Christchurch Earthquake Appeal
Clubs and members are advised that any
money donated to the NZCTA to help
members after the recent earthquake in
Christchurch will be held in trust by the
NZCTA until the end of June.
Any money clubs or members wish to donate should be clearly
marked and sent to the National Office.
This money will be distributed to NZCTA members who are
registered at 10 March who have been affected by the earthquake.
All members affected by the earthquake should register with
the National Office by 30th June if they are to receive any benefits
from this appeal. Members who are not affected are encouraged
to make known to the National Office the names of members who
they feel were affected and would benefit from this appeal.
The NZCTA is very grateful to the Thames Clay Target Club
executive for having the compassion and foresight to programme
this event.
Thank you to the individual competitors who made cash
donations and gave their sweeps to this fund. These people
included Don McCarthy, Nola and Wattie Leonard, Stephen
Hannah, Owen Hannah, Jim Sharp, Paul Schmidt, Paul Basten,
Jackson Corbett, John Tonkin, Dion Harrison, S.Taylor, Ian Marshall,
Keith Bayliss, Martin van de Wetering, Den Wilkens, Phil Collins.
The NZCTA is grateful to the Thames Clay Target Club for their
contribution to the fund.
At the DTL Nationals John Waldron from Tokoroa Engineering
suggested that the NZCTA President did not want him to wear his
gumboots at the presentations. It was proposed that whatever
price the President offered him for the gumboots so he would
not wear them again, John would match that price with the
donation going into the earthquake appeal fund. Dean Everett
quickly suggested that the price of those gumboots would be
$500, so Keith Livingstone swiftly said consider them sold (to
avoid the price going even higher?). So the fund was topped up
by an additional $1,000. Tony Truss promptly grabbed one of the
gumboots so watch out as it may surface again as some sort of
trophy. It would have to be the most expensive gumboot ever.
Thank you John, your generosity is very much appreciated.

Sporting Comment
This report has some bouquets and brickbats!! Firstly two
good comments, the Grand Prix, under Rob Curruthers and his
band at Wanganui/Rangitikei C.T.C., what a great shoot, 8 old
style Par Cours each one different with personal touches from
his band of target setters. Thanks to Graeme Brown (Target
Products), not only a major sponsor, but drove up from Timaru
with a dozen traps to set up 2 fields. The Lalich cousins also
bringing a large impressive trailer full of gear down from up
North. Gordon MacPhee providing a high lift, set a field with
his own traps, plus shooter transport around the fields. That’s
not to forget all the other local guys and girls huge effort to
bring this shoot to fruition. It was a real team effort and showed.
6 gunshot
I especially loved that 80+ metre looper on F4 that sorted out
the men from the pretenders!!
As many of you may know a group of us in the South Island
have started a new Sporting Club, it is a club purposely without
a ground, and its main purpose is to promote Sporting Clays
in the South Island, both in its own right as any other club, but
also to have good hire gear available to other South Island Clubs
interested in Sporting and maybe wanting to run bigger shoots,
but are hampered by equipment. There are many grounds that
we shot years ago and we hope to resurrect them, plus the
exciting proposition of shooting “green fields”, so much loved

