should be the National Champion. This tends to exclude the shooter who has a purple patch for one event and gives the recognition due to the top performing shooter over the total program. (e) The final point I would emphasise is that the program should be aimed at attracting the average skeet shooter the top shooters will come anyway. To put this in perspective, look at the 1981 Nationals held in Melbourne where the number of shooters was some 800. If the top 50 shooters had stayed away, nobody would have noticed. However, if the 1 5 0 or so shooters who made up the vast majority ::ad stayed away, there would have been no Nationals the average bloke pays for the Carnival.

The Team knew they had a good chance when they started and as the wind had increased a little from the right front, the scores below show a steady effort. Catling 25/25,Sleigh 25/25,Woods 21/25,Boller 25/25 and O'Connell 24/25a Tot& of 1201125. This gave the team an overall Total of 475/500,but the New Zealand Team was more than equal to the challenge and shot 1211125 in the Double Barrel for a total of 4781500 and a well earn't win. At the presentatlon that followed the N.Z. Team was presented with the engraved Pewter Mugs presented by the A.C.T.A. for this event. The Teams Match was well received by the N.Z.

Stevens, Ian Sleigh, Garry Boller and Tim Catling fronting up. This Event was finally won by Tim Catling with 116/116from the Points Champ. e e r Gavin Searle of N.Z. in cold, drizzly conditions.

Friday 11 December 1981 The Annual General ~ e e c i n gof the Confederation of Australian Sport was held at the V.R.C. Convention Centre at Flemington Racecourse on this day. Because of the A.C.T.A.'s affiliation with this body, Ian Hill and myself both attended the megtj;n_g. Wayne Reid O.B.E. is the President of this organisation and Garry Daly it's Executive Director.

Mr. Brian Dixon was guest speaker at the luncheon with "Sport For All" being his form of address to those present. Being a frrst for me, it was quite an informative meeting, and gave me great knowledge of the part played by the Confederation of Australian Sport. Fridny 11 Deoembm 1981 Rankston Australian Crun Club were conducting their Annual General Meeting at their club commencing at 8 p.m. Page 8 Although it was reported their shoot attendances were down slightly to the previous year, their balance sheet showed an income of $100,095.00 giving.them a profit for the year of $14,614.00. The Election of Office Bearers saw Graham Ash re-elected President, unapposed, for the ensuing year, with Bill McMal~oncontinuing as Club Secretary. Saturday 12 Deoember 1981 Melbourne Gun Club conduded their Christmas shoot on this day. For the benefit of shooters attending, all disciplines were shot with a variety of D.T.L. events being well patronised. Just on one hundred shooters attended and enjoyed the hospitality of the club. It was a great day to end the years shooting calendar. Monday 14 December 1881 Executive Director, Ian Hill,National Trainhg Squad Manager, Coach, Peter Quire and myself, made a trip to Canberra. The purpose of the trip was to further our,negotiations with the Deoartment of Home Affairs and Environment in the engaging of a full time National Comhing Director for the Australian Clay target Association. The trip was well worth the effort, a s the Department gave it's approval to Peter Quire being engaged as our full time National Coaching Director. Peter will begin his duties as from 1st January, 1982. Tuesday Deaember 16 1981 As well as spending time at the A.C.T.A. office attending to general administration during the day, I attended Winchester Australia Christmas Social at Park Lake Motor Inn in the evening. Victorian State President and Executive Member. Bob Buchan was also present. Many personalities were there representing the business and sporting world of Winchester. It was an enjoyable evening, many thanks Winchester for the invitation and your hospitality. This column has given details of the last of my activities for the calender year 1981.For me it has been a demanding but satisfying year, and I look forward to whatever challenge our shooting calender has to offer for 1982. See you where there is shooting. LAURIE CONNORS 0 EDITOR'S MAILBOX Dear Mr Hill, I fed that I must answer Suzanne Siddins letter to the Editor in the December issue of "Shooting News". Firstly, trophy cost and half nominations are not really related, irrespective of who wins the trophy. The cost to tbe club is the same even if a lady or junior (and veteran) wins the trophy, the profit from the shoot is also the same. Miss Siddins seems to have a negative attitude towards the future of our sport. Let's consider a family of a father, wife. s o d s and or Daughterls on a weekly working income. Where fuil nominations are charged, the husbandlfather tends to let his wife, son or daughter shoot and does not shoot himself: Therefore, the club receives only one nomination instead of one and a half. Another important point is unless we encourage young people $0take up this sport, they will be lost to less expensive sports. Clay target shooting is the one sport that family participation really applies. What other sport can have competitors over such a large age group, say from 10 to 80 years of age? I personally think that it is great to be able to compete alongside my family. I also must presume that Miss Siddins is in a higher income bracket and is much more fortunate than some of the families I know. Another small point is that most of the juniors I know go to school and don't earn an income, but those who do (usually a part-time job) generally pay for their own nominations as their family cannot really afford to pay for the child too. Finally, let's enaourage, not discourage. I would &Is0like to thank the Executives of the A.C.T.A. for their decision on my last letter for the 1982 Nationals held in Brisbane. Yours faithfullv. ".

