Unlike last year, the weather was a bit kinder to us, with only one day being a bit troublesome. All three clubs put their best teams up to the task of taking home the trophy. This year we all had a little incentive placed on our agenda. Werribee / Victorian put on a Overall High Gun sash in memory of young Robert Iacovella, who tragically died in a car accident some 5 months earlier. Like last year, the shoot started out with some great scores locked in and it promised to be a great competition. Results: 1st Werribee / Victorian 500 pts 2nd Veneto / Abruzzo 418 pts 3rd Metropolitan 391 pts Day 3: Date : Sunday 27th Oct. Venue: Veneto/Abruzzo Weather: Fine, overcast.

The RED GUM, TRI CLUB Trophy, again, goes to the boys from Werribee / Victorian clay target club, with a score of 1333 pts. Veneto / Abruzzo clay target shooters, came in 2nd on 1194 pts, and the team from metropolitan clay target club finished 3rd with 728 pts. The Robert Iacovella Memorial High Gun sash was awarded to Anthony Psaila, scoring 286 pts. Seven points behind and pushing him all the way, was fellow team member Gary Went on 279 pts. Roberts Father, Pino, was on hand to say a few words and present the sash and trophy to the winners. After presentations, it was good to see everyone go up to Pino and convey their thoughts and best wishes. A big thankyou must go out to firstly, Pino Iacovella for coming down and spending the day with us, and secondly the clubs and people involved for putting the time and effort into making this event a great shoot. Bring on A Psaila. Page 12 Australian Clay Target Shooting News June 2003

A 12 hour stopover was made bearable by the generosity of Singaporean shooter Michael Kwa who kindly picked us up from the airport, showed us over their new shooting range, took us to lunch then back to the airport for our final leg to New Delhi. After arriving at p.m., clearing customs and an eye opening ride under police escort, we finally arrived at our hotel at 1.00am. ISSF rifle and pistol facilities. Firearms and ammunition were stored in an armory and the whole complex was kept under armed military guard 24 / 7. Double trap training went well with some very high scores recorded despite the fact that the new delayed release rule was only brought into effect this year. There were vast arrays of techniques being utilised to try to master the new rule and it won t take long for the better shooters to work it all out. The Australian team at the hotel. One night in that hotel convinced us that finding alternative accommodation was a priority and we were able to check into a hotel 500 metres from the official one. Double trap winners: A. Almaktoum (UAE) 1st, A. Vella (Aus) 2nd and R. Rathore (Ind) 3rd. Double Trap competition results 1. Almaktoum UAE = Vella AUS = 186 ( ) 3.

The range consists of three trap and three separate skeet layouts all equipped with new Mattarelli machines. The background was sparse yellow grass over brown dirt out to around 100m then a ridge of small trees and shrubs. It also boasts the full range of Three trap and skeet ranges. Teams 1. Australia Italy India 396 All six finalists had shot the same qualifying score of 141, which made for a very exciting final. The lead changed many times until Almaktoum finally emerged the winner of the event and an Olympic quota spot for the UAE. Congratulations to Adam on winning the silver medal which was his second in this discipline in successive world cups. The Australian double trap team gold medal winners. The next day was unofficial training for trap and skeet, as it was Page 16 Australian Clay Target Shooting News June 2003

Needless to say we trained in the morning then spent the later afternoon in the hotel and well away from the festivities. Official training went well with the skeet shooters in particular showing some terrific form. The skeet scores were going to be high as the targets are always in the skyline and there was little wind to dramatically affect them. Cypriot Achilleos who took the Olympic quota for his country.

20 What a run Adam is having, gold at the World Cup Final in Trap in October, gold in Trap and silver in Double Trap at the Perth World Cup in early March, now silver in Trap and silver in Double Trap at the India World Cup. Five events for two gold and three silver! History in the making as no one can recall a shooter winning two medals at one World Cup, let alone achieving this rare feat twice in succession. He is certainly hot at the moment and these latest results has seen his world ranking jump to number one in trap and number two in double trap. With Russell now ranked number three in doubles and Michael five in trap, we now have in effect four shooters in the top five world rankings in two disciplines - an absolutely stunning achievement by our shooters and proves that we really are one of the leading ISSF countries in the world. A fantastic start to the international season and with Adam and Russell s wins in Perth it now gives us our two olympic trap and one double trap quotas.