PRESIDENT’S REPORT
It is with much pleasure that I present
the President’s Annual Report for the
year ended December 2010.
MEMBERSHIP.
Membership is up to a total combined
membership of 2579. Full membership
makes up 68.7% of our total members,
Family 3.5%, Juniors 21.2%, and Social 6.4%.
All categories of membership are up on
2009 with the exception of Social which has
declined 1.8%, to a total of 166. I would like
to remind clubs, as mentioned in previous
Gunshot Presidents columns, that your
local “matey” members, who are attending
your home club on regular occasions, must
register in accordance with NZCTA Rules as
Social Members. This will solve the problem
of reducing membership for Social Category
members in the future.
The increase in total membership reflects
the hard work done by the Club Executives
of the NZCTA Clubs of New Zealand, and is
greatly appreciated by the NZCTA Executive,
in this difficult year of sustained recession.
NATIONAL EXECUTIVE.
We must all be extremely grateful for the
knowledge and expertise that Adrienne is
contributing. I cannot speak highly enough
concerning her services to our chosen
sport, her knowledge, expertise and advice
have saved me from embarrassment on a
number of occasions. Adrienne has now
completed over 20 years’ service to the
NZCTA, and I can assure you her loyalty is
greatly appreciated by the full membership.
A special bond exists between the
President, Executive Officer, and the full
Executive. This bond leads all elected
members to a deep appreciation of
the work that each Executive member
undertakes in the four different disciplines.
We should all be extremely grateful for
the family sacrifices and personal time
each elected member of your Executive
gives so willingly. I would personally like to
congratulate them all on the work we have
achieved as a team over the past year.
This year Martin van de Wetering is
retiring from the Executive, I know you all
share with me in thanking him for his past
immense contribution, and wish him well
in his new endeavours.
ANNUAL BALANCE SHEET.
It is pleasing to report, in these inflationary
times, the Association made a net profit in
the last year. The Executive is working hard
to minimise increased expenses, but we are
conscious that the level of service should
not be compromised. The Association is
not in the business of making money, but
acknowledges it is often a difficult balance
between delivering what you, the members
want and expect, and charging for the
running of the organisation. The total assets
of the Association have increased overall to
a net value of just over $483,000.
GUNSHOT
The Gunshot magazine is something
the Executive is very proud of. The issues
of Gunshot now resemble more of a book
with issues getting up over 80 pages. The
Gunshot could not be produced to the
high standard we currently enjoy without
a huge input from Adrienne, Tom Begg,
the typesetters and printers. Tom Begg
puts in his valuable expertise every issue,
and has to structure his other personal
and family activities around the timing
of the issues. He does all this for the love
of the sport, and we all appreciate the
tremendous work he does for us. Tom has
being doing this for us for many years now,
and we appreciate the time he gives freely.
What is also very pleasing is that with the
magazine increasing in size we are still able
to show a profit from it.
GOVERNANCE / STRATEGIC
PLAN / FUTURE POLICY
In my acceptance speech last year, I
mentioned the Executive should focus
on greater Governance, and less on
Management issues, being dealt with
by the Executive in the future, and the
involvement of the full membership being
taken into account, via sub-committees, in
the future decision making process. This
has been achieved by changing Adrienne’s
role with a change of designation from
National Secretary to Executive Officer.
With this change comes greater delegated
responsibility in decision making, mainly
in Management issues on the day to day
running of the NZCTA. Leadership of the
Executive in Governance of the sport rests
under my umbrella of responsibility, and
formulating future policy is a combined
effort from the full Executive.
Together your Executive has made big
inroads into changing to a Governance
role; however we still have a long way to go,
until we can truly call ourselves a Board of
Directors. However, some of the fruits of our
labour are now starting to become evident,
such as the start of a system to computerise
membership records at club level.
NZ SHOOTING FEDERATION.
The communication within the Shooting
Federation has now been streamlined so all
communication, both internationally and
domestically, is channelled to Gavin Paton
as Development Officer of the NZSF. Gavin is
now working mainly alone in his role, and only
occasionally referring to Tony Weymouth. The
new President of the Shooting Federation
is David Tomlinson, President of Pistol NZ.
Ewen Pirie the immediate past President, has
completed a term of nearly 10 years, and has
guided the Federation through some very
difficult circumstances, such as closing down
the Federation’s Ardmore facility. Ewen must
be congratulated for the past efforts he has
contributed to this very important part of our
sport. Future quarterly meetings will now be
held in Wellington, and I attend as the NZCTA
Delegate, and on occasions it is necessary for
other NZCTA Executive members to attend.
COMMONWEALTH GAMES / ISSF
Four athletes were successful in
competing in the 2010 Commonwealth
Games held in Delhi, India. Everybody
performed with distinction to their personal
best level. Although ultimately no medals
were won by shotgun shooters, Nadine
Stanton and Natalie Rooney competed
in the Women’s Trap Final, finishing just
outside the medals. Greater experience in
international events, and greater coaching
opportunities, must be gained if we are to
give our athletes greater success in the ISSF
disciplines in the future. We could not have
asked more of the performance from our
Commonwealth Games Athletes, and can
be justifiably proud of their performance.
The NZCTA is still having difficulties
finding venues in the lower North Island
for ISSF. Although in 2010 Hutt Valley CTC
hosted the South Zone Championships,
the future of using this venue remains
unclear. Different initiatives have been
implemented to entice Transition Athletes
from the Domestic Disciplines to try ISSF,
and Gavin Searle must be thanked for
trying these initiatives. It is still too early
to comment on their success. A number
of athletes qualified to attend the 2010
World Championships and were assisted
monetarily, by a generous sponsorship
of $10,000-00 from Perazzi New Zealand.
Thank you Brant for that very appreciated
sponsorship.
gunshot 7
SCHOOL SHOOTING
School shooting continues to grow with
clay target shooting firmly entrenched
in the school curriculum with students
being given a choice of what sport they
would like to play. It does not get better
than that for introducing new entrants to
our favourite sport. The school coaches
and administrators, including the School
Sub-Committee must be congratulated
for the major effort they are contributing.
Many NZCTA competitors, who have come
through the school curriculum, are now
successful winners of NZ Championships,
which is attributable to the grounding
they received initially from the school
coaches. Every major school event appears
to be growing, with the NZ Championships
gaining record entrants at each venue.
SPORTING CLAYS
When I took over the President’s
portfolio, a lot of work had to be done on
my part, to build a relationship with the
Sporting Sub-Committee, just as I did with
other Sub-Committees. I am happy to say
that we have now got to know each other
very well, and enjoy a friendly relationship,
built on trust and camaraderie, with great
communication between ourselves. The
Sporting Sub-Committee are masters of
their own destiny, as they run their discipline
themselves, and only need assistance
from the NZCTA Executive on matters of
policy, funding, and approving venues.
The Sporting fraternity are indeed very
fortunate to have such a passionate group of
administrators in control of their discipline.
I have the greatest admiration for the SubCommittees performance over the past
year, and I am sure all members have viewed
the Sporting Columns in the latest issues of
Gunshot. These articles are a result of a great
team spirit being very evident within the
sub-committee. Although I do not wish to
single people out, I must mention the efforts
of Rob Carruthers in updating the Sporting
portion of the NZCTA Website, and for the
record statistics from every event. Thank you
from everybody Rob for all your efforts.
DTL/AMERICAN SKEET
The NZCTA partly funded a number
of members to attend the World DTL
Championships in South Africa, and
members competed in both Teams and
Individual events with much success. The
Ladies Team won the Gold Medal, and
the Ladies number 2 team was 3rd. The
NZ Open Team finished 2nd, and Junior
and Veterans Teams finished 3rd. In the
individual World Event Gavin Paton finished
9th and Natalie Rooney finished 3rd in the
Ladies Event. Many Clubs have been lifting
8 gunshot
their game, catering for the competitors at
NZCTA Matches. 2010 has enjoyed record
entries at many events, and club facilities
around the country have received massive
upgrades. Your Executive is always looking
at ways which clubs can improve both
the facilities, and their administrative
performance, for you the competitor. Prior
to the NZ Skeet Nationals comments were
made about the small gauge competition
not being part of the National Programme
.The NZCTA Executive has now amended
the Tournament Contract, so that the
small gauge competition must form part
of the Tournament in future, along with
voice release being mandatory also. Please
note that future small gauge competitions
(28ga and .410 ), will only be held as
trophy matches in future, until such stage
as the entries warrant a separate National
Championship. Dedicated Skeet Shooters
are therefore masters of their own destiny,
and it is their responsibility to promote
these smaller gauge events further at club
level. In the Mackintosh Teams Event in
2010, the Ladies and Juniors Team finished
2nd. New Zealand retained both the Glenn
Cup and Glenn Trophy in 2010 against
Australia. These events are the pinnacle of
team shooting and all team members are
congratulated for their top performance.
SPONSORSHIP
Many hours have been spent by Barry
Williamson and members of your Executive,
obtaining sponsorship. In these times of
economic recession this has been no easy
task. Barry continues to involve himself in
seeking sponsorship on a voluntary basis.
All members are indebted to him for his
expertise to make it all worthwhile for you,
the competitor. We are indeed blessed with
having all this sponsorship available to us
from our very valued sponsors, and extend
our gratitude to all our NZCTA sponsors.
To all our main sponsors for the 2010 year,
Beretta NZ, Kilwell Sports and Gamebore
Ammunition, NZ Fish and Game Council,
Champion Ammunition, Gunn Estate Wines,
Armusa Ammunition, Stihl Chainsaws and
Hull Ammunition, Stager Sport and Blazer
Firearms, Perazzi NZ, NZ Dairy Farmers,
George Ellis and Graeme Webber, and Merv
and Margaret Pratt, thank you from every
member of the NZCTA.
The Beretta Junior Scholarship,
continues to be a major “leg up” for our
Junior competitors. It is always very
difficult for the selection panel of the
NZCTA Executive, to find a recipient to
represent Beretta NZ, from the many
worthy high calibre applicants. A big thank
you to Martyn Coe, Beretta NZ, for this very
valued sponsorship.
REFEREES/RULES/RANGE
CERTIFICATION
The new rule books are a culmination
of a massive amount of work by Blue
Freeman, and approval by the NZCTA
Executive. I am sure they will be invaluable
as bedtime reading, and lead to better
referee decisions being made by our
general membership. Blue has been
working over the past year on a base of
voluntary Official Referees, and it is hoped
these officials can be used at major events
in the future, and also to ensure that safety
factors are not compromised in any way at
local clubs. Work continues in this area.
The Range Certification Manual has
now been completed and forwarded to
clubs for their comment and discussion.
This document is a living document which
means it can be amended at any stage in
the future, and the latest amendments
will always be on the NZCTA Website.
Considerable effort was made by Trevor
Manson and Neil Winsloe in compiling the
original document, and Gavin Searle and
your Executive have produced the mark 2
version. A reminder is given to all clubs that
you must all be responsible for the safety
factors referred to in the Range Manual.
HALL OF FAME
Gavin and Bev Searle have now
completed the hours of compiling the
statistics for the Hall of Fame recipients. The
annual evening event draws considerable
interest from our members to honour
the worthy recipients. Stage 2 of the Hall
of Fame is now being entered, where we
need a suitable building, to exhibit the
memorabilia that has been kindly donated
by members, and past members’ families.
Should any member wish to donate funds
to this worthy cause, we are always open
to offers. The cost of an appropriate climate
controlled building would not come
cheap, but we have to make a start. Thank
you to Bev and Gavin and Martin for your
continued work in this area.
I trust after hearing this report you
are satisfied that your elected Executive
representatives, as administrators of your
sport, have worked tirelessly on your
behalf in 2010. I am very proud of their
achievements, and the NZCTA Executive
look forward to serving you all, to the best of
our combined abilities, for the coming year.
Now listen up You are all personally
forgiven for all the threats, bribes, offers,
abuse, innuendo, and practical jokes you
have played on me, and thank you for all
your support and guidance, especially the
Senior Members of the NZCTA, in my first
term in office
Your President, Keith Livingstone
DTL
2011 New zealand
CHAMPIONSHIPS
Waikato Clay Target Club, 5-12 March 2011
Saturday 5th March was wet, humid and there were flies
