4 National President s Notes Bill Jones JUNIOR DEVELOPMENT CAMP I have recently returned from the second ACTA Junior Development Camp at our National Grounds. Head Coach Russell Mark did a fine job with the juniors and together with Michael Kruger-Davis trying to get our "heads together" made for a very informative 2 days. Tom Holt, Kirk, Neill and Glen Barton, three or our senior camp members, were all showing considerable improvement and will be a force to be reckoned with shortly. OVERSEAS TEAMS At the time of writing this column our World DTL Team is in England and our ISSF Team is in its final preparation for the Olympic Games. I am sure you will all join with me to wish all these competitors good luck and good shooting. I am sure they will all do us proud. ASA RESTRUCTURE This seems like a never-ending story. A member workshop will be held 10th August in Melbourne to continue with the rewrite on the ASA constitution. It is in everyone's best interest that the constitution be finalized so that we can all get on with doing what we do best. NSW STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS These championships are set for 1st to 4th October at the ACTA National Grounds. If the scores achieved at our National Championships are an indication of those to be recorded at the NSW titles, we will all be in for another great competition. Come along and be part of the action. TEAM MANAGER POSITIONS For Down the Line, Skeet and ISSF Teams The ACTA are looking for qualified people for the above position. All applicants are asked to register with the ACTA office by the close of business on the 24 September A history of the persons ACTA involvement and personal CV is required. The executive will then select a group to be put into a Pool for each Discipline (the pool will only be actively involved until the 31 December 2005 when a new Pool will be announced). Please register the Discipline of your choice. If selected for Teams, the positions may have to be fully SELF FUNDED (the ACTA will endeavour to obtain funding if available).

The first day a total of seventy-two nominated and on the Sunday, they had sixty-eight shooters. A record for Yamba Club, in it's existence of some thirty odd years.

13 Mount Isa Clay Target Club 2 Day Annual Shoot Held June (Queen's Birthday Long Weekend). Perfect weather greeted approximately 40 shooters competing in Mt Isa over the Queen's Birthday long weekend. Shooters travelled from Roma, Townsville, Camooweal, Cloncurry, Normanton and Karumba to compete in 7 events over 2 days. First off was a 25 tgt PS eye opener where "ex C grader" Brandon Gameau opened his account with a clean 75. Just off the pace was High Guns (back left): Wayne Reeves O/A, Tom Comerford AA, Ted Matthews A, Geoff Bryant B, Brandon Gameau C, Diane Reeves - Ladies, and Mick McGill - Veteran's. President Neal "Sinkers" Sinclair presents Ted Matthews with the A grade High Gun Sash and wishes Ted well for his second retirement in Cairns. Chris Wilson with 72 (AA), Dean Reeves 73 (A) and Geoff Bryant 71 (B). Event 2 saw Jim Molloy (92/92) win the Copper City 25 tgt DB C'Ship from Robbie Cusack (91/92), Wayne Reeves (67/68), Mick McGill (43/44), Tom Comerford (41/42) and Ross Ohlsen 40/41. Jim Molloy was finding it hard to miss, shooting the only possible in event 3, the Mt Isa Gun Club Single Barrel C'ship. The Pawpaw Club received another donation as Ted Matthews decided that 59/60 would be enough to secure overall in the State day mixed targets. Ted is leaving Mt Isa for tropical Cairns and will be missed by all clubs in the North West region. Our loss will be another's gain. We wish you all the best and hope to see you visit when possible. No one really leaves The Isa. Sunday arrived with no change from Saturday's weather as shooters headed out to contest the Mt Isa Gun Club 50 tgt Day DB C'ship. Cloncurry's president Daryl "the General" Grant needed just 13 S/O tgts to take O/A. Next was the 25 tgt handicap where Scott Prendergast took the honours with 26/28 from Wayne Reeves 29/32, Darryl Grant 28/32 and Tracy Wilson 24/27. The final event was the John Yanko Memorial 15 Pr DR which was claimed by Chris Wilson with a S/O to determine the other placings. With the shooting over it was time to tally up the scores to see who the High Guns were. Wayne "the Gulf Grey" Reeves claimed the Overall High Gun (245/260) without winning any event Overall. Once again, Wayne's consistency over the entire program proved the difference with 1 target separating Overall from AA and A grade. Townsville president Tommy Comerford added another high gun silk to his collection with 244/260 to claim AA. Ted Matthews took A grade, also with 244/260. A nice farewell by anyone's standard. Roma's Geoff Bryant wrapped up B grade shooting 237/260. Brandon Gameau said "Goodbye C grade, hello B grade and pass the silk Sinkers!" for the C grade high gun with 233/260. Brandon claims his good form over the shoot was "clean living" and plenty of rest. Diane Reeves kept the family affair alive winning the Ladies High Gun (234/260). Mick McGill shot 240/260 to secure the Veteran's High Gun Sash. Shooters will now be looking forward to the Cloncurry 2 day Annual (24/25th July) which always proves popular. This is the last club annual before the NW Trap Championships are held back in the Isa (11/12th Sept.). The Inaugural District Champion will be decided over their accumulated score for the 3 Annual shoots (Normanton, Cloncurry and Mt Isa) and NW Trap Championships. I'm sure there are a few shooters out there with their eyes on this title. No club can function successfully without sponsorship. The Mount Isa Clay Target Club would like to thank the following organisations for their generosity allowing our sport to prosper.

