ISSN: National President s Notes John Mack May was the month for the 2008 Sporting and Skeet National Championships. As per usual they were held at our Wagga Wagga National Grounds. They proved to be a huge success, showing an increase in entries in both championships - with 119 entries for Sporting and 183 for Skeet. The pre-nominations were 98 for Sporting and 51 for Skeet. Our first Skeet Hall of Fame was a fantastic sell out and thoroughly enjoyed by our members, their families and friends who attended the night. The Master of Ceremony for the night was our historian Mr Mark McInnes. Our inaugural inductee was Mr Reg Clarke, who received a well deserved accolade from the audience. Todd Bender (visiting overseas shooter from the USA) had a successful Skeet Carnival taking out several championships as well as Overall Champion. Todd expressed that he had enjoyed his visit to Australia enormously and as a consequence he has promised to return soon. A full report and photos of the national championships will be made available in next month s CTSN. It hardly seems possible but the 2008 Beijing Olympics is now fast approaching and as a tribute to all our Olympians we will be running a series of profiles for Stacy Roiall (Ladies Trap), Natalia Rahman (Ladies Skeet), Russell Mark (Men s Double Trap), Michael Diamond (Men s Trap), Craig Henwood (Men s Trap), George Barton (Men s Skeet) and Paul Rahman (Men s Skeet). Again on behalf of myself and our members I would like to wish all of the Olympians a succesful 2008 Beijing Games.

4 FROM THE CEO The ACTA could not function without its volunteers, and although among ourselves we do often thank those who work tirelessly for the sport at a local, state and national level its not often that we go outside Clay Target shooting to ensure that those in our sport are recognised alongside their peers in other sports. Bob Blake, the long serving President of the Downside Club, which shoots at the National Grounds in Wagga was nominated in the NSW Sports Federation Annual Sports Awards 2007, which were presented in February Bob was a winner, being awarded a DISTINGUISHED LONG SERVICE AWARD for his services to Clay Target Shooting! (For more information on Downside go to page 58) Congratulations Bob! I d encourage other Clubs around Australia to submit nominations in your state and territory. These programs usually have a range of categories from Athlete of the Year, Junior awards, and awards for coaches and administrators and those with a disability. Lets get our shooting stars and volunteers the recognition they deserve around Australia. Well, the Sporting Clays and Skeet National Titles have just been held, with increased participation and a positive atmosphere. Thanks to the Wagga Gun Club for their work at the Sporting Clays providing the traps and running the front of house and to David Coleman who was the Shoot Marshal. The turn out for the Skeet Championships was fantastic especially since it was only 6 months since the previous event. Todd Bender from the United States took part in all the events and was a most positive influence, as well as winning the Overall High Gun. Thank you to Colin Sim for arranging for Todd to visit us and also to Casella Wines and Beretta Australia for their support of the event. Paul Johnston took on the role of Shoot Marshal, and did a great job. The results and stories about the championships, and the inaugural Skeet Hall of Fame dinner, will be featured in the next edition of CTSN. I ve just returned from the Shot Expo held at Sydney Olympic Park. As the expo started while the Skeet Nationals were still running I was only able to work on the ACTA stand on the Sunday. Volunteers from the Marconi Club assisted on the stand on both days and as seasoned exhibitors did a fantastic job of setting up the display, promoting our sport, handing out information packs and encouraging new memberships.

5 ISSF WORLD CUP 2008 Good Luck Beijing The Beijing Shooting Complex is located northwest of Beijing, 50km from Beijing airport. The Clay Target area of the massive, impressive shooting complex has 6 layouts. As this World Cup was a test event for the Olympic Games, the event was run as the program will be for the Games. This being the case and for the first time at these Olympics, flash targets were used in the qualification rounds as well as the final. In the qualification rounds Chinese manufactured Norinco Orange coloured targets filled with Green powder were used. Whilst in the Final, Orange coloured targets filled with Red powder was used. The Layouts were equipped with Laporte machines. As you would have heard the air in Beijing is quite different to ours. Most days at the Range were also unusual with something similar to a snow storm of cotton balls like pollen with tiny seeds attached blowing around at times quite heavy, making breathing and visibility even more difficult. Most of the Team suffered with some form of throat, head and eye problems. The accommodation was good and about 40 minutes by bus to the Shooting Complex and 30 minutes to Tiananmen Square. Some of the Team were able to visit the Great Wall of China and all that went found it amazing. No rabbits or Roaches were seen. This World Cup was a full World Cup, meaning it was not only for Shotgun but for Rifle and Pistol as well. All the Australian Team were together. The indoor Rifle and Pistol buildings are a sight to see to be believed. It is a very impressive huge complex. Warren Potent of Australia won gold and equalled World Record again in the Mens 50m Rifle Prone event. Warren is Australia s number one medal prospect at the Olympics as he has medalled at every World Cup in the last 12 months. Lalita Yauhleusyaya was Australia s next best shooter at Beijing, Stacy Roiall finishing 4th in the Womens Craig Henwood George Barton with Valeriy before Skeet final. 10m Air Pistol. Clay Target shooters may know Lalitas husband Sergei, who is the gunsmith for Beretta. George Barton was our most successful Clay Target Shooter at this event, reaching the Final in a mixture of conditions in the Skeet Men event. George had to shoot off with 2 others for the 5th and 6th position in the final. George was successful in qualifying for the final after shooting a further 4 targets. This was a great effort with a big field of big name shooters contesting this event. The weather for Skeet was wet, raining constantly on Day 2 qualification rounds and for the Final. The Chinese Olympic shooter Qu was 1st with = 144, Tsuranov of Russia 2nd = rd was the Italian shooter Filippetti = The well known young USA shooter Vincent Hancock shot off with George after the final to decide 4th position with Vincent shooting = and George = = to give Vincent 4th and George 5th. Paul Rahman (AUS) shot = 113. Natalia Rahman shot = 63 in the Skeet Women event. Chinas Olympic shooter for 2008 Wei won gold with = = 97. Silver to Bacosi (ITA) = 94+4 and bronze to Dunn (USA) = Shan Zhang (Barnes) China 5th = 92. Mosin of Russia won gold in the Double Trap event with a great score of = = 191. Eller (USA) was 2nd = = 188. Alshamsy Saif (UAE) = = Russell Mark (AUS) = 136. China won gold again in the Trap Women event. Long time competitor Gao shot = = 93 to win. It was great to meet Gaos proud son who was a volunteer at the clay target. Pak (PRK) was placed 2nd after shooting = = 90. Laricheva (RUS) 3rd, = = 89. Stacy Roiall (AUS) = 67. This was a good event for the Olympic competitors and Officials to have a look and feel for the ground before the Olympics. It was different for the competitors shooting at flash targets in the qualification rounds. The same rule applied to hit or loss as it would in the final using flash targets. Lets hope for bigger and better things on our return visit. Page 3