21 MATHOURA SHOOTS AT NIGHT Mathoura Gun Club on Friday the 28th of March and shooters arrived to compete for the 2 sashes and the cash divide included in the night s three events. Scores had to be good as the evening was perfect for shooting with temperature in the low 20s and no wind whatsoever, which was good as the program was a difficult one with two events being continental throws and the last a pointscore event. Losing three points for the loss of only one target makes it extremely hard to shoot a perfect score shooting in the night. Shooters ranged from Moama, Echuca, Melbourne and Local, they were all pleased with the range of trophies that included cordless drills and furniture fittings. The evening s events turned out to be a battle between the clubs president Roger Kerslake and his son Ben Kerslake ending with them winning an event each. Roger showing Ben how to shoot by taking out the Overall in the first Event the continental and Ben turning the tables by winning the Point Score event taking out Overall. Full results on the night were as follows. Event one. A 10 Target Continental Double Barrel Eye Opener. Five shooters shooting the possible, R Lovell (Melbourne) B Ireland (Mathoura) B Kerslake (Moama) M Roberts (Echuca) R Kerslake. Event Two. A 25 Target Continental Double Barrel. Overall & 2 Grades Taking Overall & B Grade after a lengthy shoot off was R Kerslake on a score of 46/47, A Grade first was Corad Robb (Echuca) 27/29, C Grade was local shooter H O Conner with a 25/27. Event Three. A 25 Target Points Score, Overall and two Grades. Overall and B Grade was Ben Kerslake with a good score of 73/75. A Grade first was taken by Conrad Robb after a short shootoff with M Roberts and a score of 74/78, C Grade was again local shooter H O Conner (snow) having a good night on 67/75. Local member Bill Simpson won the raffle. Everyone enjoyed the nights shoot and was thanked by President Roger Kerslake for attending, also thanking the ladies for Catering.

22 CUZZO S RAMBLINGS June 2003 The strangest thing happened this year during the shoot-off for the National Double Barrel. It had taken about 280 targets to reduce 130 possibles down to one squad. Shortly afterwards Glen Kable indicated he didn t want to play any more and then Sam Clifford decided that a 300-break badge was all he wanted. This left just four protagonists at the next shell break. However four more worthy combatants would be hard to find in the Southern Hemisphere. Anyone who reads my column regularly will know that Ray Everett is already a living legend. Kim Nealon had previously won both the National Pointscore and the Overall High-Gun. Roger Duthie is a multiple Silver Australia Badge recipient, a past winner of the National Double Barrel, and a bloke who has proven he can shoot six or seven hundred if he needs to. And last but certainly not least was Russell Mark, whose shooting credentials need no elaboration and whose name is a household word in this country both in and out of the shooting fraternity. 372 targets and all s well. Thus I am sure that most of the many spectators assumed we were in for a great day, that the attrition process would be long and drawn out, and that a large score would be the eventual outcome. And so it seemed for another couple of boxes of shells. But then a visual spectacle occurred, the likes of which may never be seen again (at least not in a major DB shoot-off anyway). These four Iron Men reduced themselves to one winner in the space of a single target each. Ever the consummate analyst, shortly afterwards I wondered what went through each persons mind as this pantomime unfolded in front of them. So over the next couple of hours, I chatted with each of them to gain their individual perspectives. Later it dawned upon me that this aspect may be of interest to others, so here is an abridged rendition of those conversations. Ray Everett told me that prior to starting the rot so to speak, he was very happy with the way things were proceeding, having been having a quite mediocre week by his standards. Immediately after missing his own target, he assured me that the first thing that came into his mind was the word Knickers. This is obviously some type of unique NewZealandism that probably does not bear translating into Australian, lest I fall foul of the censors. But when Kim Nealon immediately missed alongside him, his next thought was Goodness me, I still have a chance to get onto the box. However when Roger Duthie then followed suit and shot two holes in the sky, he assured me that he could barely believe how his own personal position has so suddenly, considerably and unexpectedly improved out of sight. When asked if he ever considered that Russell might also miss, he assured me that the thought never even crossed his mind and that anyone who doubted Russell s ability to shoot under pressure obviously knew nothing about the game and was confusing mental strength with the law of averages. When asked for his overall view of the shoot-off result he assured me that it is a well documented fact that God loves to show off in front of a crowd! Kim Nealon, on the other hand, had a much simpler perspective of the drama that continued to unfold around him. He told me that after Ray missed his target he was extremely confident of a good personal outcome thinking something along the lines of one down, two to go. He said that he was absolutely convinced that he was going to hammer his next target. However after emptying two perfectly good shells to no avail at a left hand quarterer, he was absolutely stunned and that his first thought was Far Out or something similar. When Roger then missed in turn beside him, his surprise turned into almost dazed disbelief and as Russell slowly converted his three set points into the equivalent of a 12-gauge Wimbledon Title, his mind was struggling to collate the information that his eyes and ears were sending it. Although not wishing to appear to be making excuses, he said that this feeling of unreality stayed with him for quite a while and probably contributed to his early exit from the ensuing reshoot-off. When asked for his overview of the proceedings he said (about two hours later) that it still felt sort-of artificial and that it would probably take a while for it to really sink in. One of the many things I like about Roger Duthie is his similarity to Steve Atkins. What you see is what you get and if you can t handle a straight answer, don t ask the question. When asked for his thoughts after Ray Everett missed, he replied: Beauty! That s one less to worry about. And when Kim missed straight afterwards his initial response was: Now I m laughing, it s down to just Russell and I and I have to be a real chance for another National Double Barrel. When asked to elaborate, Roger told me that he had been shooting very well lately, that he was happy with the way he had shot yesterday up until stumps and that he was very pleased with the way that he had restarted again this morning and with his form thus far. He also said that although Russell obviously has tremendous talent, his absence from continual DTL shooting was showing in the way he was hitting his targets and the number of seconds he was pulling. He went on to say that after Ray and Kim both missed he felt calm and confident and there was no doubt in his mind that he would not only hit the next target but that he would also go on to give Russell a good run for his money. After the referee announced the result of Kim s shot, he said that he felt no reason to rush into his own shot and paused momentarily to take a deep breath before continuing. In relation to missing his target, he said that he felt that it lifted both times as he fired, causing him to shoot under it with both barrels. Page 20 Australian Clay Target Shooting News June 2003

