2 Ducks on the Rice On the last weekend in October six shooters from Canberra went to a property near Narrandera where we have shot many times in the past to help cull ducks on the rice. There were a lot of ducks about and we shot nearly 100 in a couple of days. With 42 birds, Paddo was high gun, but the prize for top yarn spinner went to Russell Stephenson, who knocked down a blackie that was 60 yards away when he shot it on Friday night and 100 yards away when we all went home on Sunday. Russell was using super XXX magnums and turned a couple of summersaults from the recoil. The duck fell like a stone from a huge height and bounced 6 feet in the air after hitting the water. It must have been KO'd by the lead falling on its head from an even huger height because, reinvigorated by the cold water, it then flapped its wings and flew to Paddo who finished it off. F&G Nationals A small group, of members travelled to Echuca to experience the atmosphere with nearly 500 shooters and compete in the nationals. While they did not bring home any of the booty they said it was well run and a worthwhile experience. Sporting Clays October The weather was near perfect 28 degrees, hardly a cloud in the sky and a light cooling breeze welcomed 23 local shooters attending Canberra s October Sporting Clays. The New Shooter Sunday (ran each first Sunday of the month) has started to bear fruit with six new shooters attending and the new faces were made most welcome. In the past we have managed to get by with one layout, however, the growing numbers suggest a second layout will be required in the near future. (Fortunately Club member Dave McCarthy is just completing a new set of shooting stands which will soon be put to good use.) Coordinator Rodney Kneipp had set a challenging course with a wide variety of targets which CICTC Newsletter - December 2011 Page 2