6 QCTA CENTRAL ZONE INC ANNUAL TRAP CARNIVAL 2008 Location: On the Tropic of Capricorn Qld Very hot and humid conditions met shooters at the QCTA Central Zone Carnival which was held in Rockhampton on the weekend of the 23rd and 24th February The shoot initially was to have been held at the Pioneer Clay Target Club in Mackay, however over 700mm of rain in the previous two weeks put a bit of a dampner on proceedings. With the grounds virtually inaccessible a last minute decision was made to hold the carnival at Rockhampton. With only six days notice and the grounds almost a jungle from recent rains Rockhampton members swung into action and bought the grounds up to shooting standard. By Friday afternoon the message had got about, the job had been done and the Zone Carnival was ready to proceed. One other problem loomed, the Fitzroy River was in flood again for the second time in three weeks and the Mackay water was making its way down. The river was to peak at 7.8m over the weekend and the bridge to the grounds was going under at around 7.5m, some were worried but eventually 80 shooters made the journey. The first event on Saturday morning was a 25 Target Cash Divide. The results were as follows: AA Grade S Ryan, J Maxwell, G Wright, J McIntyre, L Bunker, B Zimpel 25/25. A Grade A Powell, T Harker, J Riggs, M Venter, T Meaney 25/25. B Grade C Barletta, J Wiseman 25/25. C Grade 1st D Easterman, 2nd P Hearn. Event Two was the 25 Target QCTA Central Zone Double Barrel Championship. Overall was won by Andrew Adams from Barcaldine CTC with a score of 72/72. Other results were AA Grade 1st Shawn Ryan 69/70, 2nd John Maxwell 46/47; A Grade 1st Jim Riggs 71/72, 2nd Grant McPherson 33/34. B Grade 1st Jeff Fittler 25/25, 2nd Brian Muirson 30/31 and C Grade 1st Darryl Easterman 25/25, 2nd Stephen Millar 24/25. Event Three was the 25T QCTA Central Zone Single Barrel Championship. Overall went to John Maxwell of the Rockhampton CTC with the only possible 25/25. AA Grade 1st Malcolm Bell 35/36, 2nd Garry Wright 34/36; A Grade 1st Jim Riggs 26/28, 2nd Alex Dallas 28/31; B Grade 1st Zach Grimshaw 24/25, 2nd Raymond Mitchell 24/26, C Grade 1st Stephen Millar 22/25, 2nd Barbara Cox 22/26. Event Four was the 15 Pair QCTA Central Zone Double Rise Championship. Overall went to Shawn Ryan Normanton CTC with 35/40. Grade results were AA Grade 1st John Maxwell 36/40, 2nd Rex Kirk 35/40; A Grade 1st Craig Polsen 27/30, 2nd Peter Brandt 25/30; B Grade 1st Andrew Olive 24/30, 2nd Chris Bourne 28/40, C Grade 1st Wendy Bell 23/30, 2nd Geoff Beck 26/40. With Saturday out of the way, air conditioned comfort was the best option. A drop of rain during the evening kept the humidity up and Sunday was no different, hot and humid. The first event of the day was the 25T QCTA Central Zone Continental Championship. Overall was once again won by local Rockhampton member John Maxwell with a score of 161/161. Grade results were AA 1st Bruce Powell 160/161, 2nd Shawn Ryan 95/96. A Grade 1st Alan Powell 95/96, 2nd Peter Brandt 43/44; B Grade 1st Jim Wiseman 26/26, 2nd Brian Muirson 25/26; C grade 1st Phil Hearn 25/25, 2nd Stephen Millar 22/25. Event Six was the 25T QCTA Central Zone Points Score Championship. Overall went to Shawn Ryan with a score of 96/96. Grade results were AA Grade 1st Leam Bunker 74/75, 2nd Garry Wright 76/78; A Grade 1st Barry Harker 75/75, 2nd Grant McPherson 74/75; B Grade 1st Carlo Barletta 73/75, 2nd Andrew Olive 71/75 and C Grade 1st Phil Hearn 74/75, 2nd Karlene Kelly 65/75.

7 The final event was the QCTA Central Zone 25T Handicap which saw the office staff shoot the only possibles 25/25. The event was taken out by the Zone President Brian Muirson with a score of 27/27 and the Zone Secretary Lil Brandt ran a close 2nd with 26/27, 3rd Phil Hearn 41/42 and 4th Stephen Millar 40/42. Prior to the Handicap event the Central Zone Teams were decided over the three main core events and a further 25T Pointscore. Leam Bunker from Callide Dawson was crowned the Central Zone Champion of Champions having shot for a 197/200, well done Leam.

The QCTA Central Zone appreciated the efforts of the Rockhampton Gun Club to get their grounds in order at short notice. A special thanks to the efforts of those in the catering area, Geoff Beck and his crew did not go un-noticed, well done Geoff, Karen and Jane. The grounds were deserted, the river was still in flood, the bridge was over and now it was Rockhampton s turn. A sprinkle of rain at 2am Monday morning and three hours later over 200 mm of rain dropped on the town. The only thing said during the week was we were damn lucky to get the shoot done. Next years carnival will be held at the Tallawalla Gun Club. Until then, yours in shooting.