everywhere. Forgive me if this sounds negative but it really wasn’t
like that. The merry bunch of shooters who turned up on the first
day of the Nationals to shoot the Ball Trap were there to enjoy
themselves, re-acquaint themselves with old shooting mates and
shoot a few targets. The club facilities had been meticulously
groomed and were a credit to those who had worked so hard.
The committee, led by Dean Everett, is always determined to give
the shooters an enjoyable time while they are at Hamilton and
all credit to them for their efforts. The committee of the Waikato
Club has worked tirelessly to bring the facilities up to scratch and
create an environment where the shooters can have the best
shooting experience possible. As so often happens in clubs there
is a small bunch of hard workers who simply get in and get the
jobs done, giving up a week of their annual leave to ensure the
nationals run smoothly, some don’t even shoot over the week.
Their efforts are greatly appreciated by everyone who attends
this event.
The 50 targets of the Ball Trap got off to a flying start, albeit
at 9.30, then a short trap breakdown held things up a bit and
one of the early squads was no-where to be seen when it was
their turn to shoot. All this lead to a long day in the rain. The
numbers competing were encouraging; there were 149 shooters.
This compared favourably to the 112 from two years ago. Three
shooters shot 49 and Gorge Road shooter Boston Walker won the
shoot off to take the HOA title, the silver fern trophy and the Gunn
Estate wines.
Sunday got off to an earlier start with the Provincial Shoulder to
Shoulder team shoot first up, followed by the Opening Ceremony
and the Best Dressed competition. There were eight Provincial
shoulder to shoulder teams entered. The Bay of Plenty took out
the award, only one target ahead of Waikato. The Bay of Plenty
team members were; Grant Castles, Mark Walsh, Anja van de
Wetering, Brian Hartley and Martin van de Wetering.
The best presented competition was, this year, one of the
hardest ever to judge. This was because so many provinces
had gone to a lot of trouble to present themselves so finely. It
is a wonderful sight to see shooters proudly representing their
province. This year it was the Southland boys who get to take the
wonderful Ray Mack trophy back home. Ewen Pirie, Boston Walker,
Lindsay Rodgers, Brad Warnock and Colin Waghorn made up the
Southland team. The day had a bit of everything, slight rain in the
morning, a bit of wind and a bit of sunshine. The temperature
was certainly cooler than we are used to at Waikato but the South
Islanders felt right at home.
Once the wind got up a bit the Double Rise shooters had to try
very hard to get the targets. There were 222 competitors, well up
from the 217 last year in Christchurch and the 205 in 2009 when
last in Hamilton. Colin Waghorn, ex NZ DTL World Champion, shot
the only 48 to take the HOA title. After a shoot off of 20 targets Glen
Kable was 2nd and Geoff Wells won 3rd AA Grade. Hamish Bell
from Nightcaps travelled up to Waikato for the Skeet Nationals and
enjoyed himself so much that he was back for the DTL Nationals.
This young person is showing exceptional talent and is just a very
By Adrienne Sears
nice person. To see him shoot so well is very pleasing. Hamish took
out the A grade and the junior title with the only 46, followed by
Scott Wilson from Mataura, then Graeme Madgwick from Waihi,
both on 45. The South Island shooters dominated the B grade with
James Bonney from Dunedin taking 1st on 44 and Brett Gare from
Moa Creek taking 3rd with 41. Dannevirke shooter, Mark Johnston
won 2nd B Grade with a 43. Neil Berry kindly donated the super
veterans trophy.
Hugh Bradley from Stager Sports and Blaser was the sponsor for
the Minis event. Stager Sports have made a name for themselves in
the industry as a supplier of a quality product and the Association
is very grateful to Stager Sports/Blaser for their continued support
of the championships. There was a most exciting array of trophies
that the recipients appreciatively received. Two hundred and
twenty three shooters competed, exactly the same number as last
year in Christchurch and up from 219 the previous year. Southland
shooter Lindsay Rodgers took the HOA title with the possible 25
and after a shoot off of only 30 targets. Lindsay took away the
Gunn Estate wine as well as the wonderful trophy that Stager
Sports provided. Lindsay and Rob Yeo both shot 24/25 in the first
round of the shoot off, and then it was only another five targets
that Lindsay shot when Rob missed the 5th one. Keith Zehnder
and Les Clarke both shot 11/12 in the first shoot off round. When
Les missed his 3rd target in the next round Keith went on to break
it and take 2nd place.
The Handicap by Distance event was sponsored by Maxam
Ammunition. There were 228 entries which compared favourably
with the 198 from the last time this was held at Waikato. Craig
Pulman is an enthusiastic sponsor of this event and the Association
is very grateful to him for his on-going support. The Maxam
ammunition was very well received by the winners. Brendan
Malcolm was shooting on 21m and shot the possible. Junior
shooter Christian Stephen from Fiji shot from 13m and also shot
the possible. It was another 25 targets before Brendan took the
HOA title, almost $500 in prize money, the Silver Fern and sash,
the Gunn Estate wine and the Maxam Ammunition. Well done
Brendan, it is not easy to win this event from a back mark. Young
Christian Stephen from Fiji was shooting on 13 metres as he has
not done very much competition. He went on to take 2nd place
and show us that he has a certain natural ability for one so young
and inexperienced.
The second event of the day was the Kilwell trophy. Kilwell
put on a very impressive display on the trophy table and it was
Gavin Searle from Canterbury who took the HOA after heading off
Gavin Paton (1st A grade), Mark Shaw (2nd) and Craig Fitzgerald
(3rd). Jan Manson won the ladies prize after shooting a possible.
The cool wind was the topic of much discussion. Certainly the
temperatures were down on what everyone is used to during
Nationals week at Hamilton.
Tuesday’s event was the NZ 18m Triples Championship which
is sponsored by the NZ Dairy Farmers. This group of exceptional
people are shooters who happen to own dairy farms that choose
to put something back into the sport. This type of unselfish
attitude has to be highly commended. They are cajoled and
gunshot 9
prompted each year by Stuart Bell who organises the fantastic
knives to come back from Norfolk Island each year with the NZ
shooters who attend the championships there. Thank you Stuart
for organising this and thank you to each supporter of this event;
Judy Mabey and family, Jim & Margaret Tarrant, Gary & Adrienne
Rooney, Grant & Tracey Nilsson, Bill and Denise Dunn, Lindsay
Maxwell and family, Trevor & Jan Manson, Ewen Pirie and family,
Brian Smith and family, Eion Park, Derek Sheen and family plus
Stuart and Carol Bell. Conditions were good for shooting on
Tuesday and shooters obliged by squadding in reasonably early.
Two hundred and sixty three shooters lined up for this event. This
compared favourably with the 260 last year in Christchurch and
the 231 in 2009 in Hamilton. There were only six possibles and
Dave Turner shot 30 targets clean in the shoot off to take the HOA.
Ray Everett and Graham Geater had to shoot off after both shot
73. Graham was only one point ahead of Ray in the 15 target shoot
off but this was enough for Graham to take the medal. Neil Berry,
a welcome visitor from Australia, won the Super Veterans medal.
The second event of the day was the Kilwell Buck Knives North
South DTL event. Kilwell have sponsored this event for many years
and those who receive the Buck Knives feel very blessed as they
are certainly a coveted trophy. It has to be said that it was a clean
sweep by the visiting South Island teams. All South Island teams
beat their North Island counterparts. I’m not sure if this has ever
happened before, especially in the North Island but I can tell you
there were some pretty happy shooters from the mainland. The
South Island Open team of Gavin Searle, Colin Waghorn, Boston
Walker, Daniel Warnock and Lindsay Rodgers shot 369, eight
ahead of the North Island team. The South Island ladies team of
Jan Manson, Natalie Rooney and Sheryl Anglem were 16 ahead
of the North Island team on 215. The Veterans team of Damian
Briggs, John Moore and Ray Everett were on 217, 18 ahead of their
North Island competition. The Juniors also had a comfortable lead
of 13 ahead of the North Island team on 207. The Junior team was
William Rooney, Alysha Bell and Hamish Bell.
Conditions were perfect for the Single Rise championship
on Wednesday. Armusa Ammunition sponsored this event. The
NZCTA is very grateful to Rick Stephens and Armusa Ammunition
for this sponsorship. All shooters are asked to consider these
sponsors when making their purchases. Without this sponsorship
the Nationals would not be as attractive. There were 367 shooters
who lined up on the mark; 165 AA grade, 94 A grade, 70 B grade
and 38 C grade. This compared favourably to the 335 entries last
year and 351 in 2009. There were the odd shooters who were seen
crying over a lost target but 61 AA, 11 A and 6 B grade shooters
shot the possible. This meant that just over 21% of the field shot
the possible so there wasn’t much wrong with the targets, the
settings or the conditions. C grade had five who shot 49 so they
had to shoot off for the placings. The Mabey family trophy had
27 family groups entered to shoot this trophy. What a brilliant
sport this is where families can compete both against and with
each other. The shoot off started at 2.30 in absolutely perfect
conditions and 6 hours later, after 250 targets, it was down to six
New Zealanders. The next round Peter Goodwin fell out. The shoot
off finished when the light started to fail and 325 shoot off targets
had been shot. At that point there were 6 left to ponder the targets
overnight. The bad luck award would have to go to Neill Pratt
who missed the first target in the morning. The following round
Toby Nicholl missed his first target giving him a shoot off score of
350/351. Following on close behind was Jon Beddis who missed
his 5th target giving him 354/355 shoot off targets. This left Ewen
Pirie and Brendon Malcolm to continue. It was another round
10 gunshot
again when Ewen missed his 23rd target, giving Brendon the HOA
title with 398/398 shoot off targets. The NZCTA introduced a new
category of shooter to cater for the growing number of disabled
shooters. As a trial disabled shooters are able to compete in their
own class for the NZ Single Rise, Single Barrel and Points Score
championships. There were four disabled shooters who availed
themselves of this new category and Tony Brogden won this
inaugural event with a score of 49.
Again Thursday saw near perfect conditions for the Single Barrel
Championship. As the temperature began to soar it was reminiscent
of previous Nationals at Hamilton. There were 24 possibles out of the
field of 348, including 3 from A Grade. The shoot off went 72 targets
when Jon Beddis from Huntly took the HOA. Peter Goodwin was
1st AA Grade and Australia featured in the results as Glen Hayden
took 2nd AA Grade after he shot 59 in the shoot off. New NZCTA
Executive member David Da Silva from Rotorua was 3rd A Grade. It
was wonderful to see Shane Ashforth receive the disabled category
medal for this event. There was a huge presentation that evening
as the Single Rise from the previous day was also presented. The
NZ Single Barrel Championship is sponsored by Kilwell/Gamebore
Ammunition. Kilwell are a huge sponsor of the NZCTA and have
been for many years. The list of events they sponsor is extensive and
the NZCTA Executive and members are deeply indebted to Kilwell
for this on-going support of our sport. The trophies the Kilwell
put on for the Single Barrel were very impressive and immensely
well received by the recipients. The day concluded just after 7pm
and people rushed off to the Hall of Fame dinner being held at the
Cosmopolitan Club.
Friday was always going to be a big day and the early morning
fog didn’t help much. The Points Score event is the make or break
event for many shooters who have aspirations of making the
Mackintosh team. Today was Beretta NZ’s day. They sponsored
both the NZ Points Score championship and the High Gun event.
Martyn Coe and Beretta NZ are a key sponsor of the NZCTA and
without their continuing support the championships would not
be as attractive for everyone that attends. The NZ Points Score
trophies were fiercely contested for between the 347 competitors.
Interestingly, almost 48.5% of the field was AA grade and sadly
only 6.5% were C grade. Conditions were near perfect and five
shooters shot the possible. Brian Hartley shot 148/150 in the shoot
off to take the HOA with David Muggeridge taking 1st AA grade
with 146/150 shoot off targets. Tony Brogden won his second
disabled medal with a score of 143.
The High Gun event was sponsored by Beretta who supplied a
cased Beretta 682E trap shotgun to the High Gun. This is a huge
contribution to our sport which certainly adds an added incentive
to all competitors to strive for this award. This event was where the
Australians finally made their presence known. Arty Del Ben came
up one point ahead on 438 to win the High Gun clear and take
the Beretta gun, the Silver Fern, the sash, cup and the magnum
of Gunn Estate wine. Following on, one point behind were Sam
Clifford, Stephen Atkins and Peter Goodwin who had to shoot off
to establish the AA Grade High Gun. Peter Goodin from Putaruru
came out the victor to take the AA Grade High Gun. Young Hamish
Bell from Nightcaps showed his form to take out the A Grade High
Gun. This was a particularly fine feat for a young shooter. Gun
Estate provided their delicious wine to all the championship High
Guns plus the High Overall winners. Please remember this brand
when at your local wine supplier as they also are a valued and long
standing supporter of our sport. It’s not hard to drink their wine as
they certainly make an exceptional product and have a very high
reputation in the wine industry.

