Lonato, Italy in June and Tampere, Finland in July gave us a number of medals. Firstly, Lonato yielded 4 silver and 1 bronze, so it was to Tampere where we witnessed arguably the most outstanding individual performance for the year and the most significant team feat of all time. Michael's determination when all seemed lost came through and he finished with the World Championship title. His second gold medal came when, teaming with Russell and Glen Kable, we won our first ever World Championship gold. Suzie Trindall also shot extremely well a t this event, winning bronze in the Junior Women, an excellent achievement. PRESIDENT'S ANNUAL REPORT NOTES It is with pleasure I bring to you my 1999 Annual Report. I believe the most significant step in the year was moving into our new National Office and the work that has been completed so far on the Complex to ensure the future of the ACTAand the sport of clay target shooting. To date our work is well within budgeted estimations and contrary to some rumours, we have not borrowed money, nor have we used any funds from the Legislation Account. During the year we experienced some staff changes, with Graeme Brown finding the life in the country difficult to adjust to after living all his life in the City. Graeme resigned his position and Andrew Sanders was appointed Executive Officer. Deborah Brown left to take up a senior position with another Wagga Wagga company and with her went our best wishes. Rebecca Blair and Daniel Bond joined our staff as receptionist/typist and Accounts Clerk respectively, and we look forward to their time with us. Our total membership for the year was 12,381. I believe this figure shows that the Association was able to maintain a significant number of the members who joined during the period of uncertainity in firearm ownership. Again in 1999 our shooters continued to achieve outstanding results in all segments of our sport, both internationally and at home. In Down the Line our teams excelled a t the World Championships in Wales with the Open, Veteran and Junior teams winning gold and our ladies team the silver. ~h~ mostsignificant individual performance was the silver medal won by Terry Walls. ISSF events our shooters continue to lead the world. Our first gold medal for the year was won by Russell Mark in trap at the World Cup in Peru. Other medais won there were silver, in both the trap and double trap teams, and Clive Barton shot extremely well to win bronze in skeet. From the Cyprus World Cup we gained 1 silver and 1 bronze. On to Kumamoto, Japan, where Michael Diamond's efforts earned him the gold medal in trap and our team picked up silver. In double trap our men's team were the bronze medal winners. Page 2 New Zealand hosted the Third Commonwealth Championships and here Nidal Asmar, Craig Tilley, Nessa Jenkins, Suzie Balogh and Natalie Rahman all performed exceptionally well winning individual gold medals. Many hours of tireless work is put in by our National Executive members to ensure the best for all. Our only Executive change for the year saw Bronte Evans return as the delegate for Northern Territory replacing Tony Brown. Welcome back Bronte and our thanks to Tony for his contribution whilst a member of the team. Special thanks must he accorded to all our sub committees and their chairpersons for their positive input to the Association. It is unfortunate that often these members are subjected to unfair criticism, particularly the Rules subcommittee. We certainly welcome disagreement and debate, but always in a spirit of co-operation and, please, in the pursuit of a common goal. To each executive member individually, I say thank you for your support and your work during '99. I must note a special thank you to my Vice President, and chairman of the Finance Committee, Bill Jones. Bill's judgement in both positions makes my task so much easier. Thank you Bill. Let us remember with affection those among our numbers who passed away during the year. To their families left, we express Our sympathy. The Association is indebted to the Australian Sports Commission for their continued support. To our very valued sponsors, a very genuine and sincere thankyou, your conribntion is irreplaceable. We must also express our thanks to the City of Wagga Wag@ and their council for the way in which they have assisted us in so many ways in our relocation to their city We have now moved into a new millenium and a new chapter in the Australian Clay Target Association. Let us all work for the betterment of our sport and our organization together. I firmly believe our future has never been brighter.

During the previous month the Club had received notification from the landowners that its lease would not he renewed and the club would have to relocate. The club grounds looked a picture with plenty of shade tents, flowers &shrubs in vases. Another innovation was members wives or daughters handing out pieces of fruit (beat that Mick Shields!) winner 93 shooters nominated from Clubs as far south as Canherra, Orange, Sydney & SW QLD. The conditions were perfect for the first eventwhich was a graded cash divide in which 39 possibles were recorded. Event 2 was the Olympic Targets Northern Zone Double Barrel C'Ship and giving some indication of what was going to happen later on 30 possibles were squadded for the shoot off. Glen Innes had a reputation of heing a hard Club to shoot a big break off. In fact John Farrell from Coffs Harbour held the ground record of 240 shot a t a previous zone carnival. This shwt off was to continue into the next day to finalize overall & AAGrade with 3 contenders left - Tony Schafer, John Farrell &Brad Hooper. Brad was the first to miss with his 419 target. John Farrell missed his 506 target, giving victory to Tony Schafer from Cessnock with a great score of 5061506. The Northern Zone Single Barrel C'Ship was started on Saturday afternoon once the Double Barrel shoot off was in 1 squad. Surprisingly there were only 2 possibles -Tony Schafer & Jim Hunter (who had driven 16 hours to attend this shoot). This event was also finalised on Sunday morning with victory going to Jim Hunter from Eromaugai who shoots with the Scrubby Creek Gun Club, with a score of 86/86. Tony Schafer's break finally came to an end with his 85th target, giving him a long break of 611 - congratulations. After the shoot offs the first event on Sunday morning was again another graded cash divide with 38 possibles sharing in the sweepstakes. The Northern Zone Point Score C'Ship was the next event and no possibles. Col Burt and Tony Schafer on 1481150 shot off for the Overall, which was over after only 2 targets, giving victory to Col Burt of Tamworth with a score of 1541156 fmm Tony Schafer 1531156. The Zone Teams were finalised after this event and good luck to those competing against the other zones later on in the year. The last event was the 50 Target Double Barrel Sapphire Coast event and after the 50 targets there were 15 possibles. A gusty head wind kept the shot off to a shorter version compared to the Double Barrel C'Ship. Ian Burey from Glen Innes claimed Overall victory with 114/114 from Brad Hooper of Kempsey with a score of 1131114. No shoot offs were required for High Guns. Tony Schafer claimed Overall, Brad Hooper AA Grade, Ian Burey A Grade, Peter McGuire B Grade &Ian Thompson C Grade. The Ladies High Gun was won by Cindy McBean, the Junior by Scott Wallis and Les Kennedy was successful in the Veterans. Some good scores were recorded and the secretary has placed orders for plenty of break badges and the handicapper assisted with thanks by Barbara Nash saw plenty of shooters break into higher grades. April 2000 The hard working band of wives in the kitchen assured us that lunch and afternoon tea were well catered for and many thanks for their dedication. Full results of this shoot appear in the results section. I was just putting the finishing touches to this report when I was advised of the sudden passing of Col Burt from Tamworth. No doubt there will appear tributes to Col from the Tamworth Gun Club, but I would like to say that to attend a shoot with Col be i t from a club monthly shoot through to a No*hern 'One winner' Nationals, a s I and many others have had the privilege of, we knew we would enjoy his company, competitiveness and his humor. The Club extends its condolences to his wife Jenny and to his family. Andrew Futter On Saturday 29 January 2000, a t Nepean Clay Target Club, the Commonwealth Ball Trap Championship was contested in fine weather with a light breeze. This is normal for Nepean as the scores indicated. At the end of the first 50 targets Peter Mills (Cerberus) 50150 was ahead of Chris Carrol (Cerberus) and Craig Henwood (Melbourne) with 49150, but they could not keep the pressure on and Peter finally won overall by two targets.