8 WEST WYALONG CLAY TARGET CLUB Location Right on the crossroads of the Newell and Mid Western Highways, close to the centre of NSW Although it was raining it certainly did not dampen the enthusiasm of the three squads of shooters who turned up at the West Wyalong Gun Club for their monthly shoot. Perhaps the club could break the drought if they shoot more regularly as it also rained during the MDR Transport (Lindsay s) Trench shoot last month. The new 5 stand set up was in use again and being able to utilise the down the line traps makes for easier setting up, more interesting targets and a more challenging layout. Bruce Dent was the man to beat after the first round of 5 stand and he returned to the club house with a big smile and a perfect score of 25/25. Unluckily Bruce missed a target in the second round but easily won A grade 49/50 from Graham Duncan 46/50. Wayne Ambrose blasted 45/50 to win B grade from Picolo Fyfe 39/50. The rain continued as shooters ate their barbeque lunch and talk turned to the rain, tractors and sowing crops. However, things soon turned serious again as they called for the 10 target Points Score eye opener. Danny Rogers, Bert Boyd, Alan Bound, Wayne Ambrose, Nick Connors and Barellan visitor Les Irvin all shot the perfect 30/30. All shooters were keen to win the 50 target Len Anderson Memorial Single Barrel Championship but none were keener than Graham Duncan who really wanted to win the championship in memory of his best mate. After two visits to the trap in wet conditions it was Picolo Fyfe who Lyn Anderson presents the Len Anderson Memorial Shield and trophy to Picolo Fyfe emerged as the winner with a score of 48/50, also keeping the locals out was Les Irvin who shot 47/50 and Ian Stewart 46/50. Len Lord won B grade with 39/50 and a proud Jason Anderson won C grade 34/50. Lyn Anderson was on hand with her family and she did a great job as she presented the trophies to the winners and the handsome perpetual shield to Picolo Fyfe. As the rain continued an intrepid squad returned to the traps to shoot a round of Points Score. Picolo Fyfe uncharacteristically missed a couple of targets and then realised he had picked up the wrong gun! A quick swap with Kel Maxwell (a Winchester for a Browning no less) and he returned to the trap to complete the event. Shooters enjoyed a great day even if they did get a bit wet. The Squire MICHAEL DIAMOND GOLD at Kerrville Texas ISSF World Cup Michael Diamond equalled his own World Record to win the Trap Men event at this World Cup, after shooting = = 148. Mola of Italy was placed 2nd shooting = Grazioli (USA) 3rd = Craig Henwood (AUS) shot = 111. In the Trap Women event, Stacy Roiall shot well with = 71 to go into the final in 3rd place.

9 Craig Fitzgerald OA SB Jack Collicoat Junior HG Lee Orval Handicap 1st Nathan Cassells OA DR Victorian NEZ Carnival at Echuca Location: on the Murray River which forms the border between Victoria and New South Wales Saturday, the day before Mother s day, saw sixteen full squads of shooters arrive at the Echuca Clay Target Club s complex, ensuring that the 2008 Victorian North East Zone Trap Carnival was going to be a very successful shoot. The shooters did let themselves down a little, as most arrived after the scheduled start time, almost guaranteeing that with all the events to get through, and even running six layouts; it was going to be a late finish for the day. And although the shoot off for the final event, the Double Barrel had to be concluded under lights with white targets, the tough competition from the quality of shooters present, and the smooth running of the shoot, had everyone admitting that it was a very enjoyable Carnival. To prove the quality of the shooters present, the Double Barrel, Event Six shoot off, was filled to a full seven squads, finally weaning down to a battle between Werribee member, Tony Karakizos, and Noorat member, Sox Pilipasidis. Sox let his 130th target fly away giving Tony the Overall Sash and 1st in AA grade trophy on a 130/130 score. Shooting conditions really could not have been better, being clear and calm with a temperature of a mild 20 degrees. Event two a 15 pair Double Rise Championship and Nathan Cassells a Bendigo registered member outshot Robert Pistone for the honour of collecting the Overall Sash with an excellent score of 45/50, Nathan also taking out 1st in AA grade. Event three a 25 target Handicap and up to third place was very tightly contested with Emma Cox missing her 41st target collecting 3rd place, junior Rhys Eeles dropping his 42nd target picking up 2nd place and Warracknabeal member Lee Orval hitting his 42nd giving him the Overall 1st Winners place on a 42/42 score, Nathan Cassells taking out 4th place on a score of 34/35. Event Four a 25 target Points Score Championship and the Overall Winner after a reasonably short shoot off was Sox Pilipasidis, beating off Peter Mills by one point, taking the Overall Sash and 1st in AA grade trophy with a perfect score of 129/129 points, Peter picking up AA grade 2nd with his 128/129 score. Event Five a 25 target Single Barrel Championship and Echuca member Craig Fitzgerald beat off a good try by Stan Collins, to become the Overall Winner and 1st in AA grade shooter with his 55/55 score, Stan picking up 2nd in AA with his one less score of 54/55. High Guns were awarded to Deniliquin member Jack Collicoat as the junior 172/190, Ladies HG was awarded to Noorat member Renae Birgan 169/190, Veterans was picked up by Stan Collins 178/190, and the Overall High Gun was awarded to Echuca member Stephen Atkins, on a score of 182/190, well shot Steve! The Open Victorian North East Zone Team consists of Steve Atkins, Ron Traill, Craig Fitzgerald all Echuca Members, Tim Maher, Deniliquin, and Andrew Leech, Bendigo.

Murray Roberts Page 8 Location: On the Murray River which forms the border between Victoria and New South Wales Cameron Fusti BB year ten Continued from page 7 Echuca College students, over two Thursday s, May 15th and 22nd totalled 67 individual visits to the Echuca Clay Target Club, to experience the sport of clay target shooting. Comprising year nine and ten, and being the first to attend school clinics this year of 2008, some of their scores of a combined two lots of ten targets were very good. Clay target shooting requires a high degree of hand and eye co-ordination, and to expect high results from boys and girls who in most cases had never seen a Brittany Prendergast BG year nine 12 gauge shotgun before, not less be asked, not only to hold and use one, but to also hit a moving target single barrel, was really asking a lot. Yet in several cases some ended with excellent scores, and almost all did hit some targets! The overall high gun award for hitting the Jake Patten B year nine most targets out of twenty goes to master Cameron Fusti with an excellent score of 15, Cameron was rated year ten Best Boy, with miss Gysje Mann taking out year ten Best Girl with her score of 12. Year nine Best Boy was master Jake Patten, with his 14/20 score, and Best Girl for year nine was miss Brittany Prendergast, with a very respectable 9/20 score. The committee of the Gysje Mann BG year ten Echuca Clay Target Club, wish to thank all its members who donated their time and expertise, and also to the members of the Mathoura Gun Club who attended and helped. Also, thanks to the Echuca College, and to the Students and Teachers, for taking an interest, and participating in the sport. Murray Roberts

