The Ladies National DTL High Gun shot this discipline for the first time and raised plenty of interest as her scores improved with each round. First up was a 50Tgt Cash Divide to warm up the eyes and the barrels, with some good scores posted. Many thanks must go to the hard working members of the Brisbane Gun Club who ran the carnival without a hitch. Special mention to the adorable Thelma Meadows, it’s hard to decide whether your beautiful lunches or smile was the best feature of the weekend. Thanks also to the many travellers to the Zone who made the shoot all the more enjoyable. AA 1st Jar Smaniotto 44/50 2nd Lil Brandt. A 1st Ivan Litvinov 45/50 2nd Daniel Johnson.

Adequate shelter and several heaters provided warmth for the shooters and visitors. Plenty of hot food was available throughout the days to warm from the inside. A different format was trialed this year, splitting the Narromine 100 over two days, with additional events. It was well received with shooters from as far as Urunga, & Sydney to Cobar attending. Both days started off with a 30 Target Medley off 15m with cash divide prizes, before moving into the respective two quarters of the Narromine 100 Target Double Barrel Handicap.

Gleniss brought the Junior team directly to Lonato whilst the seniors flew up from the Rome World Cup. Both groups had their dramas getting there. The Juniors missed their connection in Frankfurt and had to wait six hours for another, and as is the case these days two guns did not arrive leaving Gleniss and two Juniors to wait at the airport till 7:30pm for them to arrive on a later flight. They finally arrived at the hotel at 10:00pm, nearly 40 hours after leaving home. Australian Junior Team at the World Championships Garda. We had previously stayed at the Benaco and whilst basic was clean and close to restaurants albeit a one kilometre walk down a steep hill to the centre of town. Walking down, no problems. Walking back up the hill on a full stomach, was another story. The seniors only had a 45 minute flight, so how hard can that be I hear you say. When flying with Alitalia, damn hard. They charged us 30 Euro ($55) for each gun to be put through security for the flight to Verona airport. Fair enough, security comes at a price. Then when we get to Verona, they stiff us for another 20 Euro ($35) per gun to get them out of security ...... only in Italy. Lonato is the centre of the shooting world as far as passion for the sport and facilities go. It has a great range made up of 7 trap fields and 5 skeet fields with 3 superimposed. It has as a backdrop made up of a 25m high mound at the 100m mark. The mound is covered with green shade cloth and with the grass between the bunker and the mound makes for one of the best backgrounds anywhere. The machines used are the Italian Serena’s. Our hotel was the Benaco in Desanzano a beautiful town on the shores of Lake del As the entries for this World Championships were also large the trap and skeet was to be contested over 3 days instead of 2.

This kid has just won in Korea, second in Rome and now won the Open World Championship, not a bad effort from three starts. He is certainly the talk of the shooting world at the moment. Both the Barton boys were in the mix after the first day but then faded out of contention. Whilst the new reverse double rule on station four has lowered the averages slightly, it hasn’t taken the top shooters long to work it out. The occasion got the better of the Juniors and while they didn’t perform as well as we know they can, they gave it their best shot. This is the youngest team we have ever taken to the Worlds with one being 14, two 16 and the rest under 19. They all have time left in the Junior ranks and as long as they learn and benefit from the experience it will hold them in good stead for the future. 1. Fabbrizi M ITA 121 + 23 = 144 2.

Apparently if you were flying with any airline other than Alitalia that would be true. The bottom line is they wanted to charge us 150 Euro ($280) excess for each gun, multiply by 16 guns..... After 2 hours of arguing we checked the guns to Frankfurt only, collected them there, rechecked them and got away without paying any excess. The Italians shot exceptionally well to have all three in the final. Tom performed consistently to be only one target out of the final, and the team shot well enough to take the team silver.

A change of program for the Skeet Nationals saw Saturday 12th November free of competition and with no Pre National program the NSWCTA saw the opportunity to promote Skeet with the commencement of two new Small Gauge Championships. POSITION VACANT Applications are invited from qualified for 20 REFEREE POSITIONS at the 7 t h Wo r l d D T L C h a m p i o n s h i p s 7th to 9th April 2006 I n t e r e s t e d p e rs o n s s h o u l d a p p ly t o : E xe c u t i v e O f f i c e r PO Box 466, Wag ga Wag ga, NSW 2650 A High Gun over the 200 Targets has been sponsored by Mialls Gun Shop Frankston. The trophy donated is a full set of Briley Side Kicks with 410, 28, & 20 Gauge. This is a tremendous trophy and should increase interest in the event. Winchester has agreed to sponsor the two NSW Championships and Winchester Small Gauge Ammunition will be used as trophies for both championships. Winchester Small Gauge ammunition will be available at the ground. Shooters who don’t have small gauge guns will have the opportunity to compete in these events as a pool of guns will be available for shooters to use. TRAP REFEREES These are paid positions A 28 Gauge and 410 Gauge NSW State Championship both of 50 Targets will be shot on Saturday 12th, to follow on the Sunday 13th will be the 7th National 20 Gauge Skeet Championship of 100 Targets. This gives Skeet shooters the chance to shoot 200 Small Gauge targets over the two day weekend. If you require the use of these guns please contact David Coleman on 0417 929 131 or 02 6931 4454 to make a booking. If you have small gauge guns you are prepared to add to the pool also make contact.

