Byrnes Coach - Greg Chan Trap - Adam Vella, Michael Diamond Skeet - Natalia Rahman Lonato Italy Oct 17 - 23 World Cup Final Congratulations to Adam Vella and Michael Diamond on their outstanding efforts at the World Cup Final in Lonato. Adam won the World Cup Final Gold Medal after shooting a score of 143/150. Michael won the Bronze Medal after winning a shoot off with a score of 138/150 +2. Both are to be congratulated on the outstanding effort. Skeet Nationals The Skeet Nationals have just concluded in Western Australia. I must congratulate the members of the Western Australian Gun Club and the WACTA for their efforts and thank everyone who assisted in the organisation of the event. The grounds and facilities were excellent and the hospitality enjoyed by all made for a very enjoyable carnival. Congratulations to the South Australian team on winning the Open teams event, Victoria on winning the Junior and Ladies sections and Western Australia the Veterans event. I also congratulate the Australian Glenn Trophy team on shooting 249/250 to beat the New Zealand team. It would be remiss of me not to also congratulate the NZ contingent on winning 3 of the individual titles during the carnival. After the World Championships, the World Cup Final is the most prestigious tournament on the ISSF calendar. It is an invitation only event for the top 12 shooters in the world in each discipline. The 3 medalists from the 2002 World Championships and the defending champion make up the first four invitees. Points are awarded to shooters based on their final placing and score at each world cup and the top 8 point scorers are then invited to fill the remaining spots. This event brings together the cream of the world's best to go head to head. To receive an invitation is in itself a measure of achievement. Michael had won his start with his second place at the World Championships, Adam by virtue of his third at the Sydney World 2003 Registrations All 2003 Registration Fees are now due. Registration is $75 and $42 for second family members and veterans. The junior registration costs are $20. ISSF Nationals The 2003 ISSF Nationals in Perth will soon be underway (Jan 11th - 19th) I am sure that the support and hospitality shown at the Skeet Nationals will again be evident. The Trap and ISSF Skeet will be shot first followed by the Double Trap events. State team shoulder to shoulder matches will be conducted on each National Championship. We also have the National ISSF training squads being initially selected from these titles. I hope to see a good attendance at these championships. Double Trap Rule Change We have been informed that from Jan 1st the ISSF have changed the rules to include a 0 to 1-second variable delay in the release of doubles targets. This rule will be in effect at the ISSF Nationals as this will also be a dress rehearsal for the World Cup which will be held at the same location on March 6th - 15th 2003. Competitors are also reminded to nominate by the due time to be included in the draw for squad positions that are conducted for each ISSF event. Adam Vella — winner of the World Cup final.

He needed the 25 in the last round of qualifying to stay in touch with the leader who had posted a 24. The task of catching him in the final with a two target lead was always going to be a big ask, but you can do no more than focus on your own game, shoot to the best of your ability yourself and let the competition run their own race. When Pellielo missed his first target in the final, we knew he had left the door ajar. To his credit he rallied until he dropped his 17th and 21st targets to give Adam the lead. Meanwhile Adam was shooting beautifully and never looked like missing and his clean round sealed a most prestigious victory. Michael went into the final in fifth place and when he emerged tied for third it was always going to be a tough job for them to beat World Cup Final 2002 — 1st Adam Vella (Aust), 2nd Giovani Pellielo (Ita), 3rd Michael Diamond (Aust). Cup with a score of 123 / 125 and Natalia with her third in Shanghai with a 70/75. Greg, Adam and Natalia departed Melbourne on the 15th October to rendezvous with Michael in Singapore, to head to Frankfurt before continuing on to Milan. We were a little late departing Singapore and coupled with a stronger than anticipated head wind arrived into Frankfurt as our connecting flight was departing. A five hour wait was the bottom line so by the time we hit Milan we were pretty exhausted. Murphy's law says when things go wrong, expect worse. You guessed it, our guns were missing. Two hours later, after much searching and discussion with the airline, we were finally on the bus for the 2 1/2 hour trip to Lonato. By the time we arrived at our hotel, some 36 hours had elapsed since leaving Melbourne and to say we were tired would be an understatement. The two days of training we had proved invaluable , firstly to try to shake off the effects of jetlag and secondly to reaquaint ourselves with the Lonato range. This range is possibly the finest in the world with 10 trap and skeet fields superimposed and a great background, but a reputation of being difficult to shoot high scores on in trap and to a lesser extent double trap. Ladies Skeet 1 - Wei CHN 25, 23, 24 = 72 + 24 = 96 2 - Igaly HUN 23, 22, 24 = 69 + 23 = 92 3 - Panarina RUS 25, 21, 24 = 70 + 19 = 89 + 2 4 - Lepomaki FIN 23, 21, 24 = 68 + 21 = 89 5 - Demina RUS 22, 25, 20 = 67 + 21 = 88 + 4 6 - Meftakhetdinova AZE 21, 22, 21 = 65 + 23 = 88 + 2 9 - Rahman AUS 18, 23, 21 = 62 A nervous start by Natalia made her task all the more difficult, but she hung in there and her 62 was only 3 targets out of the final. Making the World Cup Final and having the opportunity to compete at this level will give Natalia added experience to go on to become a stronger competitor in the future. Men's Trap Day 1 The Italian Pellielo led the field at the close of the first day on 71, with Adam and Michael on 70 and four shooters on 69.