14 QUEENSLAND STATE TRAP CARNIVAL The Gemfields Clay Target Club turned on three glorious sunny days, perfect shooting weather for the 240 competitors who arrived to take part in the Queensland State Trap Carnival. Shooters warmed up with a 25 target point score event and the targets were perfect with no excuses for missing. Kevin Jarick from the Gold Coast club took overall with 153/153 after a shoot off with Mick Howard from Callide Dawson. Other impressive performers were Diane Reeves shooting 75/75 to take Ladies and second in A grade, and Georgia Costanzo from Ballandean who shot 83/84 to win the Junior section. This event was generously sponsored by Emerald Foodworks and the QCTA Central Zone. The second event on the program was the 50 target State Double Barrel Championship sponsored by Winchester Australia. The Ossie & Doug Smith trophy is hotly contested on this event and 28 possibles were shot. The 2007 defending champ Barry Bosworth put up a good fight but retired from the shoot off after 123 targets. Daryl Stevens and David Robb kept everyone in suspense by continuing the shoot off early the following morning. David from Tarawera held out to win with a brilliant 290/290 and also took the Queensland silver badge and sash. Surat siblings Jill and Andrew Moore won the Ladies and Junior prizes respectively, with Geoff Bryant from Roma winning the Veterans with 80/81. Scott Trafford, David Robb & John Maxwell Queensland Open Team Only one possible was shot in the 50 target State Single Barrel event, sponsored by Miroku Shotguns and Eley Shotshells.

Andrew Moore featured again in the Junior section shooting 48/50 and mum Viv won the Ladies with 47/50. Viv obviously has a talent for this event, she was the Overall State Single Barrel Champion in 2006 and we remind the fellers of this at every opportunity. The Zone shoulder to shoulder teams events were shot on Sunday afternoon and the Western Zone was on fire with three of their four teams coming in first. They must have a really good coach over there. The Western Zone open team took first place with only two points down for 123/125. Team members were Brett Pile, Richard Morrison, Alan Pack, Spike Scouller, Cliff Reid and David Robb. The Westerners were also first over the line with their Junior zone team, consisting of Andrew Moore, Cody Driscoll and Christopher Allan, and the Veteran zone team, with Geoff Bryant, Mike Carraher and Jack Scott. The Ladies section was won by the South East Zone, great shooting by team members Leah Costanzo, Beth Ekblad and Georgia Costanzo. All sections were very closely contested and it was great to see such good shooting by all teams.

Great shooting from Tom Auger from Warwick who came in with 149/150 to win first in B grade and the Junior trophy, and also one point down was Lil Brandt from Rockhampton who won the Ladies. Only one behind them on 148/150 was Neil Berry, again winning the Veteran section. The Linda McPherson Memorial Team Challenge is run in conjunction with the 50 target point score event. Most shooters will be aware of the Paw Paw Club and the terrific contribution it makes to charities each year, and this year was no exception. There is no limit to the number of teams that can be entered, provided each team contains a minimum of one B grader and one C grader. Great scores came in for the winning team for 2008, members were Tom Auger, Georgia Costanzo, Scott Trafford, Bec Vary, Don Portors and Andrew Moore. The winning team donates $300 to the charity of its choice and this year the Paw Paw Club donated a whopping $2,000 to the Variety Club. A great effort by Julie Allan who runs the teams event and to all Queensland Ladies Postal Team those who continually support the Paw Paw Club and its great work. The State teams were finally sorted after extremely close competition, with only one target separating the top five in the open team.

20 Shooting for the pot of gold under the rainbow Location: Situated right in the heart of the Mid North Coast of NSW This was one of the wettest days I have shot in my limited shooting career. There have been wetter days for shoots but they had been called off as traps flooded. Not Kempsey Clay Target Club, it was on for young and old. Shooters came to try out their wet weather gear and they were not disappointed, it was tested. Over 35 shooters braved the conditions, day and night, forming six squads of dedicated shooters, some would say mad. As the recorders were quoted at one stage announcing over the PA you shooters are mad buggers, you don t have any brains. So we shot on into the day and night with water running down our caps and other places too. It was fun though. What else would you want to do on a cold wet day? Our first event was the 25 Target Double Barrel Cash Divide off 15m. The results were: AA Grade G Gosling 25/25, D Pasfield 24/25, J Webster 23/25. A Grade B Jones, S McMahon 25/25, B Ellison 24/25, B Grade R McCloy 23/25, T McCloy, D Piper 22/25, C Grade P Leight, M Burke, B Pharo, D Young 21/25. Then we had the 75 Target Champion of Champions (25t x DB, SB, PS). Overall D Pasfield 124/125, AA Grade 1st G Gosling 120/125, 2nd J Bainbridge 111/125, A Grade 1st B. Jones 117/125, 2nd K. Saunders 116/125, B Grade 1st R McCloy 109/125, 2nd J. Gosling 105/125 C Grade 1st D Young 108/125, 2nd B Phato 103/125. Afternoon tea and dinner broke the day up and helped to warm the wet, weary and chilled shooters. All competitors relayed their thanks to the catering team yet again. Thank you to, Robyn Baker, Kerry Powick and Meg Gosling, and any other ladies who helped on the Page 18 Ted Baker & Daryl Pasfield OA Champion of Champions & 2nd A DB Peter Leight 1st C Grade 25t DB Night 50t PS Steve McMahon 1st A grade PS Night Shoot

21 Ted Baker & Bill Jones 1st A 25T DB 75T Champion of Champions 'The Girls' ready for any conditions L-R Charlotte Piper, Diane Deland, Lesley Langer and Margaret Burke day. Jenny and Lesley Baker recorded the results and harassed the shooters who continued to shoot in the rain. Great job ladies, once again you are all so organized and continue the progress of our club into the 21st Century. Next thing we will have a computer to help keep records, but not yet, the Baker girls do it too well to ever be superseded. Night fell very quickly due to so much cloud cover. It got colder and colder but the targets clearly stood out in the night sky and competition heated things up. The winners of the 10t Double Barrel were AA Grade G Gosling10/10, J Bainbridge 7/10, A Grade P Deland, B Neill 10/10, N Wilkinson, S McMahon 9/10, B Grade J Piper, 10/10, R McCloy, T. McCloy, J Gosling 8/10, C Grade D Deland 10/10, P Brenton 9/10, J Griffiths 8/10. You didn t have to be Einstein to see that C Grade was extremely competitive in the dark. Some of their scores would have taken prizes in the higher grades. Well done guys and girls, I hope you all progress to B Grade soon.