The first being the ACTA Nationals, the other the wedding of Manvic Manalon to Karl Nasarenko and the wording of the ceremony would be like this. Do you Karl take Marivic in squad 4 on lane 3 to be together as in Deauvllle Doubles and remember that in Denuvlllc 1)oubles there is no malfunction. Do you Marivic take Karl for better and never complain about your new handica~? Best wishes and best of luck to both of you. Have a great lifetime together. I t reminds me of the young couple getting married and the groom to be said to his future wife, "We don't know a lot about this safety stuff and we don't want children straight away, so you go and see your mate in the chemist and she will give you good advice". So the next day the bride went to the chemist and talking to her girlfriend told her their position, getting mamed and not wanting children, etc. So the girlfriend showed her several gadgets and after thinking for a while she chooses something like balloons without blowing them up. So she said "How do you buy them" and her girlfriend said "Loose in packs and most colors". So then the bride to be said, "I will have blue, green and yellow packs". So eight months after the wedding the wife returned to the chemist and asked her girlfriend could she fit her with a nursing brassiere and her friend said sure no trouble all I need to know is what bust? And the wife thought for a while and said it was the yellow one's that L ..- " 1 1 ""Law ~ ~ ~ Best of luck to those off to the Nationals; hope you have good weather.

His wife wanted the car, Graham started walking from Rocky with his gun, ammo, ham sandwich and his book of dirty jokes, just before daylight, and was lucky going through Gladstone and saw Ray Wise and got a lift to Bundy. Graham gave me a few jokes for MTB, and I put them in bleach overni~ht . but they didn't come clean. Good to see you again Graham.

So Monday morning and Stafford rang and told me I won the quicky board but instead of whisky, it was $20 and Auriel dropped it in my mailbox while shopping. So I was looking for its arrival, as Auriel couldn't get a nip of whisky I was willing to cut the corner of the $20 hut she was too slick for me as I had the bible and most likely had my head in it. Thanks a lot Auriel, you would make a good posty. And I forgot to include Irvine Wynyard in the visitors who is from TLGC.

After a long illness, Bernice left us on the 26th of November 1999. Wahehurst CTC .Col Burt Dear Members, I write this vale with a very heavy heart, the loss of Mr Col Burt was a great shock to myself and all that knew him. He was the epitome of what a true sportsman should be, kind, considerate, unassuming and always the true Gentleman. I have only known Col for approx. 10 years but in that time considered him to be a friend and positive influence to all that met him. Our sport van not afford lose such a fine man ;tz CoI, hut can only hope his influence and memory will live on in those who he touched throughout his long sporting career. 'To hls fam~lyand many fnends, especially hts beloved Tamwonh club, we at Sydney CTC ~ x r e n dour dccpcst sympathy, hc wtll ho sadly mlssed by all Gary Kennerson Sydney CTC Colin Burt It has been our pleasure and pnvilcgc to have known and hcen 3ssociated with a true gentleman, sportsman and dedicated ambassador for the sport of Clay Target shooting in Australia. My first memories of Col began many years ago while attending a New Year shoot a t Caffs Harbour Gun Club. A ~- couole of lone haired surfy lads druve ~ L have C a luuk They were soon talked into having a shot. Col was onc of thcvc lads and he participated in most of the shoot offs and eventually won scvcrnl of the malor events. Col in my opinion was one of the best conches in Austmlia and had n gift for being able to communicate with junior and new shooters. With his easy going attitude and joking manner he could lift a shooters morale and have them achieve their best. On Many occasions I have seen Cul w ~ t ha cur I,ved ofjunlor shuurers on board, driving to major shoots all over Australia. One rnemorable oouaslon was a trip to Darw~n. I a m sure Col eot tremendous iov and satisfaction watchine his pupils comperewand rise to hi&& and highcr achievement.

