Austt.aliun Clay Target Shooting News September 1997 - COlNG FOR COLD WITH BERETTA. Over the years Beretta have became the most dedicated gunmaker in the world, committed to making fine guns for every application. Their acceptance and quality are second to none although price wise the Beretta guns are expensive -aften the concession for a wide range of production and excellent quality! Beretta's 682 Gold Sporting sent for review was everything I expected, *hen it nlrtved.

Gold inlaid scroll lettering is featured an bath sides and beneath the receiver and compliments the gold plated trigger. Beretta have kept their embellishment of the receiver to a minimum, just enough to give the 682 Gold and air of elegance. The waodwo~.k was perfectly matched with near faultless checkering - a hallmark of Beretta quality.

The standard Beretta dark blue hard case supplied with the gun housed all accessories whilst the fawn gunsocks, for the separate stock and barrel set, provided a finishing touch.

If the bruniton is scratched, a repair kit can be utilised to reinstate the bruniton whereas with a blued set of barrels the gun would need to be re-blued. Quite a n expensive exercise.

Ouerall, with its Brunitan finished barrels and siluerstone receiuer, the Beretta 682 Gold Sporting is n stylish gun any shooter. would be proud to own. set triggers, (one far a left handed shooter and the other for a right), were included as accessories. The trigger foot is removable and has three pre-set positions. Beretta have also generously provided a precision screw driver for this purpose. The safety and integral barrel selector were located on the tang beneath the top lever. A file-cut selector positively selected either barrel as desired -one red dot for the under barrel and two red dots for the upper barrel. Unlike a trap gun, a barrel selector is a necessity with a sporting clays gun particularly when facing driven targets, requiring the tightest choked barrel to be fired first. Beretta have acknowledged an earlier design problem and recessed tho selector switch below the level of the safety catch. This is a pleasing modification. The stock and woodwork were well matched with the schnabel forend providing a final, practical touch. Checkering, completed a t 20 lines per inch, was well executed. Overruns were not evident and a double line border contained grips on the farend and pistol grip of the stock. A palm swell was installed on the right hand side of the pistol grip.