I would like to congratulate Graham Gosling on such fine shooting in difficult conditions. It was a pleasure to watch you consistently break so many targets. A well deserved win. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Graham for coming up to Kempsey early in the morning through difficult driving conditions from Newcastle to coach some aspiring shooters. Your time, experience and words of encouragement and coaching were fantastic and now the recipients of your coaching will just have to put these skills into practice and achieve improved results. You coaching was appreciated by all involved, thanks again Graham. All shooters who were there at the presentation of prizes applauded the winners and commented on another good shoot at Kempsey Clay Target Club. Our next shoot will be Saturday 17th May 1pm at our range which is 8km along the Armidale Road at Kempsey. If you would like to join us anytime in the future we would love to show you what a friendly, competitive, country club is like. The June shoot, which is on the 24th June will start at 12pm and includes the Kempsey Macleay Classic a 100t Points Score event. If you can t make it to our club, have fun shooting wherever you go.

59 Psychological Skills for Shooting by Michael Kruger-Davis VISUAL MOTOR BEHAVIOURAL REHEARSAL Earlier this year I wrote two articles that look at mental rehearsal, which uses guided imagery or visualization, to help improve performance. Another type of mental rehearsal is Visual Motor Behavioural Rehearsal (VMBR), which was developed at the 1994 Winter Olympics at Lillehammer by downhill racer and gold medalist, Tommy Moe, to analyse and correct his performance whilst preparing for his second run. The VMBR technique combines relaxation and imagery in a format that allows individuals to desensitise themselves to a stressful situation. Desensitisation is a common and useful format that is used to deal with anxiety and fears such as fear of heights, snakes, etc. The mental practice of VMBR is aimed at removing unwanted and undesirable movements that affect athletic performance. VMBR can be used for a variety of purposes: once an athlete masters the general sense of relaxation and confidence, for example, VMBR can be used to control tension, rehearse for an upcoming competition, reduce fear and remove stress in parts of the body and enhance the winning feeling. According to Steven Ungerleider, Mental Training for Peak Performance, you can use VMBR to enhance your ability by imagining yourself performing well and confidently whilst you compete. VMBR has four goals: Technique enhancement Error analysis and correction Competition preparation, and Skill enhancement Research regarding VMBR has shown dramatic results, in 1983 research at the University of North Carolina demonstrated that basketball shooting could improve by 7 percent after practicing mental rehearsal. Tim Gallwey, author of The Inner Game of Golf showed that VMBR techniques focusing on correct technique could improve performance, whilst VMBR focusing on incorrect technique showed a decline in ability and performance. This focus is taken further by Pat Parelli of Natural Horsemanship fame, who claims that practice doesn t make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect. According to Ungerleider, VMBR allows you to experience sensorymotor sensations of an athletic skill that mimic real life experiences. So how do you VMBR. Find a quiet, tranquil and comfortable place to sit: take three deep breaths and get comfortable and focused. Go to a scene in your mind that is familiar and calm: perhaps the beach, floating on a lake, etc. Make sure that the scene is vivid, clear and detailed. Feel the scene and allow your senses to participate in the scene. Stay completely comfortable as you experience the sensory images of the scene. Take several minutes developing the scene: the smell, the touch, the feelings and sound of this visual place. Now that you have this picture in your mind: freeze frame it, lock it in and switch it off. Now go back to your breathing and the totally relaxed feeling in your chair. Over the next two minutes just breathe in and out with a blank screen in your mind. Next flip the switch and go back to your wonderful scene. As you return to that relaxed place, pay attention to all the feelings and emotions associated with the scene. Spend two of three minutes at the scene and then return to your breathing and the blank visual screen. This switching procedure is an integral part of VMBR and is quite simple to learn and can become automatic with some practice. When you switch back and forth you gain control of your imagery screen, taking command of the imagery and visualisation process. Over time there fore you will be able to do it at will. Just like practicing golf swing, or shooting a particular target, practicing your imagery you will get better pictures. Once you have mastered the above process, it can be taken to the next level. Start with step 1 again, get comfortable and relaxed. Switch on the relaxation scene described above and get tuned in to your wonderful and peaceful place, working the rest of the four steps mentioned above. Now turn your attention to an a shoot scene. Picture yourself as a participant (not an observer). See yourself on the track or in a skeet squad. Picture yourself shooting well, see yourself winning, turning in a new personal best. Feel the emotions that engulfs you as you see the final target being broken in a cloud of dust. Hear the onlookers and feel the handshakes and pats on the back. Allow these images to be real and vivid. Now that you have this image in your mind: freeze frame those winning emotions. Next, switch gears and get back to the relaxed frame. Remove the picture from your minds eye and go back to your relaxed and controlled breathing. Breathe deeply for two or three minutes. Now hit the switch and go back to that winning scene: see the target break and feel the emotions again. Picture yourself as vividly as possible. Do this several times each day spending more time with the image each time. This VMBR technique can be used as often as you like. A survey of Olympians before the 1988 Seoul Olympics showed that athletes used this techniques regularly and more frequently as the competition approached to deal with the stress of competition and to reduce their anxiety levels. According to Ungerleider, the applications of the process are limitless. What is essential is that the process is practiced so that it can become automatic. Being able to use it at will, will provide you with valuable tool in dealing with stress and anxiety. References: S. Ungerleider. (1996) Mental Training for Peak Performance Rodale Press.