Jenny, firstly I w ~ s hto express my appreclatlon to you in request~ n gmyself to pcrfurm this very honorable pnwlege Just before I proceed with Colin's Eulogy, I wish, on behalf of Page 20 Jenny and the related families to express their sincere gratitude for your thoughtful and kind representation here today for the Celebration of Colin's life. Burty, although it is difficult far us to accept and deal with the thought of your permanent absence, alternatively we will seek solace and calm from your givings and the indelible pleasant and rewarding memories that you have so naturally instilled within us. Our consoling factor is knowing that yon are now i n the hands of your maker i n the tranquil and beautiful expanse of Heaven where you have been called Home to Rest. Colin would not want his Funeral Service any other way than for you all to extract some further happiness that this may provide. The world has not enough of him in it although we must be extremely thankful for what we have had. Well, it all commenced on 24-8-1952 a t Inverell the 7th precious child and 4th son - named Colin Laurence to Robert and Nita Burt. Inverell High Scholl provided the culmination of Colin's secondary education prior to his joinery apprenticeship to Bill Baker of Mt Russell - which he completed in 1971. A move to Tamworth pmvided him an emolovment undertakine with Dickenson Constructtons allowing him the opponunity to attain his certificate as Iluilding Foreman and Clerk of Works which 1974 ylcldcd for him. His skill, imaginable foresight and workmanship standards i n all facets of building construction was accurately superb with impeccable adherence to detail. His serious shooting skill initialized a t Inverell RShI Gun Club in 1972 and later when he packed his bags to move to Tamworth i t came too. A shoteun was not his first involvement with firearms or the hku. 11was ~wnpowder,which reigned supreme. Whllst still at lnvemll at the ripe old age of23 hc decided to&<vehis then 10 ycar old nephew. Swphun a lesson in evploslves So a 21b tin of gunpowder was emptied down a n ant's nest and he proceeded to throw matches until the entire thing blew up spreading the ant and the ant bed into a n area the size of a tennis court. Anyway, he settled in Tamworth and turned up a t Attunga where the local grounds were situated for his first local shoot - and Graham Wilson - that's Roo Wilson - thought who is this long haired lout - definitely not the polished look that Roo was! Col's blondie colour hair draped to shoulder length but gee could he shoot! He didn't need that second barrel much either - but when he did i t didn't seem to work as well as it should have. We never checked that 2nd tube in that double barrel gun for straightness though. Roo and Col were responsible for the present location of the Tamworth Clay Target Club in excess of some 23 years ago. Col making the major decisions on its position, aspect and building design. With Colin's exceptional construction skills and Graham's father - The late Bill Wilson - donating the sawn timber from his property provided the necessary building materials. The slab was poured in the cold winter month and Colin's extreme concern uf froat damage to the newly poured slab encouraged him to slccp un slt in ;t whut,l barrow wlth a few bags for blankets - so he would be rcadv. to Ilchr - fires to keep rhe frosr off the slab if ncoessary. The bar was not constructed then however 6 packs had just reached vogue. Col never missed a working bee and always doubled the effort of any individual. He also carted the timber for that complex in his utility and about this time he was shortly elevated to Presidential status of the cluh and his self employed business - Centreline Building Constructions had well and truly evolved. The Loomberah range was up and running, it is Skeet Carnival time and the boys have been having some pre shoot practice the dav before. Adrian Cousens arrives in Tamworth for the first time . one thine leads to another and Adrian discloses his fancv of shooting targets from the hip - so Colin is summoned forward nnbeknown to Adrian of Col's harnessed skill within. Burty could shoot 23/25 off the hip on a skeet layout and he was just a s effi- Australian Clay Target Shooting News April 2000 cient a t double rise. Remember, he'd given you that cheesy grin of a scoundrel and his famous words were - "watch this" - closely followed by his peculiar laugh. The duel between Colin and Adrian finishes halfway around the skeet layout on station 4 - Col has a target lead and Adrian states - 7 think you better call him off'. Roo wins the first days championship, Burty wins the next day and High Guns the whole event and the next year Adrian fairly disgraces any opposition and later on becomes Australia's best skeet shot and world chamnion. Some ofyou may not be aware ofthis but Colin was Australia'~No. 1 - h e was Mr. Exception - h e was the very best and unequalled as the nations loudest snorer!! So bad that when Col and Roo were at a Sydney location and were sleeping apart on a verandah - that Roo got so esaperated he tossed his boot a t Burty - there was a slight silence momentarily - then Burty recommences snoring Roo reaches for his other boot and hears "Don't throw that one a t me" a s he pretended to be asleep. At an event in Griffith his snoring was so atrocious his camper van was reverberating. The lads decided i t would be best to relocate i t a further 300 yards away and guess what - Burty didn't miss a beat. It is now 26-10-1985 - a t least he has someone to love and care for him - Burtv marries Jennv Etheridw - she endeavors to form Col into some organizational standard,-however not a thing changes. Her patience still persists and Col would have definitely been overwhelmed with her dedicated effort. He'd forget his lunch. his appointments and his arrangements - but n e v e p ~ l u bshoots'and definitely not the Dog. On 26-4-1988 he gained his level 3 coaching Accreditation and was 1of onlv 4 a t that stage in Australia. He also sewed on the NSW Clay %;get State ~ x G u t i v efor almost 20 years and held various responsible positions including Vice President and Handicapper. He was also the State Coachine Director for 5 vears - not onlv that -there is more Burty was the King of the Kids - Hal and Shirley Burke's daughter Kate - when she was about 16 or 17 - not that far backexpressed how she would like to go to the show - so Col sympathetically volunteered when she stated that she bad nobody to take her. Not much time had elapsed when they both returned. Hal and Shirley - bewildered a t their early arrival and Kate explains - Col got sick on the rides! Well, back home on the range he provided his professional coachs a couple of young boys who are real keen and puts ing s e ~ c e to in countless voluntary hours for a close mates sons. His good mate was Col Barton - but he was always "mongrel" to Burty - but I knew he didn't mean it. The sons of course, Clive and George. His time and dedication eventually pays off as they represent Australia a t International events and enjoy extreme National success also. Further and supplementary to his coaching he seeks local sponsorship to assist Clive with his financial burden towards his overseas success. In 1996 Colin flew to Kuala Lumpur to watch Clive compete in the Commonwealth Games - a trip Burty self subsidized. You know Burty was also a difficult contender on a snooker table -anything that demanded eye movement or any form of alignment he was the master. But Learner Days -they