Page 12 Australian Clay Target Shooting News October 2005 Front Pages OCT2005 31/8/05 11:53 AM Page 13 Northern Zone QCTA ISSF Championships On the weekend of 25th and 26th June the Cairns Target Shooting Club hosted the Northern Zone ISSF Championships. It was decided to forgo the usual Double Trap Championship in favour of an increased Trap and Skeet programme of 175 targets plus Final. The response to this was positive for the Trap, attracting 24 shooters from 11 clubs. Unfortunately, as always the Skeet had less competitors, and the event was completed, minus the Final, with only four shooters. Host club member Jar Smaniotto sought sponsorship for the event, and thanks to the generosity of Nimmo Bruce Firearms Specialist, Peter Nuebecker Electrical, Battery World, Exact Crash Repairs, Jar’s Tiling Service, Dexter Barnes, Clay Targets Australia and Remington Shot Shells the Northern Zone was able to offer sizable prize money and trophies for the Trap event for the first time. The Skeet event was completed on the Back Row (L-R): Northern Zone President Wayne Reeves (3rd), Lui Poplin (C), Bruce Murphy (A), Jar Smaniotto (O/A), Derek Bruce (AA), Andrew Carr (B) and sponsor Dexter Barnes. Front Row(L-R): Cherie Reeves (Skeet O/A), Michelle Beecham (Women’s Trap), Adin Richardson (Junior Trap) and Nimmo Bruce (Veteran’s Trap). Saturday, with Overall going to Cherie Reeves of Normanton, second to Steve McDowall, Cairns, third to Pat Dury, Townsville, and fourth to Henry Haythorpe also of Townville. The Trap event was a little more fiercely contested, with Jar Smaniotto emerging victorious from the single barrel Final, with a total score of 181-200, followed closely by Dexter Barnes, of Frankston Australian Gun Club on 178-200, having closed the gap by shooting an impressive 22 in the Final, just edging out Wayne Reeves, Normanton on 176-200. AA Grade went to Derek Bruce, Cairns, A Grade to Bruce Murphy, Townsville, B Grade to Andrew Carr, Cairns, and C Grade to Lui Poplin, Burdekin Clay Target Club. The Women’s section was won by Michelle Beecham, Frankston Australian Gun Club. The Junior section went to Adin Richardson, Gold Coast Clay Target Club, and Nimmo Bruce, Cairns took out the Veteran’s. A big Thank You must go the Cairns Target Shooting Club for hosting the event, the sponsors and visitors for making it a success, volunteer refs and scorers, and everyone who helped in any way.

Dear Your Say, I agree wholeheartedly with Peter McDonald’s letter in August news re $10 levy. I have heard many shooters say they are thinking of leaving the ACTA for Field and Game or even taking on another sport, some I know have already done this. As you say Peter, if the elite few want bigger prize value, let them dig deeper, don’t penalise the majority. After all, this is a sport or is it? What with all the grade manipulating, I wonder. I have been a registered shooter since 1963 and have competed at many clubs throughout the states. I’ve seen many changes, some I’ve agreed with and some not, but this, penalising every shooter for a few is just not on. Seems like a case of too many chiefs and not enough Indians. Alf James. Member No 3572 Editors Note: Please refer to September CTSN for reply. I am responding to letters’ in the recent Shooters News concerning our SPORT. Firstly to D/B events and Long Shoot offs’ It may be OK at State and National level, but for small clubs that sometimes do not draw a lot of squads, it seems a little ludicrous to go to 200-300 or better to win a 25 Target event. When clubs are drawing up the yearly program, I think committees should put more thought into single barrel and point events. After all P/S is D/B anyway, and more satisfying. Proving themselves the best in the business: TRAPMASTER singles/doubles holds 600 targets - perfect target presentation. CONTINENTAL OPTION AVAILABLE CRUSADER single - as used in the 2002 World DTL Champs - low base or compact - full windage adjustment - easy to install and operate. DTL, ISSF, CONTINENTAL, BALL TRAP & SKEET OPTIONS All with remote safety, unreadable interrupt, sleep mode, target and cycle counter.

On the eye and ear protection being optional, any one in our sport should make that a priority. We only have two of each. Now, all that has to be done is put the Angles and Distance Targets, back to what they where, and stop BUGGERISING around with our sport. Merve McNight Member # 32133 Dear Your Say I have a simple question to which I would like an honest answer. There are 5 Clubs in the Sydney metropolitan area which in the 1998 financial year had approx 2000 registered ACTA members which at the time contributed directly and indirectly $30,000 to the State Ass and $10,000 to the Zone. I believe that membership has fallen in recent years but I estimate that in the last 7 years at least $150,000 to $200,000 has been contributed correct me if I am wrong. The answer I am seeking is how that money was spent. I have certainly not seen any benefit to my Club. Leni Crema Member No. 1637 Australian Clay Target Shooting News October 2005 Front Pages OCT2005 31/8/05 9:09 AM Page 15 Dear Your Say, Further to the very valid points made by K Calder (Sept issue) regarding prolonged trap shoot offs, I would like to make the following comments. Firstly, remember much has been done recently to make D.T.L. targets much more shootable and this has in fact created the problem with which we are now faced. Therefore, why not remove the problem by reverting to the previous rules of widening the angles and throwing the target fifty metres? I would be most surprised if there was not a significant decrease in the number of possibles shot and a similar decrease in “long breaks”. Long term, we may even produce better shooters. Another couple of changes for consideration would be to shoot more Continental (possibly points score) and Handicap (meterage) events. Don’t forget that in order for clubs to have funds to buy targets for these extended shoot offs, someone has to pay, so as long as this trend continues so will the probability of increases in club fees or nominations. REPLACEMENT CHOKES BY All chokes are machined from high tensile stainless steel in the U.K. and are manufactured on state-ofthe-art CNC machinery, inspected to exacting tolerances based on the synchronized precise bore size of the gun and modern manufacturing techniques (ISO 9002). This provides the renowned Teag u e precision quality product. As most of us consider ourselves as sportsmen and women and hopefully don’t want something for nothing, then those participating in these lengthy shoot-offs would possibly be prepared to reimburse the club for the cost of targets used, if asked. Jim Boyes Member No 813 Dear Your Say I read with interest the letter from Peter McDonald in the August journal re a proposed $10.00 levy by the VCTA. I agree with his objection as here in NSW the levy collected by the NSWCTA benefits only 5% of NSW shooters. The levy has been collected since 1999 and not a cent has trickled through to benefit my club. I would suggest that the legality of the proposed levy be questioned.

October 2005 Australian Clay Target Shooting News Page 49 Front Pages OCT2005 31/8/05 9:10 AM Page 50 Psychological Skills for Shooting by Michael Kruger-Davis INNER EXCELLENCE What are the characteristics for us developing inner excellence? Not all of us can be champions but we can all achieve inner excellence. According to Mack & Casstevens (2001) inner excellence is a way of thinking and a way of acting; it is a quality of mind, a mentality that says no matter how difficult things become, you are responsible and accountable for your thoughts, feelings and actions. They continue by saying that inner excellence is staying positive in negative situations, and it is dealing with adversity in an optimistic way. It is finding love and joy in what you do and remaining steadfastly committed to your goals, values, and dreams. People with inner excellence look at competition as a challenge and are motivated by the desire to succeed rather than by a fear of failure. They possess an unconditional high self-esteem and self-image. They have a ‘can do’ attitude and a will to prepare to win. Inner excellence it seems are those qualities that we see portrayed in movies and in novels. Working harder, refusing to give up, not blaming the game, looking after the smallest detail and giving extra when it is needed. Whilst these qualities are important it is necessary to see that excellence goes beyond winning and losing.