His record in shoot-offs is second to none and true to form he took the bronze medal in the space of two targets. The Italian Shooting Federation conducted a Grand Prix event in conjunction with the world cup final and this attracted many entries from the UK and Ireland as well as all over Italy. The top three shooters from each event then shot another final to determine the winner of the Barrage. Two of the qualifiers from the grand prix were Kevin Gill, the well known English shooter and Roberto Scallzone the highly respected Italian representative shooter. The Barrage certainly created a lot of interest with such a high class field competing. Adam, Michael and Pellielo the three world cup medalists all shot 25 and in the ensuing shoot-off Pellielo missed his third and Adam the fourth, giving Michael victory in the Barrage. That night we all celebrated Adam and Michael's success and boarded the bus at 5.00am for the airport feeling very much the worse for wear. That guy Murphy keeps popping up on these trips. You guessed it again. The flight out of Milan was delayed and when we reached Frankfurt the connecting flight was closed. We hurried around to the departure gate to find the flight had not left and were permitted to board, but our bags and guns would not make the same flight and would arrive the next day. The consensus was to get home then worry about the rest later. Australia had won gold and bronze at the World Cup Final, and the rest of the shooting world looks on in envy and wonders how we keep producing these results. Well done Adam, Michael and Natalia.

THANKS Firstly my thanks go to the WAGC for their presentation of the grounds I know from experience that this is a very time consuming job however Murray Alexander and his team of merry workers certainly deserve a well earned break after their hard work. Also my sincere thanks go to Rebecca, Sue and Julia in the shoot office. Their behind the scenes assistance ensured that the carnival ran very smoothly. I look forward to seeing everybody at the National Ground in November for the 2003 Skeet Nationals.

It began in Melbourne with the Victorian Trap Carnival, where several noteworthy things happened. For starters, the order of the events was reversed on Friday, shooting the Double Rise first, followed by the Handicap. I think this was a very progressive and innovative move, with several clear advantages, and I congratulate the people who initiated this change. First it meant that only one major trap reset was required during the course of the Carnival, rather than two as in the past. Then it saved time in the middle of the day, as converting from doubles to singles is much quicker and easier than vice versa. And finally it meant that when the traps were being set for Double Rise, the urgency was removed, thereby allowing for much better target presentation. The only downside of this change was that due to the speed with which the Double Rise squads go through, it exposed a potential bottleneck in the administration office. This was due to insufficient compartmentalisation of the nominations process and too few people trying to do too many jobs all at once (bless their little hearts). I’m sure that after a complete debriefing and a thorough review of the office procedures, this problem can be eliminated for next year, with a welcome reduction in the waiting lines. This year also marked my first official inclusion in the organising committee of my own State Trap Carnival. After many years “in the wilderness” I finally got a guernsey as Assistant Shoot Marshall. And I must say that I absolutely loved my first administrative experience where I did not have to accept total responsibility and bear at least the majority of the workload. Ron Traill and Trevor Smith are two of the nicest and most genuine blokes I know, and it was an absolute pleasure to work with them. I had not realised how enjoyable it could be to be able to “clock off ” from time to time, to go and shoot, or have lunch, or just take a break, and I sincerely hope I get the chance to be part of their team again next year. Now for the bad news! Prior to this Shoot, the VCTA had apparently had a bad experience with a prolonged shoot-off, for some team position, giving them grief. Instead of exercising common sense at the time and circumventing the problem with the sort of creativity that I am notorious for, they apparently allowed the problem to run its course, mucking up their day in the process, and then passed a motion at their next meeting to settle all future similar occurrences by count-back, which they then did not precisely define. If that is not the absolute definition of a triple-tiered “prize stuff up”, then I’m a Trench shooter. First off, in all my years of Shoot Administration, I have never had an extended shoot-off situation, with the potential to create a scheduling disaster, that could not be amicably resolved by explaining the problem to the shooters involved, and asking for their assistance in working out an expedient and equitable solution. Secondly, I have never encountered any count-back process that did not