ANNUAL

REPORT

2005

It is with pleasure I again bring toyou my 2005 Annual Report, mythird as President of the AustralianClay Target Association.

National Championships were againheld in all disciplines with thestandard of competition continuing toimprove. This year the OD Nationalswent to Brisbane where some finescore were produced and visitingshooters from China took many of thetitles. The 2005 DTL Nationals wereheld at the West Australian Gun Cluband my thanks go the committee ofthat club on presenting of theirgrounds. It is a credit to the membersof your club. Due to the continuingdevelopment of the National Groundthe Skeet Nationals were held at theCecil Park clay target club. Again thegrounds were excellently prepared andmy thanks also go to that committee.

We will show a loss on operations for2005 with some $110,00 being spent onthe upgrade to the National Groundsin preparation for the World DTLChampionships. However a surplus isexpected from both the World DTLChampionships and NationalChampionships, which will put theAssociation back in the ‘black’ for2006. Those of you that have attendedthe National Ground will agree we nowhave a National Shooting Ground to beproud of. This has only been achievedby a few hard working people frombehind the scenes.

Staff changes continue at the NationalOffice. In the Accounts DepartmentTina Hoban has resigned and wasreplaced by Diane Regan.Unfortunately, Diane has also resignedand she has now been replaced by

Rowena Spiranac. Rowena comes tothe Association with a wide range ofexperience and will be an asset.Despite the changes Andy with thecontinued help of the other staffmembers continue to proceed firstclass efforts. I would like to offer themmy thanks on your behalf.

National Executive Members continueto contribute. Glenn O’Brien, formerExecutive Member from WesternAustralia, has been appointed as aDirector of the newly found AustralianInternational Shooting Ltd (AISL),formally the Australian ShootingAssociation (ASA). Due to hisappointment Glenn was required toresign from our Executive. Glenncontinues to represent our associationand indeed all shooting in general.Geoff Faulkes replaced Glenn as thedelegate from Western Australia.Victorian delegate Len Cook has alsobeen replaced with Lynne Curtis as theVictorian delegate. Many hours oftireless work is put in by theExecutive and I would like to extend,on behalf of the members, our sinceregratitude towards those Executivemembers that have retired.

As mentioned earlier the newlyformed AISL replaces the ASA. TheAISL is a more streamlinedorganisation and in my opinion iscapable of a better effort in respect ofall international shooting events.ACTA representation at the AISL willinsure a close working relationshipwhich will be beneficial to theAssociation.

Membership numbers continue toshow a modest increase for the thirdyear in a row. An initiave by the

National Executive was taken this yearto introduce “ACTA ComplimentaryLimited Membership”. Since itsinception some 236 new membershave being introduce to our sport. Allclubs were issued with two certificatesto use as they see fit. These certificatesare an ideal way of introducing afriend to the sport of clay targetshooting. These certificates will againbe issued to all clubs in 2006 and Iencourage all members to use them tobolster their ranks.

Our Hall of Fame continues to grow.The induction ceremony that was heldin Wester Australia was once again agreat success with Jack McGraith,Sperry Marshall, Bill Stevens, JackHeadon and Pud Burgess beinginducted. Russell Mark and guestpresenter Steve Atkins did a great job.The hall of Fame dinner is turning outto be the highlight of the year.

The ACTA Junior Development squadcontinues to grow. A new pathwayfrom the ACTA Junior DevelopmentSquad to the AISL Junior Camp hasnow been established. This allows fordeveloping juniors to progress throughto a higher level of training. I wouldlike to take this opportunity to thankGreg Chan, AISL shotgun coach, forhis assistance in developing thisprogram. My thanks also to the ACTAJunior Development Squad staff fortheir continued support.

As mentioned last year a majorsponsorship agreement has beensigned between Beretta Australia andthe ACTA. Beretta Australia hassupplied the ACTA with 15 MattarelliDouble Rise Traps together with 16skeet traps for installation at theNational Shooting Ground. Thesponsorship package is by far thebiggest ever for our association. Thisputs our ground in a position of beingthe premier shooting range in theSouthern Hemisphere and will ensurea successful 2006 World & DTLChampionships. My thanks to Berettafor their help and I look forward tomany years of mutual benefit.

I await 2006, a big and historical yearfor our Association and salute 2005 asbeing a year of monumentaldevelopment.

I thank you all for your support andlook forward to your continued effort.

Target Champion. The mayor for the shire ofYarra ranges, Cr Monika Keane and severalof her councillors attended. They all had ashot and were quite pleased with themselves,especially when they hit a couple of targets.