15 Central Burnett Gun Club Annual "Citrus Country" Shoot Winner 25 T D/B "Calcutta by Candlelight" Handicap Dick Osbourne (left) with President Ben Zillman. Highguns (L-R) T Robb (A-Highgun), M Giltrow (B-Highgun), E Ekblad (C-Highgun), A Robinson (sponsor/donor), L Jarvis (O/A Highgun), B Allan (AA-Highgun). Robb, D Robb and B Allan, with a 702/750. The Central Burnett Gun Club held their Annual "Citrus Country" Shoot in Mundubbera on the 19th & 20th of June. 41 Shooters represented from at least 15 clubs and they produced some very good results by Sunday afternoon. In the perfect conditions on Saturday, some perfect and near perfect scores were accomplished. Twelve shooters in total (4 AA, 7 A & 1 B grade) achieved 25/25 in their first event. In the 50 T D/B Top Cat Trophy, nobody was taking the overall trophy from Lil Jarvis (Rockhampton) (63/63) The "Calcutta by Candlelight", so named after the electricity went out at 6.30pm, was won by D. Osborne from Maryborough (37/37) on Sunday. Everyone enjoyed the delicious pig on the spit dinner after power was restored. Sunday began well, but with wind springing up, perfect scores were harder to come by. The Mark Shelley Memorial Trophy - Team of 5 (held in conjunction with the 50 T D/B points) was won by M Giltrow, K Giltrow, T Lil Jarvis had superb shooting over the 2 days and received overall highgun and the Frank Robinson Memorial Cup with 318/335. Not long in A grade, she has already been transferred to AA. Other highgun winners were - AA - B Allan, A - T Robb, B - M Giltrow, C - E Ekblad, Veteran - D Osborne, Ladies - L Jarvis and Junior - D Robb. The Central Burnett 2 day shoot, first for a number of years, was such a success enjoyed by all that it will remain a 2 day event in the future. Vale JOHN BO EVANS It is with regret that we advise of the passing of another of our foundation members. John was always known as Bo to anyone who had the pleasure of knowing and coming into contact with him. To the children around the area he lived he was affectionately known as Uncle Bo. We believe that John came to the Singleton area to work in the mines after leaving the Cobar area in the late 1960 s. John was competitive in the sport and was extremely well known to many shooters and in the early days traveled about to other clubs. He also gave freely of his knowledge of shooting to the new and young shooters. Although John let his membership lapse for health reasons, he still kept in touch with visits to the club. The members of our club wish to extend our most sincere sympathy to his wife and sisters. You will be sadly missed by many Bo. Members of the Singleton Clay Target Club.