create disharmony, argument and ill-will. Similarly, I have never encountered any competitor who was involved in a count-back situation, regardless of whether they won or lost, who thought it was a pleasurable experience they would like to repeat. By the very nature of our sport, people who are tied want to shoot-off, even if that means standing on one foot and shooting over their shoulder in a mirror. And finally the term count-back is an anomaly in itself, which is Page 12 often further compounded by a lack of common sense, which invariably leads to attempting a literal interpretation of the term. Thus, most attempts to resolve by count-back involve reading a person’s scoresheet backwards and counting the number of hits until they come to a miss. What this proves in the real world is absolutely beyond me, and worse still, I have never heard any plausible theory as to why the biggest number thus obtained is any better than the lowest number, or vice versa. Analytical logic will show that it is nothing more than a complicated method of drawing straws, shrouded in a misty veil of “implied” relevance. The only method of resolution by scoresheet counting that makes any sense at all, is the one that most closely parallels standard shoot-off procedure. That is, count forward from the front, and the highest number wins. A good example of this is the NSSA rulebook, where the term count-back is intentionally avoided, and the system is referred to as “long-run”. I firmly believe that on any occasions where “non-shoot-off ” procedure is to be used to determine results, the method should be long-run from the front, followed by long-run from the rear, followed by straw drawing. However, I also firmly believe that any of these methods should be avoided like the plague, and only used in dire emergencies, and that belief will be reflected in my actions at the next VCTA committee meeting. Following the completion of the State Trap Carnival on Sunday evening, Qantas transported us to Perth for the Skeet Nationals and into the very capable hands of the new president of the Western Australian Clay Target Association, Mr Sam Forsythe. Sam has been very busily renovating his house ever since Christmas and finished it just in time to accommodate almost a full squad of visiting Victorian shooters, whom he thoroughly spoiled all week. Thank you Sam, not just for your generous hospitality, but also for the excellent job you are clearly doing with the running of WACTA. On the whole I thought the Skeet Nationals was a pretty good show, apart from the obvious problems associated with the required travelling distance for most people. WA Gun Club was presented immaculately as per normal, with their usual excellent infrastructure: good parking, timely rubbish removal, clean toilets, good bar, good food etc. Christine Alexander must have been a marine drill sergeant in another life. No-one else could run a ship that tight. Top job Mrs A! Thanks also to WACTA and in particular Shane Williams, who always arranges for a golf cart to be available for the tournament. The ACTA brought their usual staff and computer program, so the office also ran like a Swiss watch. There were a few trap hiccups, but with 10 layouts available, you just move along one and worry about it later. The wind was also a bit of a problem, ranging from fairly breezy to “hang onto your hat”, but at least it was reasonably consistent, so over the course of the week it averaged itself out for everybody. It made the target setting somewhat challenging though. But that got easier as we went along, because after getting burnt a couple of times by a wildly diving target, most people lost interest in the hoop and just asked for something they could at least get a reasonably fair shot at, which is my overlying theory anyway. Karen burnt a fair bit of midnight oil in the handicapper’s office, as for some reason a few WA gun clubs had been regrading in the middle of events, which needed reassessing, and apparently noone had ever explained the “handicap numbers” procedure to them. Neither point was really their fault, particularly the latter, which exposed some anomalies in the rulebook. I will attempt to get these addressed by the Rules Committee as soon as possible. Australian Clay Target Shooting News January 2003 About the only real problem I ran into all week was a couple of people who were confused as to why we were there. They apparently didn’t realise that our main objective was to establish National Skeet Champions, and thought instead that we were conducting the National Technical Refereeing Championships. They have a saying in the military that covers this type of problem. It goes something like: “Not on my watch you don’t, sunshine”. One of the main reasons I originally applied for the job of National Shoot Marshall was to try to eliminate this type of strictly technically correct, but morally reprehensible behaviour. People often ask me why I never shoot the ISSF disciplines. It’s not the games. I’ve tried each of them and they’re all fun. It’s not the shooters. Most of the top competitors are close personal friends and