Mack & Casstevens outline ten qualities that make up inner excellence. The person who is a winner within has a dream. Dreams provide a focus from which we can develop goals and action. We need to imagine what we want and what we can do, this will form the basis of our vision. From this we need clear, realistic and achievable goals and an action plan to put them into action. Commitment. Inner excellence involves being committed to your goals. This means making sure they are real, achievable, measurable and fun. The goals should also be motivating to keep you coming back to training and competition. Responsibility. This quality means that you don’t let what you can’t do interfere with what they can do. This means thoughts, feelings and actions; it is important not to let your thoughts create negative feelings that will have an impact on your ability to achieve. Openness to learning and growing. Inner excellence turns weakness into strength. Challenges need to be seen as opportunities to learn, grow and develop, and not as threats that will limit your performance and enjoyment. Optimism. It is an essential element of inner excellence that you are optimistic. This doesn’t mean that you try to look for some positive when you lose but means that you are able to see the opportunities in life and not the threats. Self confidence. It is necessary to believe in yourself and your abilities. No one can outperform his or her self-image. Be aware of how you see yourself and remember that if you don’t like it when others put you down, then don’t put yourself down either. It is important to know that no-one can take away your self-esteem without your permission. Have the courage to grow up and fulfil your potential. Emotional control. Those of you who are regular readers of these columns will have heard before that we need to let go of our own judgements. Perform at your level without judging it against some unrealistic, external measure. The adversity quotient. Look at obstacles as opportunities and view setbacks as springboards for comebacks. Have a backbone of character. Athletes with inner excellence practise good sportsmanship. Elite athletes see success without honour as an unseasoned meal it may taste good but it won’t satisfy your appetite. Be persistent and patient. Whatever you do; don’t give up on your dream. Edison had over ten thousand attempts at making the light bulb before he succeeded. When asked if it was a waste of time, he replied, no and that he had learnt ten thousand ways how not to make the light bulb. Inner excellence allows us the opportunity to perform at our best. It provides us with a vehicle that will give us permission to win. It must be remembered that working on the inside (working towards inner excellence) shows on the outside (your performance). What lies ahead of us or behind us is of little importance compared to what lies within us. Reference: G. Mack & D. Casstevens, 2001, Mind Gym; An athletes guide to inner excellence.

Australian Clay Target Shooting News October 2005 Front Pages OCT2005 31/8/05 9:10 AM Page 51 Sydney CTC Club Double Barrel Championship What can I say? Not exactly the weather we were hoping for with the day being overcast, rainy and winds blowing the paint off the trap houses. Fifty one shooters braved the conditions to have a crack at the title and have their name engraved on the Championship board as the 2005 Sydney CTC Club Double Barrel champion. With the gale force winds and the targets dancing around like nothing else it was always going to be tough. No shooter had shot the 50 targets clean in the Pointscore but we were still hopeful of getting one fifty in the Double Barrel. With six people shooting 49 (including yours truly) it looked like we were set to shoot off with only a squad of ‘B’ graders to come in, but local shooter Craig Lysaght had other ideas taking the Overall Sash and Championship with a lone 50. Just for the record, we have shot four of the Clubs Championships so far and ‘B’ grade shooters have taken two, ‘AA’ grade and ‘A’ grade Championships, one a piece. It just goes to show that it is not how good you are, but how good you are on the day! secure pack Winner of the High Gun John Crompton with Chett Auditore.

Visitors from as far as New Zealand, Bega, Canberra, Cowra, Junee and Port Macquarie turned up for a crack at the weekend’s prize money. Saturday’s weather wasn’t so nice with dull and drizzly conditions for shooters to contest with, however the scores were still brilliant. With 108 shooters rolling up for the first event, a 25tgt D/B Cash Divide with 33 possibles being shot, the targets were nothing but perfect. Event 2 25tgt Illawarra Pointscore C/ship Illawarra shooter Bob Rose showed the field that he wasn’t going home without some prize money and shot 125/126 to take overall first from ACTA president Bill Jones on 108/111 taking overall 2nd, AA 1st G.Rootes 99/102, 2nd V Gatt 96/99, AA 1st S Tsoukalas 93/96, 2nd D Crane 107/108, B 1st N Petrone, 78/81, 2nd S Toson 74/75, C 1st J Mitchell 73/75, 2nd J Hugo 68/75 Suthers. They served up a beautiful array of meats, salads and vegies that was fit for a king, well done an excellent job the whole weekend keeping all the starving shooters and their friends fed. Sunday morning, what a change in the weather, a beautiful clear blue sky day with no wind. 117 shooters rolled in for the Sunday competition and scores were right up there with 43 possibles in the first cash divide event. Event 5 25tgt Illawarra Single Barrel C/ship Well known shooter Arty Del-ben out shot the rest of the field with 46/46 to take 1st overall.

Event 6 Illawarra Open 50tgt D/B C/ship With the main event left until last, this was the one to win. The weather had held out for us, the wind had stayed away and the scores really did show. After the shoot-off, Theo Lionatos was the one to take home the Overall 1st place sash and cash with a score of 154/154, after going to a pointscore shoot-off, daylight is not on our side at Illawarra in June so it was the necessary decision to be able to finish the event. Tony Wright from Junee was right there with him until he pulled a second on his 118th tgt, well done guys.