17 came home in second place with the only 24/25 and Barry Bosworth had to shoot off for his third place win. Sunday dawned fresh and breezy and the shooters weren't to keen to get into it but away they went to determine the winner of the 45 target Zone Medley Championship. This year was the first time this was shot. Tom Comerford shot a great score of 74/75. AA Grade first went to Ray Collinson with 72/75 from Mick McGill 71/75.

Mike McGill's 71/75 was enough to give him the veteran's prize. The end of the day was nearing with the Zone Double Rise being the final event the wind was doing some funny things to the targets but they were hittable as Barry Bowsorth showed, shooting 27/30 to take out the Overall title.

18 Psychological Skills for Shooting by Michael Kruger-Davis CHOKING "We all choke. Winners know how to handle choking better than losers." John McEnroe Choker. It is an ugly label that we don't like hearing. When we miss a target in a shoot off or miss the last target in qualifying then others either label us a choker or we call ourselves a choker. So, what is choking and how can we avoid it? Choking, according to Mack and Casstevens, in Mind Gym, is a normal human reaction, a physiological response to a perceived psychological threat. In a previous article I wrote that "fear is a mental response to a perceived danger or threat". It's a primitive response that allows us to fight or flee from a threat. The fight/flight response was necessary when as cavemen we wandered Your Say SEND TO: PO 466 Wagga Wagga NSW 2650 Fax: membership@claytarget.com.au Writers must state their membership number, full name and address.

We had to develop a system that allowed us to either stay and fight or get the hell out of there. The threats have now gone but as modern man we have retained the fight/flight response when the majority of our fears are not life threatening at all. So what are we scared of when we are competing? As I have written previously, we are scared of our ability to carry out tasks that we have practised. This fear is manifested as self-doubt and produces anxiety. This anxiety then tenses up our muscles and we are unable to carry out the tasks we need to do in order to be successful. Anxiety makes us feel uncomfortable and when we feel this way we become stressed. With stress there is a change in the way we are breathing and under this stress we become internally selfconscious instead of being externally tack-conscious. So what do we need to do to perform under pressure? We need to breathe and focus. When we become anxious our breathing patterns change and without realising it we may even hold our breath. This has the effect of taking the focus away from what we are doing in the here and now - we lose sight of the present. So if we are anxious, stressed and tense, how do we relax the muscles and clear the mind? By breathing oxygen is energy. When we hold our breath, we are creating pressure and a nervous feeling. Athletes then choke because they become nervous about being nervous anxious about being anxious. Because the pattern of breathing affects the pattern of your performance, then when you are under stress, deep breathing will help bring your mind and body back to the present. This simple technique of focusing on your breathing and taking a couple of deep breaths will help you learn to be comfortable with the uncomfortable. Throughout our lives as competition shooters there are going to be times when we will feel uncomfortable, anxious, stressed, fearful and scared. To be able to help reduce these feelings and refocus on the task at hand we need to learn to breathe properly and learn to use breathing as part of the desensitisation process. In providing therapy for people suffering from anxiety and panic attacks, one successful method is systematic desensitisation. Basically this means teaching the client how to breathe and relax when they are in their normal life so that they can focus on their breathing and relaxation skills when they are stressed. Athletes should be doing the same thing. We should all be practising our breathing and relaxation when we are in the queue at the bank, post office or shopping centre. Rather than get angry or frustrated we should use this valuable time to practise those skills that we will need when we are out on the tracks and we start to feel anxious or uncomfortable. When we can effectively focus on our breathing outside the competition we will be able to draw on the skill when needed in the competition when we are already starting to feel nervous. According to Mack & Casstevens, choking is nothing more than paying attention to your own physiology when you should be focusing on the target. At those times when we all get anxious and nervous, we need to learn to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. Use your breathing to focus your energy and let your breathing centre your mind and body in the present where it needs to be. Reference: G. Mack & D.
