Kemen Australia were the original importers of Kemen shotguns for Australia, and we are pleased to be working with them again. Many of our customers have experienced some frustration with our last distributor regarding parts and servicing issues. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused our loyal customers. Our shotguns are hand finished and custom made to the highest standards, and we experience very few warranty issues compared to similar or more expensive priced shotguns. We are aware that from time to time general “wear and tear” parts are required and can confidently advise you that. Kemen Australia now has a good supply of parts that are occasionally needed. In addition, we are pleased to inform you that a factory endorsed gunsmith, will be performing any warranty repairs. All Kemen shotguns come with a 10 year mechanical guarantee. We are currently finalizing plans for our factory master gunsmith and myself to visit Australia again to perform custom gun fitting for new gun orders. Also, we will offer a free and total factory service on all Kemen shotguns including retightening of older guns in circulation. Details of our visit will be announced well in advance and will be extensively advertised prior to our visit. More information will be available at www.spartanaustralia.com. Please visit our web site for current pricing and updates. We thank all our loyal customers for their support and look forward to servicing your needs once again.

ISSN: 1321-3903 The Association board met in Brisbane on the 12th and 13th of September to conduct all manner of ongoing ACTA business. The Championships report in this issue reflects the general satisfaction by members of the Nationals Programs currently being shot and therefore they remain unchanged. What I will try and do with this column into the future is stimulate some discussion to help us over some of the hurdles we face. Constructive input on these matters is always welcome. I have recently attended three annual shoots where numbers exceeded 100 and the atmosphere was great. Sponsors heavily contributed at these venues and certainly made the events worthwhile for the shooters. The small cost load on the club for trophies resulted in the clubs being able to provide better catering, hospitality and in one case entertainment at well below the real cost, and still achieve a strong financial return for the club. A win for all. Most sponsors at these local and regional levels seem to be coming from within the membership base, but at National level this is not the case and except for the exceptional sponsorship provided by Casella Wines over the last few years our Nationals sponsorship (although from our membership base) is mostly firearm industry related. It is a priority for the Association to generate more sponsorship from outside of the related industry and to date we have been successful with a major sponsorship for next year from Coopers Tyres and a smaller deal with AVIS. Anyone with other possibilities please contact Tony at the office. A recent mail out to non-rejoining members revealed some interesting trends. Some had joined other Associations, some had passed away and a small amount cited finances and cost for not rejoining. A large number had paid their club months ago, and some said they had not received an account. It appears that if more effort was put into retaining members we could grow our Association at a reasonable rate. Some clubs are great at chasing non-renewing members and some clubs do nothing. Some question the need for growth, but government funding, at all levels, political clout regarding proposed firearms legislation and sponsorship are all numbers games. Increased participation is of course the greatest resulting benefit to all sections of our sport. Should we consider a new method of collecting subscriptions, so we can deal direct with ACTA registered shooters, without our member clubs in the middle? We would need to be careful that we don’t dilute the screening that prospective members are exposed to by having to initially join through a club, but perhaps after being through this process the Association could then deal with them direct. The ACTA sending an account and collecting club fees, or renewing on our website could be possibilities. I welcome any suggestions on this matter. The support received form Tradesite holders at Nationals Championships is greatly appreciated, and I am sure we all want to see them there each year. We need to look at some way of getting more people through their tents, as it is expensive for them to be there with tent hire, security, freight, staff costs etc. We all know the costs of accommodation and travel these days. Shooters need to consider their purchases throughout the year and support the sponsors and tradesite holders, whenever possible. I also welcome any suggestions on this matter. Good Health and Good Shooting. Robert Nugent Front Cover Anthony Panetta from the Melbourne Cricket Clay Target Shooting Club is the ACTA Sporting Clays National Champion for 2010. The National Championships were held on the 28th and 29th of August. Anthony shot a score of 183/200 to win. A full report will appear in the November issue.