were the best value of the lot. When new shooters showed interest in learning clay target shooting - the Down-The-Line layout would be used and Col would hide totally out of sight around the side of the skeet layout which shared common ground and hit their targets for them - especially if they missed - or even before they fired! With his shooting he had exceptional psychological discipline - he never detracted this focus from the next target procedure. If you would have asked - say through a 25 target trap event how many targets remaining - he would have had to count his shells left to provide the answer. Recently in Wagga he achieved National Champion in Skeet Shooting - he had won titles of most forms of clay target shooting and a t various Zone and State Levels. His trophy room is indicative of his immense talent and his success too numerous to mention. I enjoyed a lot of rifle shooting expeditions with Colin and one night in the spotlight he shot a duck in full flight using his ......... April 2000 - unsighted .22 rifle like a pistol. Some 12 years back I contacted him to see if had a bit of spare time to assist me in the new found art of using a shotgun . He would always down tools or whatever and state - "It wont take us long - or it's not far to the gun club". A thoughtful, considerate and unselfish man - a perfect and true inspiration to mankind - but step well aside if you ever stood on his toes On a more serious note, in the mid 90's Col is diagnosed with cirrdia myopsthy - and in 1996 receives a pacemaker w keep him tired up. Prior u, this he had warning signs when he blacked out one day whilst a t work. It was medically revealed that he was in trouble and options were short on. This new artificial addition never impcdcd his dtivc or dctcrmination, as hard work was never considered a n obstacle. His life obviously was somcwhat lenb~hmcdbut a mab4o wand could nor be waved. From May 1999 he made tremendous structural improvement and additions to the ACTANational Shooting Ground a t Wagga. Ahrief return to Tamwortb for a break caught him up on accumulated odd jobs a t home and then he returned to Wagga on 9th February for another final stint - which was to last about 2 months. Rcgrettably someone supcnor decided that he was needed elsewhere for a well earned rest as he had put the equivalent of nearly 96 ycars in down here and given his all. Please be thankful for the fulfillment he has provided, how he has sewed, the various ways he has successfully achieved, the lessons we have so generously learnt, the laughter we have shared with his humorous and jovial interaction with us during his existence. From all of us Col, Good Luck, Gad Bless and Farewell on your new journey - you are 110 out of 100 - you could never be duplicated - your memories will be forever immortalized - our lives have been so much more enriched by your being. Thanks mate for what we have all received - and Dear Lord, because he is so special could you please take good care of him for US. STATE NOTES NSW Dept Sport & Reo A WEB SITE!

Yours sincerely GeoffKidd Dear Editor Thank you for the series of articles published under the heading "Cuzzo's Ramblings". I'm sure that like myself many readers find Adrian Cousen's uncommon sense and thought provoking style of writing both enlightening and refreshing.

I agree with Mr Crema, that the Targets thrown a t State and National Championships should be of suitable or best quality, and not just what can be brought at the cheapest price. No one in business just blindly accepts the cheapest quote.

Before I go on lets name these machine a t Wagga. They are t h e Gemini Clay Target throwers, and by naming the place, (as most shooters know what is installed a t Wagga) the letter and the article have identified t h e machines and their statements are directed toward one product only, so lets stop kidding yourself. Cuzzo's Ramblings in the December 99 Clay Target Magazine. None of the statements, assumptions and conclusions drawn by the author or anyone else in t h e article with respect to the throwers has any bases of fact. I n the way the article describes these machines the reader is entitled to come to t h e conclusion that the Gemini machined used a t Wagga are totally unsuitable for the purpose that they were designed for. The article serves only one purpose. I t gives support to all the unsubstantiated existing rumors and creates some new ones about the Gemini throwers. I n order to limit the amount of damage (and the phone calls tell me so), that the article has and will cause in the future, I have no option but to reply with a factual lengthy detailed article in the next Issue. Because of the details required I will be forced to disclose factual propriety information t h a t was never intended for public consumption, a s a result, other manufacturers will gain valuable information a s to what makes the Gemini machine tick. I n paragraph 6 & 7 with reference to pick-ups the author continues a s he started, jumping to conclusions without any facts. I n order to draw any valid conclusion h e needs to know the answers to all the following questions: Total energy required breaking a target? Distance from the gun to where the target was hit? Velocity of the shell being used and the choke of the gun? Shot size being used? Angle of the shot pellets relative to the target were the marks made? Which side of the spinning target were these marks made? Unless he can walk on water, (in Wagga I observed him wearing gum boots, just a bit of insurance I hear you say), there is no possible way to know the answer to any one of the above questions. I n coming to these non-factual conclusions be maligns a perfectly good product. What was the intention of his article? Reading between the lines of the article he seems to suggest (and I may be wrong), t h a t a shooter that places 3-4 stray pellets on a target out of a possible no of 365 (28gr. load) deserves to receive a score of (one) for that effort. Finally I wish AA's like Bill Iles could teach all of u s average shooters, how to put the pattern in the middle, the subject of throwers and hard targets would never arise. Kind regards Ludwig Kohler L.K Precision Eng PIL. ~ ~ JAMES MIATT MFG PO Box 1868, Launceston, Tas 7250 Page 24 ~ The main event for the day was the Championship Event, event three, 25 targets points score. At the completion of squad shooting, three shooters were required back on the walks for a shoot off afcer posting 74/75. After a short shoot off, part time shooter Dave Reynolds was victorious after hitting his last target with a very skinny second barrel. The other shooters not able to stay with Dave were Craig Morris and Karl Nasarenko. Event three produced the best shooting for the day. Four 49/50 scores were posted requiring a three way shoot off to determine the AA grade winner. Phil Grove dropped out a t the 88th target leaving Wawe Murray and Quinto Porfiri to continue on. Another 40 odd targets were required before Quinto missed his 132nd target leaving Wayne Murray the AA grade title. Three scores of 48/50 were recorded in Agrade requiring a shoot off to determine second in this grade. Terry Crowson dropped out first followed by Frank Robinson (Mundubbera) one target later leaving Kev Howard the spoils. For a change, the Overall High Gun was not won by Quinto Porfi~i but by a regular visitor to the club, Karl Nasarenko from Caboolture. Karl's shooting appears to improve when he is not busy assisting in the office. Wes Humphreys shot well to take out the AA grade high gun.