The Minister for Home Affadrs and Environment, Mr. Ian Wilsou, has announced that the individuals would each receive $3,500 and the teams from $7,000 to $10,000. Mr. Wilson said the basic purpose of the scheme was to help teams and athletes who have achieved' World ranking to maintain or improve their ranking. "The awards are allocated on the basis of performance in International competition and are intended to partly compensate athletes for the cost of top-level training and participation", Mr. Wilson said. "The scheme is designed to provide assistance to teams and athletes t o meet the cost of coaching, travel, equipment, medical expenses and dietary requirements".

There are enough "Skeet Only" members to make a "Skeet Nationals" a viable venture. Add some entries that come from the "shoot the lot" section of our rnemhership and success is assured. The right, and permanent, venue is a must to ensure the "Skeet Nationals" ongoing success and prestige. The Melbourne Gun Club is the only club that has the know-how, facilities and prestige to host this type of Carnival on an annual basis. Sure, there are clubs with 3 or 4 layouts to do the job, but I speak from experience, when I say the Melbourne Gun Club has the know-how. Their record in staging International events is world renowned, and this type of series is right up their alley. With the co-operation of the State Associations, a States Team Match could be contested to determine the top skeet State annually and an AllAustralian Skeet team selected. You could go a step further and have a club match in conjunction. Highlights such as these would add much prestige and do much to promote our sport. With advertising and sponsorship from the trade and outside the sport, and the possibility of media coverage, we rney get some extra publicity mileage to help combat the anti-gun lobby, and the uninitiated. If we all get busy, the Skeet Nationals could be a reality by. say, October 1983.

Page 11 GUM SAPEm BlR1D SMOOTTMG ACTIVITIES FOR THE JUNIOR AND THE NOVICE ""VICTORIA SHOW HOW" by George Biggs State Coaching Director Vie. The year of 1981 in Victoria will go down as a big step forward at Clay' Target Shooting for both junior and novice shooters. Many hundreds of secondary school boy and school girl students and boy scout groups have enjoyed the opportunity that is available at Victorian Clay Target Clubs, to learn from accreditated club instructors how to go about using a shot gun in a safe, responsible manner and to learn something of the technique involved inshooting moving targets. The main aim at this level is not to try to produce an army of expert shotgunners and liunters this is something that wili Ix available at a later stage in the person's life. At this point strong emphasis is placed on safe and responsihle attitude to firearms use and handling for the junior shooter. Educational systems today are placing more emphasis on life time sports. A recent survey by the Victorian Education Department revealed among other things that a total of 110 schools have regular weekly or monthly sllooting activity. It was also shown that the safety record was second to none. The assistant director of secondary education in Victoria, Mr Neil Bavington, has said that statistics have shown shooting activities to be a very safe sport - obviously due to very strict gun safety training procedures that apply. Jeparit Gun Club in western Victoria was recently the venue for a three day gun safety seminar for teachers. The first one of its kind with education department approval. - Page 12 The seminar, which I was invited to take part in was organized by Mr Lyn Barr, Principal of the Rainb6w High School. A total of 38 teachers together with outside guest speakers discussed the many issues that go with school participation in shooting activities and firearms safety training. Mr Brian Mark of Winchester Australia Pty Ltd opened the seminar and introduced the guest speakers and lecturers who would be taking part in the program. Mr Lyn Barr related the history of gun safety instruction in Victorian schools. He outlined requirements for safety, a place in the curriculum and what support was available. The role of commercial firms and the part played by industry in support of gun safety programs in schools. Mr Neil Bavington explained the legal responsibilities teachers have regarding their pupils and which cannot be handed on to any one else. This means that accreditation of teachers could he the solution. IGghlighting the three days of this most fruitful workshop was the launching of the gun safety manual for secondary students by Mr Bernie Dunn M.L.C. of the National Party. The manual was compiled by Lyn B a n and subsidised by Winchester Australia Pty Ltd. Lyn has indeed done a first-class job in putting this manual together.