There were the inevitable shoot offs to establish places in the
Mackintosh teams. With some shooters qualifying for junior or
veterans’ team plus the open teams, it can all get rather confusing
who goes where. This was all sorted rather painlessly and the team
members established.
Perazzi NZ and Brant Woodward have sponsored the Mackintosh
event for the last few years and the NZCTA is grateful for his
support. He has agreed to continue this valued sponsorship and
the Executive and team members thank Brant for this. Saturday
morning roll call at 9am saw all team members present but there
was a slight fog around so shooting didn’t start until 10.30 when
the conditions were perfect. This gave shooters time to collect the
Maxam ammunition, have a coffee and prepare themselves for
the event. There was only one 300/300 shot by Peter Goodwin,
who was also the highest qualifier for the team with the only 250
possible. The medals were presented, the photos were taken and
everyone buzzed off home, hopefully happy.
That then was the end of the 2011 DTL Nationals.
Please spare a thought to the committee members of the
Waikato Club. Without their untiring work this event would not
have been the success it was. I will not name individuals for fear
of missing someone who deserved to be mentioned but you all
know who you are. On behalf of the NZCTA Executive and the
shooters who attended – THANK YOU.

FITASC
2011 North Island and
New Zealand Sporting Champs
It’s been a very long time since over 200 shooters attended a
Sporting Island or National event, so Rotorua Rod & Gun Club were
delighted with the turn out. It was envisaged from an early start
that the event would draw a big crowd as it preceded the World
English Sporting Champs being held at T.V.D.A. the following
weekend.
Due to the likelihood of a larger than normal entry the
Club decided to run 75 targets per day, and are thankful to the
N.Z.C.T.A. for allowing this to happen as a ‘one off’. Three new style
FITASC grounds was the chosen format, which would also mean
the shooters could enjoy much of the great terrain the club has to
offer in the surrounding hills and valleys.
The Club was privileged to have overseas visitors from Ireland,
England, Sweden, Canada, New Caledonia, Australia and the
South Island, many coming back after the great experience of the
2009 Oceania Champs held on the same ground.
The first event on Saturday was the North Island Champs,
and precisely 200 made the starting line. The previous night a
rather large tropical cyclone raced through the region dropping
torrential rain which caused major slips around the Club grounds,
and closed a few roads heading to town. However, the morning
was fine although very windy which made a few targets a little
more challenging than they were meant to be!
Brian Deadman set the early pace with 25, a great score in tough
conditions. He then managed to repeat the effort for 50 straight
– he recorded the only 25’s of the event. Following up with 23
gave him a clear lead of three targets at the finish ahead of John
Younger of Australia on 70. A host of quality shooters followed;
Brenton Irons (Aust) 69, with Mark Vessey (Eng/Kiwi), Dale Clark
(NZ), David Marshall (Ire), and Stu Carter (Can) all on 68.
Tim Birdsall won a 3 way shoot off for B Grade after being tied
on 68 with Scott McDonald (Aust) and Roland Morris (Ire). John
McCormack (Ire) finished on top of C Grade with 66, followed by
Alan Grey on 56 and Sylvano Abdelkader on 54.
Sarah Hamburger continued her good form to win Ladies
with 62, and Adam Shale (Aust) took out Juniors also on 62. Rod
Bryant and Bryan Rafferty both shot 66 to win Veterans and Super
Veterans respectively.
The North Island Teams event was taken by Putaruru ‘Volunteer
Fire Brigade’ which included Des Coe, Brian Deadman, Peter
Goodwin and John Waterworth – a tough team to beat.
Sunday saw the start of the 150 target National event, which
attracted 204 competitors. The strong winds died out overnight
leaving conditions much better for the next two days although
occasional breezes and a few light showers caught a few of the
unwary. By the end of the day Brenton Irons, Mark Vessey, Colin
Dunne (Aust) and Anthony Panetta (Aust) all lead the charge on
68/75. Craig Macpherson (Aust) finished one back on 67.
Brian Deadman came unstuck on one round carding a score
that can’t be mentioned on paper, meaning he was unlikely to
repeat his heroics of the North Island event. Jonathan Hermansson
(Swe) led the way for the Juniors and also threatened the overall
leaders on 66.
The scores were still very close at the end of day two, and two
shooters tied on top shooting 135/150. Brenton Irons and Craig
Macpherson went through a tense 25 target shoot off to find the
winner. Irons emerged 2 targets clear and took the 2011 National
Title. Mark Vessey (134) and Anthony Panetta (133) rounded out
AA Grade and the top four.
Adam Hanson finished well with 129 to make sure a real Kiwi
took home a respectable medal in the National event, (no offence
Mark, but you’re not one of us just yet…!). Mark Doyle and Aiden
O’Sullivan took the other two A Grade places on 126 and 122. B
Grade this time saw Roland Morris take gold, beating Tim Birdsall
118 to 117, with Maurice Cavanagh finishing 3rd on 117 after a
shoot off. Continues on Page 24

2011 Provincials
Bay of Plenty
Rotorua Gun Club
12-13 February
The lead up to the Bay of Plenty
Provincials was quite intense for the
Club despite not long before having
held the North Island and New Zealand
Sporting, this was a different kettle of
fish. The committee members put a lot
of hard work into getting all the traps
in pristine condition worthy of such an
event. This included working in appalling
wet conditions many days in a row the
week before. As a club, we were hopeful
that the weekend of the event would be
dry enough to shoot despite Friday night
being horrendous in the weather front. The
whole of the North Island was definitely
battered and bruised early on Saturday
morning. However, the two rain fairies that
are somehow on the committee managed
to do their work, as despite it raining very
heavily at 7am, the weather slowly, but
surely it began to clear which was a good
sign. I can say that sleeping next to one of
our rain fairies is a trialling event in itself,
but worth it in the end.
Skeet was the first event of the day and
was contested by 38 shooters. Tony Truss,
Colin Heard, Dave Da Silva, Ian Marshall,
Steve Cooper and Mark Walsh managed
to shoot the possible. After the shoot off,
Steve Cooper managed to end up on top
taking out Sheet HOA. Which was good
because it was the only event which Steve
registered for, despite living a very long
distance away.
The second event of the day was the
minis. Out of 41 shooters, 18 managed to
shoot the possible. The shoot off sorted
out the placings though, with Scott Verran
taking out HOA. Natalie gave the boys a
run for their money but in the end settled
for the Ladies title having been amongst
those who shot the possible.
Double Rise was next on the menu.
From the field of 42 shooters there were
4 possibles shot with 8 close behind, but
not close enough, on 19. Devon Da Silva,
Graeme Williams, David Wordley and Des
Coe fought it out with David Wordley
taking the top placing, leaving Graeme
Williams with 1st A and Veterans, Des Coe
with 2nd A and Devon with 3rd A and the
Junior title.
We did hear that there were supposed to
be many more shooters turn up on the first
day; however the weather had battered the
North Island so much that many potential
shooters were stuck on the wrong side of
slips and floods. Some budding shooters
were forced to take alternative, and much
longer routes, as the will of the trigger
finger was too great.
Lunch was a little slow for our caterer
after having catered for the Sporting
18 gunshot
weekend, but the food was just as
wonderful. Different shooters I suppose.
Next up was the Single Rise. From
the field of 42, 18 were steady enough to
take out the possible. This lead to a long
enduring shoot off which went until dusk.
Natalie Curtis was in fine form and gave the
boys a definite run for their money here, as
was the NZCTA president Keith Livingstone.
However, Laurie Coppins held on and
managed to peg back the rest and took out
HOA. This left Keith Livingstone with 1st A,
Natalie with 2nd A, Neil Pratt with 3rd A. It
was interesting to sit in the club rooms and
listening to one young fella travelling with
Neil, who by this time had enough for the
day, get real excited when Neil dropped
his target. Just shows that the younger
generation just doesn’t understand the
importance of such an event and/or title.
With the day over, the weather which
had managed to hold off all day did pack
it in for the night and the rain fairies had
their work cut out for them again. The
combined efforts of both fairies ensured
that Sunday was just as good, if not better,
than that of Saturday. I must say sleeping
next to one of them is a job in itself though.
After the trials, tribulations and
disappointment of day one, there were
some shooters who chose to stay away,
but the better weather ensured that other
shooters chose to take their places. Some
would say it was the changes made in
the programme by the NZCTA, and/or
the particular weekend that this event
is scheduled to be held on but unless
someone comes up with a better way to
do it, it will be the same programme and
same weekend next year. In saying this, we
ended up with a field of 36 Shooters for the
day whom were contesting for the titles of
Triples, Points Score and Single Barrel as
well as the BoP Provincial High Gun.
The first event of the day was the triples.
The only possible was taken out by Lindsay
Stephenson and thus the HOA. Not bad
with the lack of sleep he endured. Six
shooters were left to sort out the placings
in A grade having shot 49. Rotorua did
well with Dave Da Silva and Graeme Geater
taking 1st and 2nd A grade respectively.
This left Mark Walsh with 3rd A. It was a
hard event, but good results.
This lead on to Points Score. There was
some terrific shooting with Grant Wallace,
Grant Castles, David Wordley, Natalie
Curtis and Anja Van de Wetering managing
to shoot the possible. Not sure what
happened here but there was not a Rotorua
member in sight. Natalie had not lost her
fine form from yesterday and fought hard
against David Wordley. However, David
managed to hold it together just enough
to take HOA from Natalie, leaving her with
1st A grade and Grant Castles and Grant
Wallace 2nd and 3rd respectively.
The last event of the day and weekend
was the Single Barrel. Nine shooters
managed to shoot the lot and apart from
Natalie Curtis and Graham Geater, they were
new names fighting for the top placings.
Robert Prince managed to hold off Natalie
and took HOA. This left Natalie with 1st A,
Graham Geater with 2nd A and Chris Cassin
with 3rd A. It must be mentioned that Ian
Lindsay shot extremely well, managing 24
out of 25 and took out the B grade.
Having finished all the events, the
Provincial High Gun placings were clear
with the help of the shooting spreadsheet
which Martin developed. His programme
was good to use on such an event and it was
good to have Martin there to clarify a few
things during the weekend. Thanks Martin.
The High Gun was clearly won by David
Wordley having achieved the score of
230/235. Despite shooting well, David Da
Silva was 1 point down and therefore took
the A grade High Gun. Bruce Parkin with
a score of 210 took B grade High Gun, and
David Balfour took C Grade High Gun with
a solid score of 177. Natalie Curtis took out
the ladies title with 225, Devon Da Silva
managed the Juniors High Gun with a
score of 217 and the Veterans was won by
Graham Geater with 229. Great shooting
by all, although it would have been better
competition in C grade if there were more
people in attendance.
Along with these High Gun placings,
there were also the two man and club
teams up for grabs from the results of the
1st day shooting. Ian Marshall and Martin
van de Wetering took the two man squad
out from Mark Walsh and Scott Verran
with only 4 points in it. The Rotorua Gun
Club, consisting of Dave Da Silva, Graham
Geater, Colin Heard and Keith Livingstone,
managed to take out the Club Teams event
with 293 over Thames and Whitianga, 282
and 268 respectively.
It was a nice ending to a nice weekend.
The weather held up with the help of two
hairy fairies, something which the club
was grateful for although I in turn was
grateful for a good night’s sleep ahead. I
can only apologise for the lateness of this
report to all shooters involved and those
who were interested in the results. It was
supposed to be written by Tony Truss,
however because of work commitments
and the lack of memory about the
weekend, which could be related to the
fact that he did not achieve any significant
placings throughout the entire event, I
have chosen to stand up and complete
this long overdue report. In spite of this, I
look forward to seeing you sometime soon
through the little window of the Rotorua
Rod and Gun Club’s clubrooms.