Australian Clay Target Shooting News April 2000 I'm a great believer in the old adage "tell it like you see it". I try hard to live by that rule and I f i d y believe the world would be a better place if everyone else did the sarhe. However, although it. vew liberal with v o w constructive criticism. . .nllowa -. - <v-n-13 to - -b - -. and to dish out plenty of stick to thdse you believe are wrong, it unfortunately requires you to come clean when you're the one who's in error. So this month, for a nice change, instead of examining areas wherc I think other people are wrong, I want to focus on some aress where I hsvc recently been proven incorrect. Let's stan with my oscillator theory on Trap Machines. - Back in last December's magazine, I elaborated nt length on several ideas that Marc McInnes and I hod in trying to explain the lowness of the scores at the NSW Trap Carnival. One suggestion was that the recent change frim manually load& White Flyer machines to automatic Geminis may have caused an adverse change in the ratio of swineers to straight awav targets. I theorized that changing the dGve angle ofihe osciilator mechanism from 180 degrees on the White Flyer to 270 degrees on the Gemini might produce this effect. Guess what? Nice try Cuzzo, but not even close! Ludwig Kohler, the manufacturer of Gemini Trap Machines, phoned me one night after the article was published to discuss this and several other matters with me. He very politely and patiently explained the whole situation to me in layman's terms so that I could understand it. My first error was not in the observance of the Gemini throwing more swingers than sh-aight-aways, but in not realizing that I have been watching White Flyers do exactly the same thing for years without noticing it. My second error was in theorizing that changing thc oscillator drive angle could alter this effect, which it clearly can't. I am now totally connnced that all machines that derive their oscillation from a random circular crank mechanism, which both White Flyer and Gemini do, will produce an identical pattern spread of targets. Furthermore he explained why he elected to utilize an oscillation system driven by a separate intermittent motor and precisely how that system worked. That understanding has also totally convinced me that Leni Crema's theory on the adverse affect of Ludwig's intermittent oscillator is as erroneous as my own, and that the Gemini system will produce exactly the same target pattern as the continuous oscillator on a White Flyer. However, the advantage of Ludwig's system is that it makes the trap theoretically unreadable, which is not necessarily the case with a White Flyer, particularly if the interrupter is disconnected, as most of them are, due to being mechanically troublesome. It's now also clear that changing the arm drive from a coil spring to a leaf spring can have no affect on the target once it leaves the arm, and as the trajectory is fixed by the rulebook, launch velocity variations appear to be out as well. So the only other obvious area where the change in machines could affect the competitor's ability to break the targets is a potential difference in the spin rate generated by each individual macbine design. Ludwig claims that his machine imparts a rotation speed on the target which is very similar to that of the White Flyer, and that he is in the process of documenting quantitative evidence to support that claim. Given that fact, the only other major area I can see which would affect scores is target "hardness" or breakability. I personally think this is most of the problem and as I said back in December. I believe it stems from our decision to trv to shoot T r~~r a~ and skeet which are >~ iust too iob - ~ ~with - - tareets ~ ~~- hard For the ~"~ at hand. Anyone who h i s been to either the Grand American Trapshoot or the World Skeet Championships will attest to the facc that the targets they shoot over there are much softer and easier to "puff up" than those whch we shoot here in Australia. Mast first time visitors to the U.S. spend the first couple ofdays ~~~~~~ wondering how their chokes got so much tighter on the fight over. The obvious answer is to revert back to "softer"targets here in Australia. However, such a solution is fraught with other dangers and may not provide an instant trouble-free "quick Ex", except perhaps where manually loaded White Flyers are used. Because our Traps have enjoyed the luxury of hard targets for so long, even the more sophisticated hopper-fed machines, which lower the target onto the throwing arm with a lifter plate, may need some fine tuning to accommodate softer targets. And some of the more cost effective macbine designs, which drop the target onto the arm. mav be even more difficult to adapt 6 ~ m e r i c a nstyle targets I had a first hand experience with this problem recently at Tamworth's Annual Two-Day Skeet Shoot. They decided to use a batch of Olimpyc's new "improved" targets at the shoot and the machine breakage rate was definitely above par. However it was not bad enough to spoil a great shoot and I'm sure that with some maintenance work on the traps, they'll soon get that problem under control. The flip side though was better scores, bigger shoot-offs and longer breaks. Many people recorded personal bests, at least three 200 breaks were shot and the National Skeet Long Run Record finally tumbled after almost 15 years. And not a ventilated pick-up was to be found. Well done Tamworth Gun Club! They now hold the National Record in both Trap and Skeet. And my personal congratulations to Olimpyc. They clearly had some serious quality control problems recently, resulting in some very hard targets, but they certainly seem to be making up for it now. I spoke to Alan Kenny some time ago about controlling target quality and he believes we need to develop a target quality specification and then devise a method of testing targets to meet that standard. I couldn't agree more. I also spoke to Bill Jones and his thinking is very similar to Alan's. Bill suggested that our rulebook should not only dictate the physical dimensions of the target but could also include a relative density standard and/or some sort of measurable crush test. I'm told the ISU rulebook originally had a type of target crush test where a specific weight was dropped from a certain height onto the target. Although workable, such a method seems a bit crude and would have only provided a "go-no go" type of result. A much more quantitative measurement would seem to be easily and economically attainable. After a little tinkering I have devised a simple portable crusher where the force is applied to the dome of the target by a hydraulic jack and a spring damper. The applied force can then be measured by either a pressure gauge on the jack, or a linear indicator on the spring. During the developmental stage ofthe design process I came up with another of my theoretical brainwaves that turned out to be a fizzer in prilutiuc. I figured that a more realistic simulation ofthe breaking