A very special thanks go to our generous sponsors, Ern Webb’s Sports, Horsley Park Gunshop, Nioa Trading, R.E.McMahon, Langson Glass and Verdon Bros. As everyone knows we need sponsors, so try and support those who support us. To Mary Rapley, Jean Chodat and Lyn Teale thankyou so much for your magnificent efforts in the office, it’s a rewardless job however the shoot would not run without you, thanks again. To Fred Rapley and his hard working committee, you guys did an excellent job leading up to and during the shoot, thank you very much also. A special mention must go out to one of Illawarra’s club members Peter Young who unfortunately ended up in a wheelchair after an accident quite a few years ago. Peter was generous enough to hand paint a magnificent landscape picture and donate it to the club for a raffle prize during the shoot, thanks again Peter. In closing Illawarra Gun Club would like to thank everyone who shot, visited and made an effort to come to our anniversary shoot this year, we hope you all return again soon and enjoy our chosen sport and hospitality. Brad Webb, IGC Committee ISSF Grand Prix shot at Echuca July 9 and 10 2005 were two contrasting days, Saturday very cold with continuous rain and wind, Sunday clear and sunny all day. With 150 Olympic Trap targets to be shot over the two days, Saturday’s weather ensured the final scores would not be among the best ever shot, although the end results were reasonable. Adam Vella overall winner ISSF Grand prix October 2005 With a good rollup of shooters including some of Australia’s best, and Echuca Clay Target Club only possessing one Olympic Trap layout, the committee did an excellent job keeping the shoot running smoothly and finishing the event by 3.30pm. Echuca is hoping with the help of some government grant money to secure a fully automatic Olympic Trap setup in the near future which would make Echuca a destination for Commonwealth Games shooters and their families to visit, to train. Australian team member, Frankston registered, Adam Vella stood out from all others by showing the way to win, shooting a score of 159/175 collecting the Overall trophy and Sash. Another team member Nathan Castles also ending on a very good score of 134/150 collecting 1st in AA grade. 1st in A grade was Craig Henwood 133/150, 1st in B was Tony Demuri 129/155, 1st in C was Rob Anderson 108/150, winner of the Ladies was Stacey Roiall on 119/150, Junior, Todd Malone on 127/150. All second placings were as follows, AA grade Steve Trembath 119/150, A grade Nidal Asmar 131/150, B grade Andrew Jacotine 128/150, C grade was lady shooter Anna Shedrina on 97/150. In all a very successful Grand Prix round. Echuca committee does apologize to the shooters for the bad weather on Saturday, but with the warm clubroom, and good catering by Dot Roberts and her helpers, shooters were backed as much as is possible, and the rain was appreciated by the local farmers.

VALE Email: [email protected] OCTOBER - 2005 LESLIE RICHARD MOORE 6TH SEPTEMBER 1954-4TH JULY 2005 Wow, the Brazil World Cup was shot in August, and MY GOD, the scores were massive. In the Trap event, one Pavel Gurkin from Russia shot 125/125 only to finish 4th after the final, where he shot a 19. Our own Michael Diamond unleashed a 124/125 but stumbled to shoot a 16 in the final to finish 6th. The Single Barrel final certainly is tough, and doesn't take any prisoners. Tommy Turner shot a 114/125 and Craig Henwood a 110/125. In the Double Trap, Tommy was our only representative, and finished 9th. Probably a good effort considering the passing of Tommy's father just a few weeks prior to him departing for Brazil. I offer my condolences to the Turner family. While I am talking about World Cup's etc, I thought I would just let you all know about a Junior American Skeet Shooter called Vincent Hancock. He is 16 years old and has achieved the following phenomenal results this year: World Cup Changwon, Korea - 124/125 + 25 = 149 Gold Medal World Cup Rome, Italy - 124/125 + 24 = 148 Silver Medal World Champs Lonato, Italy - 123/125 + 25 = 148 Gold Medal World Cup Belgrade, Slovenia - 123/125 + 25 = 148 Silver Medal World Cup Americana, Brazil - 124/125 + 25 = 149 Gold Medal I am not a Skeet shooter, but these scores are off the dial. This shooter is exciting, and people I know who have met him have told me he is a nice kid too, has his feet firmly on the ground. Just keep an eye on him in the future. He is going to be hard to toss, and has a massive future ahead of him. This also sets a target for our own Skeet shooters, and hopefully lifts their performances over the coming few years. Again credit must be given to the ASA for securing the services of ex Russian Skeet coach Valeriy Timokhin. He has been contracted by the ASA until the end of 2005 to try and raise the standard of ISSF Skeet in Australia. I know of a couple of Skeeties who have been seeing him, and scores have definitely lifted. So to all our aspiring ISSF Skeet shooters, you should be taking advantage of his expertise while he is here, and with a little luck, maybe he will stay longer and be a huge benefit for Australian Shooting. The Melbourne Grand Prix was shot on the 6th & 7th of August. The new layout worked a treat and was a pleasure to shoot there. Adam Vella was the best over the weekend winning the Double Trap & Trap Event. This was the last event of the 5 Grand Prix series, the Victorian State Titles is all that remains. It is with deep regret the Bundaberg Clay Target Club reports the untimely passing of one of our valued members, Leslie (Les) Richard Moore, after a short battle with cancer. Les started shooting in 1986 at Goondiwindi and moved to Bundaberg, joined the Bundaberg Clay Target club in 1998. Les was one of our club coaches and was on the committee at one stage. Les spent a lot of time at Brothers League Club, coaching the under 14’s to rep grade in Rugby League. Les always had a smile and helped anyone that asked for his help in shooting. Les is survived by his wife Jennifer and Son Nathan and Daughter Kristen Our deepest sympathy to his family at their loss. He will be sadly missed by all, particularly the shooting fraternity. Are You Fairdinkum?? Allegedly, Nidal (Nick) Asmar, the "Greatest Taxi Driver in Melbourne", upon leaving the Brazil World Cup decided to enter the USA to visit some relatives. This seemed like a good idea at the time. Unfortunately for Nick he failed to obtain any relevant Import Permits and his shotgun was confiscated and he was made to wait for 2 days in Miami, while the Authority's got the permits.....

Kaye Rehbein [Secretary] TOM TURNER (SNR) NOVEMBER 1936 - JULY 2005 The Cessnock Gun Club, informs with deep regret the passing of our esteemed life member Tom Turner (SNR). Without any doubt Tom was a champion shot and a thorough gentleman who was admired and respected by all who knew him. Tom was a tireless worker for our club, not only hands on but with important decisions in executive positions. There would hardly be a gun club in NSW that he and wife Gwen had not attended, and such was their personality and knowledge they would be welcomed by all. So much so that Tom and Gwen were Life Members of Cessnock Gun Club and Tom also at Upper Hunter. Tom spent most of his working life in the coal mines and all of his retired life shooting, fishing and working his way through the jobs Gwen would find him to prevent him doing the other two seven days a week. We extend our deepest sympathy to Gwen, Steven, Paul, Tom Jnr and their families for this terrible and unexpected loss of this great, respected and caring gentleman who gave his all to his family, friends, fishing and clay target shooting. Tom will be deeply missed by all of those who were lucky enough to have known him. Good bye Mate, leave some fish and a couple of boxes of clays up there for the rest of us. Cessnock Gun Club Inc.