good people. It’s the rulebook! I hate both the way it’s written and the way it’s interpreted. If I can’t play fair, and play with other people who believe in playing fair, then I’ll take my bat and ball and go play another game, and that’s my prerogative. My only gripe with the whole ISSF scene, is that I believe that over the last 30 years or so, the mindset behind their rulebook has infiltrated and perverted the application of our Trap and Skeet rules. killed” mentality that has crept into our sport, and reinstate the desire to excel through skill and chivalry, rather than stealth and cunning. Issues such as gun malfunctions, ammunition malfunctions and time limits are only there to educate you not to inconvenience the other competitors by exposing them to prolonged or repeated sessions of avoidable nuisances. Rules designed to indicate that you should not play the game with sub-standard or worn-out equipment, or annoy other people with a bad batch of your reloads, or muck about all day instead of getting on with the job, need be interpreted with common sense and fair play in mind. They were never morally intended to wipe genuine people out of the competition, and the selective squadding process will eventually eliminate any such habitual non-conformers anyway by natural attrition, as sooner or later, no-one will want to play with them any more. The last thing I ever want to have to preside over again, is the National President of a visiting International Contingent failing to receive a target when he calls for it, and being told by the referee that it is already lost due to a time infringement, and that if he doesn’t shoot the option within the next fifteen seconds, it will be lost also! After receiving several severe “technical shaftings” as a result of this perversion, as well as seeing similar things happen to other competitors and friends, I have embarked on a “crusade” to try to stamp out this immoral invasion of what the inventers originally intended to be an honourable sport. I believe that after spelling out the technical and practical format of the game, our rulebook only needs three more rules. 1. Everyone shall play fair. 2. No-one shall cheat. 3. The person who breaks the most targets shall win. Everything else should only be a guideline as to how the game should be played for convenience. I suspect that the bulk of Trap and Skeet shooters from most States agree with my philosophy on this issue, as it is probably the area in which I receive the most moral support and the least criticism. This month’s Shooting Trivia Question: At the Trap Nationals there is one obscure trophy, which is rarely presented. It is the Parker and Holland Cup and it is awarded to anyone who qualifies for the Macintosh Team with zero points down. How many names are engraved on that trophy?

January 2003 Maryborough – winners of the Meadows Shield. As the presentations started the heavens really opened up and a torrential storm dumped about 75mm of rain on the grounds in about 1 hour. The presentations were delayed as President Tom Meadows could not be heard over the noise of the rain and the wind. Fears that the roof might part company with the clubhouse proved groundless but the tarpaulin erected at the front of the clubhouse to provide shade ended up as 3 smaller and quite tattered ones. As a finale the storm turned around and came back to dump a dose of hail on the grounds. Eventually the storm abated, the presentations were completed and shooters left to drive home.

We do not necessarily endorse the opinion of our correspondents. To: The Editor The response to my letter in the October Shooting news has no doubt created a revived and lively interest in our Clay Target Shooting News. My letter was not, and I repeat not, intended to be personally vindictive against Adrian Cousens or to detract from any of his considerable shooting achievements. My concern is that the likes of “Cuzzos Ramblings” does little to promote shooting and is a misdirected extravagance based on today’s constant adverse criticism of an ever restricting licensing program against us. There appears to be little effort by President John Byrnes, Adrian or anyone else involved in the ACTA working towards a unified body such as with the SSAA to counter the anti-gun lobby. If there is, I have never seen any evidence of this. We now have John Howard demanding stricter and tougher gun laws. This appears to be based on the bombing in Bali and the shooting by a Vietnamese student in Melbourne. We believe the Vietnamese student involved is not an Australian citizen and cannot even speak English, yet acquired a pistol license and owned seven hand guns. The police officer awarding this license should be fined and jailed, rather than penalising nationally all law-abiding shooters. In addition, what have bombs in Bali got to do with gun ownership in Australia? This is what we have to fight and every effort should be directed to a combined united submission to combat the ignorant, biased and very vocal anti-gun academics determined to destroy our sport of shooting. Worse I feel these people are a minority.