23 After the referee announced a less than satisfactory outcome for his marksmanship effort, Roger said that initially he was dumbfounded, but as the sad realisation gradually dawned upon him, his first thought was: what a lot of hard work and effort had just gone down the drain! Then as Russell prepared to shoot, all he could think about was what a gift he was about to receive and through gritted teeth he mentally pictured himself handing Russell the Royal Blue Sash on a silver platter. He summed up his overview of the situation in one word. Unbelievable! My interview with Russell was longer and much more profound that I had expected. Also the frame of reference from which he received his version of the events as they unfolded was completely different to the rest. While everyone else could not believe their eyes, Russell struggled to believe his ears. Being the last shooter and having just shot on lane five, the whole scenario played out as he was walking across to lane one without looking up at the other shooters targets, which totally deprived him of the visual spectacle that had everyone else s eyes bulging. Russell told me that by the time he had dismounted his gun, removed the shell from the top barrel and turned around, he heard Ray fire two shots. When the referee did not immediately announce the result he simply assumed that Ray had shot a chip and drowned out the referee with his second shot. When however, after a couple of paces, the referee quietly announced lost with almost an audible inflexion of amazement, he felt a wry smile cross his face as if to mentally agree. Yes, it is always surprising when a shooter of Ray s calibre misses at a crucial time. His immediate thought was totally predictable. Well, now it s down to three. Upon reaching the middle of the field and hearing Kim fire both barrels, he assured me that it definitely came as a surprise when the referee immediately called lost in a much more authoritive tone, as the situation now clearly had his undivided attention also. His immediate thought was: This now bears out the prediction I made when we got down to one squad. Roger and myself for the last two. He said he thought this because not only is Roger a great shooter, but also having previously won the event, he would be calmer and more confident than the others. However when he heard Roger fire two shots and the referee instantly called lost so loudly that it surprised him, a kaleidoscope of things instantly flashed through his mind. The first was that because on the previous occasion in Perth in 1980 he had won the National Double Barrel in very controversial circumstances, he had always hoped not only to win the event again, but also to do it in a very ordinary fashion that would not invoke either discussion or debate. He said he clearly remembers thinking that although the former now seemed almost a fait accompli, the latter part of that ambition was totally shot to pieces. With a laugh he added that the other thing that suddenly struck him was the significance of the number three. Last time it was three ammunition misfires and now it was three unprecedented consecutive misses. When I asked why he hesitated so long before firing the deciding shot, he confirmed that it was the result of all these abstract thoughts occupying his mind and that he had to intentionally clear it, and concentrate fully on one more shot, in order that he did not make the situation any more memorable than it already was. And as for his first thought after winning, he assured me that it was sorrow for the other three guys, who now had the unenviable task of having to go back out and try to make the best of this fiasco. During the course of our conversation, Russell had mentioned how emotional his father Brian had become on the previous occasion in 1980, actually begging the relevant people in authority to forgo the Malfunction Rule and allow the shoot-off to continue, so that either his son or Doug Smith could attain a real and moral victory, rather than a hollow technical one. Although Brian once used to be a fixture at the Trap Nationals, performing many roles including MC at presentations and chief joke teller, as well as representing Olin-Winchester, he is rarely seen around the circuit these days. However, as luck or fate would have it, he was on the grounds to Unfortunately.... one target later. see his son fulfil his destiny and I could not resist the temptation to also gain his insight into the situation. Unable to hide either his obvious satisfaction with the day s proceedings or his insatiable sense of humour, when asked what he thought after the others had all missed, he said I thought - In a minute Russell will put a couple of bullets in his gun and then those other three blokes will be in a lot of trouble. And in relation to his overview of the drama, he added with a laugh I always said Russell was a lucky shooter. As for my thoughts, I reckon that the only thing missing was for Rod Serling to have walked out onto ground five and announced that none of this was really happening and that it was just an extract from The Twilight Zone! On a more serious note I was tickled to death to see Steve Atkins single-handedly resurrecting Newton Thomas s custom of wearing his Silver Australia Badges on McIntosh Day. If I attend next year s shoot, my three will be proudly adorning my jacket. And on a lighter note, I now need to find a new name for Mark (I will win a National Title) McInnes, as his triumph in the Double Rise has pretty much invalidated the old one.

