ISSN: National President s Notes The Trap Nationals conducted in Perth during April were a resounding success. Attendance at the event surpassed all previous Nationals conducted in Western Australia. Record scores were shot in the Double Barrel and for the High Gun. The grounds were beautifully presented, and our sincere thanks go to John Eddy and his West Australian Gun Club members along with Gavin Prowse and his West Australian Clay Target Association committee members. Record attendance for WA, Record scores in some events, Great atmosphere and a Lovely venue, well prepared. What else could you ask for? West Australians, you can hold your head high. The position of Executive Officer of the Association has now been finalised. Mr. Tony Turner was the successful applicant, and he will commence work on the 14th May Tony who is well known to many shooters, had previously held the position from February 2009 until November Mr. Chris Gibson has now completed his contract with the Association. Chris excelled in the compliance and legal spheres of the ACTA operation, and steered us through the minefields of Fair Work Australia, a Civil action and Anti-discrimination hearings during his term. On behalf of the Executive I pass on our best wishes to Chris in his future endeavours. The Board met prior to the Trap Nationals and many issues were discussed. Recent correspondence received, and issues identified regarding non-acta members shooting regularly at affiliated clubs was discussed at length. A discussion paper has been put on the Executive Agenda for the June meetings which hopefully will address these issues. A proposal to employ a media officer on a part time basis was also recommended to the Executive. This position would cover all aspects of our media presence both hard copy and electronic and will be advertised shortly. A plan for a large traders building was previewed by the Board. Since then another proposal encompassing a Traders area and a two level office, convention hall and Hall of Fame is being looked at by co-opted Grounds Committee member Mr. Peter Haley. We have received much positive comment about the 25 and 50 year membership badges. I have seen a lot of them around and this is great to see. Please wear them with pride. The Executive meets in June and States are reminded that input to the agenda is required as soon as possible. The meetings this year are being held for an extended period with the presentation of proposals from two companies to replace our existing database, and replace all our operating systems and membership service and payment software. This is a large and expensive upgrade and long overdue, and it needs careful consideration. This means that most Executive members will be giving at least four days of their time, free of charge, to the sport. Please thank them if you get the chance. The June executive meetings will conclude my third year as President of the association. I thank those that have supported me to date, especially the two association Vice Presidents, Ron Traill and Rob Fox. I hope we have made a positive difference during this time.

4 Executive Officer s Report Well a difficult column to write. I have enjoyed and been challenged by the last two years with the ACTA and had looked forward to the many challenges ahead. The highlight has definitely been the shooters I have met, the camaraderie seen at Nationals of all disciplines, the international standards achieved by many shooters and the good position Clay Target shooting appears to be in. Many decisions still need to be made in relation to development of the National Grounds, particularly with the possibility of a World Championships in the future. The capacity of the National Ground, its location and proximity to international travel and the major population centres of Victoria and NSW and its accessibility make it an ideal venue. The proposal mentioned by the President to look at a new club house and Trader location would be the icing on the cake if done well. The development of an integrated IT system will provide increased efficiency in the head office as well as reducing the workload for Club volunteers such as Secretaries and Treasurer whilst allowing greater access to member information for Club use. The system also has the potential for greater access by members to update personal information. The future for the sport is strong with a strong body of shooters, many hard working volunteers and a sport in which all generations can compete in together. In Wagga Wagga the Local Council, Federal and State members are keen supporters of the Association and committed to providing support to the National Grounds and events at this location. I would personally like to thank the sponsors, staff, Executive Members and the shooters for their support, companionship and dedication to the sport.

The support of these valuable sponsors is very much appreciated by the ACTA and the shooters. Many thanks to all the office staff, particularly Denise Page and all of the WACTA volunteers as well as the Trappers, WAGC for the presentation of the grounds and facilities, Jim Shepherd who acted as photographer to provide the pictorial diary which is so important to the shooters, magazine and the history of the Association. I would particularly like to thank Judy Ferry from the ACTA office. As well as being on hand to assist in the running of the office and to calculate prize money, Judy also handled all nominations which arrived at the office so she has a critical role in the running of the event. Many positive comments were provided in relation to the catering available and the quality of the food provided. Thank you to the catering staff. To Frank Auditore, who handled the squadding and scoring, a big thank you. Once again we saw the benefits of Frank s computer program. The Championships would not have run in such a professional manner without the input and foresight of Frank. He spent many days leading into the event, assisting the ACTA in setting up the presquadding. His Shootmaster program was able to supply squad and Spectators during presentations shoot time details which made shooters aware of what time and where they were shooting. Frank also spent many late nights during the carnival re-working squads to allow shooters who nominated at the Nationals to fit within the rotation and to supply them with their squad details. The WACTA handicappers ensured that books were up to date and available for shooters on the completion of their final events. Once again we had the services of Daryl Stevens with his stockmaking and repair services. A huge thank you to Shoot Marshal Adrian Cousens and to Ron Traill, Tournament Director. I previously mentioned the staff for their work in the events office, their efforts with nominations and Hall of Fame Dinner which were greatly appreciated. Finally, thank you to the traders who provided their services at the event. It was great to see a carnival atmosphere and friendly people. We received many comments on the layout provided by WAGC and ideas will be brought back to Wagga Wagga to help the atmosphere in the Traders area. The ACTA National Executive appreciate every contribution right through to the scorers and referees who gave up their time as volunteers to ensure a successful Trap Nationals.