Boy scout groups are also involved. This is a welcome trend and the coaching council is delighted because we are geared to handle this situation in the best possible way with trained instructors at zone and club level. However, because of the increasing numbers of junior pupils some clubs are naturally concerned at the increasing costs of providing this service which can become somewhat of a burden to a small club if they have to provide targets as well. Generally, clubs involved with junior instruction provide their ground facilities such as traps, electric power, club rooms, etc. free of charge. All coaching and instruction work is provided free by members of ,the Victorian Coaching Council who do this work on a voluntary basis. In most cases, pupils provide their own guns and ammunition. Sever& of the larger clubs, foaexample, Metro. Melbourne, Wangaratfa, Warnamboo1 have a weekly training p r o g r m where the attendance is around 30-35each week, 50 weeks of the year. At least 85% of Victorian Gun Clubs are actively engaged in a youth firearms training program - it would be conservative to say that in excess of 8000 junior and novice shooters would go through the training program in the past year. The Victorian Clay Target .Association is g r a C N for the yearly financial help provided by the =ctorian Police Department towards our school boy firearms training proham. Without this aid it would not be possible for many clubs to provide their ground facilities and clay targets, plus cartridges, etc., at no cost to the junior student. Very few shooters would know of the extent to which our two ammunition companies, namely Winchester Australia Pty Ltd and Eley Ammunition, contribute to our youth training program. Both companies sponsor school boylschool girl championships in each of three zones yearly where the attendance is around 150 to 200.The companies provide cartridges, clays' and trophies as well as personnel to assist with the runningof the shmts.

Page 14 AUSTRALtAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS-FEBRUARY 1982 ' For lifetime usage this is the bes EDITORS' MAILBOX Dear Sir, I have read with interest the letters in ' ~ a i l b o concerning k half nominations for Lady and Junior shooters (Sept. '81 & Deo. '81). The first writer feels half nominations would encourage more family invohement and therefore more club members, especially younger members who would have the interest to carry on and keep the Club membership up. The second writer feels half nominations are selfish as it means these shooters are winning trophies paid for by the full nomination shooters, and when all other costs are considered would be of no help financially to the shooting family. I am a newcomer to the sport, which makes me a Lady. hontmarker and, until New Year, "bids only" shooter. M y observations have been gained from the sidelines in one district only and from my reading of the CTSN. I have not seen a Lady or Junior win an Overall or Championship trophy in ordinary Club competition. I like the way the CTSN makes a point of mentioning Lady and Junior shooters who win trophies apart from the front marker and their own sections, but do not recall reading of many. The troohies provided by Clubs for Lady, Junior and Front Marker winners appear to be selected with half nominations costs taken into consideration. As an adult Lady shooter I do not mind paying full nominations for myself, however, as the mother of four sons who are showing a marked interest in the sport I do lean toward half nominations for Juniors. A Club which encourages family involvement will gain good public relations and back-up from other family members usually the Mums. This is most evident in the Club Canteens, and from the comments I have heard and the shoots I have attended, a good Canteen is worth as much to the shooters' enjoyment as are the trophies. What a Club loses iri lower nominations could easily be overshadowed by larger membership and greater support. As I mentioned before these are the observations of a newcomer to the sport and there are probably other underlying issues to be considered that are not apparent on the sidelines. Other districts with different Club membership structures would possibly view the issue in a different light.