24 Page 22 MONARTO -ALEXANDRA CLAY TARGET CLUB INC. ANNIVERSARY SHOOT -22nd & 24th MARCH, 2003 Australian Clay Target Shooting News This was to be a very special weekend in more ways than one and Club members had worked hard in readiness for what was to be a memorable shoot. The weather for the weekend had been forecast as fine and clear, around 25 degrees C so we had high hopes that we were in for some good weather. Well, we managed the fine but it was mostly cloudy and very chilly with most shooters donning warm jackets to keep out the southerly wind. Saturday, 22nd March - The first event on the programme, a 10 target D/B E/O C/D saw 10 possible scores. Event 2 - Gilbert Motors, 25 target Anniversary Handicap went to Peter Quire who shot 32/34 over Jeff Higgins on 31/34 and Peter Kay whose score was 28/29. Peter Quire losing a metre just in time to go off to the Nationals - sorry Peter! Event 3 - Lower Murray Grit Blasting 25 target S/B Championship went to Club man Robbie Clark, he shot a 39/39. A grade went to Brian August 25/25, B grade to Peter Quire on 21/25 and C grade went to Rocco Spinella 20/25 who was using a new and very special gun. Event 4 - Monarto-Alexandra 25 target P/S Championship, again went to Robbie Clark who was beginning to look like he was on fire and we were expecting great things from him over the weekend. He shot an 80/81 taking overall and AA grade. A grade went to Brian August 74/75, Peter Harris took B grade with a 67/75 and Rocco Spinella again took out C grade 64/75. Shot in conjunction with this event was the Shell Team event and here Monarto-Alexandra took the trophy with team members Peter Hendy, Robbie Clark, Andrew Mules, Peter Kay and Peter Harris. (I am secretly looking for some members to join our club with a different christian name- we have five by the name of Peter and every time you call one, they all come running!). This event ended our first day of competition and by now most people were freeeezing including me who had dressed according to the weather man s report - silly me, it took me about 3 hours to thaw out once I got home. Sunday dawned and a grey, cloud filled sky greeted those shooters who had come our way. Shooters spirits however were not dampened and an enthusiastic crowd took to the tracks for the start of the competition. Event 5 - the Clem Thomas Memorial 30 mixed target Championship saw Jeff Higgins take out AA grade and Overall, he shot a score of 80/80. Frank Caltagirone took out A grade 68/70, John Pope won B grade 48/50 and Rocco Spinella, still on a high from day one, took out C grade with his score of 43/50. A sumptuous lunch of barbecued steak, sausages, chicken patties and shasliks, baked potatoes, salad and a glass of wine was taken by all in a short break from the shooting. Event 6 - Monarto-Alexandra 25 target D/B Championship saw A grade shooter Frank Caltagirone take out the championship with his score of 94/94. AA grade went to Dino Oliviero with a 93/94, B grade went to Barry Bees Pobke who shot 62/63 and that man Rocco Spinella did it again, taking out C grade with a 24/25. I think the handicapper will be keeping a close eye on you Rocco. Prior to the last event on the programme all shooters and visitors gathered outside of the Club house and there, in a moving ceremony, John Byrnes presented me with the Presidential Medal (posthumous) in recognition of my late husband Graham s contribution to the development of clay target shooting. Having been awarded only 11 times in the past 20 years and at no time during the last 3 years, I was honoured to accept the Presiden- Ruth Michell with John Byrnes. tial Medal on his behalf. I had been asked to go to Wagga Wagga to the DTL Nationals where this medal was to have been presented to me but I instead opted to have it presented in front of family and friends at the Club where Graham was a member, committee man and past President. Following the medal presentation, event no 7, the inaugural Graham Michell Memorial 25 target P/S Championship was held and this was undoubtedly the one event the shooters had come to win. In the Club house stood a beautiful perpetual trophy, kindly donated by Luca Scribani Rossi and Beretta Australia, made of wood and lead crystal. A small replica would be given to the winner. One by one the long faces came into the Club house telling me of the target that got away or the second barrel that they had to use and I was beginning to think that no one would get the perfect score...and then there it was, staring me in the face, and it couldn t have gone to a more appropriate and deserving person, Bob Andrews of the Bordertown Gun Club, the person who had filled the gap left on the A.C.T.A. s National Executive when Ruth Michell with Bob Andrews and Dick Ayres. June 2003