15 2013 Yarra Valley Classic ISSF Trap Melbourne Gun Club this year again hosted the 4th Yarra Valley Classic for Olympic ISSF Trap on Saturday 23rd of March and Sunday 24th of March. On Saturday morning shooters from all over Victoria, QLD & NSW started rolling into the Melbourne Gun Club grounds to compete for prizes totalling over $3500!!! This was thanks to our sponsors Atech Electical (Wes Asmar), SASAA Security (Hayden Stafford), Australian Sporting Arms (Tania & Brant Woodward), Creative Aim (Jane & Tony Cantali) and also Yarra Ranges Ford in Lilydale (thanks to Hayden Stafford for getting them on board). A total of 8 squads had entered and shooting got away right on time in dull and overcast conditions. This didn t distract Catherine Skinner who shooting in the first wave produced a great 25 to start the day. Catherine went on to record rounds of 25,21,24,25 for the day to be outright leader on Day 1 with a great score of 95/100. Only 1 target behind Catherine was Adam Vella with rounds of 24,22,24,24. Albury Shooter Ross Liersch also had a solid start to be on 92 and several other shooters on 91 and 90 respectively. With still 100 Targets and the new Finals system where everyone starts from zero to go on Day 2 the $1000 cash for overall was still anyone s money!! Sunday dawned bright and sunny but the wind being much much stronger forcing some of the lower targets to become quite tricky!! This caused everyone s scores to be up and down all day, except Adam Vella who record 4 x 24 s for the day to be outright leader on 190/200. Catherine Skinner continued her good form to finish on 183, Jeff Tonna, Brett Dunstan on 182, Ross Liersch 181 and Laetisha Scanlan on 180 made the top 6 for the Open Final. It was great to see 2 female shooters taking it right up with the Men to make the Open Final. Off to the semi final which is now shot top 6 shooters using only stations 2,3 & 4 all shot single barrel. Jeff Tonna was the highest score in the semi final with 14. Brett Dunstan, Catherine Skinner & Adam Vella were next on 13. Ross Liersch and Laetisha Scanlan were both eliminated on 12. A shoot off was required to see who would join Jeff Tonna in the Gold Medal match between Brett, Adam & Catherine. After 6 more targets Brett Dunstan was the victor of this shoot off. Bronze Medal Match Vella vs Skinner Shooting for $400 in 3rd place both Catherine and Adam knuckled down for a very good Bronze Medal match. Target for target they both went until Adam missed 2 targets in a row at the end of the match to give Catherine a 14 to 11 victory and collect 3rd place of $400 cash. Commiserations must go to Adam as he was by far the stand out shooter of the weekend, but unfortunately with the new rules this will be a scene that will become a regular feature of ISSF events. If it will be good for the sport I guess only time will tell. Gold Medal Match Tonna vs Dunstan With big money up for grabs ($1000 for 1st & $600 for 2nd) both shooters started off scratchy missing some early targets. Jeff Tonna however was able to hold his nerve recording a win 12 targets to Brett s 8 to become the victor for Jeff collected A sash, $1000 cash and a bottle of Special Edition Top Grade Yellow Tail wine generously donated by Marcello Casella Completed scores of Finalists: Jeff Tonna: , Brett Dunstan: (+6) + 8, Catherine Skinner: (+2) + 14, Adam Vella: (+5) + 11, Ross Liersch: , Laetisha Scanlan: Also held over the 200 Targets was a Ladies Final. As both Catherine & Laetisha had elected to compete in the Open final this allowed Kelly Coogan, Penny Smith, Anna Shedrina, Rohanna Abberton & Kayla Grassi to battle it out in the semi final. Penny Smith shot an awesome semi final of 14 with Kelly Coogan and Anna Shedrina next on 9. Kelly won the shoot off to join Penny in the Gold Medal match while Anna & Kayla would battle it out for bronze. Medal Matches: Anna Shedrina held off Kayla Grassi 10 to 9 in the Bronze Medal Match to win $75 and a bottle of wine. In the Gold Medal match this was a very tight match. After 15 targets both girls had shot 9 and had to continue on to sudden death. Another 4 targets saw Kelly Coogan emerge the winner to take home $200 cash, Sash, 250 shotshells and a bottle of wine. Penny Smith collecting 2nd to receive $100 cash, $250 shotshells and a bottle of wine. In the Junior section young Melbourne Gun Club junior Jack Wallace shot very well to record a total of 176/200. Great Shooting Jack. 2nd place went to Stefan Prioriello on 160/200. Grades: A grade 1st Adam Vella 190/200, A grade 2nd Ross Liersch 183/200, B grade 1st Neil Cracknell 168/200, B grade 2nd Robert Hall 163/200, C grade 1st Alex Sibillin 164/200, C grade 2nd Pat Coogan 152/200.