This process will start immediately with our template already available on the website http://www. claytarget.com.au/acta-results/club-shoot-results-submission Once you enter the information you can save it to your computer and/or print it out in hard copy. Then just hit the send button. This process will assist us in the office in compiling the Magazine and getting results on the WEB quicker. Your cooperation in providing these electronic results will be greatly appreciated. At this stage it will be progressive however those results sent via the electronic medium will be given priority. By December 2010 the office will phase out all hand written and faxed results. We are also currently updating our data base with an expanded capability being developed for the start of 2011 nominations in October 2010. It is envisaged nominations for National events will be available on line as well as access to Secretaries of Clubs to access their members registrations for renewal and updating. States will be able to access their coaches and referees details as well as the State membership. This will be strictly controlled via a login and password system similar to electronic banking. We are working on many new concepts to make the volunteers job easier and having a seamless change over that most members will not be aware of. 2 AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS – OCTOBER 2010 Executive Officer’s Report The National Office is busy gearing up for the opening of the new membership year which commences on the 1st of October. The Secretary’s pack will be updated and sent during that time with updated information provided in a number of areas. The cost of membership remains the same as last year. We are also currently putting together new ACTA Shooting Rules Book which will reflect the changes made through the Rules Committee and endorsed by the National Executive in June 2010. These books will be ready for distribution later in the year and will come into effect as at the 1st of January 2011. In addition there will be new handicap books which will start to be released to new and renewing members requiring a new book from October. The Association has already received a number of enquiries regarding assistance with promotions in a number of areas. These promotions mainly include field days, a popular place for shooters to be found. We have “packs” which will provide pamphlets, pens, key rings and banners etc to promote the sport. If you wish to use these packs for promotional purposes please contact the Association to book. We will send all of the gear out for you prior to the event. Clubs should have receive and filled out a survey of information to be provided to our insurers to ensure coverage of as many events as possible being conducted by Clubs. Currently we have to advise the insurer of “Extra” events not associated with the sport. We hope to be able to simplify this to cover the majority of events, however we will be guided by the returns and negotiations with the insurers. The National Sporting Clays Championships have been conducted with a disappointing field of less than 80 shooters. Those who did attend were in contention for selection for Australian selection for the World 5 Stand Sporting Clays Championships being held in New Zealand in February 2011. More details will be provided in next month’s magazine. The National ground is struggling to handle the enormous amount of rain we have received over the winter months. On the plus side the ground is the greenest it has been in ten years. The recent sealing of the roadway and car parking area has at least allowed us to get out of the mud. Many States are now gearing up for their Championships. With many experiencing record or near record numbers last year it will be interesting to see if the trend continues. With fine weather and strong competition the State showpieces should provide some excellent shooting. All the best to those volunteers running the Championships and to the shooters attending. Good luck Tony Turner Your National Championships Committee tabled its reports and recommendations before the full National Executive meeting held at our National Office in June and are now pleased to announce the following amendments to our National championships. It was the overall view that our 2010 championships were a resounding success and that pre-nomination and squadding is the way forward in providing a proficiently administered event. All National Championship dates and programs for 2011 are now available for viewing on our website. morning whilst the next day’s championship is underway. The National Executive has approved the recommended 2011 program and that it remain unchanged for 2012 and 2013. Pre-Nominations and Pre-Squadding The 2011 National Skeet Championship program will remain unchanged from the 2010 championship and will be conducted from the 15th to 22nd May. Entry into all our National Championships will be by pre-nomination, each championship will have advertised maximum entries per event, and nomination close off date. When pre-nomination close further entries may be taken on the day only if maximum numbers have not reached. Entries on the day will incur a $25 per event additional premium. Competitors wishing to be squadded together in events may do so if their entries are received as a group (this condition does not apply to ISSF events). Maximum entries per events Trap: 576 entries Skeet: 160 entries Sporting: 120 entries ISSF Trap: 125 entries ISSF Skeet: No Limit ISSF Double Trap: No Limit A Written application was received from the West Australian Clay Target Association to hold the 2014 National Trap Championships in Perth, which gained the full support of the National Executive. National Skeet Championships National ISSF Championships The 2011 National ISSF Championships will be held at the West Australian Gun Club in Perth in January, the program will remain unchanged from the 2010 championship. After discussions with Nick Sullivan the CEO of AISL we are pleased to announce that all of the championships in the National program now qualify for PQS scores this will allow our members more opportunities for selection and also give our National Championships more kudos. National Sporting Championships The 2011 National Sporting Championship will be held at the National Grounds in August and the program will remain unchanged. Reserve List When entries have reached their respective maximum numbers as set out above a further number of entries will be placed on a reserve list to fill any withdrawals from the championship. To assist our National Office with processing of nominations options will be available on the nomination entry form to indicate when to process their payment. Option One: On receipt of the nomination form. Option Two: Two weeks prior to the event. This will hopefully ease the rush of entries received in the final days. Full refunds will be given to all entries who wish to withdraw from the championship when a minimum of 48 hours written notice is received by our National Office prior to the event. National Trap Championships The 2011 National Trap Championships will be conducted from the 2nd to the 9th of April over 16 competition layouts, with a further 2 layouts for practice. The final shoot offs of each event will be conducted on layout 5 (Beretta) and layout 6 (Casella). Every opportunity will be given to finalise all events in daylight, for the Double Barrel championship this event will be conducted over 50 targets which will allow the shoot off to run for five hours, then if numbers permit the shoot off will recommence on the layout 5 (Beretta) and layout 6 (Casella) the following PHOTO COMPETITION Clubs/members can send Photo’s (Digital only) to the CTSN email address. If space permits we will publish the best of these. A picture will be selected every 3 months with the winner’s photo being published in the CTSN with an article & receive a camera for their Club. The overall winner will receive a full page gloss colour advertisement in the magazine for a shoot event (to be used in the next 12 months) * Each photo will need to be less than 6 months old. * The photo will need to be picture-ready for publication in the magazine (no touch-ups required). * Must be of Clay Target shooting or related to a shooting event. COOPERATION REQUIRED: CTSN Content and Deadlines The ACTA CTSN has grown substantially in 2010 with advertising and editorial content as well as Club reports continuing to exceed expectation. A decision to only accept CTSN content via email or the web will take effect as at the 20th October 2010. This includes Club results sent to the National Office. These report templates can be accessed through the ACTA web site www.claytarget.com.au or contact the office and we will email you through the electronic version or you can simply provide the report in WORD format via email. We have to cater for everyone fairly and equally. There is a limit to what we can do, if you leave your ads, reports or content until the last minute there is every chance we may not be able to publish it. Closing day does not mean we have finished our work at the office in relation to the CTSN. Collating and sizing the ads, stories and content is an arduous and complex task. Between Maureen and Ironbark Graphics they achieve a great deal in a very short time frame. As well as performing other duties the staff at the National Office have to compile all of this information and have it to the typesetter, have it set (including photos & touchups, amend ads where necessary), proof read, make corrections where necessary and then send to the printer. This then has to be sent to our Mailing House for distribution. Increasing the size or page extent of the magazine is ineffective due to cost. We have strict weight guidelines for the magazine that cannot be exceeded. The reason is that we are then thrust into the next category of postage effectively doubling our postage costs. If your ads, report, and shoot results are not in by the due date they will not be published. Get you ads, report, and shoot results in early to ensure you receive the coverage you want. If every Club was only late once every 5 years, we would have 4 requests per month for special treatment. Not fair to other Clubs nor our staff and contractors. OCTOBER 2010 – AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET NEWS 3 COMMONWEALTH TRAP CARNIVAL BREAKS DROUGHT IN WA ! T he Commonwealth Trap Carnival was held over 3 days 9th, 10th and 11th July at the magnificent complex of the West Australian Gun Club. This was a joint venture between the WA Gun Club Inc. and the State Association, the WA Clay Target Association. It was an extremely well organised and run carnival and sincere THANKS to all those wonderful and integral people who had a “can do attitude” and made things happen. Without this support and all the cooperation and cohesiveness of working together such a great weekend could not have happened. This carnival will long be remembered as the “Carnival that broke the drought here in WA.” If the farmers didn’t get rain by the weekend some were facing financial hardship. So what better way to bring in the rain by planning a major carnival and a free BBQ! So glad I never washed the car! The farmers were seeing dollar signs with every clay target thrown. The rainfall was unheard of with an extraordinary 95mm of rain being recorded in the 3 days along with hail, windy wet conditions. It didn’t take long for Whiteman Park to become a Lake and the ducks found new homes! Even thought the weather conditions were appalling, most competitors’ were keen to see how the most talked about and highly rated Canterbury Traps performed under such dreadful conditions. I can report back and say they were not disappointed. The traps were flawless albeit we did experience condensation issues with the referee controllers. Taking this into account and the heavy non-stop rains we got thorough what was a challenging weekend. The ladies in the office came prepared and we found another use for their hair–dryer, which not only dried off the score sheets but also doubled up as the drying station for the controllers. Having White Flyer targets being thrown from the Canterbury Traps made a huge difference. The targets were very stable, consistent and there was no shortage of ”soot balls” even in the wet conditions. 4 AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS – OCTOBER 2010 Whilst on the subject of the food, every morning Club members Rocco Priolo together with Giovanni prepared the heartiest breakfast you have ever had. Nobody went hungry and it was a great start to your day being greeted by Rocco and Giovanni. The Opening ceremony was held on Day 1 and opened by Mr Peter Michan of the Department of Sport and Recreation. The ACTA was represented by Mrs Elaine Forward and Mr Lynne Curtis and the Western Australian Clay Target Association President Terry Marsden along with the WA Gun Club President Robin Bailey welcomed everyone to Perth. With the Trap carnival officially opened the first event got underway. Event 1 was the 75 Target Champion of Champions proudly sponsored by Winchester Australia and as the weather just kept getting worse the event was re-name to the “75 Target Hurricane Hail Champion of Champions”. The Office staff couldn’t even see the shooters on the layouts as the hail pelted down. All credit to those competitors who competed in those conditions. The outright winner with a score of 122/125 was local favourite Tony “Bulldog” Burnard from the “Amazing Dream Team”. Congratulations to all the other winners from that event. 1st AA Grade Gary Kelly 170/175, 2nd AA Grade Geoff Faulkes and 3rd AA Grade Paul Finis. The A Grade division was won by Thaine Browning from Hobart Club 120/125, 2nd A Grade Phil House from Busellton119/125 and 3rd A Grade Denis Whitely from Mersey Tasmania117/125, 1st B Grade Geraldton Junior Ashton Lemmon110/125, 2nd B Grade Keith Roy Ch/Ch Tony Burnard 109/125, 3rd B Grade another Dream Team member Chris Smith 121/150 and 1st C Grade Peter Carley 106/125. 2nd C Grade Michael Walker 109/150 3rd C Grade Ian Walker from Kojonup 121/150. Event 2 was the Spartan Global Handicap and with the weather not improving it was time to find the gum boots and wet weather gear and brave the elements. Some shooters turned religious praying that the rain would ease but the Farmers just kept seeing dollar signs in those clay targets with every mm of rainfall! Hobart shooter Thaine Browning came across to Perth to defend his 2009 Commonwealth Handicap Title and it got down to a shoot off with fellow Tasmanian Dennis Whitely with Thaine achieving back to back Titles with a score of 57/57 off 19 metres. By the end of the Carnival Thaine became a AA Grade shooter off 21 metres. 2nd place went to Dennis Whitely off 21m, 3rd place was another Dream Team Thaine Browning Handicap winner Member Gary Smith, 4th Ian Grant, 5th PJ Forner, 6th Ashton Lemmon. 7th Arthur Pagett, 8th Gerard Maginess and 9th place winner was Steve Sayer. All the winner were very pleased to receive so much cash as prizes as shown by the smiles all around. Thaine as the overall winner received a shotgun donated by Global Spartan. With the end of Day one everyone went home to dry out and hope that surely the weather must improve for day two of shooting with the main events being the Single Barrel and Double Barrel events. With the dark skies looming over Perth and the continuing rainfall day two got underway with a hearty breakfast cooked by WA Gun Club members Rocco and Giovanni with most sitting in front of the open fireplace. Event 3 was the Commonwealth Single Barrel. Our major sponsor for the 3 days was Canterbury Trap International and a huge thank you to the WA Agent Wayne Kuser who was on hand to assist the WA Gun Club Trap maintenance team where ever possible during the carnival. It was evident to all competitors that there was a problem with the cordless voice release with the offending part being the referee controller. This was exasperated due to the torrential rain which somehow rain got inside the unit causing problems and we all know that water and electronic components don’t mix. Even though there was a problem it was a credit to all concerned in the way they handled this situation and thanks to Canterbury and Wayne Kuser along with the maintenance team who worked tirelessly getting it sorted the best they could under such extreme weather conditions. This information has been discussed with Canterbury and is being investigated. It must again be said that the Canterbury Traps were flawless and WA Gun Club now boasts having a fleet of 8 Canterbury traps. Now back to the Commonwealth Single Barrel Championship and it got down to a shoot off between Jarrad Baker, Amaro Daluz and Geoff Faulkes who all shot 50/50. It was obvious that none of these shooters wanted to stand in the ra Jarrad Baker in for a long time and after a rather short shoot off the Overall Champion of the Commonwealth Single Barrel was WA Gun Club member Jarrad Baker with a score of 53/53. Carnarvon AA Grade shooter Amaro DaLuz came in second wining AA Grade 56/58 with Geoff Faulkes in 2nd AA Grade 55/58. 3rd AA went to Geraldton member Gary Kelly. Other results were 1st A Grade Russell Jaggard WA Gun Club, 2nd A Grade Hobart shooter Thaine Browning and 3rd A Grade Matthew Waite from Albany. The B Grade was won by Junior shooter Jayden Vodden from Kalgoorlie and then is was “girl power” with Denise Page 2nd B Grade and Deb Norrish 3rd B Grade. C Grade 1st was Ian Watson from Kojonup, 2nd C Grade was Alan Cuthbertson and 3rd C Grade Peter Carley both from WA Gun Club. Sincere THANKS to Wayne Kuser representing Canterbury Trap International for presenting all the winners with their prizes and Jarrad Baker with the Overall sash and silver plate and medal. The next event, the 50 Target Commonwealth Double Barrel Championship was the main event everyone was waiting for, again proudly sponsored by Canterbury Trap International. By this stage nobody cared about the weather conditions because there were 22 possibles shot after the 50 targets. Great results under very testing conditions and a credit to all those competitors who shot the possible. Well 22 competitors went out and they were dropping out as fast as the rainfall! One by one they sought refuge back in the clubhouse near the warm cosy fire and then it got down to only 3 competitors. Tony Papandnakis from Darwin, David Fox from Collie and Arthur Pagett from Salmon Gums and there was no typical long shot off. Darwin AA Grade shooter Tony Papandnkis won with a perfect score of 161/161. 1st in AA Grade was David Fox 160/161 2nd AA Grade Brett Kuser 109/100 and 3rd AA Grade Jarrad Baker 106/107. Arthur Pagett who was in the OCTOBER 2010 – AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET NEWS 5 Albany, 2nd A Grade local WA Gun Club member Doug Berry 147/150 and 3rd A Grade Russell Jaggard. B Grade division was a surprise win for Don Forward who was talked into entering this event by daughter Tracy and with a score of 146/150 the smile was hard to wipe from Dons face. Not bad for a B Grader! Good shooting. 2nd B grade was Dream Team member Chris Smith 137/150 and 3rd place in B Grade was Geraldton Junior Ashton Lemmon 136/150. The C Grade division winners were 1st Ian Watson 129/150, 2nd Antionio Rechichi 129/153 and 3rd Peter Carley 126/153. The last event for the Commonwealth Carnival was sponsored by Winchester Australia who have been a long time supporter and sponsor of our sport. Sincere thanks to Winchester and Tim Steer for their support and generous sponsorship. Deb Norish 1st Lady, Jayden Voden 1st Junior and Tim Catling 1st Veteran overall shootoff won A Grade out right with 160/161, 2nd A Grade Jason Yozzi 3rd A Grade Dennis Whitely from Mersey Tasmania 101/102. The B Grade section was won outright by Esperance shooter Keith Roy 50/50 then followed by a shootoff between the 2 juniors with Jayden Vodden coming 2nd 98/99 and Ashton Lemmon in 3rd place 97/99. What an excellent shoot off it was for these 2 young competitors. Well done. The C Graders were 1st place Michael Walker and 2nd Alan Cuthbertson both WA Gun Club members and 3rd place went to Ian Watson from Kojonup. And that was the end of the Commonwealth Double Barrel Event all wound up before darkness prevailed! Day three of the Commonwealth Trap Carnival was here and to some it was like Ground Hog day! Up first was the Pont Score Champion- With the competition going so smoothly a break was called for lunch and shooters took advantage of the little ray of sunshine and got some Double Rise practice in for the last event. If you are familiar with Murphy’s Law then you guessed right. Once the competition re-started the Weather Gods opened up the heavens and the talk of the afternoon was how on earth did Lynne Curtis from Frankston Gun Club in Melbourne, in such appalling weather conditions, shoot 49/50 to be crowned the 2010 Commonwealth Double Rise Champion? What WACTA State Secretary Denise Page & Lyne Curtis a truly magnificent effort. Not many shoot offs for this event and with the 1st AA Grader Bill Sims and Dream Team member 46/50, 2nd AA Grader was you guessed it David Fox 45/50 and 3rd AA Grader PJ Forner 63/64 who had to work for his win against Geraldton shooter Gary Kelly. The B Grade division had to be decided by a shoot off between Keith Roy and Paul Murray winners with the final results being 1st Keith Roy 43/60 and 2nd place Paul Murray who said that it looked like he would have to give shooting away due to his health. But with a great attitude and a recovery Paul is back shooting his sport that he enjoys WACTA State President Terry Marsden and Jim Hamiliton O/A winner, Points Score Championship sponsored by Spartan Global ship. Only two competitors came in with the perfect score of 150/150 and that was Collie Champion David Fox and Narrogin top shot Jim Hamilton. Now Foxy was in yet another shoot off for Overall and going one more point than the Double Barrel previous event Foxy was runner up with 161/162 and Jim Hamilton was declared the Overall Champion for the Commonwealth Point Score Championship sponsored by Spartan Global. Jim received a shotgun for his efforts. David Fox was runner up and the 1st AA Grade with a score of 161/162, 2nd AA Grade was fellow Collie shooter Wayne Kuser with a score of 209/210 after a shoot off with Jason Yozzi who just got re-graded for this event into AA Grade and his score was 208/210. These winners were very pleased with their prizes from Spartan Global. The A Grade division was won by 1st A Matthew Waite 149/150 from 6 AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS – OCTOBER 2010 Peter Carley C Grade HG winner 386/475 Keith Roy B Grade High Gun winner. Score 418/475 immensely. His story touched my heart and all Paul wanted to win was a Commonwealth medal and when I told him he not only won a Commonwealth medal but Winchester ammo he was so chuffed. A well deserved win. The 3rd place in B Grade was won by Geraldton shooter Stuart Johnson 32/50. The C Grade division winners were 1st place that Kojonup champion Ian Watson 39/70, Tracy Forward who not only worked in the office but came in 2nd place after a shoot off 37/70 and 3rd place winner Alan Cuthbertson 31/60 The presentations were coming to a close and it was time to award the Thaine Browning A Grade High Gun winner. Score 457/475 Graded High Guns from the Carnival. Having Sienna’s of Leederville being our caterers for the carnival and grade High Gun sponsor, it was only fitting that Anthony Polarthus present the winners of each grade.