For the p t three years. Winchester has sponsored the Victorian school boylschml girl championships. The 1981 title was held at Melbourne Gun Club and drew a crowd OF320 secondary school students fkom all parts of the state. Trophies were for first and second in junior and senior section and likewise in the girls' class. I wouldn't know the total cost to Winchester and Elley of sponsoring these youth training programs but Lll make a guess and say many thousands of dollars for whicki I, as State Coaching Director am delighted and thankful. So next time you may be tempted to buy a packet of foreign shells, think about it! During October last, Melbourne Orun Club played host b senior scout units from Bayside Troops who were introduced to safe g-un handling and the art of shooting moving t w e t s . The boys (37 inall) were given a talk on firearms awareness and safety, also fiims on trap and skeet shooting were shown followed by practical shooting instruction. Winchester supplied 500 cartridges and Melbourne Gun Club the clay targets all at no cost. 0 We wish to inform all shooters of the passing of E. T. (Ted) Baldwin on the 24th December, 1981. He was a Life Member of the A.C.T.A., and a member of the Tatura Gun Club, and will be sadly missed by all. He was the father of the Tatura Gun Club, and we are sure that, but for him, the Club would not be as it is today SO, we say farewell to a gentleman and a sportsman. 0 Page 16 EDITOR9S MAILBOX Dear Sir, Included are a few comments regarding trap shooting which I hope are constructive. (1) Because trap shooting is very trophy orientated, it follows that any grading or handicap system which depends on the honour system, is open to abuse. (2) Because the administration at Club level is not strong, any system adopted for grading and handicapping must be easy to administer. Regarding grading, it seems that a centralised system is required. By this, I suggest that a copy of the shoot record from each Club should be submitted to the A.C.T.A. office and the shooters scores then fed into a computer (I understand that the A.C.T.A. is already using a computer service.) Every three months this information could be treated and the resulting gradings published in the A.C.T.A. News. These gradings would hold during the next three months and all that is required of Club Secretaries for grading purposes is to have an appropriate copy of the A.C.T.A. News at hand. To avoid deliberate cheating, such as when a shooter drops a target and then goes on to drop a large nurpber, his low scores could be discarded. This could be achieved by either saying that his five lowest scores are not to count, or that scores say 10% and more below average are not to count. With handicapping, there is only one real argument against performance being used as the yardstick anti that again gets down to the administrative capabiillty at Club level. The old system of money value determining handicap was easy to understand and apply and may well be worth re-evaluation. Certainly the glamour events in the past at big trap shoots have been the handicap wents. However, this seems to be a thing of the past and may well be related to the new handicap formula. Personally, I enjoy handicap shooting and would be happy to shoot it more often (I a m a very average trap shooter on 23m handicap). I wonder if the fall in attendances at shoots can be related to programs which appear to be aimed at tNe top shooters. These result in long shoot-offswhich cost the Club and consequently the average shooter a lot of money and reduced shooting times. It's important to recognise that in shooting it's the average club shooter, because he is inthe vast majority, who is essential to the well being o f the sport. Further, this group provides the majority of officials and simple truth is, no officials no club - no shoot. I believe we erred in adopting 15m for common mark shwting. The guns and cartSdg& are capable of much better performance than this. Rather than moving in, I consider that it would have been b6tter to have moved-back to say 18m. It has been suggested that the American single barrel shooting might be the answer to some of our problems. I've tried it and wNle there is no doubt that a high level of skill is required to perform creditably, it is, in my opinion, a lousy event. It is without doubt the most un interesting of all the clay target sports and has no attraction for me.Yours Faithfully, Reg Clarke, N.S:W.. - AUSTRALIAd CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS--FEBRUARY 1982 , ITALIAN SHOTGUNS are now distributed in Australia by ALFOU W ~ t y u. d .