Australian Clay Ta:rget Shooting News September 1997 A visit to one of the "Spanish Best": Armas Kemen This article is eontinuedkom lost m o n t h . . I watched in awe at the precision of Louis. . He held the trigger assembly above the lamp's flame until the surfaces of the sides and tap were blackened. He then fitted the group into the aetian. He opened and closed the aetion and pressed the trigger twice to set off each of the two inertia firing pins. He removed the tvigger group and studied the tiny silvery surfaces where the black earbon had been worn away. "Aqui!" he said to me. '"Here!" He pointed to a shiny line about the width of a hair. of emery cloth Louis made a few short passes with a fine grit over the area where the carbon had warn away. Again he blackened the assembly and repeated the process. With unhurried focus, he worked the action, discharged the firing pins and removed the trigger group again. He repeated the operation, each time applying the emery cloth and removing the steel a thousandth of a millimetfe a t a time. He did not stop the blackening and filing until no carbon wore off when the action was operated several times. Only then did he accept that the trigger group fit perfectly. I started to walk over to the man working an the actions, but John interrupted. Time to get back to the hotel, he said. Fine by me, I thought. I needed to wark an arganising my notes, do more reading and, if possible, take a short nap befom dinner. We were scheduled to visit the factory the next morning, so I would have the oppottunity to speak to the other workers. I patted Louis on the shoulder and thanked him far allowing me to observe his work. The next morning brought more insights the making of a Best" escopeta. In the sun-dappled light, I stood next Antonio Ballesteros, the craftsman entrusted with what Wieland described as one of the most demanding skills in ynmaking, action filing. The technique is "toda a mana" Antonio tald me, his eyes glittering in exultation, "totally by h a n d . He asked me to touch the gleaming receiver and the sideplate. On the minor-like surface I could see the reflection of my hand. On a whim, I picked up a that was leaning against the wall near him, held it at end and let it hang down. With my hand I snapped my fingernail against the middle one the barrels. A clear bell-like tone resulted. I repeated this pinging up and down the length of the balml. Each time the resulting tone was melodic and clean. No dead spats in the welding, I concluded. I watched as he opened and the action repeatedly, firing the trigger, then placed the action in the vice, Alternating and emery cloth pressed against a file.s blade fol. farce and he made a few sharp strokes against t h e glistening steel. He removed the action Rom the vice, cocked it, set off the first firing pin, then gently tapped the aetion with his fist until the second spring was cocked. He performed this process ten repetitions. I counted. With his forefinger and a middle finger, Antonio then touched the steel surfaces that were rubbed by the moving patts of the action. Trustingsensov ncuwns tuned by thousands of touches, he felt their cold smoothness, then placed the aetian back in the vice and applied fouv or five precise strokes with the tile and additional strokes with the emery cloth. With a blast from an air compl.essor, he cleaned the dust-like metal filings from the action. He repeated the enti1.e tedious sequence again and again until h e was satisfied. ON the average, one aetian is completed eaeh day. Aware of my interest, Antonio stappcd for. a moment and handed me an assembled shotgun that he had just Its receiver had yet been blued, I opened and the action. I t closed with a reassuring solid velvety "thunk". The steel, I was told, came from Bilbao. Kemen uses steel that is graded higher than standard "bellota" steel. Undel. Kcmcn's direction. their steel is hardened with a special fat.mula of chrome and nickel alloys to achieve the highest s t a n d a ~ d sof strength and resilience. I remembcrcd that the previous day Juan handed me a shotgun that had beon used as a "demo" model. It had fired about seventy thousand the he said, lt opened as smooLhly as the new ones hat rack. I saw no signs sfwoal.. I shook Antonio's hand and said goadbyc. I crossed the work area, went to Pedro Arreitunandia and greeted him again. "Hello, Michelangelo!" He responded with a warm smile. We resumed our discussion from yestet.day. The receiver he was working on featured birds in flight in realistic fine shallow engraving. He strives to create something personal, he tald me, seeking to transmute other styles into his unique interpretation. Pedm's home is by the water, about twenty kilometres Ram Eibar. In his living room overlooking the Gulf of Biscay, he sits, stares and dreams of paving styles. He tald me that his wife asks what he's thinking about. "Engraving", he answe1.s. New styles, ncw patterns, how to improve. He is never satisfied. "Siempre mejorando", be tald me, allowing me a glimpse of his soul. September 1997 ' "Always impt.oving." Pedro loves his e~.aft.He studies constantly to get better. Each piece must be better than all previous ones, he tald me. "Siempre mejoranda". he repeated. "Always getting better." Pedro ~.aisedhis hands p~.ayet.fully.His work is a hobby, he confided. "Me gusta mueha", he reiterated throughout our convet.sation. ''I like it very much." He articulated a sentiment about his profession that I cannot remember ever having heard expressed by anyone. "Estoy contenta." "I am content", he said. He brought his hands together. "Pengo mueha suerte."A humble smile bloomed an his delicate face. "I am very lucks." 1 know few people that would make that statement, even though it bejustified' I hugged Pedra, e n v y i n ~ h i sserenity and skill. Perhaps some day. I told him, he will creak a mesterpieec for me. "I hope so", he told me. I bid him farewell. Our group left the Kemen facto1.y and joined A:.cadio for a lunch of grilled steak and peppery fried fish, potatoes smothered with cabbage and another bottle of Rioja. had offered to take us to Sari Sebastian the to some international trap and bunker shooting. I was looking forward to that opportunity. I had "eve]. tried those sports. Prior to the trip to Spain, John had sent me a gorgeous KM-4 twelve gauge to demo. I had tried the Kernen with several different t.eload ~ecipesa t the Cherry Creek Shooting Club's ten-stand sporting clays vange. I was particularly impressed with the performance and low recoil of the oneounce and the seven-eighth ounce "international" lands. I awaited the challenge of utilising similar loads and testing my modest skills on the faster European-style clays. I t was not to be. The weathet.\v\.ashostile. A dense blanket of fag along with intermittent rain rolled in from the Sea' The aftet.naon passed quickly. Par am. last few hours together, Jahn and I migratcd to thc smoky bal. of thc Hotel Arrate. We talked late into our last evening in Eibar. He share his philosophy an shotguns, his love of shooting and how he interweaves the sport with his charity ivo~.k.He also offered his vision of Kcmcn's future. To survive, John opined, Iiemen must maintain its fastidious pursuit of pcl.fection. Kcmen is incveasing its p~.aductline. It has begun to produce over-and-unde~ target guns in t\vcnty gauge and twenty-eight gauge in addition to the side-by-sidc in thoscgauges. John's eyes glittered with intensity as he spoke. A shootel.should not buy a Kemcn, he emphasised, if the shotgun is seen as no mare than a less expensive COPY of an English 01. Italian "best" model. That would be unfair to all the manufacturers. The Kcmcn stands on its own unique me'its and qualities, he added. I saw haw the guns were made and thus, between sips of bitter Basque beet.. I felt justified in nodding in agreement' I disclosed that Juan Cruz had taken my measurements for a y n . Juan had kept poking me, pushing my head highev. "alta", 01. lower. "baja", exchanging gun aftel.&%", until the sighting plane was exactly COI.IFU~. the length of pull exact and the dl.op a t the comb just right. Juan had seribblcd the measurement numbclx on a scrap of papel. and thcn Stuffed it jnto a dusty 'Ie box. I shrugged. "Just in ease". I told Jahn. We a1.e taught to save for a rainy day. I mused, but we'1.e not given much guidance to know when that rainy day is soon to be upon us. It's all a crapshoot. I figured. Based on experiences in my line of work, there is one truism I have ~eluetantly came to accept which may prompt a little more indulgence an my part Go first elassa~~yom.erceutars will! Many shooters will say that the Kemen and its ilk are extyavagant. Nadoubt! Who among us has not seen talenled shooters consistently run inclediblc scores with madcstly-priecd auto loaders? But one doesn't hang on El Greeo 01. a Goya merely to covcra bare patch an the wall. The Kemen is an expression of the soaring human spirit's striving to create beauty and achieve excellence. The gun's proud gwnel. possesses more than a s h o t y n ; he or she has a small wavclongth in the pvism of noble Basque history. It was almost midnight. John and I clinked ou~.glassesand called it a night. We caught each other glancing a t our watches. We flashed a knowing grin. Neither of us had reset our timepieces since leaving the states, 1 was subtracting houl.s jnd john, who lives in California, was subtracting nine. Wc each knew what the other was thinking about: family. M~ children just getting home from and fol. pl.actiee. soon they would be hurtling up and down the field, yelling and kicking, and I would be holding them in ninety-two hours, but ruho's counting!