It was terrific to see several junior and lady shooters take part in this exciting and very skilful sport. The excellent amenities provided by the club offered shooters some difficult targets and included some that are less challenging to connect with. The weather was cool but ideal conditions prevailed all day, the club using orange top targets which were ideal on the day. Many thanks to Colleen Carmody, Layne Rowe and Michaela for their untiring efforts L-R: Reg Carmody, Brad Spalding. in maintaining the satisfying food during the days activities Front: Kacey Shale, Gaye Shale, Trevor Beach, and Ern Williams in maintain the handicap books. Lots of Anthony Pitt, Adam Shale effort goes into the setting up of the various traps for this discipline and dismantling everything at the conclusion of events, but it is all worth it when you see the smiles on the shooters faces when they are able to hit one of the more difficult angles presented. Yarrawonga Field & Game champion Trevor Beach once again was too hard to topple, taking out 1st AA & O/all champion shooting an impressive 90/110, with 2nd by junior shooter Stephen Penrose with another excellent result of 80/100. Matt LePoidevin won 1st in A grade with 87/110, defeating Reg Carmody on 75/100. Anthony Pitt shot 80/100 to win B grade and 2nd by Gaye Shale on 79/100. Junior lady shooter, Kacey Shale shot 59/100 winning C grade and 2nd by Brad Sparling on 57/100. Bradley’s results have improved dramatically of late, both in skeet and 5 Stand disciplines – no doubt due to some excellent mentoring from other more experienced club members always willing to help in a friendly way. Best Junior on the day was top Down the Line shot Megan Grassi, Best Lady, Gaye Shale 79/100 and Veterans award to Max Gribben on 59/100.

The weather conditions were ideal and the club presented good, consistent targets throughout the day. As the main event finished off relatively early, the committee decided to run a novelty cash divide event of 25 skeet doubles to round off the day’s activities nicely. As a result, shooters had the opportunity to shoot at 150 targets, and considering the time of year provided an action filled day. Thanks to Margot and Kelly Robinson for their expert duties handling the clubs canteen. Gil Farish won overall & 1st in AA dropping only one target in the main event ending with 99/100, 2nd was taken out by David Jackel on 98/100. Fab Francione shot 92/100 to win 1st in B grade, closely followed by local champ Kudri Demaj with 91/100.