Each ,is caused by incorrect gun fit, in stock dimensions or by mounting the gun wrongly. To get the best possible sight picture both eyes should be level with each other when the gun is mounted in the shooting position with the face firmly on the stock. This assures no eye strain and comfortable viewing. This will be the case if the stdck is properly fitted and the gun is correctly mounted, but if the head is canted or tilted over to make contact with the stock (right handed shooters) almost invariably the left eye will be higher than the right eye. The effmt here particularly if the shooter has a strong left eye, is similar to cross firing. The canted eyes receive a distorted view of the target, causing the shooter to point and fire where his canted eyes tell him the target is, when in fact it isn't. Another way to explain the phenomenon is that canting can create a sort of optical illusion. This is compounded further by the fact that the right eye is often blocked out by the receiver until the target clears the barrel. Thus the left eye higher than the right when the head is canted picks up the target first which can cause further confusion. If there is one thing a shooter needs it is a good solid level sight picture of the traphouse and target when it comes out not a cocked canted or confused picture. Now Gun Canting, one problem shooting with a canted gun eyes level but gun canted inward is that you force the gun to work against you - why well you've changed the point of impact you'li shmt behind your right angle targets and in front of your left angles, sure you'll still shoot and break targets because your amazing physicaVmental system adapts. You simply learn different compensations, but it's all unnecessary and just one more place for error. - Most shooters say they don't understand about your point of impact being changed. I'LLexplain; we all know a trap gun shoots higher than a field gun.The higher comb keeps the eye above the rib consequently we raise the front of the gun to make alignment. The result is our trap gun shoots high its all a devilish method for capturing a bit on a fast rising target, you shoot better with a built in vertical lead. When you cant your gun inward you not only turn the barrel to the left you also turn the rib. Your point of impact is not confused it always shoots high above the rib. Turn the rib to the left and is shoots to the left. Say you lay the gun on its side a full 90' and fire, doing this would throw the point of impact an additional distance in that direction but not high, understand more clearly. Let me add cantiig may also be the result of the shooter mounting the g u n out on the far point of his arm or shoulder rather than in the pocket of his shoulder. The comb will be far enough away from his face that he will have to cant his head over to make contact with the stock. A small degree of canting may not be serious but there is no definite way to prove or disprove the exact amount that will cause problems simply because each shooters tolerance may vary. The simple cure for this cause of head cantiig is to bring the gun into the shoulder pocket and thus closer to the shooters face so he doesn't have to t i t his head over on the stock. Other cures - Let's assume the gun is properly mounted with the recoil pad in the proper place in the shoulder pocket and the shooter still must lean or cant his head on the gun to contact the stock. The solution here can involve a many as three m&cations. The moat difficult and costly would be putting cast-off in the stock in the process the stock is bent to the right at the butt and thus bringing the side of the comb closer to the shooters face when the gun is properly mounted. It may take several sessions with the gun and fair amount of practice to achieve the correct eyes level no cant fit but the. results will be worth it. 0 ROKU D SCOUNTS $460 $540 $620 $695 $730 $770 Mlroku 3800 Trap & Skeet Black Miroku 3800 Trap & Skeet Silver Miroku 3800C Trap Miroku 3800W Trap Miroku 38005 Trap Miroku 3800SW Trap Miroku 3800HSW Trap Mlroku 6000T G I Trap Miroku 6000T G3 Trap Miroku 6000f 6 5 Trap Miroku 6000TG3 Skeet Stockists of: MIROKU, BAIKAL, BENTLEY, VITAVUORI, TIKKA.