After the squads completed their shooting,several heats were held to shoot for the'Come and Try Day' Champion. After someserious shooting, a first time shooter,Carolyn McCausland, won the day. Drivingpast with her family, Carolyn just poppedout for a look around the club. She wasplaced in a squad and the rest is nowfolklore.

Club Senior Vice President, John Mollica,provided tours of the club grounds and facil-ities. Of particular interest to many wasground number 1, where the Commonwealthgames shooting will be held and we will seeOlympic and Commonwealth medallistsRussell Mark, Michael Diamond, Suzi Baloghand Adam Vella shoot for glory in the 2006Commonwealth Games. Adam Vella was onhand and gave a talk on his progressionthrough the sport, from starting out as a 13-year-old shooting tin cans off a post, tothe elite ranks of a world champion.Everyone was enthralled by Adam's talk andeven more impressed with his shootingdemonstration on the very ground where hewill no doubt shoot for gold.

The local firearms officers from the

Victorian Police Force were present andprovided information about licensing andfirearm registration. They also answeredsome rather curly questions from the publicregarding the policing of the legal aspects offirearms and the legislation. The 'boys inblue' handed out many information packsand their contribution and enthusiasmadded greatly to the success of the day.

The committee and members of the Mel-bourne Gun Club generously gave theirsupport to this very successful event. Theyperformed many important duties such asmarshalling, instructing shooters, manningof the BBQ and talking to many participantsabout club memberships. Many thanks toRobert Buchan, his committee and the mem-

bers of the club, for their outstanding effortin making the day the success that it was.

With the huge success of this day and thelarge number of people that unfortunatelycould not be accommodated into squads,another “Come and Try day” is beingplanned. However, instead of the themebeing come and look at the world classfacility, it might be come and walk on thehallowed turf that delivered AustraliaCommonwealth gold.

Finally, thanks to all that came and tried.We enjoyed sharing our fantastic sport withyou.

Good luck to all of our shooters at the Mel-bourne 2006 XVIII Commonwealth Games.

The Tasmanian Clay Target Association Inc held its annualTrap Carnival at the Tasmanian Gun Club at Nile RoadEvandale over the period 26th - 29th January 2006. Con-ditions were excellent but quite windy, making the compe-tition reasonably difficult. However the four days were nicesunny days with moderate hot northerly wind, an excellentturn up saw 174 shooters compete over the period. Again,this carnival was very successful and the biggest held formany years.The carnival was shot over 6 Canterbury automatic traps. There were53 shooters from the mainland in attendance to keep the localshonesty and from all indications they would all like to be back nextyear if possible. A large contingent of the mainland shooters madetheir way from Western Australia and I understand they will be backnext year.

The Tasmanian Gun Club has installed two new layouts featuring afull concrete walk around on 15-16 metres. These layouts have twonew ultra modern trap houses with lift up lids and swing out backsto make setting the traps a breeze along with reloading of theCanterbury automatic traps. Shooters were delighted by these twolayouts which both have excellent backgrounds.

This carnival has now become a truly national event, attracting moreand more shooters annually from the northern states.

With the airport and accommodation less than 10 minutes away fromthe Tasmanian Gun club and, as one well travelled West Australianput it, “the best background I have ever shot over!!!" making it oneof the better shooting destinations in Australia.

Some very good competition was see, again over 40 people shot the50/50 in the State Double Barrel Championship culminating in amarathon shoot off between Ray Collinson and Phillip Headon withthe final score of 555/555 being required to win.

Ray Collinson had to put his hand in his pocket to buy break badgesfor 400, 500 and 600 straight DTL before the weekend finished.

The Overall High Gun for the three days of carnival was won byShane Yates with 344/350, dropping only two targets in Double Rise,one in the Handicap and three in Single Barrel and shooting theDouble Barrel and the Pointscore events clean, a pretty good effortall round.

State team eliminations were also extremely tight with 7 points downin 250 needed to get a place in the 15-man squad.

The Tasmanian Clay Target Association Inc ran two events onThursday, Australia Day. A 75 target Champion of Champions and aHigh Roller Event, which consisted of 100 targets Pointscore with a25 target Pointscore final. The High Roller event was very wellreceived and should be a feature for all future carnivals. The winnerof this event was Mr Geoff Faulkes of Western Australia shooting a373/375 to win from Nicky Brown of Tasmania with a 372/375.

Nicky was finally able to sleep on the Thursday night after psychinghimself for the previous week so as not to disappoint his backers.