Cool but sunny conditions greeted 33 shooters for what was to be a full day of shooting. Yep, no rain, given that it looks as though the drought has broken (on the Peninsula at least) we had fine conditions. Lucky because the previous couple of days were crappy and even as I write this it’s pouring down. Yep this is a shoot write up and not a report from the Bureau Of Meteorology so I’ll cut the crap. 25DB first and in AA Paul Drennan posted a possible to take first (and my dollar). After an extended shoot off (cough cough) LC was second with a 29/30. In A grade two of Nepean’s finest emerged victorias, Mick Hutchins with a “rare” possible to take first and myself, after a shoot off with Boyd’y, second with a 49/50. B grade was won by Frank Ibbott with a 30/31 who is a Yarrawonga member, but on recently moving to the area has joined Nepean and become one of our many elite (did I mention Nepean won). Second and crumbling under the pressure of a shoot off was Bruce Sanderson with a 29/30. Lance Cazaly with a 22/25 won C grade. Lance is starting to shoot well so now’s the time to stop coaching him for we don’t want him in A. Mad Mick McKernan came second with an 18/25. After observing him shoot over the ones he missed he’s going to get the stock bent down on that lovely piece of timber on his Miroku. (The use of a rasp in the back of my car was politely declined). Yep there was Mornington domination in C grade, but as I may not have mentioned, Nepean won the day! 40HCP. Every excuse in the book was used for missing the targets: slow button pushing, couldn’t see em, too high, too low, the person next to me put me off, the targets were made of aluminium, it was those crap crackers, Hecta turned up, I have to go out to dinner with the cook tonight. Whatever you can think of “we” used it. When the scores came in there were three on 38/40, Woody, Pitt, Drennan. It was shoot off time. Drennan dropped his second, Pitt crumbled under the pressure and Woody, one of Nepean’s finest (did I mention Nepean won) did a metre with a final score of 44/46. Roger who chews PK as an aid to giving up smoking, was observed by an anonymous person walking off his nerves in the car park prior to the shoot off chewing PK and smoking, such was the pressure. The dollars. Drennan took two from me, I took two from foot fault Quickie and I’m still trying to track down Fozzy as he made a hasty retreat at the end of the day where’s me Neil Bakker with Paul Drennan buck fifty Pete? Good to see Mornington with a good turn out, it was rather prosperous for myself wasn’t it Graham? Good to see the Frankston blokes show as well. Speaking of one Frankstonite, Laurie recently opened a new business with his partner specialising in pool excavations and trenching, he can be contacted on 1800 black dog, just follow the prompts. The results, Nepean (as maybe mentioned above), second Cerberus I think, Third Mornington with the final round to be held at Mornington. See you at the next shoot N.B.

The numbers were a little disappointing on Saturday but Sunday’s numbers swelled and the competition hotted up. Saturday night saw the Commonwealth Night Continental Championship contested and the competition was tight with everyone wanting the Royal Blue sash that was up for grabs. Event one on Saturday was the East Ingham Hotel 25 target Double Barrel trophy event with AA grade going to Barry Bosworth first and Keven Stout second. Greg Maltby took first in A Grade from Willie Taylor. Col Edgerton edged out Steven Rosendale in B Grade and A Hobbs beat Tony Vincenzi in C Grade. The Oasis Coffee Lounge Single Barrel trophy event was next up and Barry Bosworth won the AA Grade section from Keven Stout. Willie Taylor beat Bill Gall in a shoot off for A Grade. Bill Weadon shot well to take out B Grade from Pio Bonato. Len Carty defeated A Hobbs in C Grade. Col Edgerton Commonwealth Night Continental Champion A warm up for the Championship was held next with the Mick’s Bread Kitchen Continental trophy event. Keven Stout got the better of Barry Bosworth in this event for AA Grade. Graeme Faulkner shot a perfect score to take A Grade from Greg Maltby. B Grade saw Mark Kirk also shoot a perfect score to defeat Carol Betteridge. P Cox scored his first C Grade win over Quintan Bosworth. Next on the program was the long awaited Commonwealth Night Continental Championship sponsored by Ingham Farm Centre. The first squad had a few good scores come in to lead the way for the shooters to come. A very happy and surprised B Grader in Col Edgerton took out the Overall prize for his first sash win with a score of 47/50. Barry Bosworth was the best of the AA Graders with Keven Stout coming in a close second. Greg Maltby had to shoot off with fellow Port Denison shooter Graeme Faulkner but it only lasted one target before Greg had first place in his hand. Pio Bonato was one of the early shooters to come in with a good score and with it he took the B Grade prize from Mark Kirk and Carol Betteridge. C Grade saw Tony Vincenzi taking out first from B Nowak. Sunday dawned and the shooters were eased into the day with a 25 target Double Barrel sweeps event. Barry Bosworth and Keven Stout split the AA Grade money. A Grade saw Graeme Faulkner and Marco Peressini share the spoils. Carol Betteridge was the only B Grader to shoot the possible and Peter Mackey, Sam Foti, Allan Bredden and Jim Laws all shared the second place money. Len Carty and H Lategan shared the C Grade cash. Page 56 The prestigious event for Sunday was the Hinchenbrook Shire Council 50 target Point Score trophy event. AA Grade first place went to Barry Bosworth from Ross Carty. Greg Maltby took out A Grade from Carol Betteridge and Con Lamari shot well, considering he hasn’t picked up his gun for a long time, taking out B Grade from Col Edgerton. P Cox was the winner in C Grade with A Hobbs coming in second place. Event 7 on the weekend’s program was the 25 target Single Barrel trophy event. Barry Bosworth dominated the AA Grade prizes taking first in this event from Ross Carty. Pat Dury turned up for the Sunday program and took out first place in A Grade with Willie Taylor taking second. Con Lamari continued his good form taking B Grade from Alan O’Keefe. B Nowak shot pretty well to take out C Grade from P Cox. The final event of Sunday’s program was the Lathinen Electical 25 target Handicap. First place went to Barry Bosworth with the only possible. Carol Betteridge and Allan Bredden had to shoot off after they both shot 24/25, after only four targets Carol had second place wrapped up. Allan had to settle for third. Monday dawned a lovely clear day and the Ingham Real Estate 50 target Pointscore Continental trophy event was shot. Barry Bosworth was the victor of AA Grade. Bill Gall shot a creditable 148/150 to take A Grade from Carol Betteridge. Alan O’Keefe was the surprised winner of B Grade with Peter Mackey taking second place. C Grade was taken out by A Hobbs from Len Carty. After all the scores were tallied the Clay Targets Australia High Gun Winners were announced.