16 WANGARATTA CLAY TARGET CLUB MARCH 31st 2013 Attwood - Law Skeet Championship Our club was once again delighted to hold the annual Attwood/Law Skeet Championship under ideal conditions on Sunday 31 March. It was great to have legendary skeet shooter Bill Attwood travel from Melbourne to be in attendance on the day. Bill has made a huge input to skeet shooting over many decades across several states and also New Zealand. His main emphasis has been in encouraging many younger competitors to take on this skillful sport by sponsoring trophies and various cups over the years with junior level shooters in mind. Local skeet champion, Phillip Smith shot a perfect score of 50/50 winning him the first event, the Bill Attwood Championship. Close behind him was another very keen skeeter, Peter Finn from Shepparton shooting 49/50 winning 2nd in A grade. Local enthusiast and consistent achiever was David Jackel with a tally of 78/81 winning AA after a shoot off with Benalla top shot Gil Farish on 77/81. B grade was nicely won by Dennis Savage shooting another great result of 49/50 with 2nd place won by local member, Brian Reid 48/50. Junior shooter, Callum Parker took out C grade with 44/55 and Ray Stamp shot 51/61 winning 2nd place. It was pleasing to see Ray back in the fold of clay target competition, his late father Jack was a past President and along with Jack s wife Edith, also now deceased, were a much admired couple within our club and the clay target shooting community in general. The next 50 target shoot was in memory of Kevin Law, a past secretary and long term valued member of our club. This event was once again won by Phil Smith who proved unstoppable on the day. Phil used his Miroku 20 gauge O/U gun to perfection all day and as a result has won him both a 75 and 100 target break badge. This time Colin Finn, Peter s son, won 2nd in A grade dropping only one target. Werribee shooter Peter Shuttleworth was a very welcome visitor to our friendly club and it was nice to see him win AA grade on 59/60. David Jackel finished 2nd with 58/60. After a 25 target shot off for B grade, Brian Reid took out the sash 70/74 just ahead of his close friend Brindley Spalling. Brindley even demonstrated his generous nature by trying to assist Reid in the shoot off with some very helpful advice. Sportsman like Brindley are much admired and a great asset to any club. Ray Stamp put in a top result of 48/50 winning him C grade, a gun down style before calling for the target suits Ray and he is a master of the style. In a reverse result from event 1, Callum Parker shot 44/50 gaining him 2nd place in C grade. The overall Attwood/Law Championship for 14 AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS JUNE was proudly achieved by Phil Smith with 100/100. When presented the cup, Phil was sincere when stating that he had been trying to win this prestigious event for some years and A great day with a slight breeze and few flies greeted the four squads of shooters for the Len Anderson Memorial Shoot held at the West Wyalong Clay Target Club on the last Sunday in March. It was a quality field with one squad made up entirely of 25 metre shooters a class act. Birthday girl, Sue Turner collected the nominations and soon had the first squad organised to shoot 25 Targets Points Score Cash Divide. Despite the ideal conditions there were no possibles posted, although Graham Fairman, who has not been doing much shooting lately, finished one point down. Luke Ellison, over for the day from Parkes, Don Turner and Wayne Ambrose 73/75 shared the cash in AA Grade while Graham Fairman was the top shot in A grade. Doug Murray 70/75 cleaned up in B Grade while Jason Anderson, whose scores are improving all the time, shot 70/75 to be the C Grade winner. Graham Fairman, in between shooting and flogging off some rabbit traps to Doug Murray, got the barbecue underway and soon had the hungry shooters eating rissoles, steaks and sausage sangers. Len Anderson was an inaugural member of the West Wyalong Clay Target Club who particularly liked single barrel shooting and each year the club holds a 50 Target Single Barrel event in his memory. In previous years anyone shooting a possible would take out the event but when the last squad had finished shooting no one had been able to put two red scores on the board necessitating a shoot off to decide the placings. Luke Ellison and Clive Foster had to decide Sash winners with Phillip Smith and his 20 Gauge that his win meant a lot to him and that a milestone had finally been reached by him. Callum Parker took out the Juniors Cup on 88/100 and both names will now be engraved accordingly. The Squire reports from West Wyalong the major placings while Graham Fairman, John Wason and Allan Schirmer were to battle it out for the minor place. Allan Schirmer missed his first target so was able to retire to the clubhouse to join the clapping party. The other shooters showed how it should be done and gave a great performance of single barrel shooting until John Wason dropped his 75th target leaving Graham Fairman as third overall and the winner in A Grade. Displaying their ability as top class shooters Luke Ellison and Clive Foster shot on for almost 20 targets until Clive had a miss leaving Luke Ellison as the proud winner of the Len Anderson memorial event with a score of 94/95. Clive Foster 93/95 was second overall and first in AA Grade. John Wason 74/77 was second in AA Grade and Allan Schirmer 48/50 claimed second in A Grade. Doug Murray 39/50 had a clean sweep in B Grade while Jason Anderson 45/50 proudly accepted the C Grade trophy, with Sue Turner in second place. The 25 Target Handicap also proved a highlight of the day when popular shooter, Luke Ellison, shot over 50 targets from 25 metres for the first time. This effort puts Luke well on the way to completing his Clay Target Grand Slam. Despite shooting 52/53 Luke could only place second to the very experienced Matt Patmore 53/53 also from 25 metres. A grand display of shooting! Les Irvin, over from Barellan for the day, claimed third in the handicap event with 25/26. Everyone was very pleased to see Lyn Anderson and her family present for the day and in true form Lyn and Coralie Irvin helped out in the kitchen during the day. Lyn, ably assisted by Club President, Dozer Collins made the presentation of trophies to the winners and placegetters on the day.