NEXT YEARS B A U TRAP PROGRAM WIfL BE ADVERTISED IN CTSN. 0 Dear Jan, After reading C.T.S.N. Dec. issue, referring to Editors Mailbox. Letter from Albert Povey from Wagga NSW. I give him my full support as many other shooters do in the Riverina area. I personally think it is t i e to sort out a standard and more simplified set of rules and regulations, so both new and old registered shooters can get some unification from year to year. Another seation of clay shooting, I do not agree with is the way parts of the nationals are run. 1 Starting the nationals mid week, which means a shooter having to travel long distances must be away from work at least two weeks, 2 Not allowing shooters to m e reloaded cartridges in all events. This would help the shooter to CUL costs, and especially juniors and families with two or more Shooters. 3 Drawing inexperienced shooters out of squads to score whether he or she is a novice, this disturbs a lot of shooters. 4 Re-organise program in order of popularity having D.T.L. events with priority. For example don't have skeet in the midst of the shoot. Perhaps the new committee's should give a lot of thought to Mr Poveys letter and consider to improve the nationals for the good of the sport. E.K. French 13 Broughton Street, Tumut NSW. 0 Dear sir, The Nepean Clay Target Club played host to forty-eight Pupils and Teachers from trheDromana Technical School for a Firearm and Hunting Safety Program. With winds gusting to 80 km. per hr., the Students were instructed by Mr George Biggs {Victorian State Coaching Director) and Mr Ian Hale (Eley Ammunition Representative) on the dangers involved in tlie misuse of firearms. After instruction on the handling of firearms, fundamentals of leading and aiming points, the students were given practical instruction. When every student had fired a practice round, they divided into teams of five for competition. The winning team shot a very creditable 8/10. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Eley Ammunition for their Donation of Ammunition and instruction by Ian Hale. Also the time and effort given by George Biggs. Yours sincerely, Greta Quick, Sec. 0 AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS--FEBRUARY 1982 A.L.P. leader John Cain, by Castlemaine Gun Club. It is re-printed here to perhaps prompf other clubs to do likewise. Dear Sir, At the last meeting of the Castlemaine Gun Club it was moved that I write to you to protest strongly at the proposed change in gun laws to be brought in by the A.L.P. should they come to power in the state of Victoria We deplore the dictatorial attitude which you are taking in this matter. What we as a club would like to know, who is going to police all these laws - t l ~ ePready overworked police force? And as has been proved many times over, the criminal will get a firearm one way or another. The sad part of these changes you are'proposing will make many otherwise law abiding citizens be pressured into breaking the law. We can assure you that tlie feeling among the many shooters we come into contact with is that they have no intentions of giving up firearms which in many cases have been handed down two or three generations and sentiment runs very high in these cases. Apart from that, if a person has been a law abiding citizen for 30 or 40 years Inmany cases, what gives you the right to take that interest away from them and treat them as prospective criminals. These laws will have a far reaching affect on every aspect of the sporting trade, and can only bring about unemployment which we, as a club, thought you would be trying to reduce, not increase. We deplore your proposals most strongly, and urge you to re-consider these changes to the laws. If these are not amended to a degree that is satisfactory to such groups as the A.C.T.A., Fielci and Game Association, Sporting Shooter Association etc., we would certainly as a club be doing everything in our power to keep your party out of Government, and that would be the case with any party who tried to introduce such radical changes to gun ownership. Yours faithfully, Valoa M. Oppermann ~cre~ylTreasurer Castlemaine Gun Club 0 PLEASE NOTE: Back Cover Winchester Metreage groups incorrect, should be 14-15m due to rule change January 1, 1982.

This year, by tradition, Wangaratta Gun Club played host to the 20th North East Regional School BoysIGirls ELEY Target Championships. ELEY Ammunition, as always, sponsored the shoot with the supply of clay targets and cartridges for the students. The championships were keenly contested with the student shooters putting into effect the hours of practise they had spent at their respective school layout prior to the Championships. Wangaratta 6.un Club must be congratulated inthe way the committee and ladies worked to make this annual event successful. The Ladies' Committee worked extremely hard and the food was excellent. This year eaw a number of notable guests, including Mrs Audrey Thomas, wife of the late Newton Thomas. Mrs Thomas gave a wonderN speech, and it was really good to have her at the Championships. Noel Southey, formerly Executive Director of the A.C.T.A., now Administration Manager of the Confederation of'Australian Sport, presented trophies. At the wind-up of the day's Championships, National ISU Skeet team members, Graham Boyd and Ian Hale, gave a demonstration on skeet shooting; this was enjoyed by all. The school boylgirl shooting program is a very important area within the shooting sports, and is primarily designed to improve young people's outlook towards gun safety and handling, respect of property and adequate skill to enjoy their chosen sport. The main instigator of School Boy/Gil shooting is Chas. Whitla O.B.E., and Chas is to be congratulated on 20 years of involvement. Chas, I feel very sure, is going to make the 2lst Annual Shoot one to be remembered next year. 8 Eley's Geoff Kilgour and Chas Whitla with New and Old Boys Team. 8 Mrs. Audrey Thomas with Champion Old Bop Bill ~ o w i a n , and Champion New Boy Mark Gruber.