Geoff has already said he will donate a prestigious Belt Buckle eachyear to the winner and the TCTA will maintain a trophy with annu-al winners names inscribed. Next year's event is sure to draw a muchlarger contingent of shooters making it a very worthwhile purse forthe winner.

All results can be found in the result section.

There would be no doubt that everyclay target shooter would have hadthe experience of standing on thelanes with both feet firmly planted.Then calling for the target only to seeit float away unmolested and unde-terred in spite of the fact that you

have discharged two of your best in itsdirection.Spare a thought for the wheelchair clay tar-get shooters who never have the advantageof having both feet firmly planted on thelanes. Merely rubber tyres kissing the con-crete at best. Phillip Consalvo of the

Richmond River Gun Club is one suchsportsman. Phillip served his country in theAustralian Army serving a sixteen-monthdeployment in South Vietnam in 1968.

Three months after returning to AustraliaPhillip was a passenger in a vehicle, whichwas involved in an accident. He receivedinjuries, which left him a paraplegic. Aboutsix years ago, after trying many sports,Phillip took up clay target shooting with theRichmond River Gun Club. He now holds theposition of Assistant Secretary/Treasurer. Heis a tireless worker for the club and holds aprominent position with the RSL Sub Branchin Lismore. Members and visitors to our cluband in fact all who know Phillip have longsince failed to notice his wheelchair.

Phillip has a Honda Gold Wing Motorcyclewhich he has had professionally converted toa trike. Most Sunday's Phil loads up the GoldWing and heads off to a Gun Club some-where. Mostly in Northern New South Walesor Southern Queensland. His collapsiblewheelchair beside him on the trike and hisshotgun not far away. On a good day Phil ishard to toss, recently winning an event at theGrafton Gun Club with a score of 49/50.

Phillip constantly thanks and gives credit forall the help he receives while shootingaround the traps. Not necessary Phil, you arean inspiration to us all and clay targetshooting generally, surely must be the majorbenefactor.

Hot windy conditions met shooters who attended theWest Wyalong Clay Target Club's two day Trenchshoot on 28-29 January.

Three squads of shooters, some from as far away as Sydneyused the 75 target championship on Saturday as a practice forthe prestigious Central Zone Trench Championship to be heldon the following day.

Visiting shooters proved too good for the local hotshots withSydney based shooter Frank Minici winning overall onSaturday with a score of 90/100. Brewarrina shooter CliffOverton clinched AA Grade with 63/75, D Perri won A Grade,Club President, Graham Fairman was the B Grade winner andC Grade was won by Dozer Collins.

As expected the numbers improved for Sunday's Central ZoneTrench Championship although the weather was still very hotand windy.

Overnight the hardworking committee had reprogrammed the

15 trench traps so all was in readiness for 25 shooters in atten-dance. Although affected by the heat the Sydney shooterswere favourites to win the event but local shooter Clive Fostermade the most of the home ground advantage and with a verycreditable score of 88/100 won the overall Central Zone TrenchChampionship. A Grade was won by Frank Minici, CharlesStrike B Grade, Mick Mitton C Grade and veteran winner wasDoug Lindsay.

The High Gun calculated over the two days of shooting andsponsored by MDR Transport (Lindsay family) was won byFrank Minici shooting 133/150 targets.

In a fitting end to the day a Central Zone official made aspeech in which he congratulated the West Wyalong ClayTarget Club for the excellent organization of the two dayshoot.

The club is hosting an Open Day on Sunday 14 May for anyperson who is interested in trying clay target shooting asa sport.

West Wyalong Hosts Successful Zone Trench Shoot


One current approach to dealing with everyday problemsthat human's face is called “cognitive-behaviourtherapy". Put simply, this approach refers to our behav-iours being influenced or affected by our thinking. If ourthinking causes problem behaviours, then changing thethoughts will lead to behaviours changing.As a cognitive-behavioural therapist, this is important whenhelping clients deal with the issues they bring to counselling. Thisis also important in helping athletes improve their skills and per-formance. For example, if a shooter doesn't like right handswingers, then it's likely that his thoughts will tell him he cannotshoot them. This may cause him to tense up and doubt his abilityto shoot the target when he sees it. The combination of tensionand self-doubt will lead to him miss the target and reinforce hisbelief that he cannot shoot these targets.