Sporting Team members Noel Lillis, Debbie Young Paul McIver & Mike Swale OCTOBER 2010 – AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET NEWS 11 Psychological Skills for Shooting Michael Kruger-Davis THE INNER GAME: IT IS IMPORTANT Back in 1999 I started writing these articles for the CTSN. Initially, I was armed with an extensive knowledge of psychology and had been shooting most of my life and whilst I knew a lot about psychology and lot about shooting, I quickly found that I needed to learn about the psychology of shooting. When I started to research “sport psychology” for shooters, I was directed to The Inner Game of Golf by Tim Gallwey. Regular readers will know I found this book fascinating as it seemed to explain what was happening when each of us play the outer game of golf or shooting and the Inner Game of golf or shooting. Recently after a clinic I ran for the Southern Sports Academy golf squad I received this email from one of the team: “I bought the book “the inner game of golf” and I find that it is really improving my head game and teaching me skills I didn’t know there were.” I recently received a CD from the Inner Game foundation in USA which was a “conversation with Tim Gallwey” in which Tim talked about his books and the philosophy behind the inner game. It is interesting to note that the Inner Game Books were originally written in the seventies. Shooting, like all sports, involves two games; the outer game and the inner game. The outer game involves the sport itself; shooting the target. The outer game involves physical fitness, well fitting gun, reliable ammunition, correct stance and gun hold and all of the variables that are outside the shooter. The inner game involves mental fitness and relies on the individual to have trust in their own ability to do what is required. Inner game strategies involve concentration, mental rehearsal, awareness, attention, relaxation, goal setting, etc. The problem with either trap or skeet shooting is that an error will usually cost you the game or the match. There are rarely, second chances. In tennis, you can be down forty - love and still win the game; one or two poor strokes in Golf doesn’t put you out. However, depending on the day, 24/25 or 49/50 may not be good enough. If a person can do something as difficult and as complicated as shoot a small moving object 49 times out of 50, then the problem is not with their technique, equipment or ability. The problem is most likely involves the inner game. We miss because we doubt our own ability. To understand self doubt it is necessary to look at how the brain functions. Basically and for the purposes of this discussion, the brain is divided into two halves; the right side and the left side. These different sides play an Michael Diamond Coaching Clinics Be coached by a 2 time Olympic Gold Medalist Specialising in DTL, ISSF Trap and ISSF Double Trap Group bookings with a maximum of 15 people or one-on-one coaching is available You have to have a current shooters licence and coaching is available Australia wide Email your details to [email protected] 12 AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS – OCTOBER 2010 important role in our ability to shoot, play golf, tennis, etc. The right side of the brain is responsible for muscle movement and co-ordination. In shooting this involves seeing the target, identifying it, tracking it, moving the body, holding the gun correctly, pulling the trigger and following through. The right side of the brain does and can continue to do these functions effortlessly and continuously. All that it required is that the muscles need to be relaxed. The left side of the brain however, houses our language, analytical and judgemental skills. The left side also believes that our right side is incapable of doing what is necessary and therefore provides it with a barrage of instructions and “coaching tips” so that it can do it properly. In his book, The Inner Game of Golf, Tim Gallwey identifies these two sides of the brain as ego states and calls them Self 1 for the left side and self 2 for the right side of the brain. Gallwey found that when he was involved in a competition he would have to continually listen to a range of self-instructional thoughts. On closer analysis of these thoughts he determined that it was self 1 doing the talking, it thought he knew how to play and was supervising self 2, the one who had to hit the ball or hit the clay target in respect to shooting. Self 1 did not only give self 2 instructions but criticised self 2 for past errors, warned self 2 about probable future ones, and harangued him whenever he makes a mistake. These instructions and judgements lead to an increase in tension, which in turn tightens the muscles; the result, is that we are no longer fluid or relaxed and therefore we cannot perform to our potential. To summarise self 1 - the talking, thought producing self - is a lousy boss when it comes to control the body’s muscle system. When self 2 - the body itself - is allowed control, the quality of performance , the level of enjoyment and the rate of learning are all improved. Self 2 is the total human organism, the natural entity. Self 1 does not have a physical existence; it is a phenomenon of mental self-interference who can and does interfere with our ability to perform. For the brain to function closer to its potential the interference needs to minimised. This means that the basic premise of the inner game is; Performance = Self 2 (potential) minus Self 1 (interference).The object of inner game is to limit the interference of self 1 and trust in self 2 to perform and achieve. Inner game techniques involve applying mental training skills that enable the shooter to maintain concentration, optimise performance and achieve results. These skills are not just the province of elite sportspeople; they can be learnt, so we can increase our performance, enjoyment and fun involved in competition. Every time we compete, we make judgements as to our performance. When we are winning, we enjoy the handshakes, pats on the back and as a result we see ourselves and what we did as good. However, when we lose a competition or miss a shot, it is just as easy for us to judge what we did as bad. This value judgement of our performance has wide reaching implications. For example, for a right handed shooter, missing a hard right hand swinger from lane five. It is possible that self 1 will say something like: “.....you missed again, you always miss those right hand swingers, your’e really no good at these.” If left unchecked and you miss that shot again, self 1 will increase the criticisms and begin to make it personal; for example, “...you missed it again. You’re just no good at all.” We now see ourselves as the problem not just the fact that for some reason or other we missed that target. The first step to inner game success is to let go of the judgements. It is important that we see our performance as simply that: how we performed today. We must let go of the need to base our self image/esteem on what we have achieved or what we think others will think about us as a result of our performance. The second step is to trust self 2’s ability and to stop trying. When we give ourselves the instruction to try harder, what we are really doing is tensing and tightening our muscles. In short; trying fails. Once we can let go of our judgements and trust in self 2 we can go onto to quieting the mind.

HARASSMENT IN SPORT Harassment in sport can serve to drastically undermine the benefits of involvement in clay target shooting. The unfortunate reality is that clay target shooting, as a sport, is not immune from acts of discrimination, harassment and abuse, rather the contrary, sport provides an environment which in may cases lends itself to conduct which is not only inappropriate, but also unlawful. Depending on the nature of the case, instances of harassment or abuse in sport can have devastating effects for not only the individuals involved, but also the sporting organisation itself. Apart from exposing the club or association to potential legal liability, officials may be faced with low morale, an unpleasant environment, higher turnover of volunteers and the prospect of long-term damage to the organisation’s image and reputation. These are all unnecessary harms which the Australian Clay Target Association is anxious to avoid. All Clubs are required to abide by the Australian Clay Target Association Member Protection By-Law which reflects to serving and protect its members and participants throughout all levels of the sport. However, the adoption of the Member Protection By-Law itself is just the first step in affording our members and participants the protection they deserve. The successful implementation and enforcement of this Member Protection By-Law requires the cooperation and commitment of the Australian Clay Target Association members and participants at all levels. What is Harassment Abuse is a form of harassment and includes: — Physical abuse (eg. assault) — Emotional abuse (eg. blackmail, repeated requests or demands) — Neglect (eg. failure to provide the basic physical and emotional necessities of life) — Abuse of power which the harasser holds over the harassed (eg.coach-player or manager-player relationship) Discrimination Discrimination is treating or proposing to treat a person less favourably than someone else in certain areas of public life on the basis of an attribute or personal characteristic they have. Attributes and characteristics include: Age, disability, marital status, parental, physical features, political belief/activity, pregnancy, race, religious belief/activity, sex or gender, sexual orientation. All Clubs, Zones and States should appoint a Member Protection Information Officer (MPIO) All State Sport and Recreation departments offer training. This is not an onerous task. What is the role of the MPIO? The MPIO is there to support the person making the complaint and suggest how to best solve the situation. IT IS NOT THE ROLE OF THE MPIO to investigate. The MPIO should listen to the complaint and make suggestions on who to approach and how, also to assist the person to find the appropriate avenue for this process. To prevent these destructive and harmful outcomes from occurring, your club needs to implement and maintain practices and procedures which: — Protect your club’s members – including athletes, administrators, coaches and officials - physically and emotionally from harassment — Endeavour to get the right people involved in your organisation ie good recruitment — Protect your member’s personal information. Member protection is also about effective risk management of two of the biggest risks to your club – losing participants and harming members. The benefits of this approach are: — it is an effective deterrent to harassment — it promotes awareness of appropriate behaviour — it ensures that complaints can be dealt with quickly, responsible and effectively — it is often a requirement of funding organisations — it promotes compliance with the law. Benefits: — member protection information officer would ensure your club handled complaints in an appropriate and consistent manner. They do not investigate complaints but help the person with the concern to deal with what has happened. — Appointing someone in the role who is approachable, accessible and able to maintain confidentiality ensures people in your club have someone supportive to go to with their concerns and to access information. SHOALHAVEN SHOOTS FOR CHARITY Woolworths Stockland Nowra and the Shoalhaven Clay Target Club got together to hold a charity shoot at the S.C.T.C grounds. This event was to raise funds for the Children’s Ward at Shoalhaven Hospital. Club members were on hand to supervise each shooter and to help with the concept of how to actually hit a clay target. The weather was perfect and everyone had great time, with a couple of people showing quite a bit of potential. Shooters and supporters on the day I have heard through the grapevine that some have already been into Shoalhaven Shooting Supplies to check out the products on offer. The Club had on offer a couple of trophies up for grabs on the day for the most improved and the best on the day. Alex Kotevfki won the best overall and after a very entertaining shoot off Luke Piepenborn won the most improved. Congratulations to them both. Thank you to Craig Scott, Manger of Woolworths Stockland for his help and support and to the members of the S.C.T.C for giving up their time to make this a wonderful day.