25 Graham had died. Bob Andrews taking out overall and AA grade with a perfect score of 75/75. Two A graders sitting on 74/75 went head to head in a shoot off, Phil Johncock and Frank Caltagirone and Frank was finally victorious shooting a 104/105. Ian Campbell took out B grade with a 74/75 and Don Schultz, the 83 year old veteran took out C grade shooting a 69/75. After a very emotional and busy day somehow I had forgotten to add up the team scores held in conjunction with event 7 and I learned at presentation time that there were two teams that had tied for the G.& R. Michell trophy. Who was going out to shoot it off? Instead we decided that as this was a special day both teams would have their names engraved on the trophy and as it was Graham s and my trophy, I OK d the suggestion. The two teams involved were of course Monarto-Alexandra: P. Hendy, A. Mules, P. Mules, P. Kay and R. Clark 354/375 and SAGC No 2: D. Inge, B. August, K. Prescott, C. Jacobs and D. Halikiopoulos 354/375. Presentation time was kind of different - lots of laughter, quite a few tears and as Dick Ayres said Definitely not boring! After a bit of a debacle the trophies were eventually sorted out and given to their respective owners but if the person who switched the cards on the trophies does it again - there could be a mutiny! The hi-light of the presentation was the handing out of the Graham Michell Memorial perpetual trophy to Bob Andrews. The magnificent trophy donated by Beretta Australia, was presented by Dick Ayres, Beretta Australia s representative. Dick spoke briefly of Graham s involvement with Luca Scibani Rossi and congratulated Bob on winning the trophy in it s inaugural year. Bob not only gets his name engraved on the overall perpetual but he received a small replica of the perpetual to keep. Grade winners on this event received as an additional trophy, the David Austin rose Graham Thomas, to plant in their gardens at home in remembrance.

On behalf of the Club I would like to thank our sponsors - Gilbert Motors (Strathalbyn and Mount Barker), John and Ruth Bretag of Lower Murray Grit Blasters (who would have been present, but owing to the fact that they are a couple of petrol heads, they were away in Adelaide watching the Clipsal 500 car race), Peter and Jacki Hendy, Tony Lange, Tony Famiglietti, Peter Shepherd, Michael Adams, Peter X ( who shall remain nameless but he will know who he is), the Thomas family and of course my own Michell family.

26 AUSTRALIAN VETERANS GAMES WAGGA WAGGA WAGGA GUN CLUB Old & new friends were made once again when over 100 shooters participated in, the Seventh Australian Veterans Games Wagga Wagga. The games were under way at the Wagga Gun Club from 12th March to the 15th March With shooters coming from as far away as Queensland & South Australia, the number of entries for the Veterans Games far exceeded the expectations of the organizing committee of this biannual Event. Mrs Julie Elphick, President of the Australian Veterans Games Wagga Wagga was due to open the games but for unforeseen circumstances prevented her from opening the games.

29 MATER DAI CHARITY SHOOT Monday the 27th of January was a great day for shooting, the weather had become a little cloudy and the temperature was down to 28 degrees compared to 40+ temperatures the 3 days before. Cecil Park was ready for the Mater Dai Charity Shoot to help raise N. Xenos, overall event one with V. Gatt sponsor, Debbie and Christian from the Mater Dai Foundation. the money for the disabled children, 70 shooters had nominated for the various events and at 10.00am the first shot was fired by Sue Nichols. The first event was a 25 Target Continental Double Barrel Championship sponsored by V.G. Auto Paints alias Vince Gatt, Vince is known well around trap shooters for his fine taste in fashion statements. We came down to 4 possibles, first to miss was Paul Farrugia, then Alan Jones (not the racing driver) then our visitor from Orange, Sam Barbagallo, apparently his moustache had blown up in front of his eyes because of the wind and lost sight of the target! So we thought that Nick Xenos was the winner until he missed a dead set sitter then we started again. Sam missed his 4 targets later and Nick smoked his to become overall winner and took home a great photo print of Nigel Mansell and his racing car. The second event was the POLYTEX INTER- NATIONAL & MANSOURS 25 TARGET Double Barrel Championship sponsored by ZAFER OKAN. We started the shoot off with 7 possibles and after 20 targets it was down to 2 shooters. Paul Farrugia and Alan Jones (not the radio announcer). A Few targets later Alan missed and Paul had a misfire in his first barrel, we all thought oh-oh, however, he hit the target and he took home the overall sash and a great queen size doona and covers. The third event was the GAMBARMS point score championship sponsored by Joe Chiappetta and the last chance for shooters to win a trophy, there were no possibles, the best scores were 74 by Vince Gatt, Arty Del-Ben and David Perri. They lined up for the shoot off. Perri second barreled his first target (thanks for coming). Vince second barreled his 5th target and Arty shot his to claim overall and to win a fine water cooler. The high guns were the next item of interest. C grade high gun was won by J Sarkis who also happened to win C grade in each of the 3 events (where s the handicapper?). B grade high gun was won by G Galea. A grade high gun was won by one of our sponsors, Zafer Okan. AA grade and overall high gun was shared by Paul Farrugia and Arty Del-Ben who generously auctioned off 25 packets of shells and received $ by Gus Yarak (thankyou very much) to go towards the charity. The end of the day was near and Cecil Park Clay Target Club ran a great shoot. The free feed prepared by John Garcia and his partner Patricia was much appreciated by all who attended.