Recently my wife, Barbara, bought a book called “Great Lies welive by” written by Dr Stephanie Burns. This book, is essentialreading as part of the Parelli Natural Horsemanship course thatBarbara is completing. This course looks at being a better horse-man by understanding how horses think and behave. StephanieBurns has a background in teaching adults and together withLinda and Pat Parelli they have put together a program to getpeople to enjoy their sport more by understanding both the horseand themselves more. The book is written in two parts and in thisarticle I want to examine the first part which explores the lies wetell ourselves that hinder our ability to learn, grow and develop.As you read down the list of lies that impact on our ability,remember that when we shoot we are in fact learning and tryingto improve: be it to win a national championship or achieve apersonal best. These lies get in the way of learning, improving andhaving fun.

Lie No. 1 I am stupid. Whilst you might think you are stupid, lookat what you have learned over your lifetime. We are all learningall the time. Believing that your stupid only gives you an excusenot to try to learn because you think that you will not be able toachieve what you are expecting.

Lie No. 2 I am a failure. Failing is an interesting concept. Whilstit is possible that we do not pass an exam, this doesn't mean thatwe are a failure. It may mean that we didn't prepare properly, wewere anxious, or we hadn't generalised the skills well enough.Burns believes that learning requires incorporating all the stepsneeded in moving from incompetence to competent. Gettingsomething wrong or failing may be an important step in eventu-ally learning the skill. Failure often occurs because we haven'tlearnt to think differently and we keep trying to do the same thingand thereby continue to make the same mistake.

Lie No. 3 I need talent. Most people who perform well do sobecause they were taught properly, practise often and persevere.They also have a belief in their own ability. Talent is somethingthat comes once you've learnt the skill because you are able toeffectively set goals and are persistent in achieving them.

Lie No. 4. Learning just happens. Learning happens when we make

the choice to improve a skill, concept or knowledge. This choicemay be a subconscious thought but it happens easier if we are ableto break the task up into smaller parts and learn the foundationskills first and then when these have been mastered move onto themore complicated parts. An important aspect is that learningoccurs faster and easier if we are having fun at the same time.

Lie No. 5. I am not bothered by what other people think of me. Isaid earlier in a previous article “what other think of me is noneof my business”. Whilst this is a great credo to live by it is verydifficult to attain because we all have expectations of our self andoften believe that we need to live up to the expectations of othersas well. Tim Gallwey, author of the Inner Game of Golf, believesthat to perform well we need to rid ourselves of the judgements ofour performance both our own and those of others.

Lie No.6. Concentrate on your mistakes and not on your achieve-ments. This has to be the greatest lie of all. If you focus on whatyou do wrong then you'll keep making the same mistake. For theshooter, it is important to look at what you are doing right whenyou hit the targets. Then explore what happened when you missed.Correct the problem and then go back to what you did right anddo that again. Focus on the success.

Lie No. 7. We all learn the same. It would be easy here to becomevery technical and explore differences in perception and informa-tion processing, learning styles; visual, auditory and kinaesthetic.But I won't because it probably doesn't matter. What matters isthat as a learner you are motivated, encouraged and enjoy theteaching/learning process.

Part of learning is to take risks. However formal education usuallyteaches us that risk taking is dangerous. By dangerous, I meandangerous to our self-esteem or self- concept. If you were to walkinto a kindergarten class and ask, “who can sing or who candraw?" The whole class would enthusiastically put up their hands.By year three, the same questions would be answered by only halfof the class putting up their hands. By year six, it may be only fiveor six children, and by year twelve, it would be one or two at best.To effectively learn, be prepared to take risks, try differently andhave fun. If we think that we can do something, then our thoughtswill lead to actions that will prove ourselves right.

Next month I will continue to explore Stephanie Burns book“Great Lies we live by" by looking at the eleven essential lessons.

Echuca Clay Target Club held it's fifth Sunday competitionon the 29th of January, usually reserved for Skeet & Towerevents and this Sunday was no exception. This type ofcompetition does not have as big a following as normal DTLshooting, but considering the day was about 40 degreesand humidity would have been off the scale, a reasonablenumber of shooters arrived to enjoy the day.

Scores seemed to be down in all events, and after shooting for awhile in that scorching sun understandably shooters concentrationwas tested to the limit, mid afternoon a storm front moved inwhich gave a bit of cloud cover relief much to the satisfaction of allshooters in attendance.

A 50 Target Skeet Championship was the first event shot over twolayouts and although there was some dedicated Skeet shooters com-peting not one possible was posted, also no shoot off was required asscores were able to determine all winning positions. 48/50 was thetop score and it gave Bendigo member Darren Hansford the Overall& AA grade trophy. A 1st was Deniliquin shooter Rob Collicoat on47/50. B 1st Echuca member Peter Sing on 45/50. C grade 1st wasanother Echuca shooter Ian Gebhardt with a score of 46/50.