January 2003 News from Goulburn Clay Target Club The Alan Cramp Clem Rowe, yearly Memorial Shoot, was conducted on Saturday and Sunday 9 & 10 November at the Goulburn Gun Club. The weather was hot with a light breeze, this together with the smoke from the bush fires proved a challenge for shooters. The club was fortunate in having visitors from Sydney, Canberra, Yass, Crookwell, Bateman’s Bay, Queanbeyan and one member from WA. There were six squads competing most events. Saturday night’s shoot was proceeded with lamb on the spit and appropriate salads for members and visitors. This was followed by the Southern Zone double rise championship, and the Southern Zone Deauville Doubles championship. Sunday events were 30 target double barrel, 30 target point score, 30 target single barrel and 20 target handicap. The Southern Zone double rise championship was won by junior shooter Richard Hunt overall. Richard then teamed with his brother James Hunt to take out the Southern Zone Deauville Double championship. K. Nealon of Canberra won the High Gun Robert Smith another promising junior who recently won his way to the NSW junior team won the junior perpetual trophy. Goulburn Club is proud of our junior members who always show good sportsmanship and attitude. They always seem to be amongst the trophy winners. This High Gun of the day went to K Nealon of Canberra. The painting is now completed Richard and James Hunt took out the Southern Zone Deauville Doubles Championship. at the New Clubhouse. It proves and excellent venue for members and visitors. Phono pulls are now installed, the congenial fellowship of the Goulburn members, the quality of the trophies, makes Goulburn Club well worth a visit. Monthly shoots are held second Sunday 12.30pm and practice on the 3rd Tuesday 6.30pm. Particulars of events and inquiries can be made by phoning Robert Hunt ph: (02) 4848 0202 or Fraser Roberts ph: (02) 4821 8903. The Club President Mr L Cuzner is pleased to welcome visitors at any shoot. E D Hunt Acting Publicity Officer Coaches Corner . . . This will be an on going section in the CTSN. Shooters will be encouraged to send in questions each month, which will be answered by different senior coaches. So if you have any questions please address them to: Coaches Corner PO Box 466 Wagga Wagga NSW 2650 or email your questions to Rebecca: [email protected] and type in the subject line Coaches Corner. Q: As a new shooter how do I know what sort of shotgun to buy and do I have to spend a lot of money on my first gun? A: First, you decide what you want to shoot, Skeet, Trap, Trench or Sporting! Then you get yourself a gun to suit. You can get one gun to do the lot, but it is only a compromise, and that is what it will be. There is no gun to do the lot! You should get a good new gun for around $2000 - $3500. Such guns include Fabarm, Miroku and Beretta. Q: I am a AA grade shooter and have just bought a new gun and I am having trouble smashing targets. What are some of the obvious signs to an experienced coach if my gun doesn’t fit correctly? A: This is a question with 20 answers. You have not mentioned what you are shooting! Trap, Skeet, Sporting? You January 2003 should make sure that you are looking straight down the centre of the rib, preferably looking at a figure 8 sight picture, with the front and middle beads. I would like some more information to answer this question more thoroughly. Q: Why do I have trouble-shooting fluro orange targets as opposed to black targets? A: This is a personal thing with eyesight, mainly as older shooters have more trouble than do younger shooters. I have found that if I use a light orange lens, it suits me very well as I can see Black and Fluro targets well. Some shooters use red, but I have found that this makes fluro targets appear white, so as on bright cloudy days, this can make the fluro’s hard to see. My advice is to try different colour lenses in your shooting glasses. Q: I shoot using one eye closed but everyone tells me I should use both eyes open but I find it really hard to do that, what do you suggest I do? A: If you are comfortable with one eye, then there is not a thing to worry about. I have met World Champion’s who shoot one eye! If you want to change to two eyes, a simple way is to mount the gun on your shoulder, close your left eye (or right eye, if so) line the front and middle beads up in a figure eight (one on top of the other). Look out to where you will see the target, open the other eye, and call for the target. DO NOT look at the beads or barrel or you will see ‘two barrels’. You should see the barrel and beads in you peripheral vision at all times. Australian Clay Target Shooting News Page 21 Queensland Northern Zone Coaching Weekend An enjoyable weekend was had by 32 members from 7 Northern Zone clubs on the weekend of 19th & 20th October. This was the Coaching Weekend with well known coach Graham Boyd and stock