force ofthe pellets could be achieved by putting four rounded prongs the same diameter as a #7 pellet on the end of the crusher. Unfortunately they simply punched neat holes through the target and thus emphasized once again the important pnn that centrifugal force plays in the breaking of a clay target. Plcase give this whole matter some thought and feei freeto contact me if you have any suggestions. ~ e & e e n the whole twelve odd thousand of us, surely we should be able to come up with some sort of simple viable testing standard. ~~ ~~ April 2000 Enough technical stuff, Ict's get back to my blunder.?. Haw about Decembers STQ. Who was the last lcfi handed shooter to win the National Double Barrel? Well now I can tell you who it wasn't. It wasn't Gary McDonald! How do I know thnt? Because hnlfthe shooters in the Northcrn Territory hove called up to set Australian Clay Target Shooting News Page 27 me straight. So how could I possibly have made such a faux pas? Well, I considered thinking up a good story to explain it away, but eventually I decided to go with the truth, no matter how much I hate it, so here it is. When I originally typed out the question, it had just popped into my head and I had no idea who the answer was. I guess I figured that later on I would glance down the list of previous winners and work it out. because I was Drettv sure that I would recognize each name well enough to be 'able io bring the person to mind. However when everyone that responded suggcstcd it was Gary, I fell in, hook line and dinker Anyway, now I'm going to have to makc amends. Gary Mcl)onnld alrcndy has his prize, and he's too big to get it back from, so that's out. Fortunately I still have a couple of unclaimed prizes left over from last years budget. For a start we had better give one to Victor Fertiklis from Darwin, because h e really did outshoot all the big boys in the Double Barrel down in Tassie a few years back and unfortunately for me, h e is a molly-duker. Why couldn't his mother have cracked him over the knuckles a t a tender age and made him carry his Teddy i n the other hand. And while we're a t it, we'd better give another one to the much traveled Gary Quan Sing, because he was the first one to ring me up and inform me of my error. Congratulations boys and I hope to see all three of you in Wagga i n a couple of weeks, shooting the National Double Barrel a t my expense. Vale. The 2000 Skeet Nationals will see the second consecutive occasion when the reigning National Skeet Champion will be unable to defend his title. It will also mark the second consecutive year that I have suffered the painful loss of a very near and dear friend. Col Burt was one of the nicest blokes I ever met, in or out of shooting. He conformed to the dictionary's definition of a gentleman and to my definition of a true sportsman: humble in victory and gracious in defeat. He was a great shooter, a great competitor, a great friend and a wonderful ambassador for our sport. He dedicated the last year of his life to building a magnificent facility for all of us to enjoy a t the National Shooting Ground, and I a m hopeful that our organization will see fit to honour that achievement in some wav. The shootine world will miss him. The world in gcncrnl will miss him. I miss him already. And in closing 1 must also add my condolences to Mark McInnc.~,who lost his wife Kim the same week we lost Col. - This month's Shooting Trivla Question.

ISSF Elite.Junior Development Camp On Friday 21st J a n u a j , 2000 we assembled Juniors from Victoria, South Australia, New South Wales a n Queensland, some 22 in all, with coach John Maxwell and me a s the Camp Manager, a t a training camp which was held inconjunction with the Australia Cup a t Cecil Park Gun Club. Our accommodation for the weekend was a t the Hunt's Motel complex a t Liverpool and our transport was a 12 seater bus and some private cars, this proved 'oh-so-squeezy' both to and from the airport with all of our luggage. The accommodation and recreation area which included a swimming pool and tennis courts was quite good and I had a n apartment near the pool where we could do our breakfast cooking for those who wanted it in the mornings. We also had the use of quite a large barbecue that the motel loaned to us and some extra bowls and dishes where we had a barbecue both Friday and Saturday nights and I must thank Dot Trindall, Maria Rahman, Sophia Psarakis and Susie Trindall for making up all of the salads, cutting up rock and water melons, etc, etc, and to Andy Sanders for cooking the barbecue on Friday night. These two evenings were quite special where we even utilized the rubbish bin for eskies and I believe everyone enjoyed themselves whether swimming or playing tennis till it was 'lights out'' time a t around 11 o'clock each night. The vcnuc for the Training Camp was the Sydney International Shooting Ground (Cecil Park Gun Club) where wcjoined in with the Senior Australian Tralninr! Squad and the Olvmvic . . Shadow Team who were competing in Ehekustralia Cup. The reason that we had combined the two events was to enable John and I to observe the Juniors i n a friendly competitive atmosphere and I believe that the Juniors themselves could learn by shooting alongside and observing the likes of Michael Diamond, Russell Mark and Deserie Waktield-Baynes, some of the best shooters in the world, seeing how they prepare themselves, their stance and how/where they held their guns. Watching is learning. Most of the Juniors shot both Trap and Double Trap so we could see which discipline they may be best a t whole. Those who shot Skeet mixed in with the Australian Team and the shooters from the Netherlands who had come out to do some training with us. John worked tirelessly throughout the 3 days on multiple coaching and one-to-one coaching and maybe we did not get a s much done a s we would have liked, one thing that I learned was that we will need more Coaches and helpers a t future camps. All of the participants were given a commemorative polo shirt and a book on the history of the A.C.T.A. to those who wanted one. At the completion of the event on Sunday afternoon, John and I named the 10 person Team that we selected to go to the New Zealand ISSF National titles. This team wai not necessarily selected from the scores that were shot during the camp but those Juniors whom we believed would get the most benefit out of a competition of this nature. John and I could not fault the behavior or the wllin~mrssto learn uf any of the J u n l o r ~and while thc A.C.1:A. has young shootcrs of this caliber comlna through the ranks. I believe the future of clay target shooting% looking very bright. I wish to take this opportunity to thank the A.C.TA. for sponsoring this event and especially the Shooting committee and Bill Jones of the Financc Committee for making all of this possible. John and I would like to see all of the Juniors from this first camp, participate a t another camp, in the near future. Graham Miehell -~-~.. ~ Late results MAY NOT be published.