Event two was a 25 Target Victorian North East Zone Single BarrelTower Championship. These events was never going to be easy withthe targets pre-set to 75 meters and a north wind pushing themanother 15, and with only one shot allowed scores were never goingto be brilliant. However two shooters managed to come in with onlytwo targets down. Rob Collicoat and Murray Roberts both on 23/25,and after a very short shoot off which lasted only five targets Rob lethis fifth escape giving Murray the Overall and A grade Sash andtrophy on a 28/30 score. B grade 1st was M Gribben 18/25, and RobCollicoat took out C grade with his 27/30 score. The Handicapper was

looking very closely at his scorecard for future adjustment after hisexcellent shooting.

The third event was a 25 Target DTL Pointscore. Rob Collicoat wasthis time shooting in DTL as a AA grade competitor collected thatgrades trophy on a clean 75/75 score. A grade was collected by MaxGribben on 73/75. Another perfect score shot by Echuca memberWarrick Kelvy gave him the B grade trophy 75/75. Warrick has onlybeen a shooter for a short time but he is improving so fast that heshould be in the top grade before too long. It is very pleasing forolder shooters to see new shooters like Warrick coming into theranks, and particularly shooting so well. C grade was not contestedin this DTL event which is a concern, although new shooters todayseem to be of a quality that ensures they only stay in C grade a veryshort time before moving up a grade. Another enjoyable day ofClay Target sport ended in early time at 5pm to allow travellers aneasy trip home.

Occasionally Pee Wee comes up with an idea worth pur-suing, not often mind you, but just occasionally. “SinceYour Barrels are down at John Mialls in Frankston, whydon't we drive down and pick them up. We could shootTrench and DTL on the Saturday at the Melbourne Gun Cluband shoot a bit of practice out at Frankston, then shooteither Mansfield or Rutherglen on the way home".Yep, just occasionally, flashes of brilliance.

So here's the plan. I had already arranged with Dennis Savage of theAlbury Club (super keen Skeet shooter) to receive a bit of one on oneskeet training on Wednesday afternoon. As I am off Pee Wee's Girlythings for life, it is the trusty sporter out of the safe and some openchokes.

I had a ball Dennis, thanks for the tips mate, at least now at clubshoots, when a round is on offer, I will have a basic idea how to setabout it.

On Thursday the plan was to head off early to get to Mialls fromHenty and try and duck the peak hour traffic on Springvale Road.Like all great plans it didn't get past the first hurdle. Pee Wee's part-ing comment on the Wednesday night still rings in my ears “makesure your on time mate” so I get around to Pee Wee's and the onlything moving is Miska, Pete's hunting dog.

So I sneak in like a burglar, hoping that none of the girls get up.Here's Pete, passed out, fully dressed, and snoring, (loudly).

We dropped into the Melbourne Gun Club on arrival in Lilydale andBob Buchan met us with the promise to open both the Trenchand DTL layouts for us on Friday morning, things were definitelylooking up.

We get out to John Mialls shop, check out the porting on the barrels,I brag to Pete about decent design and engineering on the Beretta.(It's not as much fun now that he seen the light.) John Miall says “Ifyou want to see decent design, have a look at these new Blaser F3things". Pee Wee, as I have stated in the past, is addicted to exoticshooting iron, so it was love at first sight. (John you may as wellorder one now in 14 3/4".)

We get directions to the Frankston Club, and I am keen to get the 682into action, however the boys out there are shooting sporting, sosporting it is. Had a ball, met a few good blokes and we rippedthrough a brick of PMC black crackers, trying to shoot this “looper".

Being a bit keen, we arrive out at Lilydale at 9.30 on Friday and Bobis ready to rock. Trench first. I should have stayed in Henty andmowed the green stuff. DTL, now I am jumping all over them. Lesson,don't shoot Trench and DTL at the same time. Pee Wee is blastingeverything with gay abandon but even he is shooting over the DTLbirds.

Competition Saturday. Trench and simultaneous DTL events, theleprechaun shoot marshal did us proud, juggled squads so we couldshoot both. “Knackered, totally dehydrated, lets get to the bar". Wasmy response to a “How did you go" from Bob.

Man that first beer tasted good.

It's a very civilised place the Melbourne Gun Club, licensed bar andyour choice of poison. They also run a very good line in tall stories

about breaks and the usual fishing/hunting stories, (and I thoughtReece Elhers at Albury could tell some whoppers.)