Whilst in Perth Ray Collinson took out the Overall Pre-national Single Barrel title after defeating Russell Mark in the shoot off. David O’Donnell claimed third in B Grade in the same event. This was Dave’s first Nationals and he was happy with this effort. his brilliant score of 372/375. John Malone took out B Grade with a score of 362/375. After the State Team shot they announced the Team High Gun winners and Ray Collinson shared this prize with Cameron Dean after they both shot 150/150. Well done. Annette Vassalini shot a perfect 75/75 to take the Women’s Team High Gun. Ray was crowned the Trap Champion again this year with a perfect score of 400/400. Ray Collinson, Barry Bosworth and Rod Cusack all made the Open State Team. Annette Vassalini made the Women’s team and Doug Killick and Mick McGill made the Veteran’s team. Ray and Annette were both successful in making their respective Shoulder to Shoulder teams to go to Wagga next year. By the time this goes to print the Northern Zone carnivals will have been shot. The ISSF was in Cairns in June, the skeet in Townsville in July and the Trap in Normanton in August. There have been numerous very successful annual shoots held in the last few months as well. Normanton’s by all accounts, up in Wayne’s world, was very enjoyable with very good scores shot. Herbert River had the Commonwealth Night Continental Championship has part of their program this year and a very ecstatic Col Edgerton from the Port Denison Gun Club won his first silk. The Townsville annual was a little on the difficult side with the wind playing havoc with the targets. Mt Isa also held their annual in June and a good time was had by all. The Cloncurry and Port Denison clubs will hold their annuals in July as well. Joseph Rossato Double Rise Winner The State carnival held in Roma was very successful for the Northern Zone shooters. In the first event for the weekend, the Winchester Pointscore saw Ray Collinson start well with an Overall win. Peter Colls took out second in B Grade. The Northern Zone team took out the Zone Shoulder to Shoulder title once again this year. The total score for the team was 148/150 which was a wonderful effort by the members consisting of Wayne Reeves, Barry Bosworth, Ray Collinson, Noel Beale, Mike Collins and Gian Vassalini. The Veteran’s team were also placed first with an unbeatable 75/75. Lui Poplin, Noel Beale and Mike Collins were very happy about that. Next on the program was the State Double Barrel Championship with Diane Reeves being the only zone winner in this event after she took out second in the women’s section. Ray Collinson shot 76/76 to take out the Overall State Single Barrel Championship from another northern zoner in Joseph Rossato. Rod Cusack of Mt Isa took second in A Grade division with John Malone taking second in B Grade and Ian Facey second in C Grade. Annette Vassalini was the best in the women. Joseph Rossato shot the only possible 50/50 in the State Double Rise Championship which impressed everyone in attendance. John Malone took out second in B Grade again. Diane Reeves defeated the rest of the women. The final event of the weekend was the State Pointscore Championship. Ray Collinson won the shoot off to take out the Overall prize. Annette Vassalini was the only other Northerner to take out a prize in this event when she claimed second in the Women’s section. When all the scores were tallied the High Guns were announced and it was no surprise that Ray Collinson took out the Overall title with October 2005 John Malone B Grade High Gun There is still no news from the Burdekin Clay Target Club with regard to restarting anywhere but they are still trying. The shooters are still having major success even though they have no club to practice at, as the State Carnival is testament with four of the five Overall titles up for grabs taken out by two Burdekin shooters. The notes have been far and few between but we in the northern zone are a little laid back and when we get around to things they will happen.

Although the numbers were down a little on the previous year, the quality of shooters was not. Saturday had fifty-five nominations and Sunday had fifty-four shooters. Saturday’s weather almost perfect, not a cloud in the sky and the sun shone brightly all of the day. Sunday was greeted with a cloudy sky and every chance of a shower, but it held off and the shoot went on without a hitch finishing in the daylight. The Club members had the shooting grounds in wonderful order, with the couch grass green and mowed making a pretty sight for this time of the year. We had many spectators and visitors making the best of the long weekend, with people making it their first visit and discovering what a wonderful part of the state it is besides shooting took part in surfing, fishing etc and to be able to dine at one of the many Clubs, eat places or just viewing what Yamba has to offer. We had competitors from many places such as Tumut, Richmond River, Grafton, Brewarrina, Guyra, Cobar, Goondiwindi, Inverell, Brisbane, Moree, Gold Coast, Warwick plus many more. Shooting got underway at 9.30am on Saturday, and after the first event which was cash divide the score board had more results shown Matt Lononey President with Geoff Baxter Guyra, Palmers Island Single Barrel Championship winner. in red, than blue - going to show what the scores were going to be.

The 50 target, event 5 the Eastern States DB Championship, was won by a new member of the Richmond River club Wade Hawkins, a previous member of the Cobar Club and the final event was the 25 tgt Palmers Island SB Championship, resulting in a win for a great shooter and regular visitor from Guyra, Geoff Baxter.