NORTHEBN ZONE SUNSHINE COAST by Bev Grice State Coaching Director Bill Stevens, Gerry Chizzotti and Bev Grice flew to Cairns for the Northern Zone Coaching Seminar conducted at the Cairns Gun Club on the 24th & 25th October 1981. Club members Doug James & Warwick Keen met us at the airport on our arrival and drove us to our motel, along with club coach Keith Joyce from Mary Kathleen. On Saturday 24th the seminar was officially opened by Mr Alan Poulton the N. Zone President, who thanked coaches for their attendance, and also the interested shooters who also attended. He then called on Tom Comerford (N. Zone Coach)to chair the seminar. Tom introduced Bill Stevens, Gerry Chimotti and Bev Grice to the audience, and then commenced the seminar with a .presentation of club coach badge and certificate to Mr Peter Hutchison of Weipa. The A.C.T.A. Coaching slides were then shown, and following this a general discussion took place. Arthur Kenna was then called on to address the coaches on "HOW TO GET THE MESSAGE ACROSS" Arthur explained that Overhead projectors were extremely useful, and he recommended that coaches who were running club seminars should utLlise this type of aid. The following coacnes were due to be examined for accreditation:- Peter Bell (Charters Towers); Bob Simpson (Cairns); Peter Stockwell (Cairns): Keith Joyce (Mary K.): So Tom called on these coaches to give impromptu lectures on SAFETY: RELOADING: STANCE: GUN FIT: POINT OF AIhlI: The coaches I'm pleased to say handled these lectures very wpably. After lunch using material supplied by Brian Nettleton Bev gave an address on "HOW TO COACH", using transparencies on the overhead projector. Following this Bill Stevens gave an address on MENTAL APPROACH, which led to many questions at its completion. by Bev Orice On Saturday the 17th October 1981 15 of the students who do clay target shooting for their outside sport from the Caloundra X g h School, attended a coaching seminar organized by club coach Barry Grice in conjunction with the S.E. Zone Coach Stafford Smith. S.E. ZONE President and secretary, Gerry & Josie Chizzotti also attended bringing the audio visual equipment. Stafford commenced the seminar with a talk back session on SAFETY, using any type of firearm. Following this question answer session the boys were taken onto the tracks and given individual coaching taking particular notice of each students individual problem and by using the AN problems were pointed out to the students and correct methods explained. Following lunch, the students were then shown how to reload the cartridges and given the safety rules pertaining to this. Each student then loaded some cartridges while others continued their practical coaching on the tracks. Mr Bob Dupuy of Winchester Australia donated cartridges for use by the students in the first &LD STUDENTS EVENT, which was sponsored by Winchester, Bob Dupuy had donated three small trophys for 1st. 2nd, 3rd place in the competition between the students. The winner was Colin Finlay, and following a shoot off 2nd place went to Andrew Grey and 3rd to Jon Postle. This competition will now become a yearly event conducted on a postal system throughout Queensland Students, and will be sponsored by Winchester Australia. Club coaches are urged to advise the State Secretary of schools in their region who will be participating in 1982. This hm been a great experiment, there are now three more members shooting regularly at the Sunshine Coast Gun Club, the students appreci&ed the help and a d d given and the Coaches who attended were satisfied that it was a day well spent. n EDITOR'S MAILBOX Gerry Chizzotti closed off the Saturday afternoon session with some taping of the on the tracks practical experience, and replayed this back through the T.V. which the club had organized. On Saturday evening the Cairns members had organized a boat cruiee on the "Trinity Queen", and from the looks of some of the fellows next day, it was a real BOOZE CRUISE. On Sunday morning while Gerry was filming the coaches practical coaching of novice shooters, Bill Stevens gave a comprehensive lecture through the Coach& Manual for 8 new d u b coaches. During the course of the morning coaches were given an opportunity to.use the AN equipment under Gerrys instruction, and this led the Northern Zone coaches tp recommend that they purchase this type of equipment for use in their zone. The weekend ended most successfully, ,and the Q.C.T.A. wishes to Thank the Cairns Gun Ciub members for their hospitality, the coaches for their attendance and attention throughout the weekend, and finally the S.E. Zone for their loan of the A.V. Equipment and Gerry for his time. A big t h ~ you k must also go to Mrs Sandra Wade of Townsville who drove us to and from the club during the weekend. 