fitter/champion skeet shooter George Barton attending, to pass on their knowledge. There was a good number of junior shooters and shooters of all grades to learn from the experts. Many of the shooters in atten- Some repairs between rounds. From the classroom. dance were at their first coaching weekend and the response from all was a positive one. George was busy till dark both Saturday and Sunday making adjustments to many guns. There were a good number of speakers available with many topics Back breaking work. the penny falls and the explanation to fix the problem seems much more clear. After the viewing of the first video most of the shooters visited George to see what may have to be done to their gun, and maybe fix the little problems they were having. Muzzel flip was the most common problem and a few minor gun changes and a little gentle encouragement from Graham saw many improving straight away. The juniors were taken out for some personal coaching by Graham while George did some stock changes for the senior shooters who were having plenty of practice to see how the changes helped. On Sunday morning the pattern board came out and many shooters were surprised to see where their guns shot. The ranges were great with guns shooting from very flat to one that was well above the mark. It was all explained to the shooters by George how the gun shot and what it meant in relation to the target. Graham continued working with the juniors with many of them gaining confidence and attempting other disciplines. Skeet was shot along with a bit of ISSF trap. This event had not been shot by many of the shooters and they were very excited to think they could give it a go and also get coaching on it at the same time. There were some families that never seem to have enough ammo with the targets free the shooting went on well into late afternoon. Everyone enjoyed themselves and gave good feedback to Wayne for future coaching weekends. To the tracks. covered from phycology, glasses/vision, food and health issues. A comment from one of Townsville’s well-known shooters that the talk on food and health was the most interesting to him. This is an issue that is always overlooked in Clay Target Shooting. Northern Zone President, Wayne Reeves and Townsville Gun Club President, Tom Comerford put in a lot of work to get this weekend together. The video camera came out when the shooters took to the tracks to put into practice what Graham had told them. After the first session the video was viewed with the shooters seeing for themselves what Graham was talking about. A lot of people don’t understand what is being said but when it is viewed on the video Page 22 The north rarely sees a stock fitter and it was greatly appreciated that George gave his time to help our zone. With the number of jobs he did, he could spend a week in North Queensland and be busy everyday, if he so wished. Thanks must go to Graham Boyd, George Barton, Wayne Reeves, Tom Comerford and the members of the Townsville Gun Club for their assistance in putting this weekend together. The weekend would not be possible if it weren’t for the support by Sport and Recreation Queensland. Thanks to everybody who put in time on the weekend and we hope to see you all back next year, much improved and ready for your next lesson. Australian Clay Target Shooting News Carol Betteridge (07) 47906222 (b/h) / (07) 47822455 (a/h) January 2003 Jacaranda Warmth It’s always hot around November in Grafton when the Jacaranda trees are in full bloom. This year as the day dawned for the Commonwealth Bank sponsored Grafton Clay Target Club’s Annual Jacaranda Classic everyone knew it was sure going to be that way again. Visitors from many Clubs were arriving as the temperature rose. Again Coffs Harbour CTC and Grafton CTC had organised a joint Clay Target weekend spectacular which included a draw for a coloured Television Set for those who participated in the full program at both Clubs. Many of those who were at Coffs Harbour the day before were again backing up for the hospitality of Grafton and the famed Jacaranda trees shoot off. Most of the Jacaranda Party had never seen Clay Target Shooting and were amazed at the accuracy and skill of our sport. Unfortunately Michael dropped a target and the resolute Graham Sweeney took out the prestigious event. Michael may have been disappointed at losing out in both shoot offs but no one could deny his splendid Possible of 125/125 for Overall Open High Gun of the day. Barry Cameron from the Grafton Club was all smiles when his name was drawn for the Television, giving his recently purchased TV Set a twin. After the prize winners accepted their trophies for the day from the Jacaranda Entourage, all set out for their homes looking skyward at a brewing storm which hopefully would settle the heat of the day and bring that elusive rain so desperately needed everywhere. Grafton at Jacaranda time