Perth duo Michael Simunovich & Paul Miche were 1st & 2nd in A grade. 1st in B grade was Graeme Chittlebrough from the Peel & Districts club, 2nd was Regan Vodden from Eastern Goldfields. 1st in C grade was John Hallinan & 2nd was Deanne Blake. The 6th & main event was the The 50 target Single Barrel in overcast skies proved difficult with no possibles scored but the two most consistent shooters over the carnival in Eastern Goldfields’ 20 year old Royce Normington and Geraldton’s Tim Blakeney both scored 49 and went to the shoot off layout to shoot a round of 25. Blakeney was declared the winner after dropping 1 target to Normington’s 3. Billy Simms was 2nd in AA and 3rd was Cunderdin member Brayden Harris. 1st in A grade was David Andrews of Esperance 2nd was Paul Michie and 3rd Arthur Pagett. Wally Walsh was the B grade winner from Jayden Vodden and David Browning 3rd. Tom Birt was a popular winner in C grade from Damien Brown and Shirley Hocking. The ladies State sash went to Northam’s Melissa Deegenaars, Jayden Vodden won the State junior Championship and the State ATA veterans title was won by popular Salmon Gums member Dennis Pollard. Russell Day winner WA Auto Electrics DB CS with sponsor Richard Whitely The last event was the Tim & Joan Larcombe 30 target Medley Championship. There was plenty of interest in this event as High Guns depended on the results and none more so than the overall High Gun with Royce Normington leading Tim Blakeney by one point. Blakeney rose to the challenge & shot a 50/50 and went on to brilliantly win the medley shoot off with 150/150 from Mark Normington 3rd in AA went to Russell Day. Jim Sharpe was the A grade winner with 2nd & 3rd going to John Rourke and Tim Larcombe respectively. B grade winner was Bernie Mazza from Jayden Vodden and David Browning. Michael Walker was 1st in C grade, John Hallinan 2nd & Fiona King 3rd. With all events completed it was only the High Guns left to be decided. The open High Gun required a shoot off to separate Royce Normington & Tim Blakeney 297/300 again they went to do battle with Blakeney once again coming out on top and capping a marvelous weekend of shooting. Tim was presented with the beautiful Gold High Gun badge by sponsors and Goldfields members Shane & Cathryn O’Brien. Northam’s Melissa Deegenaars 279/300 was the winner of the ladies High Gun sash & gold nugget sponsored by Goldfields members Peter & Geraldine Nayda. The junior Melissa Deegenaars Ladies HG July Shoot Popular at Mathoura Jayden Vodden Junior HG The Mathoura Gun Club Inc committee were very pleased to see five full squads of shooters arrive to compete at their July 2010 shoot, a marked contrast to the June event, where, because of widespread almost torrential rain, only a handful of shooters arrived, and on discussing the situation the committee decided to cancel that shoot. Shooting clay targets under lights is a little more difficult than day competition, and some shooters just put it in the too hard basket, or having tried and been unsuccessful do not attend night shoots, so for five full squads to attend a small club is really a very good roll up. A carry over of the main event from the June shoot may have helped lure some. Euroa, Bendigo, Deniliquin, Echuca and Moama were areas most arrived from and starting with a 10 target Double Barrel Cash Divide; three shooters managed all ten, Peter Wilkie, Leigh Knight (Bendigo) and John Berryman (Echuca), all shared the cash. Tim Catling Veteran HG High Gun sash & nugget was won by another Eastern Goldfields member in Jayden Vodden and it was great to see him back in top form. Local prospector & club member Bernie Mazza was the junior sponsor and also sponsored the veteran High Gun which was keenly contested and eventually went to clay target shooting legend Tim Catling from Katanning. The Arthur Pagett sponsored graded High Guns were also keenly contested with Royce Normington the AA winner, A grade winner was Paul Michie, B grade winner was Bernie Mazza, C grade winner was Michael Walker. The weekend concluded with a magnificent meal including a pig on a spit (proudly presented by Shane Nayda), fish on the Webbers (Tim Larcombe), and beef, salads & veges by Sue Rowle and ladies who did the club proud with the weekend’s catering. PS with club Laurie Fitzpatrick OA rslake president Roger Ke Event Two, a 25 target Points Score Championship, and with no shoot off required Euroa member Laurie Fitzpatrick losing only three points collected the Overall Winners Sash and 1st in A grade trophy with his excellent 72/75 result, Echuca’s John Berryman shooting an 67/75 collected 1st in B grade, and Deniliquin member Rod Wharton shot an 61/75 to give him a 1st in C grade trophy. The third event was the carried over June event, which was, a 25 target Handicap, and although no one could manage to hit all 25 targets three shooters ended on a very credible 23/25. Shooting off to decide the winner, Rod Wharton was first out collecting 3rd place on a 25/28 score, next out was Laurie Fitzpatrick taking out 2nd place with his 28/31 score, and that left Drew Healey, an Echuca member, sitting high on his result of 29/31, earning him the Overall Winners Sash for his very good shooting. Although it was a big night getting all those shooters through, everything ran very smoothly, and even the presentations were over before midnight.

The Holtfreter family arrived in Northam in 1945 and established Holtfreter Engineers. There was Roy’s father, Max and his two brothers, Denny & Brian. The business subsequently became one of the largest employers in Northam and a most successful enterprise. Little wonder then that the organisations that Roy became involved in, felt the benefit of his ability; such as the town’s football club Roy in 1991 (Secretary for four years), foundation member of the Northam trotting club, foundation member of the Northam rodeo committee and member for seventeen years. 1n 1952 Roy became interested in clay target shooting, which turned out to be very fortunate for the sport, not only in Northam, but in Western Australia and Nationally. In 1953 he convened a meeting to form the Northam & Districts Gun Club and has been a committee member since its inception and president for five years. At a meeting in Geraldton in 1955 he assisted with the formation of the West Australian Clay Target Association and was the Northam club’s delegate to that Association till 1992 and it’s president from 1965 to 1968. 1979 saw him elected as the West Australian delegate to the Australian Clay Target Association and then to its management committee. Then in 1981 was elected vice president and president in 1984 a position he held till 1988. Life membership was bestowed on him by the Northam Clay Target Club and the West Australian Clay Target Association in 1979 and in 1982 the Australian Clay Target Association also made him a life member. Perhaps the greatest honour he received was in 1988 when the Australian Clay Target Association awarded him the presidential medal in recognition of his contributions over the years to the sport. In 1991 Perth was selected to run the World Trap & Skeet Championships, Roy was elected chairman of the organising committee. 1980 he was manager of the WA team at the Sultan of Jahore’s birthday championships, held in Malaysia, 1985 manager of the Australian skeet team to San Antonio Championships in Texas U.S.A. Other position he held were Australian Handicapper 1979/81, Australian Rules Supervisor 1982/85, WA Referee Examiner, Westralian Sports Person of the Year (Clay Target Shooting) 1991, Northam Sports Star (Senior)of the Year 1986, The Fred Killick community Service Award 1991 & nominee 2000, elected first life member of the Northam Club Inc (Est 1901) in 2003. While all this was going on, one could be excused for wondering how he found time to compete, somehow he did, and there would be no doubt in the minds of the other competitors that Roy was in the event he would be hard to beat, especially if there was a shoot off. To list all the events Roy won would be difficult indeed, however it can be said with reasonable accuracy that around Australia he won: 34 Club Championships, 31 District or Zone Championships, 17 State Championships, 7 Commonwealth Championships, 6 National Championships, 4 Field Championships. In addition to these he qualified for the Australian Trap team 3 times, Australian Skeet once, State Trap team 21 times, State Skeet team 13 times & State ISU Skeet team once. The Sherriff: How Roy came to be affectionately called The Sherriff is somewhat of a mystery, but somehow it seemed to fit, and when problems arose, as they often did, either at events or meetings, The Sheriff was always there to help get things back on track. To be extremely competitive and at the same time be a true sportsman is not always easy, but Roy fulfilled both these attributes, and was never heard to find excuses when beaten, sometimes he would say “I just didn’t shoot good enough” and was always the first to congratulate the winner. Roy will be remembered for many years in the shooting fraternity for his honesty, sense of fair play, sportsmanship and his capacity for sheer hard work, and not the least, when shooting was over his fellowship. We will miss The Sheriff. Geoff Way Canberra International Five Stand Three squads of shooters were greeted by a seemingly early Spring morning, however, as the day wore on the wind swung to the south and the cold wind came straight off the Snowies. While the course this month had a wide range of targets, the range was set to encourage the newer shooters with targets which were challenging but not seemingly impossible to hit. OA winner Rodney Kniepp (L)receiving prize from Five Stand Coordinator John Sankey 16 Our Coordinators broke with AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS – OCTOBER 2010 tradition and offset the shooting stands to one side to further vary the crossing targets. In addition to our local members, shooters from Cooma also attended and it was pleasing to see a few new faces trying out this increasingly popular discipline. Results were as follows: OA/A Grade Rodney Kniepp 93/100, 2nd Simon Weeding 92, B Grade John Taylor 71, C Grade Marg Warriner 38. Since we have regularly started shooting Five Stand competition, we have only had 2 clean rounds which were shot during this event, and our congratulations go to Simon Weeding and Rodney Kniepp. B Grade Winner John Taylor Our thanks go to Terry Forest who kept up the hot food to us throughout the day and to all the people who pushed the buttons and helped pull down the range. Additionally we would like to thank member Dave McCarthy who built and delivered to the grounds five new shooting stands.