hall of fame EVENING
Thursday night 10th March saw the
third annual Hall of fame evening
held in Waikato at the Hamilton
Cosmopolitan Club. The three 2011
inductees for the evening were;
Mr (Ernest) E.R. King originally born in the
South Island E.R.King had a long association
with the Waihi Gun Club. Indeed the
photographs of Mr King were made available
to the NZCTA from the Waihi Gun Club.
E.R.King`s grandson Mr Peter King travelled
all the way from Perth in Western Australia to
attend this presentation evening along with
Mr Steven King the other Grandson who lives
in NZ. Peter had in his possession one of the
original National Medals his grandfather had
won complete with the diamond embedded.
It was indeed a treat to finally see one of
these medals up close as most of us had only
ever seen them in photographs.
Second inductee for the evening was
Mr Ernie Groome. Ernie`s family was also
in attendance to receive the award on
behalf of the family, Ernie`s daughter Mrs
Tiny White and son Mick Groome both
attended along with Jacq and Graeme Sime
(Granddaughter) and their son Mike Sime
(Great grandson). Obviously the shooting
traditions have continued throughout the
generations. Again we were treated to the
up close view of another of the NZ National
gold medals as Tiny White had also
brought one along for us to view. During

the presentation, a poem written by Ernie
was read and is printed for you below. The
relevance of this still stands true today.
Ernie travelled widely both internationally
and nationally to compete in his time and
his achievements speak for themselves as
to how good he was at his chosen sport.
Third inductee for the evening needed
no introduction to those present, Mr Ray
Everett. Ray`s achievements are widely
known throughout the trapshooting
fraternity and it was fitting that Ray`s
son Dean was there to speak about his
father`s achievements and acknowledge
his passion for the sport. While recognising
his special talents as a trap shooter, his
contribution to coaching of others within
our sport is also widely recognised and
appreciated. Ray`s achievements are
envied by many and set the standard for so
many of our younger shooters to aspire to.
A special award from the NZCTA was
also presented to National Secretary Mrs
Adrienne Sears for 20 years’ service in the
position as National Secretary. It was also
acknowledged that Adrienne`s service
to our sport actually spans significantly
longer than 20 years as she was also
secretary of the Christchurch Gun Club
for a number of years prior to taking the
position of National Secretary.
Last presentation for the evening was
that of shooter of the year for 2010. This
was awarded to Gavin Searle, there being
four other nominees for this award: Tony
Truss, Dave Wordley, Colin Waghorn and
Boston Walker

At the Association AGM in March, it
was announced that the Waikato Clay
Target Club has been selected to host the
11th ICTSF World DTL championships in
2014. This event will run immediately
after the 2014 NZCTA Nationals and is
expected to be a howling success.
Part of the success of the event will
rely on at least 12 trained and validated
referees being available to the Waikato
club for the three days of competition.
We have over two years to organise
those people, but we need to get this
ball rolling as soon as possible.
Council has agreed to re-introduce
official referees at Association matches
to officiate at shoot-offs and to be
available at all clubs to engender
good safety habits, rule awareness
and shooting etiquette. We have yet
to determine a formal process for
appointing new referees, but we are
working on that now.
In the interim, there are about
20 shooters who were previously
appointed association referees and who
the association would like to invite back
to active service. Then there are another
15 or so who have recently indicated an
interest in becoming an official referee.
Some of these people have sat the skeet
section of the referee examination.
Referees for 2014
World DTL Champs at Waikato
A Multi Choice and True/False rules
knowledge test has been created and is
almost ready for issue to the volunteer
Referees Examiners. These examiners are:
• Ron Thompson from Auckland
• Mike Shepherd from Canterbury
• Kelvin Gutsell from Southland
Once these gents have sat their own
examinations, they will be able to issue the
tests to individuals who otherwise meet
the requirements. At this early stage we
will be generating club referees and would
dearly like to see at least one member from
each club identified as the club referee.
Qualifications for Referees
• Be recommended by your club
committee
• be knowledgeable of the rules
• be able to make informed decisions
quickly
• be capable of identifying unsafe acts
or situations
• have a basic knowledge of the
relevant NZ laws as they apply to
firearms and shooting
• be prepared to officiate in all weather
conditions
• have a desire to ensure all shooters
have fair and equal opportunity to
shoot their match targets in a safe
environment
Or:
• have
previously
held
an
appointment as an Association
Referee, and
• have maintained conversance with
the NZCTA rules
We have the opportunity to reestablish a pool of competent referees to
help the association meet its obligations
and to ensure consistency in all facets
of competition. To do this we need
appropriately motivated volunteers
who we can identify as “rule savvy” and
appoint as club referees. Then, once a
proper process has been developed,
Council can take recommendations
for Official referees and make such
appointments as it deems appropriate.
If you meet the requirements and
are prepared to make yourself available
as a referee, please contact me at blue.
[email protected] and let me know.
Please indicate whether or not you will
be prepared to officiate at the 11th
World DTL champs in Hamilton in March
2014. For those without access to email,
I can also take snail mail at my home
address: 57A Albatross Close, Whitby,
Wellington 5024.
I look forward to hearing from you –
preferably before the end of May