20 Psychological Skills for Shooting Michael Kruger-Davis THE WHEEL OF EXCELLENCE STILL ROLLING ON Over the past two months, I have explored Orlick s concept of the Wheel of Excellence. We have looked at commitment, focused attention, confidence, positive images and mental readiness as components integral to the wheel of excellence: Integral because each component must work in a systematic way to achieve the desired outcomes. In short each component must be pulling together in the same direction. In this article, I want to look at the last two components: distraction control and ongoing learning. According to Orlick, distraction control refers to your skills at maintaining or regaining a positive, connected focus when faced with potential distractions, obstacles, negative input or setbacks. Distractions can be external, arising from people or circumstances in your environment or internal, arising from your own thinking or expectations. Distraction control skills are very important when performing in demanding situations. It is possible to use shoot-offs as an example of a demanding situation, but it is probably the qualifying rounds where you need to be able to demonstrate good distraction control. If we go back to the concept of the Wheel of Excellence then distraction control, confidence, connected focus, mental readiness and positive images are all necessary to get us through the qualifying rounds. Distractions that occur outside the competition, ie before the round, or between rounds, are best dealt with by using relaxation, visualisation or a technique such as The Black Box. During the competition distraction control is about staying in the moment, being able to regain a positive focus and the ability to shift from negative and unproductive thinking to positive and successful thinking. Developing skills for distraction control will lead to maintaining a positive and effective focus in a variety of settings. Being able to regain your focus, before it causes you to think too much, develop self-doubt and lose the moment. You should be able to perform consistently at your desired level, get adequate rest and stay on your own best path for personal excellence. The last component of the Wheel of Excellence is ongoing learning. Ongoing learning, according to Orlick, centres on three important actions: Firstly, reflecting on what went well and why it went well. For most of us it is easy to look at the one target we missed and concentrate on it. If only..., I shouldn t have stopped the gun, I should have stopped and started again because it didn t feel right, I should see the target before I move my gun, and so on and so on. However, what is important is being able focus on what we dis right for the other 24 or 99 targets. It is possible that if you are shooting well, then a miss could due to a lapse of concentration rather than poor shooting. If we stay focused on our achievements rather than our failures we are less likely to make the type of error which will lead us to change something: stance, gun, shells, speed, etc. Secondly, ongoing learning allows us to target relevant areas for continued improvement. By reflecting on our performance we are able to review our skills: technical, physical and mental, and make necessary adjustments to improve. This is vital, as we are all getting older, losing muscle tone or slowing up on reaction time. Remaining mindful of the fact that we are changing will lesson the impact of the disappointment when we can no longer achieve what we were once capable of. Finally, we are able to act on previous lessons learned. We can make judgements about what is similar and what is different from the vast experiences that we have recorded in our memory. The Wheel of Excellence can serve as a personal guide for improving anything that is important in your life. When I look at goal setting with the junior development squad, I get them to look at there goals in the following areas: sport, career, education, health, finance and relationships. The wheel of excellence can be used for every aspect of sport or life: just write the goal you want to achieve in the centre of the wheel and look at each component and make sure you are doing the things needed to achieve ach component. Then develop a plan. Most self-help and sport psychology books stop here but what is essential is that once you have made a plan, you look make a commitment to make achieving the plan possible.