31 SPRINGSURE GUN CLUB NEWS Finalising our Annual Two Day Shoot on the weekend of 8 & 9 February capped off twelve months of highly successful activities of the Springsure Gun Club. Bruce Powell lead our Club by example for the last three years and stood down at our AGM in December where he handed over the reins to Shawn (Mr. Wobbly) Ryan who has some pretty big shoes to fill. Bruce was awarded Life Membership of our Club for services rendered during his Presidency. MICHAEL DIAMOND COACHING CLINIC On the weekend of 31 August & 1 September our Club hosted a Michael Diamond Coaching Clinic which was hugely successful with a capacity attendance of 35 invited shooters from our Club and surrounding Clubs keen to tune up their skills, and who better to do it with than the best in the business, Michael Diamond. Those looking for a silver bullet to cure their shooting ailments would have been disappointed, as he didn t have any to offer, although Michael was approachable to all who had specific questions or problems with which they needed help. We were each taken through the basics which unfortunately most shooters in their quest for success seem to overlook - Correct stance and gun mount and then where to look for the target. We were then video taped while shooting which disclosed that at least 75% of our shooters lifted their heads while firing. We were then shown how to grip the gun firmly and keep our cheek down to minimise the problem. All participants were then put in front of the siting screen, which again showed up that many shooters guns were not sited in correctly and some never ever. With a few adjustments these shooters were now able to smoke the targets and not just break them. A sit down Dinner on the Saturday night attended by 80 guests and interested public, was an enjoyable way for us to chat with Michael Diamond informally. All in all a great weekend and all participants had something useful they had picked up to take home. Springsure Gun Club and Bowls Club Charity Shoot / Bowls The vision of a couple of our members came to a successful fruition in November when 60 participated in a afternoon of Clay Target shooting and night of Lawn Bowls. With a public notice of our intentions to run a Charity Shoot / Bowls in conjunction with the local Bowls Club to benefit the proposed new Springsure Hospital, we were pleasantly surprised when a host of previously unrecognised novice shooters rolled up, together with the Bowlers. Our shoot marshalls and senior members had their hands full introducing 3 squads of novices to the sport providing directions in safety while giving shooting tips. After drinks and nibblies, all adjourned to the Bowls Club for a BBQ followed by a round of Bowls. The Bowling rink was filled to capacity with 64 bowlers on the rink at the one time. The outcome of the activities was a hell of a good time with $500 raised by each Club donated to the Hospital, and the findings by and large, that Shooters should stick to shooting and Bowlers to bowling. CHRISTMAS NOVELTY SHOOT Our traditional Christmas Novelty Shoot in December surprised us all again with 60 shooters rolling up for an afternoon / night shoot. We were pleased to see many of the novice shooters from the Charity Shoot return and really get their teeth into our Sport. We were also supported by shooters from Gemfields and Callide Dawson. The Hams and Chooks were keenly contested. A storm prevented the Points (night) event from being completed but no one seemed to mind, as that was the first real rain in 6 months. A team shoot between Springsure and Gemfields saw Springsure take out round 1 with the final round shot at the Gemfields Christmas Shoot the next day with Springsure claiming the inaugural Teams Shield. With two novelty days back to back, Springsure now has four signed up new members with a couple more in the wings and I must say that they are shaping up to be very competitive shooters. ANNUAL TWO DAY SHOOT Saturday 8 February dawned showery with a cloud hanging over the weekend. We had just seen torrential rain hit the Rockhampton, Gladstone, Biloela areas with roads cut by flooding, however flood levels dropped enough for some intrepid travelers from the above areas to brave the roads. On the other end of the spectrum, drought still raged locally and in western areas preventing others from attending. Given the weather factor, we were extremely pleased to field our final contingent of 11 squads. The weather held off to provide very good shooting conditions and our traps behaved themselves with only a few broken clays, resulting in quite a few possible scores. The Bauhinia 100, our premier event for the day was keenly contested with consistency and perseverance being the name of the game. Our new President, Shawn Ryan, shooting a possible 100/100. Springsure lived up to it s reputation as a provider of an excellent Saturday night meal thanks to the fine cooks associated with our Club, and a provider of a good headache thanks to our convivial hospitality and the predisposition by some our visitors to over imbibe. Rain during the night cleared to allow our programme to commence. The Ladies Bracelet Points proved once again to be very popular with shooters keen to take a very nice little something home to the little lady who stays at home while he goes off to play. The previously mentioned headaches from the night before played havoc with some shooters scores, but it didn t seem to affect Robbie Caban who shot a perfect 90/90. Ditto in our 30 Target Single Barrel, Shawn Ryan shot 30/30. By 1pm showers persisted to force our final event to be shot in light rain. The rain failed to dampen Cliff Grimshaws score in the 30 Target Handicap with a possible 30 off 20 metres, and a full squad of 29 s for the shoot off. Presentations resulted in the following shooters sharing the range of wonderful trophies up for grabs. A good spread of shooters also shared in a Cash Divide on each round of our Bauhinia 100 with $1,800 in cash being returned. June 2003 Australian Clay Target Shooting News Page 29