'We will continue to discuss these issues with the IOC and the WADA!' In the declarations from the Summit, the governmknts agreed, in the interests of all athletes and youth, to work with WADA to p"SUe a n effective, world-wide concerted campaign against drug abuse in sport. As well, long-term educative strategies will be developed based on sociological research and targeted a t all levels Of sport. Sports drug testing laboratories should be accredited by a n independent agency and accreditation standards will assess laboratories on the basis of their scientific capability, quality management and ethical standards. The delegates agreed this function should be the responsibility of the WADA. These moves are expected to intensify and co-ordinate the fight against drug cheats to levels - and bring in a hard-hitting systematic approach - never seen before. nvo top Australian athletes attended the Sydney Summit, rowing .%old Olympian, Kate Slatter and St. George - Illawarra star hooker, Nathan Brown. "Everybody in the sporting world I've spoken to is right behind the nations' pro-active stance," Kate Slatter said. "There have been too many drug-related scandals in sport and all the countries of the world have to pull together; we all have to make sure the determination shown a t the Sydney Summit is carried through into action," she stressed. "Drugs are a huge problem in the general community as well; sporting people are a role model for young people and must show the way by example." Kate, from ~ d e l a i d eand in training a t the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra, represented Australia a t the Barcelona and Atlanta Olympics. -1 hope to be able to bc proud to represent my country at a tawlly drug-frec Olympics in the year 2000 and it's b ~ c a to t see Australia at the forefront of the effort to stamo out the druc users: we all want to be harder, faster and better n; our sports --but on'a level, drug-free playing field. 'Thc bcsr-practice organisarional structures and protocols I saw being put i n place at thc Sydney Summit will ensure that all the world's Olympians will respect the rules and abide by them. 'The Sydney Olympics will be the best ever fur world span and for clrnn competition free from the stigma and shame of drug abuse the ktds out there deserve nothing less." Kace said. Australia has put drug cheats planning to attend the Sydney 2000 Games on notice. Top scientists are being enlisted to fine tune the most sophisticated methods ever devised to detect drug cheats. 1, the of the dopers, their drug-induced performancehas depended increasingly on synthetic EPO (erythropoietin) which works by increasing the number of red blood cells, lifting oxygen levels to boost performance. Often used in plasma replacing the bodys entire blood supply, synthetic EPO has taken doping techniques to new heights and has been difficult to detect, but with the attention of the world on the Sydney Olympics, all the forces of legitimate science are being marshalled to try to ensure the Sydney Games are clean. During the summit Minister Kelly pledged Australia rvould provide $1.5 million to validate a way to test for EPO, subject to the IOC accepting a n Australian submission for funding support. The IOC subsequently announced its support for the Australian research project on 9 December. Minister Kelly told the summit that researchers from the Australian Institute of Sport and the Australian Sports Drug Testing Australian Clay Target Shooting News Page 29 Key nations representing all regions of the world have come together i n a n unprecedented move to get drugs out of sport. Governments have demonstrated their pivotal role in ensuring all athletes compete on the level playingfield of natural ability in the lead up to the Sydney 2000 Games and into the new millennium. The latest moves flow fmm the International Drugs in Sport Summit held recently in Sydney and initiated by Australia. ~h~ sydney c o m m u ~ q u issued e after the conference showed the determination to root the dopers: the 25 nations represented at the summit advocated a system of 'cinternationally applicable and equivalent sanctions across all sports, such as a two-year minimum ban for first-time offenders". ~h~~ committed to establishing national drug testing including year round, no notice, out-of-competition testing. Delegates also stressed that athletes' rights would be protected throughout the sample collection, analysis and result management process, with the right of appeal and arbitration. other moves, the rights of athletes would be protected by promoting the ethics of dooine-free - soort. They agreed drug testing will be conducted in accordance with internationally accepted procedural standards, specifically the International Standard for D a ~ i n aControl. Policies will include an independent system for prior approval to use substances from n predetermined list >r.lte~r there are genuine therapcurie reasons and no thrrapcutic :~lt~.rnar~vcs, and such usc is permitted by the rules of rhc nrhlctc's sport As a result of the Sydney Summit nations are also expected to boost their border controls to help stop the traffic in anabolic steroids and performance-enhancing hormone preparations and will review penalties for trafficking in anabolic steriods to ensure they adequately reflect the governments'strong anti-doping policy. Governments will also review processes to enhance the-flow of intelligence information between regulatory and enforcement agencies and anti-doping agencies. The delegates - ameed - that urioritv must be eiven to research into detecting endogenous subsrencui such as growth hormone and E1'0, and that rcscnrchers must increase levels ofcanperation, collaboratlon and inforrnatwn sharing. Educntwn programs for athlcres will be stepped up and there will be an lncrease in the nunher of bilatcr:~land mulr~lntrrnldrug testing agreements. The summit also addressed the issue of the World Anti Doping Agency recently established by the Intcl'nnrlonal Olympic Cornmitter (IOC.. Australia's Minister for Sport 2nd Tourism, Jackie Kelly, pointed out that before the Sydneqsummit, there was no agreemen? about how a world anti-doping agency could truly enforce "pure performance" in sport on a global basis. "Thanks to the pressure from world governments a t this summit a new standard has been set for the effective operation of the world anti-doping agency," the Minister said. In a n unprecedented show of international co-operation, all nations represented unanimously agreed to boost the accountability, transparency, independence and global