The ship had organised a number of tours to allow us to enjoy the city of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. Believe it or not, one of these tours was a chance to experience clay target shooting. Each session was 25 trap, 25 skeet and 25 sporting with instruction if required. Obviously I have already experienced this sport, but thinking this will be a good time to scratch that itch that I've had for the previous two and half months, I put my name on the list and waited impatiently for the day to arrive. When we arrived onto the layout I found a slight difference to what I was accustomed to back home with the DTL trap sunken into the ground much like the Ball Trap set up, otherwise everything else was identical to back home. The club had approximately ten DTL layouts with Skeet superimposed over the top. Off to the left of the club house the Trench layout was situated and as a Trenchie I was keen to have a look at their traps and the sort of equipment they are using, but due to practice being conducted I was unable have a look. At the opposite end was the Archery and Pistol range that was only available to members. As advertised, the session took approximately two and half hours and on completion we went to their bar and enjoyed an ale or two while waiting for the driver to turn up and take us back to Port Rashid, where Darwin was berthed. When the day finally arrived there were four of us from the ship looking forward to going out and just enjoying ourselves and breaking a few targets. We arrived at what seemed a mix between a sixteenth century castle and a five star hotel. After the club's officials ensured our identifications were correct and the bookings were all in order we Turns out this is not only a bar but also an American Steak House restaurant but unfortunately we were unable sample the delights of this restaurant due to other commitments. were then shown down stairs, through a metal detector and into a room where all firearms are stored. I believe this was the club vault and I found myself looking at approximately one dozen firearms per rack of Trap, Skeet and Sporting for each and they were all Beretta 686E's. I thought these were quality shotguns for training and teaching. We were issued a club shooting jacket, and firearm, then made our decision to try our hand at Sporting first then move to Trap and finally to Skeet. Page 60 All in all everyone had a great time busting some clays and were very appreciative of the help given by our instructor and supervisor David. As this is my first International club I might be biased but this would have to be the most lavish club I have ever been to and recommend it to all ACTA shooters for a look if the opportunity arises. I hope to return to Jebel Ali where I might be able to have a go at the Trench layout and have a snoop around. Enjoy shooting and hope to see you around the traps later this year. Australian Clay Target Shooting News Mick Bryan October 2005 Front Pages OCT2005 31/8/05 9:11 AM Page 61 Trench Handicap a winner at International Gun Club A magnificent winter’s day, 19’c, sunny and no wind is what shooters found at the annual 100 target Trench Handicap sponsored by Professionals Real Estate SA & NT. With about 30 shooters present conditions perfect, everyone was in with a chance and as the following result shows it’s not always the A graders that win. Congratulations to the winners 1st Ted Piteo with 87/100 (h/cap score 83) 2nd George Kontopoulos with 82/100 (h/cap score 78) 3rd Bruno Piteo 86/100 (h/cap score 78) and 4th Panos Christou 81/100 (h/cap score 77).

Champion of Champions at Echuca Trench Trophies Handicap Shoot at Mathoura July 22nd was cold and thankfully calm for Mathoura Gun Club’s monthly Friday night competition, which included two Handicap events. Usually backmarkers have a struggle to post a good score shooting under lights, but George Bradley, shooting off 22 meters proved that theory wrong by hitting all ten in the eye opener, and dropping only one out of 25 in the main event, to collect first and overall sash and trophy. A Victorian North East Zone 75 Target, Champion of Champions event was shot at Echuca Clay Target Club on the 31st of July 2005. Possibly because weather-wise it was a perfect day for clay target shooting, or that the event is popular among competitors, it brought a roll up of seven full squads, which is very good for a fifth Sunday shoot at Echuca. Competitors arrived from over a large area including Swan Hill, Bendigo, Costerfield, and Numurkah, and it was a Costerfield junior shooter, Nathan Harris, only 13 years old that caught the eye of the committee with his capability, that picked up the junior encouragement award for the shoot. Attendance of junior shooters has been increasing of late which is a good sign for the sport. OA & AA Winner S Atkins George Bradley Murray Roberts D/B Championship Roger Kerslake who shared the Handicap eye opener cash with George, shot off with Murray Roberts for 2nd & 3rd in the main event both on 23/25, after only two targets Murray let one fly away giving Roger 2nd place, he collecting 3rd trophy. Three squads made up the competition for the shoot, which is down on normal attendance, but for a cold July night, probably, really, a reasonable turnout. Event Three a 15 target Double Barrel Championship, two shooters Murray & George shooting a clean score to shoot off for 1st & 2nd with George letting number 8 fly away giving Murray 1st on a score of 23/23, George picking up 2nd on 22/23. and 3rd after a 3 way shoot off ending with junior, Jack Collicoat of Deniliquin surviving on a 25/26 score, and feeling pretty pleased with himself having pushed out his dad Robert Collicoat in the shoot off. Scores were excellent on the day, with locals Steve Atkins, and Dominec Costa both only one point down, shooting off for the Overall Sash, Steve eventually wearing Dominec down to collect Overall and AA Grade on an impressive score of 149/150. On a score of 145/150 Dominec collected 2nd in AA Grade, A Grade 1st was picked up by Numurkah shooter Alan Cole on 121/125, A 2nd was D Milojevic on a 120/125, B Grade 1st F Gobbo with an 118/125, B 2nd J Costa 117/125, C Grade 1st B McMinn 116/125 and C Grade 2nd W Kelvy on a 113/125 score. The shoot ran so smoothly that it was all over and presentations completed by 4pm so shooters were also offered a 20 pair Double Rise cash divide event, and two 25 target practice Skeet Events, which both proved to be very popular with shooters. On Thursday the 11th of August Echuca Clay Target Club hosts the North East Zone, School Students Championship, usually bringing roughly 200 young shooters together to compete over a 20 target Single Barrel event shot over the day.

Page 62 When Tony Roberts of the NSWCTA committee suggested a competition between ACTA registered clubs in Australia, AusShoot was born. Conducted by Maryborough Clay Target Club, Queensland, Aus-Shoot is a similar format to e-Shoot, the international trap competition which Maryborough has run successfully for several years. Like e-Shoot, Aus-Shoot is simply a postal competition conducted by e-mail. The purpose of Aus-Shoot is to promote our sport, bring us all together in friendly rivalry and strengthen the comradeship between the shooters, clubs, zones and states of Australia. All ACTA registered clay target clubs in Australia are invited to enter. The event is 50 target Points and your team consists of one AA Grade, one A Grade, two B Grade and two C Grade shooters with the top 5 scores to count, i.e. a possible of 750 points. The event will be shot at your own club on a normal competition day. Your team is selected from your own club members after the event from the top scores in each grade. (ACTA grade percentages and rules apply). Maryborough Clay Target Club will provide a perpetual trophy. Each year the winning club will add their name plaque and retain the trophy until the following year, when they will pass it on to the new winners. The trophy will be a quality item, which you will be proud to display in your clubhouse, especially as it will mean you are the best in Australia! To date entries have been received from Bombala, Cecil Park, Leeton and Singleton in New South Wales, Nepean in Victoria and Maryborough, Mount Isa and Pioneer in Queensland. The organisers are hoping for a good representation of clubs from all States. All the information, entry form and the nominations to date are on the Aus-Shoot website at www.mctc.org.au/ aushow.htm. Clubs are added to the map as they nominate, so we can see where we all are. If you have any queries you can also contact Tony Roberts at [email protected] or Holly Wood at [email protected]. Entry is free. Nominations close on December 31st 2005 and the closing date for results is March 31st 2006. Who will be the first club on the Aus-Shoot Honour Board? You have to be in it!