Sunday, the last day of holidays and it's Rutherglen on the wayhome. Rutherglen, who like the phoenix have risen from the ashesand all praise to Frank and his team getting this club back in action.Good shoot boys, well done. Pee Wee hates that battue you blokesthrow for fun, it's good to know there is something he can't shoot.So there it is, skeet, sporting, trench and DTL and it is all good.

Reckon we need a bar at Wagga now, I wonder how much spare AndySanders has got in his back pocket.

Cheers, keep knocking chips off 'emChris Levitzke

Editors Note: All in good time.

The adventures of a coupleof ordinary blokes inthe Eastern Riverina

There are many occasions where the question of footposition occurs and the question of when a violation hasoccurred. Most Referees are able to use commonsense butwe seem to get many requests for interpretation of theRule.In the first instance we have a shooter with one of hisfeet outside the shooting mark. His front foot is as closeas possible to the actual firing mark allocated to him buthis other foot is well back and protrudes into the handi-cap mark behind him. You are aware that there is arequirement for the shooter to have his feet within thesquare. In this case you know that the shooting square inquestion is of the Regulation 1 Square Metre. You nowwant to make a judgement and ruling on this matter forTrapshooting. Is it legal or do you caution the shooter andcall Lost Target if he continues.

IT'S YOUR CALL.If you rule that the shooter can continue in this manner, youare quite correct.

Looking at Rule 1.10(e) it requires a shooter to have his feetwithin the 1 metre square shooting mark allocated to him.However, we should also be aware that in many of the oldershooting facilities some of the shooting squares are less than1 square metre. Sound judgement and a cautionary approach toapparent stance violations are very necessary in these instancesbecause the shooter is entitled to have a full square metre inwhich to stand and shoot. The major violation is where hisfront foot is forward of his shooting mark.

As an addendum, I had an instance referred to me for regradinga shooter who had a flinching problem and who, after missingwith his first barrel involuntarily stepped forward anddischarged his second barrel with his foot forward of the mark.The result of the second barrel naturally was Lost Target.

If you have any questions regarding rules or situations where youwere unsure please write to the ACTA. I look forward to hearingfrom you.

It’s Your

Father and son team Robert and Jack Collicoat of Deniliquinheld off all shoot off contenders, to be triumphant in thefinal event, the 20 pair Deauville Doubles Championship.This event was one of four held at Echuca Clay Target Clubon the weekend of the Southern 80 Ski Race held at Echucaeach February. It is very pleasing to all shooters to see afamily team win these kinds of events especially when oneof the team is still a junior shooter. Congratulations toRob and Jack on their win.Numbers of competitors were down a little with five full squadsattending, but on this weekend a lot of families go to the ski racestogether, as the event is a very high profile race, so 30 shooters is areasonable turnout for the days competition.

Quality of shooters certainly was not down, with good scoresrecorded all day, Steve Atkins and Jamie Elliot went to 155 targetsin the difficult Continental event to get an overall winner declared.The weather probably helped the good scores along, with about30 degrees, clear sky, and a gentle breeze making for very niceconditions to shoot competition in.

With 120 targets to be shot on the day, office staff had the pressureon, but they were up to it, even overlapping events to keep theshooters active, and to their credit the shoot and the presentationswere all over by 5pm. That in itself is surprising as although an 11amstart was advertised the first squad was not ready until 11.45.

Full results of the competition are as follows. Event one a 25 targetTrench Graded Cash, A grade Steve Atkins, B grade Mike Harbor, andC grade Ron Cugley.

Event two, a 25 target Continental Double Barrel Championship,Overall & AA grade Steve Atkins 155/155, AA 2nd Jamie Elliot154/155, A 1st Steve Harbor 39/40, A 2nd Ron Traill 30/31, B 1stWarrick Kelvy 24/25, B 2nd Mike Harbor 22/25, C 1st Simon Boyd23/25, C grade 2nd was Zac Atkins 22/25.

Event Three, a 15 pair Double Rise Championship, Overall & AAgrade was Jamie Elliot on 28/30, AA 2nd Andrew Evens 37/40, A 1stIan Phillips 25/30, A 2nd Peter Gobbo 25/30, B 1st Jack Collicoat ,

The main event today was a 100 tar-get graded Championship. Skeetshooting in Victoria never enjoys abig turn up, I think due to a lack ofsponsorship. In this case we enjoyedgood support from: Tony Abela,Horsley Park Gun Shop. Tom Mills,Tough Tyres, Ferntree Gully. Peterand Sue Onley, Onley Constructions.Colin Whyte, Mordialloc AutoSalvage. Len Steele, Armoury andAmmunition Service, Dandenong.John Mialls, John Mialls BrileyAustralia.