Our clubs wish to thank those shooters who have supported the circuit shoot since it’s inception and have continued to travel long distances to compete, to name just a few, Warrnambool, Frankston, Morwell, Wonthaggi, Melbourne, Stawell, this year we welcomed four shooters from Spring Bay Tasmania who made the trip over for our shoot. We also appreciated the support from clubs closer to us. Thank you one and all. To all the helpers over the three days, referees, scorers, trappers, office staff, kitchen staff and any others who helped in any way, a big thank you your imput made for the smooth running of our competition. Hope to see you all again next year bring some mates with you all will be most welcome. Junior HG over 3 days Ryan Barnes with Jamie Hogg OCTOBER 2010 – AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET NEWS 17 Shooters’ Views What is our future??? This year I have been to the ISSF Nationals Brisbane, the World FITASC Championships at Lang Lang, the Trap Natioals and the Skeet Nationals at Wagga and coming up the ACTA National 5 Stand at Wagga, SSAA National 5 Stand at Wodonga and then the National Field and Game at Kingston SA, FITASC Nationals in WA. Wow how many different forms of clay target shooting we have to choose from. Our ACTA junior numbers are low, some clubs do not have a single junior member, we are not going the right way as far as our future in clay target shooting is concerned. But the juniors are out there that is the good news, I believe the fact there is a choice now in what form of clay target activity a shooter can attend the deciding factor more than ever is “how much fun is it and what will it cost me to do it”. Add to this a wife or husband and one or more “junior shooters” the answer is very easy for most people. Now the problem is this, I would not like to know where we all might be now if Michael and Russell did not win their Gold Medals when they did??? The sporting world Writers must state their membership number, full name and address. Where possible, letters should be typed. The ACTA reserves the right to edit any letter. The ACTA does not necessarily endorse the opinion of our correspondents. survives around Gold Medals, our sport more than ever has to keep producing Olympic Medals, sorry to say this but National Trap, Field and Game or any one of the other forms of clay target shooting will not replace the Olympic medal as a help in securing our future. What am I getting to is we need a BIG increase in young shooters now in our sport. Is it already too late, I hope not but there is a 15 year gap in our ISSF shooters now. But in saying that I know from my travels this year the shooters that would fill that gap are out there now but not shooting ACTA events. The time is now to bring ALL clay target shooters together as one body but still with their own association eg one membership cost, all associations cost the same to join but you only need to join one and you can compete in all the others, one card with ALL disciplines recorded in it, this would allow every shooter in any discipline the opportunity to experience all forms of clay target shooting having fun and with affordable cost. Big changes are needed now or we will be in history books as a sport once played. Graeme Boyd , Member number 811 TERRIFIC WEEKEND AT COWRA Last weekend saw Cowra Gun Club host the annual Cowra Gold Cup. The highly successful clay target shooting event was supported by over 100 competitors each day from across NSW.

The Overall High Gun champion for the weekend was Wayne Dunbar with an extraordinary score of 383/385. Many local shooters performed very well and it was great to see the prizes distributed far and wide. Cowra Gun Club would like to thank the many sponsors who gave support which enabled the weekend to be such a success: Kendal St Newsagency, Cowra Diesel Service, Horsley Park Gun Shop, Mark’s Pumps, MineBiz, Allan Gray & Co, Cowra Bus Service, Vera Jewellery Cowra, NC Bellamy Cowra, Cowra Truck Wreckers, Cowra Tyre Power, Beechers Wool, Hutcheon & Pearce, Philpott Funeral Directors, Cowra Services Club, Cowra Shire Council, Clay Target Co, Cowra Bowling Club, Cowra Machinery Centre, Town House Hotel/Motel and Riverside Tranport. The weekend was such a friendly, well-organised event that many shooters took the opportunity to secure accommodation for next year before heading for home. FUTURE DIRECTION OF THE SUNSHINE COAST CLAY TARGET CLUB INC The Sunshine Coast Clay Target Club Inc. is still looking for land to build a Clay Target Complex on, for the Sunshine Coast members and all shooters. The Club held its Annual General meeting on the 17th August 2010 and a new committee was elected to take the club forward into the future. President: Quinto Porfiri, Vice President: Scott Trafford, Secretary: Gordon Watson, Treasurer: Jim Trafford. Committee Members Grant Mason, Graham Noffke, Dillon Noffke, Peter McAndrew and Rhett Trafford. Patron: Mark McArdle MP Member for Caloundra. The Sunshine Coast Clay Target Club members have travelled to the Caboolture Clay Target Clubs grounds for the last three years for its club shoots. This was successful in the short term, but gradually the club members have lost interest in travelling and the shooter numbers have fallen. The club fellowship is non existent. Club practice days have ceased due to the distance members have to travel. Training of juniors and the school students are a thing of the past. The new committee accepts the challenge to keep the club viable and find new grounds for the club members, it will not happen over night. The committee is still negotiating with our Local Council and State Government for suitable land. The committee passed a resolution to have the final club shoot in September at the Caboolture Clay Target Club and then hold a yearly two day shoot in its district to keep the club operational until suitable land is located. The club will operate as usual, receiving membership and club dues for its members on the Sunshine Coast. The Club will retain its affiliated shoot day (the Third Sunday of each month) and hold committee meetings to attend correspondence and general running of the club. The Sunshine Coast Clay Target Club would like to thank the Caboolture Clay Target Club for their generous assistance to our club in its transition period by allowing our club to hire their complex over the past three years for our club shoots. “Thank You” Caboolture.

Certainly no one could brag about the weather, it being bitterly cold with strong gusty wind, making the shooting of clay targets in single barrel discipline extremely difficult, but the alternative of rain would have been far worse. A very pleasing attendance of 177 boys and girls, attempting to shoot their way through to the finals held in Bendigo on the 6th of September. A large number of schools had students competing, 23 in total, and even though the weather was not conductive to good scores, competition was fierce, with four students managing to only drop two targets out of twenty.

All four shot off to decide an overall winner. Being only single barrel shooting, the shoot off’s are run best of five targets, continuing in brackets of five until there is a winner.

There were 18 zone members attending from Port Macquarie, Boggabri Gunnedah and Kempsey clubs. The group was made up of junior and open shooters but was restricted to C graders only. Graham opened the day with a short talk and following that all participants went to the pattern board to see exactly where their guns were patterning. Following this they were put into squads and went to the traps to shoot some targets while Graham cast his eye over each of them giving advice and tips on what might help them achieve more broken targets. The day concluded with a small single barrel competition that was won by junior shooter Beau Powick.

The club had over $5000 worth of cash, shells and medals spread over four events and at the close of nominations there were just over fifty competitors on the Saturday and Sunday. The weather forecasters did not help with the nominations and Saturday morning saw light rain falling but cleared before the end of the first event to a warm and dry day. The club this year was able to open a third trap layout with assistance from the Hastings Valley Hunting Club and all shooters were impressed with the outlook as well as the layout. ACTA clubs represented were Cecil Park, Cessnock, Grafton, Kempsey, New South Wales, Taree –Wingham, Richmond River, Newcastle Lake Macquarie, Camel Hill, Boggabri Gunnedah, Warren, Narromine, Tamworth, Coffs Harbour, Treloar and of cause Port Macquarie.

The last event for the day was the Port Batteries 15 pair Double Rise. As we all know the results in this event can and probably would affect the outcome of the High Gun awards at the end of competition. The overall winner was Cesar Diaz from the Newcastle Lake Macquarie club following a shoot off with Port member Steve Wallis. Cesar shot 33/40 and he took the Championship Medal and the cash prize. After all squad sheets were checked there was only one possible shot. Grafton member Tony Ryder took overall first place in the Hastings 100 and the Championship Medal with a score of 100/100.