REFEREES’ CORNER
By Blue Freeman, NZCTA Referees and Rules Director
Mailbag: Questions from Shooters.
The content for this issue of Referees’ Corner was
self-evident when I looked at the inbox. Here are
some practical instances that have been identified by
mainstream shooters as worth discussing in this forum.
My thanks to those who provided the examples below.
John McCormick of Southbridge writes:
I have a question regarding pre-match responsibility of shooters
– rule 4-15.
If a shooter runs out of ammunition part way through a match,
are they permitted to accept more either from a spectator or another
shooter?...and if they are allowed, do any penalties apply?
Could the answer to this question be published in the Gunshot
magazine?
The new rule books are really good and I have been working my
way through them brushing up my knowledge.
Yours sincerely, John McCormick (8669)
The rule John has identified makes it the shooters responsibility
to be on the mark on time with all equipment required to shoot
the match.
The rule is there to ensure that other shooter’s are not disrupted
at any stage by a shooter who fails to organise him/herself. That is,
one who needs to get more ammunition, get the correct chokes,
fetch the correct gun or find his/her shooting glasses etc., and has
left it until the last minute to organise, and the rest of the squad
are on the mark waiting.
This also means that a shooter cannot hold up the squad if he
runs out of ammo during a match. The shooter has 10 seconds
after the previous shooter has fired to call for his/her target (rule
5-12), and cannot absent him/herself from the squad without
permission. The first instance of time penalty incurs a warning;
subsequent occurrences incur a one target penalty (rule 4-49). If
the shooter left the squad without permission, all the rest of the
targets in that round would be scored as lost (rule 4-48).
For a shooter to be able to disrupt a squad there has to be a
justifiable reason and the time the squad may be held up for is
strictly limited. A disabled gun for example will give a shooter
three minutes away from the squad to perform repairs or obtain
a replacement, as will faulty ammunition; see rule 4-31 h) and g).
Three minutes is exactly that; not four or five minutes; 180 seconds
max. Otherwise the shooter can finish the round later at a time
determined by shoot management. (Rule 4-31 h))
Can another shooter or a spectator provide a shell or two? I
guess that depends on how tough are you going to play. Consider
the circumstances first:
• What was the shooter doing when he failed to pack enough
ammunition?
• Is he the club trap mechanic and had been repairing traps?
• Was he refereeing another squad?
• Or is he a chat-o-holic who had just been holding court in the
car park for the past half hour?
• Did a trap malfunction cause shooters to have to use
excessive numbers of their spare shells on “no targets”?
There are many shades of grey here: many reasons that create
the situation, so the shoot management and referee would need
to weigh up the causes before imposing any penalty.
That said, if it has been determined that a penalty is appropriate,
the following should be taken as a guide.
Provided no-one in the squad is disrupted, and provided
there is no time delay caused, such assistance is not specifically
prohibited, but a shooter could earn a warning under rule 4-49
for not having brought sufficient shells to complete the event. If
he then runs out again, a one target penalty would have to apply.
You’ll note that rule 4-49 demands that such penalty for a second
occurrence “must be applied”; it is not discretionary.
Thanks John. A good question well asked. I hope this is a
satisfactory answer for you.
A shooter from North of the Bombay Hills
also writes:
I have recent experience of four skeet rule interpretation queries. You
may want to use them in your rules corner of Gunshot.
Query 1
• The shooter is on Station 6 to shoot doubles.
• The low target emerges broken.
• The shooter shoots the broken low house target and then fires
at and misses the high house target all before ref calls no target.
• What is the correct call?
Answer: The correct call is “No Target. Proof double to determine
the result of both shots”. Rule 6-67 refers.
Query 2
• The shooter is on station 6 to shoot doubles.
• The low target emerges with a chip flying low right and not seen
by shooter.
• The low target and then high target are shot and broken. The ref
then calls no target on the low.
• What is the call?
Answer: This call is “No Target. Proof double to determine the
result of both shots”. Rule 6-67 refers.
Query 3
• The shooter is on station 2 to shoot doubles.
• Shooter shoots high target and then the low target.
• The ref, (no scorer present) after watching the high target break,
notices that the flight path of the low house is irregular the
target is flying tipped down on the shooter’s right hand side
and turning to the shooter’s right such that if not shot it would
probably have landed near station 1.
• The ref calls one-one. A fellow competitor says “there was no
centre in the target”. The ref says ”I didn’t see that the target
was broken. If the shooter had not shot at the low house target I
would have called for a proof double first target scored”.
• Should the Ref have called a no target on the second target on
the word of a fellow competitor even though he did not see that
the target was broken?
Discussion: While the rule 6-18 c) is emphatic that the result of firing
at a broken target is not to be scored, the referee has to identify the
gunshot 23
target as broken to make such a call. In this case it appears that the
referee only noticed the target flight was irregular but failed to call
it before the shooter fired. Rule 6-18 makes it a referee’s first duty to
declare “No Target” as soon as he/she determines that an irregular
target has been thrown but rule 6-18 a) makes it mandatory to score
the target if the shot was made before the call.
Answer: Rule 4.03 f ) explains that the referee must make the final
decision himself. The referee seems to have made the correct
decision based on his observations.
It could well be that if the shooter himself had told the referee
that the target had no centre, the referee would have given a
proof pair to determine the result of the low target.
Query 4
• The shooter is on station 2 and has missed high 2 double. Repeat
to shoot.
• Ref pulls a double instead of a single high.
• The shooter misses the high 2 target. The shooter requests a no
target is called because of interference from the low house target.
• What is the call?
Answer: The call is “Lost target”. Rule 6-31 b) is specific about this
occurrence.
•
And a late entry from up North:
• The shooter calls for high 6.
• The target is released.
• An audible click is heard as the shooter pulls the trigger.
• The ref heard the click and asked the shooter to open the gun.
• Inspection of the cartridge revealed that the primer was absent.
• Is this covered by: - Rule 6-37 a) i, or by Rule 6-37b?
Bearing in mind that there was no firing pin indentation because
there was no primer and as the primer was absent the powder
had spilled out.
Discussion: A couple of years ago, a very big European
ammunition company manufactured several millions of primed,
empty shells with the primer set too deep in the case. These
hulls were delivered to reloading companies all over the world
and many end users experienced that awful “click” sound when
they pulled the trigger. In an unacceptably high proportion of
instances, the firing pin failed to strike the primer face creating
a malfunction situation. In New Zealand this gave rise to literally
hundreds of gun malfunction calls, as there was no indentation
on the primer. Some people sent their guns to be repaired and
others blamed hard primers. Eventually the cause was isolated
and everyone permitted ammo malfunctions without the primer
indentation - a sensible outcome.
Answer: Neither of the rules mentioned covers the situation, but
I believe the intent of the rules has been met. In this case, the
hammer was heard to drop and presuming there were two shells in
the gun, the referee knows the gun was loaded with a fresh (albeit
faulty) cartridge and that the trigger was pulled. The absent primer
tells us it was an ammo malfunction rather than a gun malfunction.
I would certainly allow this instance as a faulty cartridge
knowing that after it occurs a second time, the gloves are off and
all further instances will be scored “lost”. This would still protect
the rest of the squad from the home re-loader who brings his duds
and bloopers along to the club and uses them in a competition.
Well, it looks like I’ve used up all the space I had for this article.
Thank you once again shooters; please check your scores and your
guns

John McCormack took the C Grade clean sweep shooting 107,
beating Alan Grey again. Alan finished closer this time though
with 104. Chris Gibbison showed some impressive late form to
claim Bronze on 102.
Tara Lawrence took out the National Ladies title with 110, while
world class Junior Jonathan Hermansson shot an impressive 131.
Robin Shawyer (124) and Dick Foster (115) won Veterans and
Super Veterans respectively.
The event finished in great spirits, with very satisfying
comments coming from many shooters. Most were now looking
ahead to the World English in Paeroa, but were also keen to rest up
for a couple of days after 3 tough days on competition. No rest for
the committee and workers though, with a major clean up ahead.
The Rotorua Rod & Gun Club wishes to acknowledge the
generous support and sponsorship from the following people
and companies; Battery Town and Hunt Auto Electrical, Citizen
Watches and Truss Jewellers, NSI Ammunition and Mai Mai
Supplies, Auckland Met Gun Club, Amber Heights (Terry Lalich),
Lone Pine Sporting Clays (Darryl Groundwater), N.Z. Community
Trust, Lion Foundation, Laporte and Kilwell Sports. Without these
companies and individuals, this event wouldn’t have been the
success it was, so the generous support is much appreciated
Ernest Groome’s Motto
for those to come. Courage
When the last clay bird is shot at,
And you’re walking from the line,
Perhaps a new born champion;
Or just one more behind,
Don’t take the game too serious!
If you’ve really done your best,
But keep your head and chin up
And smile just like the rest.
For the scores of life aren’t everything,
Nor the bally-hoo and such,
But the way you went to battle,
And your conduct count for much.
It’s not the loot you’ve garnered,
Nor the write-ups you have gained,
But the fact you’ve been a SPORTSMAN,
And you’ve tried that brings you fame.
For the trophies soon will tarnish,
And the purse is quickly spent,
But the way you waged the battle,
And the helping hand you lent,
Will count more in the reckoning,
That will come along one day,
And the memories you must live with,
Will help you on your way.
So shoot each string the best you can,
And play the game full square,
Just do as you’d have others do,
Earn a word from those who care.
Then whether you come out high gun,
Or just an also ran,
Your heart is light, your soul at peace,
You’ve done the best you can.