22 JUNE 2013 Cuzzo s Ramblings Another busy month! And a long one due to last month s short deadline. These five weekends in order were the Melbourne F1 Grand Prix, The Bairnsdale Gun Club s Annual Skeet Shoot, Easter, the Pre- Nationals and the Nationals. As usual I enjoyed the Grand Prix. Although I am kept pretty busy on the first two days setting up and arranging the exotic vehicle display, the last four days are pretty much a junket where I can enjoy the event myself and socialise with those shooting friends who have time to utilise my guest passes and come and visit me there. Plus this year I got an extra bonus. Each evening after I parked the golf cart I got to take Eleanor home with me, look after her all night and then bring her back safe and sound the next morning. A hell of a job but someone had to do it. Old petrol heads never die! Eleanor Bairnsdale 400 Skeet Shoot For quite some time many of Bairnsdale Gun Club s skeet shooters have been talk ing about resurrecting our Annual Skeet Shoot. Late last year we even had a stillborn attempt, so this year we decided it was time to quit bumping our gums and get serious. A strategically planted windbreak protects our ground from the prevailing winds and we probably have the best background of any skeet field in Australia so it s a shame not to utilise such a great facility. Thus the fourth weekend in March became the Bairnsdale 400. Two hundred targets a day is a big ask, but shooting all doubles enabled us to get done each day. Shooters from four States enjoyed the event, which included a free canteen all weekend and a BBQ dinner on Saturday night, thanks to Geoff Wallis, our tireless long-serving president. Michael Buttigieg was the star of the shoot, setting a new National Record Break of 103 doubles targets straight on his way to winning the Overall High Gun. Bairnsdale 400 Skeet shoot Easter Karien and I thoroughly enjoyed Easter this year as we spent most of it boating on the Gippsland Lakes, courtesy of a couple of old trucking mates who have done well enough to now own Bertram cruisers. Almost made us wonder what the poor people were doing for Easter. But then it was back to reality with a couple of days of tidying up and packing and getting ready to head off to Melbourne and fly to Perth for the Trap Nationals. Karien didn t come this year as she was tied up with grandmotherly duties, but she assures me she will be right to help me drive the golf cart at the Skeet nationals next month. Pre-Nationals My work started two days early due to a phone call from Elaine Forward of WAGC inviting me to be their Shoot Marshall as well.clearly both WAGC and WACTA had been toiling long and hard with their preparations as the grounds, traps and infrastructure were excellent. We had two great days with the highlight probably being young Kate Schiller winning the Mini Kate Schiller 300x300 and Cuzzo Champion of Champions outright after a mammoth shoot-off. I thought what a shame she peaked a couple of days too early, but little did I know the best was yet to come. Trap Nationals Getting over 500 shooters through each day on only ten traps kept me pretty busy but it was all worthwhile when we continued to break records and make history nearly every day. I don t ever remember calling seven squads of possibles for the Points Score shoot-off or five squads for the Single Barrel or two full squads for the Champion of Champions. I have never seen so many 25 metre shooters in the Handicap shoot-off and I can t ever remember anyone shooting a possible in the Double Rise without winning the event. On behalf of nearly every shooter I spoke to, I would like to thank the National Executive for agreeing to defer the decision to turn the Double Barrel shoot-off into a handicap event. Although I agree with the proposal in principle in order to provide an escape clause if it ever became unavoidable, I firmly believe that the Shoot Marshall should be allowed to exhaust every other conceivable viable alternative before we destroy the history of our premier event. The net result was another record score and a very large appreciative crowd applauding the four shooters who broke the magic 1000 barrier. But at the end of the week it was all Darryn Nichols. First off he equaled the record for the most overall wins by a single shooter 20 AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS JUNE 2013

23 Darryn Nichols Warren Charlton in any one year. Not since 1965 when the great Warren Charlton set the benchmark, has anyone been able to take home four of the overall Silver Australia Badges on offer. However even that effort paled when his Overall High Gun total was tallied up. I don t ever remember the High Gun being won with a better score than seven down, so two down is almost inconceivable! And just when I thought nothing could surprise me I collected the Ladies Mackintosh scoresheet. While I was admiring Amanda Holt s 100 target break with only six second barrels, I suddenly noticed that Kate Schiller hadn t got around to pulling one. I was speechless! 2012 Trap Long Run Winners - John Maxwell, Sox Pilipasidis, Glen Hayden Annual Long Run Breaks Each year at the respective Hall of Fame Dinners, one of the first awards presented is the Annual Long Run winners for the previous calendar year. In Trap the three awards are for the highest breaks off both 15 and 25 meters and the best Double Rise break. In Skeet they are for the highest breaks with both the 12 and 20 gauge and the best Skeet Doubles break. Originally each of these six areas was constantly monitored all year long by the ACTA Historian who then collated the results and advised the National Office early the following year as to the various recipients and their respective scores. No-one really thought too much about it and it all seemed to happen like magic as if it was done by the fairies at the bottom of the garden. It was only after Mark McInnes relinquished the Historian s position that the enormity of the task dawned upon the rest of us. This and several other similarly difficult tasks is probably the main reason that I was eventually appointed as Interim Historian. After initially struggling with the complexity of the task and only being saved by Mark coming out of retirement temporarily to assist me, it occurred to me that this project could and should be self generating. Live Website Updates After discussing the matter with Paul Johnston of the Skeet Shooters Association a progressive results table was set up on their website so that anyone who shot a respectable break in any of the Skeet events could immediately access the current position via their laptop or smartphone and then procure the required verification if required before leaving the Gun Club so that a claim via or fax on Monday morning would immediately update the relevant section. Over the next few months this system was advertised at all the major Skeet shoots and thus began to work smoothly. To finalise the Skeet project a parallel information section was set up on the ACTA website and Sue Vesperman simply updates it periodically from the ASSA website. Trap