0 Page 62 .Gunpowder Gun Club in 1977. White Rocks mark the firing points on the rough tracks. Dear Ian, May 1 use the pages of C.T.S.N. to express my feelings towards the reformation of the Gunpowder Gun Club. Being one of the original members in 197.7, it is a great pleasure to see this club get going once again. Hopefully, in the New Year, I shall be able to enjoy the benefits of the new ground. No doubt it is a great improvement on the old one. The metreages then were marked with white rocks and as for the lanes, well, rather uncomfortable as can be seen by the photo. Good luck to those now involved in this meat soort. Yours faithfully, Robert C. Lotz, 8 Bell Street, BOONAH Q 4310 0 ' - AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS-FEBRUAHY 1982 GLADSTONE GUM C%UE Former Gladstone President Jim Wharfon on Left, up and comer Barry Thompson, with Central Queensland 1982 Nurse of the year entrants Pafricia Laundry and Sue Jenkins. by Tony Corones Shooters. to a lot of people, are often regarded as second clws citizens and through ignorance are often treated with some suspicion. On November 29, The Gladstone Gun Club did its bit to demonstrate to the general public, just what clay target shooting and responsible use of firearms is all about. In what must go down as the biggest promotion in the history of the club, the 1981 Gladstone Gun Club Combined Charities Shoot was held. In the past, the club has staged small shoots for various charities in the area. In July this year it was decided to explore the feasibility of involving more than one beneficiary and promote one big day for the year, instead of We usual two or three. The charities involved were the local branch of the Queensland Ambulance Transport Brigade, The Gladstone Central Committeeon the Aged and the Queensland Cancer Fund who took the opportunity to use the day to launch its 1982 Nurse of the Year quest campaign. Gladstone Gun Cub undertook to run the shoot and enlisted the aid of the charity service groups to provide catering, refreshments and childrens entertainment. The Ambulance has it's own very effective auxiliary committee, the Committee on the Aged has the services of the Port Curtis Lions Club and the Gladstone Apex is committed to the Queensland Cancer Three ten target slngle barrel events were programmed and the club provided a gun,ammunition and a registered shooter for each competitor. As a result of co-operation from the local press and a magnificent gesture from local commercial television station, RTQ 7, who ran a 30 second commercial each night for 15 days before the shoot, free of charge, and an equally magnificent gesture by Channel 9, Brisbane in providing the actual film, 185 novice shooters and some 400 spectators experienced clay target shooting for the first t i e . In conjunction with the program. the club invited local firms to participate in a special team challenge and nominate a team of five of their staff Q represent them. This section proved to be a big draw card with 22 teams having paid their nominations before the day. Of course, the success of the day hinged on the actual ACTA members being there to do the work and it was very gratifying to see some 60 members from Gladstone, Rockhampton, Biloela and Central Burnett Clubs in there getting it done. A very special thanks must go to the local CIG branch who provided a trophy, a team of novice shooters and 200 sets 01 ear plugs for the use of the competitors. Rockhampton and YepNurse of the yea^ entrants also became involved and brought their own teams with them. Fu?d. A special program w& drawn up, with the novice shooter in mind, with safety and effioiency being the prime objeotives. AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS--FEBRUARY 1982 Cont'd over page Page 63 Cont'd from page 63. Of course, it wouldn't be a shoot without ACTA events and 40 targets were programmed for the club members, which gave the novices the opportunity to see some 'Backmarkers' in * action. In all, a great day was had by everyone and some $1,600.00 was raised for the charities, with a lot of people realizing clay target shooting was fun and the ACTA actually picking up some new members. 0 Each "novice" shooter had a coach. Jim Wharton helps local builder Graham Tobin to find a target. 0 REMEMBER ALICE SPRlNGS GUN CLUB o Local Army Reserve Charlie Coy 42 RQR.