For those of you who do not know or may have forgotten, the Arafura Games is a biannual international sporting event held in Darwin. This year’s games were held between the 14th & 21st May with over 30 countries from as close as New Zealand, Papua New Guinea & Timor, to as far as the USA, Italy and England sending competitors to try their luck. For clay target shooting we were pleased to have the company of teams from ChineseTaipei, Papua New Guinea (which included 4 juniors) & Brunei (which included 5 women) compete against our local Australians. The 5 days of competition consisted of Day 1 & 2 125TGT ISSF Trap, Day 3 75 Pair Double Trap and Day 4 & 5 125TGT ISSF Skeet. With fantastic, clear calm 28C conditions, competition began under the watchful eye of A grade Judge and Tournament Director Elaine Forward. Consistent scores from Dwayne Devanney, Christos Despotis and Vincent Mollica saw the Australians take a healthy lead on day one from Yao-fu Tsai of Taipei, and Rizal Salleh and Mohammed Hanafi of Brunei. In the junior section Angus Donald of PNG had a one target lead with local junior Tom Hamilton and Darren Short of PNG hot on his heels. Leading after each of their 3 rounds in the women section, Brunei shooter Norsah went into the final ahead of fellow team mates None & Aishah with a 7 target lead. None fought back in the final to within 2 targets, but Norsah held on to win the gold, with None silver and Aishah winning the bronze. It was Aishah’s first attempt at ISSF Trap and shot a well deserving score. Day 2 started with perfect conditions once again, and all shooters got down to business for the final 50 targets. With similar scores posted as the previous day, the final six were, Vincent Mollica (Aus), Christos Despotis (Aus), Dwayne Devanney (Aus), Yao-fu Tsai (Taipei), Rizal Salleh (Brunei) and Mohammed Hanafi (Brunei). After the single barrel final, which saw some good and bad scores, the gold medal went to Vincent Mollica (Aus), with silver to Christos Despotis (Aus) and Page 64 Dwayne Devanney (Aus) taking out the bronze. An Australian trifecta. With only one target separating 1st, 2nd & 3rd in the juniors, the competition was tough right down to the final shot. Coming out victorious with the gold medal was local shooter Tom Hamilton, followed closely by Darren Short of PNG, with another PNG junior Angus Donald taking bronze. The first squad of Day 3 for the double trap started with a few interruptions due to a trap hiccup, but after a quick set up of our second layout, we were back in action with minimal time loss. Once again our local boys Christos and Dwayne took an early lead, with Saiful Japar and Yakub Batong of Brunei not far behind. The Brunei women, once again, showed their expertise shooting some quality scores, while new PNG junior Israel Yama started shakily but found his feet and finished strongly. The ladies final was once again a three way Brunei affair with Norsah (gold) too strong for None (silver) and Zella (bronze). Going into the double trap final, Christos held a 14 target lead over the fellow finalists of Dwayne Devanney (Aus), Saiful Japar (Brunei), Yakub Batong (Brunei), John Williams (Aus) and Chi-Hsing Wu (Taipei). Dwayne Devanney shot the best score in the final, but it wasn’t enough and he fell short of the target to take silver while Christos Despotis held onto his lead for gold, with a close struggle for 3rd from the two Brunei shooters with Saiful Japar winning bronze. Day 4 saw four squads take to the walks for the first 75 of 125 targets ISSF Skeet. Brunei shooters Razali Tagal and Kamis Juing took an early lead from Australians John Doyle and Dwayne Devanney. First time Skeet shooters James Fallon, Steve Patrick and Israel Yama of Papua New Guinea, found the going a little tough early on but got back on the tracks and posted some good scores. Women shooter Aishah of Brunei finally got her chance to shoot her discipline and took no time at all to take a convincing lead over fellow team mate Zella. In their final both women shot the same score therefore giving Aishah the gold and Zella the silver. Leading after the first day of skeet was Razali Australian Clay Target Shooting News Tagal of Brunei with team mate Kamis Juing and Australian John Doyle equal second while Dwayne Devanney and Richard Schmidt were not too far behind. Day 5 saw the wind pick up in the morning and with the targets dancing around more than normal the first round saw everyone’s scores drop a little. By the second round the scores were getting back to normal and the top six shooters to qualify for the final were: Razali Tagal (Brunei), Kamis Juing (Brunei), John Doyle (Aus), Dwayne Devanney (Aus), Richard Schmidt (Aus) and Peter Reeve (Aus).With the top four shooters in the final shooting the same score the medal positions didn’t change with the gold going to Razali Tagal of (Brunei), Kamis Juing (Brunei) winning the silver and local skeet legend John Doyle winning Bronze. The official medal presentations were held at the central hub of the Arafura Games, with prominent Government VIPs presenting the athletes with their medals whilst the national anthems played in the background. As always a few thank yous are in order, so firstly to Robert Fox (Club President) & Elaine Forward for all their tireless work throughout the last 6 months and the whole week of the games. To George Hennessey for those early morning starts to get us going, Linda O’Grady for all her work in the early stages getting the games off the ground, caretaker Robert Madden for the fabulous looking grounds and to our canteen duo of Ric and mother Chris for those great sandwiches. I would also like to make a quick mention about our closest international shooting neighbours from Papua New Guinea. They have just resurrected their clay target range in Port Moresby after a long period of time and as many know it is always a hard task to do. They are very keen to have Australian shooters visit them to compete and help support clay target shooting in PNG. If anyone wants any details regarding visiting Papua New Guinea please drop us a line at the address below and we will pass on your details. It was also interesting to note that Brunei have also recommenced shooting. A private clay target club has been established as the earlier one run by the Prince no longer operates. It is our understanding that they only shoot ISSF and their discipline and performance at the Arafura Games appeared to reflect some pretty serious training. So anyone out there wishing to participate in the next Arafura Games in 2007, please lodge your expression of interest to the Darwin Clay Target Club, either via our website www.darwinclaytarget.com or mail GPO Box 41001 Casuarina NT 0811.