60 30th Anniversary at Downside Downside Clay Target Club Inc held their 30th anniversary shoot on December at the National Shooting Ground Tasman Road Wagga Wagga. A big welcome was extended to members, past members and visitors by Vice President Chris Levitzke. We hope you had an enjoyable day. Apologies were received from Stuart Inglis, Noel and Sandra Hackett Bill and Thelma Birkin, Rita and Harold Wilson, Peter Englebrecht and Merv Holden. Vice President Chris Levitzke welcoming everyone at the 30th anniversary shoot A brief history about the club over the last 30 years. Downside was formed at a meeting attended by 30 shooters on 9 August Solicitor Charles Houen chaired the meeting and elected the inaugural committee as follows; President John Stewart, Secretary Leila Parr, Treasurer Tom Atkinson, Committee Peter Wheeler, Bob Blake, Alex McKenzie, Cliff Post, John Wilson and Jim Parr. The Downside club was situated 16k s from Wagga Wagga on the Coolamon Road, then left onto The Gap Hall road and situated on the property belonging to John and Dianne Francis. The clubhouse was transported from the RAAF base after being sown in half with a long chainsaw belonging to Bob Blake. The front and both of the end concrete steps came from the Uranquinty aerodrome. The club was very fortunate that the majority of the prospective members were very talented or qualified trade people who gave their time freely so that layouts and clubhouse would be ready for the first shoot in November Later a verandah and BBQ area were added which made more space for seating and socialising. A lot of fundraising and working bees were held to get the clubhouse and layouts ready for shooting. The range consisted of 4 DTL layouts, 2 Skeet layouts, 1 Trench layout, 1 Ball Trap layout (located in the Trench layout), 1 Sporting Clays layout. The club purchased a new Daymo Trap plus 15 traps with 2 spares for the Trench and hired 2 Winchester traps from the Ganmain Gun Club. Finally all was in readiness for the first shoot which was held on the 26th November 1977 with 60 shooters from around the area attending to shoot in fine and hot conditions. Next was the official opening conducted on Saturday 22nd April 1978 by the then member for Wagga Mr Joe Schipp. The programme consisted of DTL and Olympic Trap events with 67 shooters attending. A major highlight for the Club was when we were awarded the National Olympic Trap and ISU Skeet Championships. The Minister for Business and Consumer Sffairs and member for Farrer, Mr Wal Fife, opened the championships held on 3rd, 4th and 5th November Every state except Northern Territory were represented with a party of 15 shooters from New Zealand. There were 79 shooters shooting the trench while 27 shooters shot skeet. These numbers exceeded 1978 figures. As years went by and the club became more Leila Parr cutting the 30th anniversary cake financial, we were able to purchase more traps and erect lighting behind the DTL layouts for night shooting. Sporting Clays was another discipline we decided to try. This meant club engineer, Bob Tye, was once again in action making the stands and tower. Downside entered the Sporting Clays event for the first time in the Wagga Wagga Veteran Games in March 1996 and In early 2001 Downside club was approached by the ACTA to consider relocating to the National Ground in Tasman Road, Wagga Wagga. After much thought and discussion, it was decided to make the move and the last shoot at the Downside Range was conducted on 24th August 2002 with a little sadness. Downside s first shoot at the National Complex was the Chris Mason Memorial Champion of Champions held on 28th September After 2 successful years at the National Complex, it was decided it was time to remove and tidy up the old Downside Range. This was completed in September 2004, and again after many working bees by our dedicated members. Over the years the club has registered close to 200 shooters. There was some socialising that went on too. It was always a tradition to supply a meal after the Xmas shoot as we are doing tonight. On one occasion Santa Claus paid a visit to the delight of the children. Another couple of years we were entertained by Peter Englebrecht singing and playing his guitar. All the meals, large and small, plus afternoon teas have been catered for very capably by the ladies Auxiliary over the 30 years. Lastly this is the first time the club has held a reunion type gathering. We hope everyone has enjoyed chatting and reminiscing about the years gone by, oh where has the last 30 years gone. Leila Parr cut the anniversary cake which was made and beautifully decorated by Bev Tye. A Display of memorabilia was on display for everyone to look at. Page 58

The ACTA reserves the right to edit any letter for brevity. The ACTA does not necessarily endorse the opinion of our correspondents. A Question of Rule Changes Those of us in the front line at our local clubs are often the first contact prospective new shooters will have with the sport. And the first three rules we emphasise to them are SAFETY, SAFETY and SAFETY. At a club skeet shoot I was therefore surprised to see a young shooter on station 7 load two shells and proceed to shoot the high house, followed by the low. I indicated to the young shooter s mentor that perhaps he should be told to load one cartridge only to shoot the high house target, only to be told that since January 2008 shooters on station 7 are allowed to load two cartridges to shoot the high and then the low house target. The reason the station 7 shooting procedure was altered in the last rule change was due to a safety issue. The original station 7 procedure for shooting single targets was to load two cartridges and shoot the low house target followed by the high house. When the powers that be decided we should change to shooting the high house target first, the rule was that we could only load one cartridge at a time. It was deemed that whether you are a novice shooter or a seasoned competitor, if a piece of the high house target is heading in your direction, you are going to react by turning to get out of its way. This reaction could endanger the rest of the squad, the referee, or any bystanders when by turning to avoid the incoming projectile, the shooter turns his or her loaded gun in their direction. The solution to this problem was to impose a rule instructing the shooter to load one cartridge and shoot the high house target, reload and shoot the low. We complained at first but if we were to shoot at the high house first, this was the safest way to go. Now since 1st January we continue to shoot in the same order but may load two cartridges. My first question is What happened to the safety issue? If we have the option of loading two cartridges for the station 7 singles, surely the safest and most sensible order would be to shoot the low house first. Woops - and that takes us back to where we started. The logical second question would be Why was it changed in the first place? Imposing a rule change is a lengthy procedure for all concerned and it also takes time for shooters, referees and instructors to adapt. More forethought, common sense and a consideration for consequences is required before changes are made so that we don t have to go through the frustration of finding ourselves better off back where we started. This is not the first time that we have undergone seemingly unnecessary changes to skeet rules, with the explanation from the ACTA being that we were complying with NSSA rules. Australia should not be governed by American rules, and we should never compromise safety under any circumstances. It is also not necessary to underestimate the small percentage of Australian skeet shooters who choose to compete in America. I m sure they will have the intelligence to adapt to that country s system when competing there. One of the most questionable rules that I believe has recently been imposed on shooters is that of Compulsory Downgrading and I still fail to see how this has been of benefit to anyone. On the contrary it has taken much of the fun out of casual events, night competitions and social club shoots as we now have to compete seriously at every shoot to try to maintain our grade. Many shooters would prefer to compete in a higher grade and never take anything from the trophy table, and if this doesn t disadvantage anyone but themselves it should be their choice. This will deter many shooters from shooting in less than perfect conditions. Let s not forget that shooting is our recreation and we don t want the enjoyment to be regulated out of it. Lastly I believe the calculation of Rolling Percentages has imposed an extra work load on our already over-stretched office workers. It is increasingly difficult to find reliable volunteers to do this thankless task and it seems that no sooner is one set of rules implemented for handicap card entries than another set takes its place. If a shooter performs well enough to be ruled off at 97% after 200 targets, surely he will expect to be in AA grade. Does it really matter what he did 200, 600 or 1,000 targets ago if this is his current level of ability? NO. If the executive of the ACTA are serious about increasing the membership of the Association and not have existing members becoming disillusioned and leaving then they need to look deeply into some of the questionable rules that are being imposed upon us. To those making the rules that we all must follow, don t make them to cater for the small percentage of cheats (we all know who they are and they will always find a way around them anyway) while penalising the honest majority. Please spare a thought for those volunteering their own time to help out in shoot offices, for those that want to relax, catch up with friends and have a fun day shooting, and for those that rely on the rules of our sport to maintain the safest environment at all times. You may or may not agree with my views, either way I look forward to seeing your comments in this column. Make your voice count. Disillusioned Shooter Mike Swale, MIN Editors Note: From the Chairperson of Rules & Safety Committee. Rule changes and safety not taken lightly. The Rule changes introduced on January were only implemented after a full process where changes can only take place after being proposed by a State or National Executive, they are then sent to all states and state Rules Supervisors for approval. If accepted by a majority of states and the Rules sub committee, they then have to be passed by the full Executive Committee. If the Rule changes are not passed and are amended they go through this due process again. This process usually takes up to two years before rules are accepted or rejected. These rule changes were proposed to have Australia and New Zealand (our closest shooting neighbours) shooting the same skeet rules and are not believed by either country to compromise safety. By the way, the same perceived safety issue can be argued, when shooting doubles on station seven, when shooting low house first, pieces of low seven or the shot at low seven accidently breaks high seven and these pieces of the high house target are heading in the shooters direction Page 62