representation of the new World Anti-Doping Agency. ~h~ summit agreed to set up a consultative drawn from the governments of the world to ensure that the commitments made a t the summit are carried through. The group will also work with WADA to ensure that i t has equitable geographic representation on its board. The WADA board of members will be selected from public authorities from all geographic regions. The consultative group will also make recommendations on several other issues raised regarding WADA, such as its location, governance and decision-making processes. A . Apzil 2000 - Laboratory have found "foolproof and demonstrable scientific bases" for detecting synthetic EPO in blood samples. The joint IOCIAustralian Government funding will help researchers to undertake "validation studies" during the next six to nine months to ensure the EPO test is "reliable and robust". The Australian study will be done in collahoration with scientists fmm France, Canada and Norway and with sports institutes and authorities from China, France, Italy and the United States. The IOC has already given its approval for blood samples to be taken from athletes competing in in Sydney for the Olympics. If a reliahle method for detecting EPO is determined samples will be collected to detect use. If it is not found, the samples will be taken from athletes on a voluntary basis and used for research. Minister Kelly said the IOC decision to support the Australian research project gives us a critical boast in our efforts to try to develop a foolproof test in time for the Sydney 2000 Games. '"The IOG's support sends a very loud and very welcome message that it is a s determined as we are to keep sport drugs free," she said. Top Australian and rvorld athletes have thrown their support behind these unprecedented international efforts to get prohibited performance-enhancing drugs out of sport. In Minister Kelly's words, everything possible is being done to ensure the Sydney Olympics will he "pure performance". '3nhancing drug detection research to keep up with, and where possible keep ahead of, the latest doping practices is a key part of the Australian Government's Tough on Drugs in Sport strategy. "We're totally committed to getting .drugs . and drug .cheats out of sport," the Minister stressed; World sporting and government leaders agree the International Drugs in Sport Summit in Sydney has made a level of progress never seen before by achieving a global breakthrough in the war against drug cheats. Their deliberations will result in the hroadest range of obstacles ever faced by sport dopers. High quality national drug testing programs will be set up in conjunction with national sporting organisations and drug testing resources will be applied strategically world-wide to maximise the attack on problem areas. "Australia's Tough on Drugs in Sport Strategy is all about doing the right thing by our kids; it's all about showing them the right way," Minister Kelly said. "Hosting the summit has demonstrated Australia's commitment to drug-free sport and recognises our position a s a world leader on anti-doping issues. "I am delighted it resulted in other governments committing themselves to estahlish comprehensive national anti-doping programs that are modelled on the Australian approach set out in our Tough on Drugs in Sport strategy "This includes strategies for government action in a range of areas including policy, protection of athletes' rights, sanctions, drug testing, education and information services, research, supply, control and international collaboration. "It proves that goucrnmcnts rhe world over have a strong role to play in the fight against drugs i n sport." MorningGon C l a y Target Club Inc lOOT Sonnv Cross Memorial Shoot - 8th Januarv 2000 Page 30 Australian Clay Target Shooting News April 2000 Behold the shooter (from a shooter News possibly in the 60s) The photo shown turned up when going through my late husband Scotty Gibson's papers. It was taken at the Perth Nationals in 1980 and the story as I remember may be of interest to readers. Doug Smith, a winner of many Championships, and Russell Mark a t that time was still a Junior, were in a shoot off for the Double Barrel Championship. Doug was using factory loaded shells given to him to use. As the shoot off progressed, these shells produced a third missfired and the result 'lost target" from the Referee was as per the rule:-a rule that was introduced when home-loaders' shells were frequently producing misfires...due to the lack of precision and care in putting together their home-loads! The rule did not differentiate between home load and factory load. He spends much time, energy and income attempting to do something that he already knows is well nigh impossible. He clutters up the home with such oddments as guns, cleaning gear, gun cases, loaded and unloaded shells, every conceivable piece of reloading equipment, rags, oils, shooting jackets, badges and patches, to say nothing of books newspaper cuttings and magazines - all about guns and shooting. He goeth to shoots full of enthusiasm and hope, spends more than he can afford, and brings home either nothing or a t best a trophy that his wife and family have no use for. He sometimes takes his wife and family to a shoot, then sets about ignoring them while discussing with other fanatics such interesting subjects as loads, swing, breaks, lost birds, chokes, high combs and patterns. There is no hope for this person, as invariably he threatens to 'give it away' and systematically sets about repurchasing another gun and more gear (by this time it has all advanced in price), and from then on, much more shooting occurs and more strife on the home front. When he finally enters Heaven???? his password to St Peter will probably be "Pull". -Gunsmoke WifeThis would still be apt today, I'd say. Are there others with tales to tell? (Scotty in the 60's diddo!!) The oval oak dining table with four holes bored into i t to take the reloader of the day!!! The wooden clothes horse with a large sheet of brown paper pinned to i t used ....to pattern the gun!!!! Is it still full of holes and no doubt lead shot!!!! Nancy Gibson The decision created consternation amongst some of the of'fcials. Pressure was put on the Shoot Marshall, Tim Catling, to bend the rules for this important Championship. Even Russell's Dad expressed dismay that Russell should win such a technicality, however the final decision was as per the rule. Doug who accepted the decision without question did comment to Tim, "this decision would be tough on one who had never won a major trophy".