Shooting Long Breaks The next step was to get a similar system working for Trapshooting, but as we currently have no Trapshooters Association assisting the Office with these types of activities, Sue has set up an identical area in the Trap section on the ACTA website and until such time as a dedicated and passionate group of Trapshooters step forward to assist us, Sue and I will operate it ourselves. So if you shoot any sort of reasonable Trap break in any of the three sections, jump onto our website, click on the Hall of Fame tab and follow it to Long Breaks and Trap. There you will find the criteria for establishing an eligible Long Break and a list of the current Long Breaks that we are aware of. If your break is greater than our listing, then simply obtain the necessary verification and contact either Sue or myself at your earliest convenience. This real time checking will make it much easier to verify your score as it can be done on the spot before you leave the Gun Club rather than over the phone at a later time. Plus the earlier you submit a claim, the more current and relevant our records are. And don t forget the cut off date for claiming any award is the last day in January of the following year. This Month s Trivia Question As this month s writing period was Trap Nationals season, let s stay current. There are eight Overall Silver Australia Badges on offer each year at the Trap Nationals. They are the six individual events plus the Overall High Gun and the Mackintosh Team High Gun. When was the last occasion where each of the eight Badges was won by shooters using guns that were all made by the same manufacturer? Please your answer to cuzzo@a1.com.au and the first correct one received will get a complimentary entry to one National Championship event of your choice in Billy Hailes, National Trench Champion 1973 April s Trivia Question The winner of the first National Olympic Trap Championship, Billy Hailes from Victoria and the first correct answer was received from Bill Attwood, who I suspect was there and saw it happen. The event was held at Melbourne Gun Club over four days from the 27th to the 30th of September. Billy shot 180x200 to win and Peter Wray was the runner-up on 178 x 200. PS If anyone has a copy of the April 2007 Clay Target News I would be most appreciative of it. Please call me on to arrange a mailing address. JUNE 2013 AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET NEWS 21

24 2013 NORFOLK ISLAND INTERNATIONAL CLAY TARGET CHAMPIONSHIPS This annual Norfolk Island sporting event was well attended by Australian and New Zealand shooters and their families during the week 3rd - 8th February. The 85 competitors who took the mark ensured us that we had a successful and friendly competition ahead, for the entire week. Good weather conditions continued and every visitor arrived as per their scheduled flights, there was no repeat of last year s drama caused by the fog and persistent rain. During the champs the Kowald family wedding took place and we wish Kyle and Troy all the best and many thanks to Anne-Maree and Darroll for allowing us to share their special day. To our many local sponsors we are again very grateful of the support given to the Norfolk Island Clay Target Association. The additional support provided from our New Zealand and Australian sponsors is to be equally commended. For a small sporting association like ours we require a dedicated team of our local members to provide the necessary manual work in stocking traps and providing services such as ammo sales and clearing and cleaning and we are very grateful of the support from all the shooters who ensured that our team was assisted each day. Scoring and refereeing were of an excellent standard and we were surrounded by a very contented group of competitors and supporters, many thanks to all our friends who come and bolster our numbers each year, and for those making their first visit we now have an extended group of friends to add to our support list. We hope that you enjoyed your stay with us and will consider a return and enjoy the Norfolk Island hospitality.

63 Competition strong at Monarto-Alexandra The Monarto-Alexandra Clay Target Club played host to two major events over the weekend of November 17th and 18th Committee members as usual had the grounds in readiness for the weekend of competition and the weather proved to be kind to us on both days. Mules Memorial On Saturday 17th November the Mules Memorial 75 target D/B Handicap was shot in warm but calm conditions. Forty-six shooters shot from their handicap marks and at the end of the competition Gavin Height proved too strong in shooting a very creditable score of 72/75 taking out the major trophy of a.243 rifle.

64 NEWCASTLE LAKE MACQUARIE CLAY TARGET CLUB MARCH 2 & LAKESIDE CLASSIC As most of the East coast of NSW will know, the last week of February it rained, not just a little rain, nor a fair bit of rain. It POURED, bucketed down in fact. With the ground soaked the weekend before from a major drenching, it once again came in heavy the day before the shoot and dumped a further 100mm in a day. Given the club has had strict restrictions regarding its operating hours put on it in the months leading up to the shoot by the local Council, and now a drenching that saw layout 1 under an inch of water, it was concerning if anyone would show up at all. But, as with all shoots, the brave (or mad) showed up with driza-bone coats, gum boots and a towel to compete. Event 1 30 Target Points Score, saw a fantastic bit of shooting from the ever pleasant and calm Brad McCudden with a possible of 90/90, closely followed by the social Greg Coleman on 89/90. Greg was even caught up in a major traffic delay on the F3 freeway on his drive up from Sydney, and kept the office up to date via mobile phone as to his ETA. With the rain continuing to come in heavy swirling squalls, causing targets to jump and dive, Event 2 called for a steady eye and steely resolve as 30 target Single Barrel commenced. C grade High Gun was going to be hotly contested between 2 shooters, with young Jason Hancock and that crazy kiwi Grant Goodwin, swapping places on the winners circle. Sweet as Bro eh!. But it was Romano Bacci who managed to pull off an excellent 30/30 to take the event (and his first sash) from nearest rival John Maxwell on 29/30. Rod McCloy kept the traps full and running amid the rain, and even seemed to be enjoying paddling around in the wet retelling stories of his youth chasing black ducks. Dick Chapman and Phil Pemberton waiting to shoot 58 AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS JUNE 2013 The weather was starting to become more of a low pressure system soaking than the cyclonic dumping earlier in the day, so out they went again for the 50 target Double Barrel Championship. Club President Graham Gosling pulled off a magnificent 50/50, followed closely by 4 other shooters on 49/50. Robert Dial and Greg Coleman dropped out Sash Winners: L-R Back: Grant Goodwin, Ethan Dial, Phil Pemberton, early in the shoot off Romano Bacci, Greg Coleman; Front: Brad McCudden, Cesar Diaz, Laurie