is a special place and there can be no better way to enjoy it than shooting clays. Scrubby Creek Two-Day 5 & 6 October 2002 Barry Cameron, Rus Wesslink from the Grafton Clay Target Club with Patricia Feeney from the 2002 Grafton Jacaranda Party and Graham Sweeney, overall winner of the 2002 Jacaranda 50 target double barrel championship. As the day heated up, so did the shooting. In the first event alone, a 25 Double Barrel C/D, more than one third of the shooters came in with possibles. There was no question that the targets were exceptional and this was to be proven more as the day progressed. The second event was the 30 target Jacaranda Mixed Classic. Possibles were again shot and as the shoot off came down to the final two, Kevin Thompson from the Newcastle Club ended up as overall winner leaving Michael Hickey from the Glen Innes Club as the winner of the AA grade. The final event was the 50 target Jacaranda Double Barrel Championship. This time the shoot offs came down to Michael Hickey who was up against his good friend Graham Sweeney from Guyra. The Jacaranda Party Entourage arrived as these two settled into the Patricia Feeney from the 2002 Grafton Jacaranda Party, Peter McGuire, President of the Grafton Clay Target Club and Kevin Thompson, overall winner of the 2002 Jacaranda Mixed Classic. January 2003 Scrubby had a tremendous weekend, perfect shooting conditions fine and warm with no wind or rain and great camping conditions under the stars. We had 104 shooters who came from Victoria, NSW and all parts of Queensland. We had our highest number of lady shooters ever at our two-day - 14 in all. It was great to see so many C Grade shooters - 27 C11 and 8 other C Graders, 22 B, 26 A, 21 AA. If the handicap system is changed to front marker 15 metres, how many will we have next year? What chance have they got of winning a handicap event? We are supposed to be encouraging them, not driving them away from our great sport! The targets must be getting easier or our shooting captain getting older - we had 36 possibles for the weekend, a record. Great shooting by Lee Knight from Victoria to win the High Gun. He dropped only 1 full target and 1 point for the program. Double Barrel Championship was won in great style by Qld State Team Member B Powell after a very long shoot off - at least for Scrubby! Our Points Championship was won by our Victorian visitor Lee Knight. Deauville Doubles was won in tough conditions by the NSW team of G Baylis and D Lehman. Single Barrel Championship was won by that Mexican again - Lee Knight. Seven possibles were shot in the Handicap and it was eventually won by J Cormack from Roma - great shooting!

Fortunately the rain stayed away and the number of shooters (19) was ideal for one layout. Six shooters went through to the shoot-off for the memorial shield with Lloyd Ferry shooting a 50/50. Greg Lewins went through to station five to take fourth place with a 56/67. John Shepard lasted till station 7 to take third place with a 66/73, leaving Lloyd Ferry (last year’s winner) and Toby Witt (inaugural 1999 winner) to shoot for 1st & 2nd. Lloyd shot another clean round to total 75/75 taking the shoot-off to the fourth round. Unfortunately a low target at high one eluded Lloyd to take second place with a 75/76. Toby Witt finished with a 77/79. PLEASE NOTE: Shoot Reports are to be received at the ACTA office no later than 7 days from date of Shoot. Results will be published in the following months CTSN.

Well the “old” master Jim Riggs showed us “young ones” the way it should be done, with 6 possibles for the 2nd day. Although he was pushed along by Lil Javis who decided to miss her 125th target. Good shooting Lil! Four shooters went out to shoot off for the 30Target championships and all 4 were still there after 85 targets, then Bruce Powell went to sleep... and left three who were still there after 90 targets. Lil Javis and Garry Wright eventually dropped a target very much to the relief of Jim Riggs, who was still too stressed to ref the next event. Jim took out the High Gun for the weekend, Bruce Powell and Garry Wright took home the Deauville Doubles Championship Sashes. Not every shooter shot the skeet and DTL. There were 2 to my knowledge their names eludes me, but they are from Tasie. The lady has blond hair, she really wanted to participate in the skeet events, but I don’t think she was allowed! She did mention that she had a picture of a man in a skirt, not sure if he is her husband or just another shooting member in her home town in Tasie. There was a slight incident in a shoot off for overall, it went something like this “pull, bang, lost” all before the target left the traphouse! Once again no names mentioned! Thanks to the shooters from Bileola, Springsure, Rocky, Bundy and Tasie (Tasmania) and anyone I may have missed thank you for your support. I’m sure all enjoyed themsleves. All results will be in the CTSN.