65 It s Your Call By Bill McCarthy Despite a veiled warning at the introduction to It s your call No 28 (CTSN April 2008), some confusion has arisen because we do not include that there is provision for a warning to be given by the Referee to a shooter under the Refusal Rule for first refusal of a target. After that warning, the ruling we have given applies absolutely. The case in point relates to a shooter refusing a target after having received only one broken target. In this case the shooter does not raise the gun to the shoulder and makes a unilateral decision to call for a target. GRTS 5 (b) is specific in that it denies the shooter an automatic entitlement to see a target after receiving only one broken target or one No target call. To emphasise the situation we ignored an entitlement of a shooter to refuse a target under GRTS 17. In GRTS 17 we provide for a shooter to be questioned by the Referee (after the first refusal) as to why he (the shooter) refused a certain target. Should the Referee disagree with the reason given by the shooter, the Referee is to warn the shooter that future refusals will be scored Lost if he (the Referee) disagrees with the reason for the refusal. Hence in this case we should allow the shooter first refusal. However, shooters who have been warned after their first refusal and then unilaterally call for targets in this manner without reference to the Referee on any other occasion can expect, and should get, a ruling of Lost Target. No particular mention is made regarding the position of the shooter s gun being mounted to the shoulder etc. So in the first instance of the refusal we must err on the side of the shooter and allow for the refusal as our rules do not cover this situation. This was his first refusal and no warning had been given previously even though the shooter s actions did not indicate his attention to actually shoot at the target. Therefore, it would seem that in this case GRTS 17 will take precedence but only in the case of the first refusal. A shooter s entitlement to refuse a target or targets is generally well explained in GRTS 17. However, the most optimistic of us will not believe that a shooter with his gun open and on his foot will have too many intentions of firing at a target. His entitlement to refusal embodies the legality of the target presented after he has called for it.

66 INAUGURAL 2 DAY SKEET CARNIVAL CANBERRA INTERNATIONAL CLAY TARGET CLUB 19th & 20th APRIL 2008 This year Canberra International sought and was allocated the Southern Zone Night Skeet Championship and we took this opportunity to build a two day skeet carnival around it.