The day started off overcast providing
good consistent light but we also got
some passing cloud to make the lighting
more of a challenge at times, then finished
up with a hot clear summer afternoon
and no wind to speak of all day. Thanks
to Bryce and Don for a great job on target
setting. A big thank you to the Thames
club for allowing us to run the event at
their superb facilities. Thanks to all those
who helped on the day with trap loading,
refereeing, and cleaning up. Martin van de
Wetering running the office and cashiering
the shoot, Nola the resident 5star chef
for another nice lunch. Thanks again to
Don McCarthy for tirelessly donating his
time for the day to help with the grounds,
trap loading, target setting, and cleaning
up. Thank you to the competitors who
travelled varying distances to participate in
an event in memory of the man who made
the effort to get ATA shooting started in
New Zealand. We were lucky again to
have Mary Card, her daughter Merryn and
grandson Logan as guests for the day and
Mary to help with the presentation and her
very much appreciated generous support
with a $500 donation to the prize money.
The four buckles that Ross had made for
the first competitors to shoot 100 straight
were in no danger again despite some
great shooting and good scores.
The event was shot in two rounds of 100
targets.

Another surprisingly great weather
day at Thames and despite the heavy
cloud bank around the hills, we got
no rain. As usual the grounds and
facilities were superb. Thanks again
to all the regular workers: Diane and
Stephanie running the office and
cashiering the shoot, Martin, Don and
Bryce, trap loading and target setting
as well as those who helped referee
and score. And our resident 5 star chef
Nola for another great lunch. Thanks
also to those who attended and made
for an enjoyable day of shooting. The
singles started with ideal conditions
which should have had the buckle
for the first 100 straight worried but a
very light temporary incoming breeze
on the second trap was just enough
to lift the targets slightly and allow a
couple to get away. Bryce and Dave
equal tied on 97 in the singles and
chose to split the pool rather than
shoot off. Unfortunately, despite
some good shooting in the handicap
event no one found the formula to run
them. Martin van de Wetering, Dave
Muggeridge and Graeme Williams
were showing great timing shooting
the second target in the doubles.
The ATA would like to welcome
Michael Dear as a new member.

BERETTA JUNIOR SCHOLARSHIP
The 2011 Beretta NZ Junior Scholarship was announced at the
High Gun Awards presentation at the Waikato DTL Nationals. The
Scholarship was won by 17-year old Jamie Peryer-Fursdon from
the Hutt Valley Clay Target Club who capped off a positive week of
shooting at the Nationals with the award.
The Beretta Junior Scholarship is designed to assist promising
young shooters to stay in the sport at a time when they are
moving on from college either into university or full-time work.
There are considerable financial pressures on young shooters and
their families supporting them when they aren’t earning their
way in the world, so the sponsorship was developed to reward
deserving junior shooters and to give them ‘a leg up’ to continue
their development within clay target shooting.
The Scholarship concept has been very successful over the 8
years it has been running and this year’s DTL Nationals were an
effective demonstration of just how successful it has been with
current and past recipients featuring during the week:
• Brendan Malcolm won the Single Rise and the Handicap
Championships
it ends, along with a full set of clothing and shooting gear and
supply of RC ammunition.
The NZCTA thanks Beretta NZ for its continued support of the
Junior Scholarship and would encourage all junior shooters aged
17-21 years to seriously consider entering the 2012 Scholarship.
Entries will be open following the NZ Secondary Schools
Championships in September.
Barry Williamson, Judging Convenor on behalf of the NZCTA
• Colin Waghorn won the Double Rise Championship and the
Whisky Trophy Match and was a member of the Mackintosh
team
• Nick Gavin, Nicholas Picknell and Jamie all shot their way into
the senior Mackintosh team
Jamie had a good week getting into the senior Mackintosh
team via a shoot-off. He also won the Juniors title in the Ball Trap
Championship and the Whisky Trophy event.
This year’s selection process was as difficult as years gone by.
Thanks to a professional and un-biased judging panel consisting
of Gavin Paton, Gavin Searle, Ewen Pirie and the writer, the
selection process was completed well before the Nationals, so
those who didn’t get through were advised well prior, given that
the recipient has to be present at the Nationals to receive the
Scholarship presentation.
The standard was extremely high this year and the final rankings
were very close. The Scholarship is not designed to necessarily
reward elite shooters; it is designed to look for shooters showing
promise and those who need financial assistance to stay in the
sport. The fact that Beretta has had such outstanding results from
its recipients shows the success of the concept, as with only one
exception, at the time of being awarded the Scholarship, most
recipients had not performed at the highest level, but soon came
through with the results they had alluded to in their entries.
Jamie fulfilled all the necessary criteria and Beretta NZ is
looking forward to helping him achieve his shooting goals over
the next two years.
The NZCTA is a proud partner in the Scholarship through
the provision of a cash fund to be used for travel and future
ammunition purchases, a coaching programme and providing the
judging panel on behalf of Beretta.
The Scholarship is a generous two-year offering consisting
of a new Beretta 682E for the period of the Scholarship with the
opportunity to purchase the shotgun at a subsidised price when

The club has recently been able to
obtain copies of newspaper articles that
trace the original formation of the club
to August 1899. Previously the oldest
information available was photos from
1914. That means we have missed our
Centenary by a mere 12 years.
The club will be holding a centenary
celebration over Labour weekend
in late October which will include
a Centenary shoot on the Saturday
with a BBQ at the club etc. On Sunday
and Monday there will be the Thames
Valley District Championships.
These dates and celebrations will
also include a Jubilee for the club
being on its grounds at the Thames
airfield for 50 years. In 1961 the club
was located to the airfield grounds
and held its first club championships
in early 1962, so there will be a double
cause to celebrate the club history.
More details of the weekend
events, including the programme
for the 3 days will follow in Gunshot
later. We look forward to hosting club
members, past members and visitors
from all over and invite you to join us
for this special event.
Canterbury Earthquake
Following the devastating event in
Christchurch in February, The Thames
Club Committee decided to hold a
fund raising shoot on our regular
March club day. Traditionally this has
been a quiet day as it is so near to the
completion of the NZCTA National
Champs, but by holding this event
we hoped to attract a few who were
maybe not too shot out.
The day’s programme included both
a DTL day or a 100 target skeet event,
so whichever took your fancy could be
enjoyed. It was very pleasing to have
just on 40 shooters shoot the DTL and
two squads shoot 100 targets skeet.
The club donated its income from the
shoot and many shooters also donated
their sweep winnings too. A brand new
shooting jacket was donated by Don
McCarthy as a raffle with all proceeds
to go into the fund. It was rewarding
to be able to send $1,200 to the NZCTA
relief fund at the end of the day and we
hope this will in some small way make
things a little brighter for someone
affected by the quake

AJ, what can one say about him. It was
bad enough hearing in the newsroom
that a R22 helicopter was reported
overdue somewhere in the Canterbury
high country, but when confirmation was
received that it was Adrian’s machine, one
thought he’s sitting up there somewhere
fishing or helping out a friend. It was with
utter disbelief that the worst possible
news came through that Adrian had
crashed and not survived. In the aviation
world he was regarded as an extremely
careful, diligent and experienced pilot of
over 20 years. He has been a member of
the NZCTA for many years, although not
actively clay shooting at the moment was
a generous sponsor of shooting events
and was always interested in what was
going on in the Sporting world. He started
Shooters Supplies in Riccarton in 1982,
and it was a place where many friends
gathered for a chat or the occasional rum,
and the shop echoed many a joke, laughs
and its fair share of straight out lies! His
legacy goes back beyond that though,
and at a young age had a hardware
shop in Hornby where his love of guns,
helicopters and life developed and
blossomed. Never afraid of hard work,
often he was found on the farm with
the goats, setting up his small shooting
coaching school, developing a shooting
reserve and trying to balance business life
with a hectic and social home life. Adrian
and Jane had just built their dream home
and together with family, life only had one
gear, ‘full on’.
Adrian was a very successful business
man with a very diverse portfolio and was
widely known throughout Christchurch
for his business acumen. As his friend and
mentor, pilot Dick Deaker said “I’ve never
heard one person say a bad word about
him”, not bad for a businessman, and
sums up the man to a tee.
He is survived by his partner Jane, and
family Andy, Holly, Scott, Dale and Nicole.