for 2nd in AA, but it Littlefield, Graham Gosling was John Piper who took John Maxwell out to a further 39 targets to take the placing. Brad McCudden and Romano Bacci were the A Graders to watch with 49 and 48 respectively. Visiting Lady shooter Chloe Frost and local character Mad Jack Cunningham shot off for B grade, and Grant Goodwin and Jason Hancock were at it again in C grade. With the day ending relatively early, it was time to head somewhere to dry out guns and have a hot shower and a feed. Not before Sally in the office weaved her magic and regraded Brad McCudden to AA, who let out a great cheer as he was now playing with the big boys. Brad always tries to shoot his personal best, and given this has been something Brad has been aspiring to for some time, it was a pleasure to see the grin on his face. Young Jason Hancock went to B grade, another great effort given he has only been shooting seriously for a little over 12 months. Sunday dawned and it was like another season. Heavy coats and gum boots could be discarded for more friendly attire as the 30 target Points Score Championship commenced. John Piper and Greg Coleman were keeping up the form with a 90/90, before a very brief shoot off saw Greg take the event. Greg came to the rescue of a number of shooters who had guns breakdown and lent them Tony Annecchini shows his style, shooting the Continental P/Score with his SxS a spare gun he just happened to have. 2 Day Overall Veteran Laurie Littlefield and his grandson Ethan, Day 2 Day Junior winner with Graham Gosling, President Romano Bacci was back in form taking A grade, with good mate Robert Marko shooting off with Amy Buys for 2nd in A grade. Newly appointed B grader Jason Hancock showed he could hold his own in the new grade and only Continued next page Reno Cangiano s gumboots were the fashion for the weekend

65 STATE EVENT AT MATHOURA The March 2013 shoot at the Mathoura Gun Club included a 50 target Victorian State Single Barrel Night Continental Championship, and that is about as hard as a clay target, shoot ing event can get. Even though the weather was perfect for shooting, and the fact that there were good shooters in attendance, to shoot 50 targets of Continental, under lights, in single barrel mode, was going to test the performance of every shooter that tried. The general consensus was that 40 targets would be almost unobtainable, but, Cohuna member, Mark Vistarini, proved his prowess by scoring an excellent 43/50, and that score gave him the Overall Winners Sash and the 1st in A grade trophy. Congratulations Mark, well shot! Another Cohuna member collected the B grade 1st trophy after shooting a 40/50 score, and he was James Hipwell. Mathoura member Thomas McCluskey Mark Vistarini OA SB with Club President Roger Kerslake scored a 36/50, earning him the 1st in C grade trophy. A ten target, Double Barrel, Continental Cash Divide was shot first as a warm up for the State Championship, and three shooters managed to score a clean 10/10 to share the cash dividend; they were Greg Hipwell, and Mark Vistarini, both Cohuna members, and Deniliquin shooter Ned Collicoat. With the shoot running smoothly all evening, and only two events on offer, it finished at the early time of 9.45pm, allowing all who James Hipwell B Gr 1st SB Tom McCluskey C Gr 1st SB attended an early home arrival time. Murray Roberts VALE John Edward Dunn December 13th 1930 March 19th 2013 John was the longest continuous serving member of the Newcastle Lake Macquarie Clay Target Club. In recent times John concentrated on the disciplines of Sporting Clays and Novelty Field but was an accomplished DTL and Skeet shooter for most of his shooting carrier winning many medals and sashes. John joined the club in the 50's and held every position in the committee and took an interest in all matters happening at the club. John and his mates John Fryer and George Foster (both deceased) enjoyed bird shooting over their gundogs, back in the "good old days" when this was activity allowed and would retell these tales to whoever would listen. John also took a great interest in English guns and used his skills as an engineer to restore these old firearms and his handy work in gun case restorations are evident throughout the hunter region. John will be missed by his family and club members. Graham Gosling John Haug October 14th 1941 February 21st 2013 John Haug a long serving committee member and past vice-president of Illawarra Clay Target Club passed away quietly on Thursday 21 Feburary this year. John had been suffering from an extended illness and had spent many months in hospital. The valued support that John gave this club was well recognised by our members and he will be sadly missed by them. John was also heavily involved and active in the local Illawarra community, a member of many clubs and institutions. His generosity was broadly recognised by all these organisations and he has left a lasting memory with them. Our condolences are extended to John s family LAKESIDE CLASSIC 2 Day Overall B Grade winner Phil Pemberton with his first sash and President Graham Gosling pulled a few 2nd barrels to clinch the grade from Mad Jack Cunningham, while Grant Goodwin again took home C grade. Given that Grant doesn t get a lot of spare time to shoot these days, I think he was really at the shoot for some practice before Michael and Lachlan Jenkins pheasant season back in the land of the long white cloud, because event 5 was the 30tgt Handicap which he took out again with a respectable 33/35 after a shoot off which saw Ross McLean let Nicholas Snow back in twice before missing target 9. Chloe Frost was 4th followed by Veteran Laurie Littlefield on 5th. The day turned out quite nice with clear skies, but a buffeting wind kept shooters alert for the final event of 30 target Continental Points Score. This is an event which normally favours the taller shooters as targets quickly drop below the trap house, but it was to be the unphaspable Cesar Diaz who shot an excellent 90/90 in the jumpy wind. Brad McCudden showed he could handle himself again with 89/90. Robert Marko was chuffed to take A grade from Peter Fiorenza, and the charismatic Phil Pemberton even got in the action taking B grade. Yet again, Grant Goodwin pulled off C grade to show his consistent form over the weekend. High Gun winners were excited to receive their prizes and sashes. The weekend was a complete success, with lots of happy people and good fellowship with other shooters. It was good to see 3 shooters win their first sashes, something that is a great milestone in the sport. Also that Laurie Littlefield and grandson Ethan Dial could share a sport and the winners podium with Vets and Juniors respectively. It was a testament to the efforts put in by a few people in the lead up to the event that the traps didn t miss a beat, despite the dosing they received. Many thanks to those people. High Guns for the weekend were Overall: Greg Coleman, AA: Cesar Diaz, A grade: Brad McCudden, B Grade: Phil Pemberton, C Grade: Grant Goodwin, Vets: Laurie Littlefield, Ladies: Amy Buys, Juniors: Ethan Dial.