Rex Kirk - Secretary. New South Wales State Skeet Carnival 2003 A quick list of changes for / A new shield to be shot in conjunction with the 100 target State Championship. 2/ $1000 cash additional to normal trophies for the State Championship. 3/ Free nominations for sub juniors. Sponsored by NSW Skeet Shooters. 4/ Half price nominations for juniors. Sponsored by NSW Skeet Shooters. 5/ Carnival high gun over full program. These are the main changes for the 2003 New South Wales Clay Target Association State Skeet Carnival to be held at the National Shooting Ground, Wagga from Friday 22nd to Sunday 24th August. The same basic program with the State 20 gauge and State handicap shot on the Friday each of 50 targets, The 100 target State Championship on the Saturday and concluding with the 50 target NSWCTA Championship and the 25 pair Skeet Doubles on the Sunday. Great new sponsorship has been offered by Sydney Skeet shooter Colin Sim and includes a new Shield, The James Miatt Memorial Shield, to be shot in conjunction with the 100 target State Championship. The sponsorship also includes $1000 cash to be divided $500 overall, $100 first each grade and $100 first junior. This sponsorship is guaranteed for the next threeyears. Thank you Colin on behalf of the Skeet Shooters of NSW. Again another first for NSW with Free nominations being offered to sub juniors this year. It is hoped we can attract an increased number of our younger Skeet Shooters with this new initative. Also reduced nominations of half price are offered to juniors again reducing the financial strain on parents for our shooters of the future. Both the sub junior and junior reduced nomination has been made available by sponsorship from Skeet Shooters of NSW. The carnival high gun will be over the entire three day program with the State team selected on the 100 target State Championship and the 50 target NSWCTA Championship. The shoulder to shoulder team will comprise the 150 targets listed above plus the 50 targets of the State Postal Team competition (200 target total). Shooters attending our State Skeet Carnival have continued to increase over the last three years and the additional sponsorship and reduced nominations are hoped to keep the momentum going to reinforce New South Wales as the leading State for Skeet Shooting in Australia. The ACTA has imposed an environmental levy on all shooters using the National Ground. A fee of $1 per day will be charged and a trust fund has been set up to hold this money until future time when a clean up of lead etc. will be needed. The full program will be advertised in next months CTSN. I look forward to a great three days of Skeet shooting in August.

33 Your Say SEND TO: PO 466 Wagga Wagga NSW 2650 Fax: Writers must give full home addresses. Where possible, letters should be typed. Letters must be signed. Letters with noms de plume or pseudonyms will not be published. The ACTA reserves the right to edit any letter and letters may be shortened for brevity. We do not necessarily endorse the opinion of our correspondents. To the Editor Dear Sir, I write in support of the letter of Ken Knuth, which was printed in the April clay target news. This is a wake up call to all people who have any interest in any type of shooting related sports of any kind and one that has been voiced by thinking persons for many years. As a dealer in firearms for thirty plus years, as well as a participant in full bore, small bore, pistol, shot gun and always involved in field shooting and vermin control I have seen the gradual erosion of the freedom to follow such pursuits and the increase in costs bought about by stupid and ineffective legislation most of which has come about to pacify a vocal minority and leave our law makers in peace. Truth and common sense are not readily discernable in most of the changes forced on us in the last 10 years or so. As a dealer I made contributions to an association as well as to calls for financial support when requested to fight proposed changes and making steady support when a large wholesaler added a small percentage to every invoice to support a fighting fund. I eventually refused to make any further contributions to any such funds until such time as all shooting related sports came together under a common banner, sighting the American Rifle Association as my personal example of the way to go. That letter bought little effective response as witness the present situation (and it will get worse). Nor for that matter do I expect that this letter will produce any greater effect than my earlier efforts. Those in charge of or control of the units which make up the shooting sports seem ever reluctant to give up or share the power base they have, while, we, the members, who pay the costs, are content to enjoy our own section of our sport while we are left alone even if our brothers in another section are getting it where the chicken got the axe. What will be the present outcome for pistol shooters legislation which is currently under review. Nothing good or helpful you may be sure and what have we as clay shooters done to help their cause if anything. If we have been in there helping I have not heard about and if such, was case I should be reading about it in my clay news every month as ought to be the case for any shooting organisation that prints a journal am also sure that any effort of benefit to shooters would be gladly taken up by the Australian Shooters magazine (I am also a member of long standing in this organisation). Their publication has at heart the well being of all aspects of shooting sports and I believe the greatest circulation of any such paper in this country - therefore - greater publicity and interest. I have no doubt they would give their greatest co-operation that would further our interests. Thankyou Ken for what I hope is in time for a wake-up call. To all other sections of firearm related sports, I also say wakeup and let us unite to hold shut the stable door to enable us to keep what we have and to regain lost ground to improve the lot of responsible firearms use and ownership. If we do not join to do so the horse will not only have truly bolted beyond recall, but the powers that be will take away the stable as well. At nearly eighty years of age I may not have much shooting left but I wish for my son and grandsons that they are able to continue to know the pleasures of such sports, as they now do and I have done since firing my first shot at the age of seven. Also, with three years of infantry service, including front line service during the Second World War, I can vouch for the advantages of the ability and confidence in firearms training and the use gained in civil life. When the enemy is at the gates it may be too late and there is no future. To the Editor Dear Sir, G.W. Burnett I have just completed assisting at the World Cup in Perth, mainly in Skeet. Conducting Skeet Practice as well as refereeing skeet in the main events. Having also assisted Adrian and competing in the National Skeet Championships, followed by the Olympic Discipline Nationals at which I was also shooting, as well as assisting. Some aspects of the rules became very apparent that had me write this letter. Firstly the professionalism of all of those who competed in ISSF Skeet both at National and International level. Secondly the clarity of the rules, that left no areas of doubt in interpretation. Thirdly that infringement of the rules carried a warning backed up by a penalty. There arose at the Skeet Nationals an incident where a shooter was warned for taking more than 15 seconds to prepare to shoot. The referee warned the shooter and on a subsequent infringement declared that he had forfeited a target. On appeal to the jury this decision was over ruled and the shooter in question continued to shoot and eventually won the event after an extensive shoot off. I personally timed the shooter and he never took less than 17 seconds and on one occasion 32 seconds to shoot his target (admittedly he was brushing our very friendly flies away on June 2003 Australian Clay Target Shooting News Page 31