REPCO 100
HBD & Willie Paurini Memorial Shield
The Repco 100 HBD was hosted by Hutt
Valley on Saturday 19th February.
Our thanks go to Repco Upper Hutt, who
have supplied approximately $1,000.00
worth of prizes. Unfortunately, we only had
17 shooters contesting the prize pool and
with prizes going down to tenth place, not
many shooters missed out on a prize.
Highest score of the day was 95’s,
recorded by Jamie Peryer-Fursdon, Wayne
Pym and Robert Prince and after a short
shoot off, first place was won by Robert
Prince from Wayne Pym taking second and
Jamie Peryer-Fursdon third place. Dave
Turner, Don Staples and Kim Owen, on 93’s
had to shoot off with Kim Owen taking
fourth place, Dave Turner fifth place and
Don Staples sixth.
No more shoot offs were required for
the remaining places with Grant Wareham
taking seventh place on 92, Phill Bazalo
eighth place on 91, Rick Spence ninth place
on 90 and Karl Andrews taking tenth place
with an 89.
Thanks again to Darren from Repco
Upper Hutt for supplying the prizes, all
the prizes were well received by their
respective recipients. The small turnout of
shooters made for a nice early finish, ready
for 150 targets Sunday.
A better number attended on the
Sunday 20th February with 32 shooters
to contest the Willie Paurini Memorial
Shield held over 100 tgt Single Rise. As
the Nationals were only a few weeks away,
we programmed the 100 tgts to be shot
as 50 tgts Single Rise and 50 tgts Point
Score events with the combined scores
for the Willie Paurini Memorial Shield still
scored on a single rise basis. Shooters are
given a number of targets in, according
to the higher of their last two common
mark percentages rounded up. Shooters’
scores plus their number of targets in that
reach 100, qualify to shoot off for the Willie
Paurini Memorial Shield on a handicap by
distance basis. The benefit of this system
allows all shooters an equal chance of
winning the shield. 14 shooters qualified
for the shoot off, 7 from A grade and 7
from C grade. They all shot off on their
respective handicap by distance marks
and the eventual winner was Dave Turner,
a great effort off 22 metres.
The event was kindly sponsored again
by Target Products with prizes awarded to
the Willie Paurini Memorial Shield winner
and first, second and third place in the
three grades over the 100 targets, again
on a single rise basis. Greg Bentley, Robert
Prince and Dave Turner shot the 100 and
after a shoot off couldn’t separate Robert
Prince and Dave Turner, they decided to
split the Falcon ammunition prize. So first
equal in A grade was shared by Robert
Prince and Dave Turner and third A grade
going to Greg Bentley.
Jamie Cane posted the best B grade
score shooting a 90, closely followed by
Brendon Coe on 89 and Karen Hayes on 87.
Following on from his C Grade win last
year, Ian Barr won C grade again with a very
good 94, followed by Don Staples 92 and
John Varley on 90.
We finished off the day with a 25 pair
Double Rise match, again with the Nationals
in mind. Keith Zehnder, Robert Prince and
Dave Turner posted the best scores of the
day on a pair that most shooters struggled
with, sharing the A grade sweep on 42’s.
Dave Gwerder won B grade with 35, Jamie
Cane second on 30 and Brendon Coe third
on 25. Grant Wareham won C grade with a
very good 37 followed by John Varley on
35, Ian Barr and Don Staples sharing third
with 34’s.
We also ran an optional ungraded sweep
over the 150 tgts for the day and a sweep
over the 250 tgts for the weekend. Robert
Prince and Dave Turner were first equal
over the 150 tgts with a score of 142 and
Greg Bentley third on 138. Robert Prince
took out the sweep over the two days with
a score of 237, closely followed by Dave
Turner on 235, Dave Grant and Phill Bazalo
sharing third place on 223’s.
Another good day’s shooting at Hutt
Valley with the usual thank you to Robert
Prince for setting the targets and Turner
and Hooch for keeping the shoot running
smoothly and all the others that pitched in
on the day, many thanks

MOVED Keith Livingstone/Neil Winsloe “That Trevor Manson
be awarded NZCTA Life Membership.” Carried
Trevor thanked the meeting for the honour bestowed on him
2. Range Manual.
Gavin Searle spoke to the meeting on the range manual that
has been sent out to clubs. He advised clubs must draw up
a set of Range Standing Orders and advised the NZCTA are
giving the responsibility back to clubs to manage their ranges.
The NZCTA Council has adopted this but is now asking clubs
to endorse the Manual.
MOVED Peter Lapwood/Mark Walsh “That the NZCTA Range
Manual be adopted.” Carried
3. 2014 World DTL allocation.
The process of the allocation was advised to the meeting. The
NZCTA Council has voted to allocate this event to the Waikato
Clay Target Club. It was noted that this would require a change
to the rotation of the 2014 DTL Nationals to enable the Worlds
to be run in conjunction with our Nationals.
4. Dean Everett asked the Chair what assistance Council has
given to clubs for upgrades. Keith Livingstone replied that
we have loaned TVDA $10,000 as seeding capital to enable
them to run the World English Sporting Championships. This
has been the only monetary contribution. Dean asked what
gunshot 37
assistance the NZCTA is going to give clubs in computerising.
Keith advised that this project is still in its infancy and we are
aware that the groundwork must be right for this. This could
be a 5 year plan. Martin van de Wetering spoke on the need
to make the programme easy for clubs to use and simplify the
office procedures but it was vital to select the most suitable
operating platform and try to future proof the system as much
as possible.
Continued from Page 6
Gavin Searle commented on pre-squadding and the disadvantages
of this. Mainly it appears to kill any social interaction between
competitors shooting at other times.
by sporting shooters. The emphasis will be on brand new good
gear and either trailers or a truck depending on members
thoughts. The club will be a little while away in hosting its first
“public” shoot and is now in the process of a setting up its own
infrastructure, applying for some NZCTA shoots and looking at
shoot dates in the spring that will not interfere in other clubs.
I am an avid reader of Gunshot and eagerly await it arriving
and read every word more than once, so when the last issue
arrived I was extremely disappointed I must say. AS Winston
Churchill said “This was their finest hour”, well it should have
been for Sporto’s, but seeing a front cover of a DTL shoot held in
December, when it probably should have been George Digweed,
it was only his 18th World Championship!! Not only that, Stager
Sports and Hugh Bradley would have been disappointed, as
he gave a new Blazer shotgun and really received no publicity
for his very generous sponsorship. The sponsors are extremely
valuable to us, even more so in these tight times and should be
extremely high on the priority list when sitting up and running
shoots.
I, and most people at the recent GP, would have thought
Sporting, especially an NZCTA run event, would have expected
a bit more than 2 pages and several B&W photo’s especially
when other events attracting fewer than 100 shooters had more
pages and colour photos. I do understand it takes huge efforts
and volunteer labour to produce the magazine, but let’s try to
bring all the codes together and showcase them all. Enough
said and there I let it rest.
The Meeting closed at 7.12pm
Ron Madden for the Sporting Committee
5. Brian Smith asked about squadding at major events and
suggested we should use same the first squads on each day.
6. Martin van de Wetering advised he is retiring from Council
and commented on what Councillors put into the role and reiterated that everyone has the best interest of the shooters at
heart. He congratulated Trevor and thanked everyone for the
support he has enjoyed.
The meeting adjourned at 6.45pm and reconvened at 7.00pm.
The voting on the remits was announced
Keith Livingstone announced that some clubs are hosting a charity
shoot for the Christchurch Earthquake fund that the NZCTA will
establish. Advertising in Gunshot will be free for these events
and the NZCTA will administer funds collected to those shooters
deemed to need assistance.
Moved Ewen Pirie/Ian Swale “That all voting papers be destroyed.”

Sunday February 6th had a slight northerly breeze at the

Products sponsored shoot. Our shooters started turning up early
for what was to be a marathon day. We ended up with 55 shooters,
15 more than last year. We thought we had it under control with 4
traps and shooting 50 targets per visit until our latest purchased
trap decided to give us trouble and we ended up using 3 traps and
finishing at 6pm.
The programme consisted of 100 DTL Single Rise, 50 Point
Score and 50 Single Barrel. We threw over 10 thousand targets for
the day, just over 66 cartons of CCI Targets. Broken targets could
be counted on one hand.

CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS
and TROPHIES
It’s an amazing day when a Club holds its Club Championships.
The attendance at the club swells to well above a normal club
day and shooters from far and wide are out there enjoying the
events and doing their very best to take home a trophy. As trap
shooters, we are competitive by nature and that is all part of our
sport. But is our system of presenting trophies the right way to
do things?
At a recent club championship, all shooters at the trophy
presentation at the conclusion of the day’s events eagerly awaited
the President’s speech followed by the trophy presentations.
A couple of younger shooters had shot extremely well and
deserved the trophies they were about to receive.
It was obviously a disappointment to them when they were
acknowledged as having won the trophy, but could not be
presented with it as the winner from the previous year had not
bothered to bring the trophy back.
As an estimate, the best part of 50% of the trophies just
weren’t available.
As an aside, often the person who had the trophy previously
sometimes can’t even manage to get the engraving done.
Perhaps a better system might be as follows:
• The Club recalls all of its trophies and retains them
indefinitely.
• When the trophies are competed for at clubs annual
championships, then the club arranges for the trophies to
be engraved with the appropriate details. The winner of
that trophy pays for the engraving and the trophy goes
back into the clubs trophy cabinet.
• The club presents the winner with a shooting vest badge
which details the event, year and winner. The recipient
would retain this for life.
Such a system would overcome the possibility of trophies being
not returned or even permanently lost and I believe the shooting
badge would be as keenly sought after as any trophy
John Larcombe
Obviously the current holder of the trophy should ensure that
it gets back to the club for its annual club championship day, but
this is often not the case.

Fifty One shooters attended the Southland District
Championships. We were told that maybe another 11 shooters
would have been there, but for that happy occasion of our good
old bloke, Clark Pirie doing the big deed that weekend. It was a
bit on the quiet side with the man himself, Lindsay Rodgers, exPresident Trevor Manson and the dairy farmer himself, Ewen Pirie
not present. Congratulations Clark.
With a very small number of club members, approx. five, we did
very well to get through the very humid (weather wise) occasion.
A very special thanks to Stephen Diack for helping John with the
trap draw etc. It was a bit unfortunate that the shoot offs were
contested in the sudden downpour later on, but nevertheless
and well-spoken by Geoff Jukes, President of the Southland Sub
Association. It was such an honour and pleasure to see such a fine
young lad, Hamish Bell, take out the Southland District High Gun.
Also special thanks must go to Falcon/Fiocchi for their continual
support in the yearly event.