68 GOLDEN TROUT 2008 Canberra International Clay Target Club Canberra Inter held its 7th Golden Trout shoot on Saturday the 26th and Sunday the 27th of April. Across the two days a total of 100 shooters tried their skill in the five championships on offer, 85 on the Saturday and 87 on Sunday. Especially pleasing was the presence of 11 juniors who took advantage of the free noms. As usual thanks to the support of our sponsors great trophies were waiting for those competitors. The first championship was the 25tgt Ellcon Single Barrel Championship. Two shooters shot the possible with Charlie Smith taking the Championship on the eighth shoot off target from Dave Caccioppoli, Dave taking 1st in AA. Fil Petriella, David Crane and Ross Liersch on 24/25 staged their own battle to see who took second in AA. Fil eventually got it after 11 targets. In A grade four shooters on 23/25 battled it out with Brian Samuels taking first and for the second year in a row Bruce Edlington taking second in this event. B grade was another shoot off between 3 shooters on 22/25. After 4 targets Brian Smith took 1st with Wal Rae 2nd. In C there was another shoot off with 3 shooters tied on 21/25. Andrew Paddison took the grade with 30/35 from Robert Southwell 29/35. Veterans was won by Brian Frost, Ladies went to Trina Watchorn and Michael won the Juniors. The 30tgt Canberra International Handicap, worth $1,200, saw 4 possibles line up for the shoot off vying for the 1st through 4th cash prizes. The first target into the shoot off was dropped by both John Crompton and Rosco Liersch leaving them to fight out 3rd and 4th over the next 15 targets, John took 3rd and Rosco 4th. The two shooters who hit the first shoot off target only went another 2 targets before Fil Petriella dropped a target to win 2nd place (and half a meter) leaving Christopher Southwell, a Junior to take the $500 1st prize and the sash (and a metre). Brian Smith won the shoot off for 5th from 4 other shooters. Last Event of the day was the 50tgt Winchester Double Barrel Championship. Nine shooters shot possibles and the shoot offs commenced as soon as possible with the light fading fast. Eventually Dave (Pop) Crane took the sash with a score of 84/84. The grade winners were AA 1st Dave Caccioppoli 83/84, 2nd Clive Foster 74/75, A grade 1st Gavin Crisp 66/67, 2nd Bruce Edlington 65/67. B grade 1st John Napoli 49/50, 2nd Wal Rae 51/54. C grade 1st Andrew Paddison 50/51, 2nd James Ewart 49/50. Ladies was won by Nicole Crisp, Juniors to Ben Ceely with Brian Frost taking out Veterans. Sunday s weather forecast was for late rain and it sure looked like it. Thankfully it held off till late in the day. First event of the day was the 25tgt Fyshwick Firearms Point Score Championship. AA graders Rosco Liersch, Clive Foster, John Crompton and Charlie Sherry shot the only 75/75s and went to the shoot off to decide Overall and AA 1st and 2nd. In the end Rosco took the title with 186/186, AA 1st was Clive Foster 185/186 and 2nd went to Charlie Sherry 129/132. Shoot offs were required to decide A and B grades too, in each case there were 2 shooters in contention for the prizes and both shoot offs went just 2 targets. The results were A 1st Craig Ceely 80/81, 2nd Louis Galea 77/81, B 1st Luke Mitchell 76/81, 2nd Phillip Body 75/81. C grade was clear cut but close 1st Andrew Paddison 71/75, 2nd Robert Southwell 70/75. Ladies was won by Trina Watchorn, Juniors went to James Grice with Gary Rootes taking Veterans. Event 5 the 100tgt Blackett Homes Double Barrel Championship saw only one perfect score and the rain arrive in the latter half of the event but the quality of shooting excellent reflected in the scores of the prize winners. Rosco took another title with 100/100 and Gavin Crisp took 1st in AA with 99/100. The shoot off for second in AA went 30 targets in miserable conditions before the last two shooters left decided getting dry and warm was more important than fighting it out to the death and decided to split the prize, a decision that I as Ref whole heartedly supported. So 2nd in AA was Matt Gerstenberg and Clive Foster 128/130. A grade 1st was Louis Galea 99/100, 2nd Brian Samuels 97/100. B grade first was Trina Watchorn 94/100 and after a shoot off 2nd was Mark Bush 102/109. C grade was won by Andrew Paddison 96/100 from James Ewart 95/100. Christine Nyveld 93/100 (Ladies), Gary Rootes 98/100 (Veterans) and Michael Coles 97/100 (Juniors) completed the placing s in this event. High guns over the weekend were as follows, Overall and winner of the Golden Trout for the second year running was Ross Liersch 278/280. The grade winners were, AA grade Dave Crane 274/280 after a shoot off with John Crompton, A grade Louis Galea 270/280, B grade Luke Mitchell 259/280, C grade Andrew Paddison264/280, Ladies Trina Watchorn 248/280, Veteran Gary Rootes 265/280 and Junior Michael Coles 255/280.

More information Gary McMillan Tough Event at Mathoura Location: 768 km south-west of Sydney in the Riverina Region of NSW Anzac Day the 25th of April 2008 and three squads of competitors arrived at the Mathoura Gun Club to do battle for the trophies and sash on offer for the night s clay target shoot. The main event for the night was about as difficult as it gets, being a 25 Target, Victorian North East Zone Night Single Barrel Continental Championship, a tough event in the daytime but under lights more so, yet Deniliquin member Tim Maher only let two targets escape and collected the Overall Sash and 1st in A grade trophy with an excellent 23/25 score. Two Mathoura members collected the remaining trophy s, Bill Simpson picking up B grade 1st on a very respectable 21/25 score, and relatively new to the sport, George Golding, taking out C grade 1st once again on a good score in this tough event of 19/25. Perhaps perfect weather conditions helped keep the score totals up, being calm and mild, and a dark cloudy sky to help the lights on the targets. Event One, a ten target single barrel cash divide, and Deniliquin member Bruce Cook led the field dropping just one target to collect 1st place cash on a 9/10 score, Peter Kerr (Echuca) and Bill Simpson (Mathoura) both shot an 8/10 score, both collecting 2nd place cash divide. Event Three, an 15 target Double Barrel, and Leigh Knight, a Bendigo shooter was the only one able to put all 15 targets down, taking out the 1st place trophy on his 15/15 score, Tim Maher dropped just one target giving him 2nd place with his 14/15, and 3rd place was contested by three shooters all on 13/15 being B Cook, G Golding and Shane Howe (Mathoura), and after only three targets Bruce Cook survived to claim 3rd place with a score of 16/18. A very enjoyable night of competition luckily missing the scattered rain that was going around the area that continued through Saturday. Once again a number of learner juniors attending, eight in all, for some coaching practice and the committee thanks the parents for their help to keep these children interested in the sport of clay target shooting.

A special thanks to Collin Sim for funding the expedition. Single Barrel Tower Championship to Jonathan Reeves The Northern Zone Single Barrel Tower Championship was held at the Townsville Gun Club in conjunction with their regular monthly shoot. Conditions were exceptional with perfect targets for the 42 shooters in attendance. Last year s champion 14 year old junior Jonathan Reeves was there to successfully defend his title with a perfect score of 25/25. A shoot off was then required for 2nd and 3rd with four shooters carding 24/25. Two shooters were eliminated quickly at the start, and then the last couple settled in for a top class shoot off. It looked like the shoot off was going to go on after the first 25 had finished without a result. The referee sent them back to reload and continue shooting. They shot a total of 54 targets before we had a result with Ken Knuth 52/54 for 2nd and Joseph Rossato 51/54 for 3rd.

73 FLYING FOX CARNIVAL 2008 Thirteen days of rain, 503mm in the gauge and local flooding on the Friday prior to our carnival, did not deter our keen members and regular competitors some having travelled as far a field as Riverview Qld, Dubbo, Sydney, Tamworth, Grafton, Glen Innes & Inverell. Despite the poor weather leading up to the weekend the grounds & associated facilities were still presented excellently, thanks to the hard work of our dedicated local members. The first event, the Bridgestone and Cleavers Tyres Double Barrel Championship, commenced on time and in sunshine, although very damp under foot. A shoot off was required to determine this 30 target event, between eleven shooters. High Guns L - R: Doug Young C Gr, Bill Staughton B Gr, Bill Jones A Gr, Robert Clarke Overall, Scott Wallis AA Gr After a further 49 targets Steve Wallace of Port Macquarie was the victor from regular visitor Arty Del-Ben, who won AA with Dale Ellis of Guyra second.