Congratulations again. C. Betteridge September 1991 Australian Clay Target Shoaling News Page 9 The Inaugural Australian Shooting Games wrapped up on 11th July, bringing to an end a very successful new event. Over 50 different shooting matches were completed during the event, which attracted in excess of seven hundred match participants. Competitors came from every state in Australia and also from New Zealand. The Clay Target results are included rvith this report. As the event incorporated several significant individual matches the Games were able to attract favourable media coverage. Channel Nine's Wide World of Sport covered the Sporting Clay COMPAK National Titles and the Sunday Mail published a good human interest story. Various Quest newspapers also ran items of local interest. The event was also well patronised by Federal, State and Local Government members who performed many of the medal presentations. The Games Patron, Graeme McDougall MHR h a s continually provided support for the event and believes the concept has the necessary qualities that will ensure growth in the future.

ButNepean3 for the effort that was put into the day, the attendance was disappointing. With a n ideal day for shooting there were only four possibles for the 30 target Handicap main event, and 5 x 29's to vie for fifth and sixth. I t is well documented that sponsors are a great help to the club it was no diffrrent, coffers, and this Firstly, Fuller F i r e a r m for supplying the Miroku gun, J & M Guns & Taclcle from Morwell for the cartridges, and not forgetting Laurie &Julie Lewis, L & L Concreters from Gormandale also for sponsoring the Double Barrel event with cartridges, good on their effort! A thing that added atmosphere to the day was the supply of a large marquee, tables and chairs by Parkinson Wholesalers of Morwell. That was well received. On the catering side, the cuisine was something else, hot spaghetti & meat sauce, other pasta dishes, soup, hot dogs, pies, cakes and lots of other goodies. This was the result of a very concerted effort from Louie Carusso from Don Lauies Pizza Morwell &Mae. Thanks to Lou. Also a special thanks must go to the ladies who helped on the day.

At a recent Ficld & Game Association simulated shoot, a competing member fired a t the first target of a double, then swung onto his second target. He flinched slightly as other members of the squad heard themechanism of his gun click, but the cartridge did not fire. Lowering the gun from his shoulder, he turned his head toward the referee and said: "I had a mis-fire". Before the referee could take the gun to examine it, the gun which was held with the shooters hand well clear of the trigger guard, discharged. The unexpected discharge caused the gun to he thrown from his hand onto the ground. The shooter involved is a n excellent shot of very wide experience and has assured me t h a t his reloading components are stored with the utmost care. What I recall reading all those years ago was nevor to open the September 1997 gun for a t least ten seconds after a misfire, and then to Lhrow the cartridge as far away as possible. It makes good sense. Yours sincerely, J.Z. Rhodes Dear E d ~ t o r Praise rather than Condemn How often do we hear ACTA Members condemning another member or club?

The trap was set a t "12 o'clock" and was set to throw the targets aver "6 o'clock". The competitive program consisted of shooting two shots from each of the twelve stations. The shell that was left over from a box was used, first as a stunt, to shoot a t a n ineomer from the center ofthe circle. This later proved to be a shot offering real snap-shooting practice and has since developed into the plan of Station Eight shots of the regulation program.

He therefore set about to complete a shooting program that would contain all the necessary elements of wing-shooting practice and a competitive sport. Among the additions were the four sets of doubles and the optional shot. When the details of the sport had been worked out and tested, and a set of rules drawn up, the idea was introduced to the public in the February 1926 issue of both National Sportsman and Hunting and Fishing magazines. At the same time, a prize of $100 was offered far the most appropriate name for the new sport. It was won by Mrs. Gertrude Hurlbutt of Dayton, Montana, who suggested "Skeet", an old Scandinavian form of the word "shoot". Some 10,000 entries were received in the contest. The American shooter was apparently ready and waiting for a practical form of wing-shooting with the shotgun that would give Victory Cartridges Australia With the end of the world conflict, a dedicated group of skeet enthusiasts officially bmught the sport back to the public with organization and incorporation of the present National Skeet Shooting Association in December, 1946. This new association was financed in the beginning by a substantial, no-interest loan from the National Rifle Association. The National Championship Shoot was resumed a t Indianapolis in 1946 and it has been held annually ever since. .~, ~~~ ~~~~~~. . ~ waterford, ~ i c h i g a i~; G h a v e nVirginia;&. , Janvier, Quebec; Rush.