Although the committee was slightly disappointed, it was still a reasonably good attendance, and the entire shoot ran smoothly all day with some excellent scores recorded in all events. The Double Barrel Championship, in particular, started off with two full squads of shooters in the shoot off, all with full scores, and continuing on until there was just two Echuca members still going, Craig Fitzgerald and Rob Viney, and when they had both shot target 180, and daylight was starting to lower, they both decided to share the honour of Overall Dual DB winners Winner and 1st in AA L-R Craig Fitzgerald, Rob Viney grade both on a magnificent 180/180 score. “Good shooting gentlemen”. result, Echuca members Ian Phillips and Conrad Robb picked up 1st and 2nd in A grade, Ian on a 59/60, and Conrad on 58/60. B grade 1st was Joanne Boyer (Castlemaine) 54/60, B 2nd was Villya Vogelzang (Mansfield) 52/60, C grade 1st Barry Rogers on 44/60 with Hugh Nihill scoring 40/60 to collect 2nd in C, both these shooters are Echuca members. A 20 target Single Barrel graded cash divide was the 2nd event for the day, and R Viney, S Atkins, C Fletcher (Cohuna), and Trevor Hicks (Num/Shepp) were the money collectors in AA grade, all on a 20/20 score. Gordon Fletcher (Cohuna) and I Phillips grabbed the cash in A grade, both on 18/20, J Boyer and J Berryman picked up the cash in B grade both on an 18/20 result, and Kim Moroni a Bendigo member collected all the C grade cash, Kim shooting a 17/20 score. A 20 target Handicap was next on the list and at the end of an eleven target shoot off, Colbinabbin member, Geoff Palmer came out victorious, collecting 1st place with his 31/31 result, Echuca member Rhys Eeles the last to drop out of the shoot off taking 2nd prize with his score of 30/31, Casey Fletcher picking up third place with a 27/28 result. A new addition to Echuca’s shoot program is called the “Club Mug” where the grades of shooters determine the meterage they start shooting on, initially shooting ten targets double barrel and if successful then working their way back to end up shooting off the 25 meter mark, until a lone shooter stands, and wins the pool of cash in the kitty. On this day Cohuna member Casey Fletcher ended up shooting a 22/22 score to collect a handy $80 prize. A grade in the Double Barrel went to club president Ron Traill 24/25, B grade was won by John Berryman also posting a big score of 117/118, and finally C grade was collected by Hugh Nihill on a 17/20 result, all winners in this event were Echuca club members. The first event for the day was a Points Score Championship, and Echuca member Leigh Fitzgerald claimed the Overall Winners Sash, and 1st in AA grade with an unbeaten full score of 60/60, after a short shoot off Craig Fitzgerald claimed 2nd in AA with an 80/81 Leigh Fitzgerald OA PS Casey Fletcher Club Mug Winner Throughout the day Skeet shooting was available to whoever wished to try their skill, and even with the large program that was run on the day, all events, and even the presentations, was all over by 6.00pm. A very pleasing thing happening in the sport of clay target shooting is the number of junior girls and ladies competing in the sport now, and being very successful. Murray Roberts Port Macquarie 2 Day Carnival Continued from page 59 At the end of the day the last item was to work out the High Gun winners from the two days.

An excellent roll up of shooters travelled from Sunshine Coast, Gladstone, Rockhampton, Maryborough, Gympie, Tarawera Pistol & Gun Club, Central Burnett, Brisbane, Redcliffe, Barcaldine, St James (Vic), and Bundaberg. It was pleasing to see a good roll up of our own shooters attend. The day progressed really well with no interruptions or breakdowns. It is always good to finish the day reasonability early letting the travelling shooters get on the road before dark. The day produced good targets with some wind but not too bad and no arguments.