34 that occasion) But mostly he took 20 or more seconds on each stand. The jury was correct in reversing the referees action, because rule 1.02 (e) states that a shooter shall be warned once in each round with out penalty and the rule should be interpreted in conjunction with rule 4.16 (e) which enables a slow moving squad to be moved to another layout to complete so as to not hold up the competition. I fail to see the value of a rule where a warning is given, that does not have a consequent penalty to back it up. Rule 1.02 (d) gives 10 seconds for a trap shooter to call for his or her target after the shooter preceding them has completed firing. One warning then loss of one target if they do not comply. Having been shooting for 50 years and seen all of the changes to the rules in that time, this incident highlights in my opinion a major inequity to fair competition and I urge the rules supervising committee to redress this rule (1.02 (e) to make it comply with best practice as demonstrated by world standards and give this rule some reason for having the 15 second time limit and bringing it in line with the preceding trap rule. Dear Sir, Yours Sincerely Ivan Halbert CMT Gun Club WA Since I started shooting clay targets as a C11 shooter in January 1980, I have never had to write to this column, mainly because other shooters have beaten me to it, and / or have said better than I could at the time. However, since the rule changes (effective Jan ), I feel it necessary to add my weight to the comments made by Ronald W. Fenwick (Nov. 2002) and more recently by Vere Storch (May 2003). Mr. Fenwick s letter hits the nail right on the head, in particular the sentence quote - You cannot justify a system of handicap using common mark as your base - unquote. Vere Storch s was not only truthful & straight to the point, but echoed my feelings on these matters completely. There was one point however where I respectfully agree to disagree with her and that is the old system of handicapping where trophy value was involved. If my memory serves me correctly, this system was changed because of the fact it was open to manipulation by both Clubs and Shooters. Many Clubs in Australia are no longer putting on Handicap events. The main reason for this is very simple. Club managements / members don t want them and won t shoot them. Why? Because of the book of rules! In essence, the Rules Committee got it WRONG once more, which comes as no surprise to me or the many other shooters that I come in contact with on a regular, and sometimes irregular basis. Yours Faithfully Ron Russell To: The Editor I refer to an article printed in the May edition of the CTSN. It was written by Adrian Cousens and included in his so-aptlynamed monthly column, Cuzzo s Ramblings. Regarding the content of his most recent ramblings, I wish to make the following comment. Well done Adrian! A good and practical article on gun fit. Your ideas, particularly on comb heights and angles are almost identical to the conclusions I have come to after many years of trial and error and experience. I m sure that those ACTA shooters who heed your stock design advice will, in future, give both of us a much harder time in shoot-offs in each of our chosen disciplines.

35 Taree-Wingham Gun Club Flying Fox Carnival April 26 and 27, 2003 Winners are Grinners Frank and Bernadette Seve, respective winners of the Flying Fox Fifty Championship and the Ladies High Gun. Overcast conditions and the threat of rain greeted the competitors for our annual two day Flying Fox Carnival, some of which had travelled from as far afield as Leeton, Dubbo, Illawarra, Warren and Orange.