69 TAMWORTH CLAY TARGET CLUB MARCH 15 & TH ANNUAL SKEET CARNIVAL Photos Courtesy of the Northern Daily Leader Tamworth Clay Target Club held its 35th Annual Skeet Carnival on 15th to 17th March in ideal weather conditions with some 44 shooters in attendance. The attendance was somewhat less than 2012 which, unfortunately, seems to be a trend in skeet shooting at the moment. However, those who attended were very pleased with the shoot and it seems that the Tamworth Club has upheld its reputation as one of the major open skeet shoots and with improved targets for 2014, hopefully the reputation can be sustained and improved. Shooters attended from a wide area of eastern Australia with travellers attending from Northern Queensland in the north to Werribee Victoria in the south. Regular supporters of the carnival attended from the Sydney metropolitan area, Brisbane, Rockhampton, Caboolture, Townsville, Gold Coast, Toowoomba, Taree, Newcastle, Werribee Victoria and Dubbo in the west. The Loomberah grounds were in great condition thanks mostly to Wayne Holliday and the catering for the weekend was of the usual high standard thanks to Shirley, Karen, Melissa and Judy. Ben Buhagiar was the Shoot Marshall for the week end and kept the events and shoot offs running smoothly to the extent that those shooters who travelled long distances to the shoot were able to get an early start on the Sunday to their respective homes. Above: Sarah Bennett & Lorraine Hughes Below: Geoff Hunter & Vice-President Stewart Bowden The traps were always restocked with targets by three keen young students from Farrer Memorial Agricultural High School. Interesting results of the carnival included the great shooting by the lady shooters competing. Sarah Bennett AA Grade from Dubbo was 1st in the CPC Auto Components Championship with 59/61 and the Bob Jane T-Marts Championship with 61/62 after a shoot off for Overall against husband Shane. Sarah then shot off for the AA Grade High Gun for the weekend against fellow lady shooter Lorraine Hughes from Caboolture QLD. Sarah was the winner with a score of 202/208. Lorraine Hughes AA Grade was 2nd in the Tamworth Clay Target Club Championship with 55/58, Overall in the CPC Auto Components championship with 60/61 and the Lady s High Gun with 201/208 after a shoot off for the AA Grade High Gun against Sarah Bennett. Tracy Ashton B Grade from the Gold Coast won the Above: HC winner Kevin Weatherall with sponsor John Guberina Right: Lorraine Hughes with sponsor Colin Sim Weatherall Engineering 20 Gauge Championship with 49/50 and the Weatherall Engineering Doubles Championship with 40/50. Tracy went on to take 2nd in the CPC Auto Components Championship and 1st in the Bob Jane T-Marts Championship. Shane Bennett was the Overall High Gun winner with 197/200 and now has his name on the coveted Geoffrey Walters Memorial High Gun. Long time supporter of the carnival Paul Kouroupis was the Pauline Walters with High Gun winner Shane Bennett A Grade High Gun winner after winning the Veteran s High Gun last year and Carnival co-sponsor John Guberina was the Veteran for this year having put his name on the Geoffrey Walters Memorial High Gun last year. The B Grade High Gun 183/200 was a good win for Jack Cunningham, a regular supporter from Newcastle-Lake Macquarie and the C Grade High Gun 169/200 went to Tamworth s Geoff Hunter who has only taken up skeet in the last few months. Geoff s son Tristan, also new to skeet shooting, had a great weekend taking the Wilson Family Junior High Gun with 152/200. Despite the downturn in attendance, the carnival was considered a success, thanks to our sponsors G Brothers Mercedes Benz at Mona Vale, CPC Auto Components at Sydney, Weatherall Engineering, Bob Jane T-Marts Tamworth and the Wilson Family without whose support the carnival would not be the success that it was. On 16th February John Cassin, who well represents the Tamworth Clay Target Club at Zone, State and National level attended the Northern Zone Skeet Carnival at Newcastle. John won the Northern Zone Skeet Championship and a place in the Northern Zone Skeet Team to compete at Cecil Park NSW in August.