But why do we sometimes fail when we are physically and mentally fit and ready to compete? Any why do we always seem to fail at the big competitions? Why do so many shooters feel they are ready for the State Carnivals or the Nationals; only to shoot poorly. More importantly, what makes a champion shooter achieve when the majority are overwhelmed. Whilst there is no one answer to this question, one of the important factors is arousal. Jeffery Bond from the Australian Institute of Sport sees our arousal system as a combination of mind and body control which some athletes are able to monitor and adjust naturally. Arousal can be defined as an energising function that is responsible for the harnessing of the body’s resources for intense and vigorous activity. An individual’s state of arousal can be seen as varying on a continuum ranging from deep sleep to on end (comatose state) to extreme excitement (panic attack) at the other end. (Williams, 1993:171). There are two major theories regarding arousal; the first is drive theory and can be explained by the following diagram: (PSYCHOLOGICAL 1) Which basically shows that motor p e r f o r m a n c e increases as arousal increases. An example of this is the psyching up of the football team before the game or when a mother performs an extraordinary feat such as lifting the car off her trapped child; the increase in arousal is responsible for the near superhuman performance. This theory however, does not explain individual differences very well nor does it explain the fact that performance can suffer if we are too aroused sometimes; trying too hard, getting too tense, losing of temper, becoming overwhelmed, etc. The second theory that has greater acceptance is called the inverted U hypothesis. This model suggests that up to an individual point, increases in arousal will be accompanied by increases in performance quality, but past this point any further increases in arousal will result in a decrease in performance. (Bond) The inverted U hypothesis can be represented in the following diagram: (PSYCHOLOGICAL 2) Its not important that you accept one or either of these theories but it is necessary that we understand the importance of the relationship between arousal and performance. Jeffery Bond of the AIS, believes that it is important to train athletes how to monitor their arousal levels. He states; “... conduct your own postperformance reviews where you check back over the performance and see if you can remember what your arousal system was doing January 2003 at specific times. Contrast the times when you were performing exceptionally well (arousal level was probably right where it needed to be) with those times when you made mistakes or when you performance quality dropped (arousal level too high or too low)”. Athletes are then asked to perform simple monitoring exercises. See if you can describe, by writing it down, the different feeling you had. Some of these will include physical features such as heart rate, breathing, muscle tension, body posture etc, and some will be psychological features such as concentration, attitude, what you said to yourself, emotions etc. (Bond) Do this review as soon as possible after the event to prevent yourself from forgetting how you felt and acted during the competition. As well as reviewing each performance, shooters can monitor and adjust their arousal level through relaxation. In a previous article, I examined relaxation as a technique for improving performance and in particular, mentioned centreing. I will take relaxation training further in future articles, but for now it is necessary to understand that centreing, according to Bond, will permit you to reduce your arousal level enough to regain control and to refocus on performance relevant cues. Bond continues by stating that the ultimate arousal reduction technique is to instantly recognise when arousal has increased too far and to reduce it by taking one or two centreing breaths. Centreing is a technique that is taught in relaxation training and is a highly developed skill in martial arts. The steps are as follows: 1. Recognise that arousal is too high. 2. Focus on your centre of gravity (a point in the middle of your body behind your navel; your balance point). 3. Stomach breath in (allow your stomach to expand as you breathe in rather than your chest). 4. As you breathe out, feel your centre of gravity sink down as you relax your body. 5. Repeat a second time as required. 6. Refocus on the task at hand using performance cues. There are other ways of reducing your arousal levels such as deliberately slowing down your movements, setting realistic goals, listening to relaxing music, calming self talk, visualisation of a calm scene, constant refocusing on processes rather than outcomes and so on, and it is necessary that for consistent high level performance in both competitions and training, you develop a set of individualised strategies for arousal adjustment, learn to monitor your own arousal level and quickly adjust when you become aware of the warning signs.