We also enjoyed a ripper barbecuethanks to great bloke and club member,Keith Staggers who provided the meatand to my wife, Diana and son Damian,who did a great job cooking and servingit up.

The reward for all this effort was 9squads which we were very pleasedwith. President Paul Calvi spotted apotential disaster in my organisationwhen at 2.30 we were only on the lastsquad of the first 50 targets.

Mathoura Gun Club on 27th Januarywas wet and wild weather was on theagenda with a black sky and inter-mittent rain, 16mm earlier and moreto come. None of the four squads ofshooters who attended minded as thewet clothes and the breeze gave somerelief from the hot, humid conditions.Most thought the humidity was on apar with Darwin at this time of theyear. Apart from the occasional light-ning the black moonless sky made aperfect background for the white tar-gets, ensuring some good scores to beshot on the night.

The first event was a 10 target Pointscoreand three shooters scored the 30/30 possible,Bruce Cook (Deniliquin), Rob Nisbet andWarrick Kelvy, both from Echuca.

The 2nd event was a 25 target Pointscore,and there were two shooters on one pointdown, Rob Nisbett an AA grade, and up andcoming Mathoura shooter Tim Maher still a Cgrade shooter, but probably not for long as hehas improved his scores dramatically. Theshoot off for overall only lasted another fivetargets with Tim using a second barrel to givethe Overall & AA grade honour to Robert on89/90. Tim collected C grade with an 88/90score. Deniliquin Junior Jack Collicoat pickedup the B grade trophy on a score of 70/75.

The final event was a 15 target DoubleBarrel, and Bruce Cook & Rob Nisbet on pos-sibles shot off for 1st & 2nd. Bruce took firston 21/21, and Rob missed his 21st to collect2nd. Third went to local shooter HarryO'Connor, (who was just awarded MurrayShire, citizen of the year) after a one-targetshoot off scored 15/16. Everything ransmoothly on the night, even Presentationswere all over before 11pm, giving travellersa welcome early night home.

Dear Your Say,

I have felt compelled to write in and oppose those letters suggest-ing that we change back to the old angles and distances in DTLshooting.

It seems to me that there are a handful of what I believe to be someof the longer standing members who have nothing better to dothan to sit down and write letters because the sport has become tocompetitive for them.

I am not the only person who is bewildered by how throwing hard-er targets can possibly improve the enjoyment or quality of oursport. I believe our sport is in great condition and attendances at allthe major shoots (in NSW at least) are up.

Making the shooting harder will not improve the grading as it willonly make it easier to miss targets and drop down a grade! Makingthe targets harder will not bring more shooters into the sport orincrease the numbers of shooters at a shoot, it is more likely tohave a negative effect if anything.

I have to be honest, I don't know anyone who can go out and

shoot every target all the time and on the same token. When I lookthrough the results in the back of the CTSN there are still plenty ofpeople missing targets, so once again can't understand what thefuss is about.

In this day and age many sports have changed to become moredynamic and enjoyable - like the rugby league introducing the10m rule to allow for more tries, and the cricket grounds continual-ly bringing in the boundary ropes to allow for more runs.

If were are going to go back to the old angles and the old distancewe may as well go back the old hand fed White Flyer traps thatthrow the full faced targets as well.

Guys, CLAY TARGET SHOOTING HAS MOVED ON WITH THETIMES! The sooner that we all move on forward with it the better it will be.

Chett Auditore51789

I am glad that Bill Allen has bought up the issue of shooting insandals (March 06, Pg 54 CTSN). There is no doubt that this issuehas probably been discussed at a number of Clubs and some mem-bers may wear or attempt to wear shoes with no upper protectionwhilst shooting.

The ACTA Shooting Rules clearly indicates a requirement in respectto footwear and dress in general (Rule 4.14j). In interpreting thisruling, shooting in thongs/scuffs is prohibited. There are no 'defini-tions' within the Rules to assist in interpreting the Rules in general.As this is the case and Mr Allen has specifically referred to sandals,one must turn to the Oxford Dictionary to get a meaning for thisword. The dictionary clearly states that a sandal in part is, 'a kindof shoe, consisting of a sole of leather or other material fastened tothe foot by thongs or straps'. From this definition it can clearly beseen that sandals belong to the 'thong family' and therefore shouldnot be worn on the tracks whilst shooting.