The Squire reports from West Wyalong It was a great winter’s morning and four squads turned out for the West Wyalong Clay Targets Club July shoot. Dozer had everything under control with the computer in the office and the day began promptly with a 10 Target Handicap Eye Opener and seven shooters, including club members, Wayne Ambrose, Dozer Collins, Mat Patmore and father and son Don and James Turner shot the perfect score. It was good to see Wayne Ambrose back at the traps, he is obviously recuperating from his serious injuries and enjoying his shooting again. However, Luke Ellison, Clive Foster and Mat Patmore all shot 117/120 to share AA Grade. Steve Schiller 113/120 won A Grade from a late starting Gram Duncan 111/120. Narelle Ambrose is shooting very well and scored 101/120 to win B Grade from Allan Schirmer 100/120. James Turner is also shooting well and won C grade with his score of 104/120 from Allan Lewis. With the slick organisation and cooperation from shooters there was still plenty of time at the completion of the scheduled program and it was decided to run a 50 Target Double Rise Cash Divide scratch event for those who did not have a home to go to. It was Narelle Ambrose, however, who proved to be the best handicap shot on the day with 32/33 in the 30 Target Handicap event. Narelle on 18 metres accounted for Steve Schiller on 19 metres with his score of 31/33 and Wayne Ambrose from 20 metres who scored 35/38 to place third. This group made up two squads who shot the event with Mat Patmore scooping the pool with a very good score of 49/50. Dozer Collins, who had been very unhappy with his performance in the previous double rise event scored 46/50 and take second money. The 80 Target Medley comprising 20 Targets Double Barrel, 20 Targets Single Barrel, 20 Targets Points Score and 10 Pair Double Rise certainly tested the shooters’ skills and even the top shots at the shoot were unable to shoot the event clean. It was a really good shoot made easy to organise because of the readiness of club members and visitors to cheerfully help out with the refereeing, scoring and the myriad of tasks that go towards running a successful shoot. Mat Schiller was High Gun over the advertised program with 155/160. OCTOBER 2010 – AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET NEWS 61 RICHMOND RIVER CLUB NEWS T HE END OF AN ERA occurred at Richmond River Gun Club on Saturday, 14th August 2010 when Peter Brown, who has served the club with diligence and dedication in the position of Secretary since 1987 decided not to stand again. Peter started clay target shooting in 1982 at the age of 35 and quickly became one of the club’s best shots. He has represented the Northern Zone and won numerous championships both at home and away. Business pressures and a desire to do some travelling meant that Peter would not be able to devote as much time to Club administration as is necessary so he made the decision to step aside this year. At the club’s Annual General Meeting held on Saturday, President Mike Sullivan paid tribute to the oustanding contribution made by Peter over the years, particularly through the club’s tough times and that sentiment was expressed by all present through acclamation. Jim Cornwell Handicap winner Milgatge (109/125) from Jamie Beddoes (98/125) Peter Brown, Lif e Member, retir ing from position Secretary after of 23 continuous years and winner of A Grad e Champion of Champions Geoff Jacobsen (formerly Treasurer) has taken over the role as Secretary and can be contacted by phone on 0266860870 or by email at [email protected]. Don Johnson (17M) Peter Brown (19M), Ray White (21), and Kim Nealon (25M) had dropped only one target each and headed back to the layout to shoot off for the minors with Don securing 2nd after just two extra targets, and Ray third shooting 37/39. Mike Sullivan was re-elected as President. Mark Formaggin and Phil Westbury were returned as Vice Presidents and Rhonda Jacobsen is Treasurer. Warren Beddoes and Dick Powell are new committeemen alongside the experienced Geoff Pringle and Peter Brown. Brownie must have wished Kim Nealon had either stayed home or gone somewhere else after another shoot off won by Kim for the daily High Gun. Mike Sullivan took home his first gold rimmed tankard as Intermediate High Gun. Champion of Champions On a dull cloudy day, with the threat of showers ever present, 37 shooters lined up for the “Champion of Champions” – a 75 target ion of Champions Kim Nealon 2010 Champ event shot from 18 metres, and then a 25T Handicap but not a lot of red ink was used on the board. Ian McDonald shot 25/25 in the Double Barrel Stage and Jim Cornwell managed a possible from 21 metres to secure the fat end of the prize-pool in the Handicap. Kim Nealon was overall winner of the “Champion of Champions” with 143/150 from Peter Brown(140/150) following a shoot off after both recorded 119/125 in the event. Ian McDonald, AA Grade winner 62 As previously stated, Jim Cornwell shot 25/25 off 21 metres to clean up in the handicap. No one had given Jim a chance after his unprintable score in the single barrel leg of the medley but the smell of cash did wonders for rejuven–ating his concentration after lunch (or maybe it was the lunch?). Grade winners were AA Ian McDonald (118/125) from Steve Kilfoyle (115/125), A Peter Brown (119/125) from Graeme Turner (113/125), B Mike Sullivan (111/125) from Junior Dylan Mengel (109/125), C Terry AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS – OCTOBER 2010 By the time this issue of CTSN is read, the next shoot at Richmond River will see the resumption of Night Shoots on Friday, 10th September with a 75T Medley. Warren Beddoes has indicated that the snapper have been biting off Evans Head and he will be providing a sumptuous feed of fish and chips for those who attend. Numbers attending night shoots had declined somewhat last season so hopefully those that have not been shooting regularly will dust off the shooting jacket, wipe the grease out of the barrels and come along. The 2010 Continental Championship will be held on Sunday 26th September commencing at 10 a.m. More information about Richmond River and the other clubs in the northern rivers area can be found at www.northernriversgunclubs.com. Albury Wodonga CTC July had cleverly been downgraded to C Grade in the final event after winning second place in B Grade in both the previous events! Not content to simply place again, Alex posted a 36/37 to be clear winner of C Grade. Whether a result of good luck, bad luck or a careful word in the handicapper’s ear, everyone was truly amused. Well done Alex! Craig Hamilton secured 2nd in C Grade in a much more conventional way with a 33/34. Albury Wodonga Clay Target Club’s July program had provided enough interest to encourage 42 keen shooters to nominate on the day, some coming from the far ends of the state to sample the fine competition at Albury! While the loyal brigade of Albury Wodonga locals contributed admirably to the attendance figure, it was extremely pleasing to see such a high level of visiting shooters. Members from Downside, Bega, Mildura, Wangaratta, Mansfield, Yarrawonga, Corowa, Benalla and Mt. Bogong were all represented on the scoreboard – some featured heavily on the presentation list! Event 1 for the day was a 10 target Single Barrel cash divide. After many shooters opted to don wet weather apparel, Mother Nature “held off”, allowing the competition to proceed with all but the smallest breeze. Unfortunately, this reprieve was only able to assist 4 shooters to complete the first event with a perfect score. Phillip Body, Ben Vogelzang, Terry Walls and Reg Petts were lucky/skilled enough to take a share of the considerable purse. The second event for the day was a 20 target Single Barrel Graded Cash Event – a logical continuation of the previous event. Terry Walls was able to demonstrate his aptitude in Single Barrel competition with an unchallenged 20/20 to take out Overall Winner and 1st in AA Grade. Great shooting Terry! Bob Leita was able to remain competitive, dropping only one target to clinch second in AA Grade. Club President Gerry Lafferty made a strong account of himself, outlasting several other shooters for a 1st in A Grade with an impressive 36/37. Mansfield visitor Ben Vogelzang, was able to snatch a second with 23/25. As is usually the case B Grade was hotly contested. Terry McLaughlin was able to edge out fellow squad member Alex McGregor by one target with a respectable 24/26. Craig Hamilton made an extremely successful return to shooting after a short hiatus with an almost perfect 19/20. Welcome back Craig! Ryan Bockman displayed some of his old man’s prowess, shooting a very respectable 18/21. Event 3 was a 25 target Points Score Championship – a definite test to see who had been paying attention in the previous two events! Doug “Fungus” Sutherland proved Doug “Fungus” Sutherland a competent student, easily accounting for his competition with a perfect 75/75 to be “crowned” Overall Winner and 1st in AA Grade. Phil Matthews’ position on the presentation list was attained after a much harder fought battle. After a lengthy shoot-off, Phil finally prevailed to take second in AA Grade with a 152/153. Gerry Lafferty was once again able to dominate his grade, taking 1st in A with an 86/90. Peter Collicoat pushed him all the way and finished only one point behind for second. Reg Phefley helped make it a Mt. Bogong 1-2 in B Grade with a 72/75, Alex McGregor took a share of the spoils with 78/84. Craig Hamilton continued his return to form with a very credible 70/75 for a clear win in C Grade. Alan Gillett was a little further behind on 61/75 for second. The July card was concluded with a 30 target Double Barrel Championship and interestingly, some of the day’s best shooting was displayed in this final event. As one would expect, those shooters attempting to determine a result in AA Grade were definitely the best example of this. Phil Matthews, Terry Walls and Doug Sutherland were still entrenched in the shoot-off after returning more than once to replenish their shells – and still no result in sight! Continuing the hoot-off in a Point Score format, sensibly bought the event to a conclusion – but even this took some doing! Phil Matthews was the eventual winner on 129/129, Doug target behind on 128/129.Amazing shooting guys. Tony Plum secured 1st in A Grade with 44/45, Richard McCrum second on 29/30. Vic Tomasoni has made a habit of featuring on the Albury presentation list and did so again with a 32/33 to take out 1st in B Grade. Bega Gun Club member, Phil Body made the visit worthwhile with a 52/53 earning him the runner-up title in B Grade. In a brilliant display of “raw cunning” Alex McGregor Doug Sutherland and Terry Walls’ consistent form throughout the day had paid dividends, both posting a 132/135 to be tied for the coveted High Gun trophy. Due to prior commitments, and just completing a lengthy shoot-off, Terry declined to challenge the result and graciously handed Doug the win. Congratulations to you both! August With blue skies and the beautiful back-drop of an ever increasing Hume Weir, 34 shooters nominated to compete. As has become usual at Shoot Marshall Albury, the shooter “demographic” was wide and varied with eight different clubs featuring on the board. All grades from AA to C were represented, handicaps covered the entire spectrum and the age difference in some squads spanned several generations! The first event of the August program, a 15 target Walk Back cash divide, took full advantage of the aforementioned demographic and proved a real test for all concerned. Not surprisingly, those competitors familiar with shooting from “distant” marks fared far more favourably than those used to the comfortable sanctuary of 15 metres. Conversely, some of the more experienced shots commented that 11 metres was far too close to the trap house and in the spirit of “good sport” let several targets land completely unscathed! Royce Wojtowyez and Phil Matthews were the only shooters to register a perfect score, requiring Continued on page 64 OCTOBER 2010 – AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET NEWS 63 Albury Wodonga CTC Continued from page 63 a short-lived shoot-off to gain a result. Royce held his nerve to take first in AA Grade with 19/19, Phil second on 18/19. Regular Albury visitor John Allan was good enough to clinch an outright win in A Grade, dropping only one target for a 14/15. Short in stature yet big in ability, Club President Gerry Lafferty secured second place with 16/18. Warren Fish and Greg Ganning battled it out for B Grade. Warren prevailed with 18/19, Greg second on 18/20. Shane Norris was first in C Grade with a respectable 13/16, fellow squad member Phillip Wales only one target behind on 12/16. Event 2 was a 25 target Handicap and another perfect example of why this sport can offer something to competitors of all ages and abilities. Shot “American” ey efl Ph g Handicap Re style, 5 targets from each lane before proceeding to the next, the event was hotly contested. As was expected, a shoot-off was required to determine a result for the first three places. Mt. Bogong stalwart Reg Phefley (B Grade), shooting off 17 metres, was the eventual winner with 51/51. Bob Leita (AA Grade) was once again in the mix and secured second place from the 22 metre mark with 50/51 and Jacob Matthews (C Grade) continued his recent fine form to take third prize with 47/48 off 15 metres. A presentation list that covered the full gamut of age and experience! The third event for the day was a 25 target Points Score Championship. Bob Leita was the only one able High Gun Bob Leita to complete the event “clean”, the perfect 75/75 gaining him Overall Winner and first in AA Grade. Hard-working Shoot Marshall Gary Rudd was able to secure second after maintaining his concentration in the shoot-off with a 92/93. Sam Clifton and John Allan continued for another 19 targets to deterine a result in A Grade. Sam finally edged out John to clinch a win with 131/132, John three points behind for runner-up.

Dave’s 74/75 relegated Greg Ganning to second with a 72/75. Jacob Matthews’ good form had continued from the previous event, 70/75 easily accounted for his competition in C Grade and resulted in a long-awaited, and much deserved, regrade. Congratulations Jake and watch out B Graders! Second place went to Ryan Bockman with 64/78. The August program came to a conclusion with a 25 target Double Barrel Continental Championship, always a popular and challenging event at Albury. Royce Wojtowyez made the presentation list again, displaying his proficiency in this event with a 35/35 to secure Overall Winner and first in AA Grade. Trench enthusiast Ross Liersch proved he could still be competitive over several different disciplines, posting a 31/32 for second in AA. Peter Collicoat’s 34/35 was enough for first in A Grade, Sam Clifton’s positive Albury experience continuing for second with a 33/34. Greg Ganning had been experimenting with a new gun all day, his first in B Grade in this event with a 29/30 probably sealed the deal! As usual, Harry Stolpe didn’t go home empty-handed, a 26/27 was more than enough to gain second place. Phillip Wales shot an almost perfect 24/25 for first in C Grade, Ryan Bockman another second with a 20/26. Ryan delighted in the fact that his father had to do all the “prize carrying” for once! Bob Leita’s consistently good form has become very much the norm in recent months, securing several High Gun trophies in the process. August 2010 was no exception! Bob only dropped two points for the entire day’s competition, as well as dutifully completing his role as club Handicapper. Congratulations on a great score and great job! Jacob Matthews was duly awarded Junior High Gun with 127/140. Marie Petts’ fantastic food was as popular as ever and the gorgeous C Grade baker made a return to competition with a good score and even better slice! 600 46 120,000 Every per day. seconds. per year.