One could only imagine the criticism that would be levelled at theAssociation or the embarrassment to members in a Civil Courtproceeding should a person be seriously injured whilst wearinginappropriate footwear. I would expect blame would be levelledtowards club management for allowing open footwear to be worn.Therefore the onus is on management to ensure that the Rules areadhered to at all times.

P.S. I'm sure that 'Roman Sandals' (Pg. 58) would not meet thecriteria also.

Dear Your Say

Last month I spoke of the problems with our current grading system - identifying them and rectifying them.

Now I would like to finish this submission by detailing a systemthat will benefit clubs, and will give some incentive to lower gradeshooters to better themselves.

As previously mentioned, most clubs put on identical trophies forwinners of graded events. Because of this, it is not unusual to hearsome shooters say they don't see any benefit in going up a gradebecause the trophies are still the same. Now, if you knew you couldwin a lot more by going up a grade, would you stay in a low gradeand shoot for a pittance? I don't thinks so! Unless of course you area “Professional A, B or C Grader” with more money than sense,who picks and chooses which events to lose, and which ones towin, or try to win.

Now to my suggestion that can benefit clubs and shooters alike.

In order to give our new shooters (novices) and the lower grade(C and B) shooters some incentive, there must be a reward for goingup a grade, and there is only one real way of doing that - byputting on cash prizes.

Now some clubs already do that, but they still put on equalamounts for each grade, which doesn't solve the problem and is notall that conducive to self-improvement.

The following however, is an example of what I would call a'progressive percentage prize system' and is I believe, somethingmost clubs should have a good look at, or better still, trial for saythree, six or even 12 months so they can see the benefits.

A club puts on a shoot where 50 shooters nom up for a gradedD/B event off 15 metres and pay $12.00 each, giving the club apool of $600. The club then takes sixty percent, $360, to covercosts etc which leaves a prize pool of $240. They then divide theprize pool up as follows:

First Only First SecondAA Grade - 35% = $84.00 $50.00 $34.00A Grade - 30% = $72.00 $43.00 $29.00B Grade - 20% = $48.00 $29.00 $19.00C Grade - 15% = $36.00 $22.00 $14.00

The figures for first and second are calculated using 60/40 of firstonly and rounded to the nearest dollar.

The main advantages of this system are:

1. Club Managements don't have to spend unnecessary time andeffort shopping all over town looking for trophies that are differentfrom last weeks/months competition - cash is the prize.

2. There is less work for the Club Secretary or Treasurer to do,which makes this system more efficient and makes their jobs lessdemanding.

3. The more shooters who nom up, the more the club has for aprize pool, and the more that can be won by shooters.

4. Shooters love cash as a prize because cash pays for, or goestowards paying for noms for future shoots, ammunition, petrol,food and any other shooting related expense.

Finally, I look forward to feedback on these suggestions over theMarch and April issues of the CTSN, and hopefully other shootersmight come up with even better ways of doing things that benefitclubs and shooters alike.

Glen Innes Sapphire Shoot

History was made in Tasmania on December 7th, 2005when the inaugural School Boys Competition was held.

The Tasmanian Gun Clubs jun-ior program to attract youngshooters to the club is right ontrack. The gun club now hasabout 20 students from ScotchOakburn College, LauncestonChurch Grammar School and St.Patrick’s College taking part in aschoolboy’s competition.

The program has been runningfor a couple of years teachingyoung lads the basics of claytarget shooting. They are taughtsafety, confidence with firearms,as well as how to shoot clay tar-gets. Both Trap and Skeet areincluded in their program.

This was the first time that a schoolboy’s competition has beenheld in Tasmania.

Launceston Grammar School won the first inter-school competi-tion, winning the John Lord Shield. Team members were WilliamMcBride, Sam Archer and Hamish Dowling.

The competition was named in honour of club stalwart John Lord,who was the prime mover in getting the schoolboys programoperational.Most of the schoolboys have been attending once amonth to practice under the guidance of Club Coach Geoff Clarkeand other club committee members.

Exceptionally good shooting was the order of the day, with verycompetitive competition amongst the boys. Each school wants tobe the first to win the shield.

The schoolboy’s competition was open to both boys and girls, butso far only boys had taken up the opportunity.

As part of the competition, individual grade winners were

A Grade - Jake Oliver, B Grade - William Gibson, C Grade -Charles Lord

Also a trophy donated by Geoff Clarke for the most improvedschoolboy over the past 12 months was awarded to John Bell.
