To David and Jo from the Uranquinty Hotel for the foodand bar services we thank you for a professional presentation of both.I would like to also thank the staff from the National office for theirextra work over and above their normal workload. Frank Auditore ranhis office program and the office in general along with Janenne Kiddwho volunteered a great deal of time. Adrian Cousens ensured theshoot was run efficiently and with minimal disruption as did FredRapley on the traps. Alison Farish took on the role of handicapperagain for the second year in a row. This Team allowed the office andthe Shoot to be a seamless operation which ran smoothly
The National Executive was represented by Ron Traill (TournamentDirector), Peter Haley (assisted Fred, wrote scores and assisted withhandicapping when required) George Pinner who also assisted on thescoreboard and with handicapping) National President John Mackwas here for three days along with Allan Vilcins (Chair, memberservice committee) whilst Dennis Harwood (Chair, Financecommittee), Lynne Curtis (Chair, Championships committee) attendedTuesday and Wednesday as well as attending a management meetingon Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning. Once again thank youto the executive for the volunteer time they commit to the Associationon behalf of the members. The Championships also allowed Executivemembers to meet new National Executive Member Terry Marsden fromGeraldton WA. Terry shot the Championships and will return nextmonth to attend the National Executive meeting.
The second induction into the skeet hall of fame and the AdrianCousins Medal evening was a very memorable evening, I will notelaborate too much however we will feature this and the SkeetNationals in the next CTSN Issue.
We will in the next two months decide on a structure for releasinginformation in the CTSN from the National Executive committee’s. Wewill implement a series of information pages on programs within theACTA. Information from the National Ground Committee, Coachingand Sport Development, Member services, Finance etc. These articleswill explain the direction of each committee and the implementationprocess and proposed timeframes for such developments.
As a start we are in the process of purchasing the ground. At this stagewe have all of the documentation required and await the surveyorsreport on the ground. Once this is completed we will meet with theCouncil to further the process. This should be completed quicklyonce the survey and development application is approved. CountryEnergy is drawing up a template and budget for the upgrade ofpower which is a priority in the further development of the Ground.
These are exciting times as we look to develop the sport throughoutAustralia, there are many opportunities to promote the sport throughthose who have achieved at the highest level of the sport through tothose who do such great work at Club, Zone, State & National level.If you have shoot results or something special tell the Media about it,they are always looking for good news stories and you as Clubs andmembers have them all the time. Develop a relationship with yourlocal media, they can give the sport a positive profile in thecommunity.

Four Seasons Four Seasons at Wat West Wyalongest Wyalong
Shooters could have been excused for thinking they were inMelbourne when they attended the West Wyalong ClayTarget Club’s April shoot. It was cold, windy, sunny andcloudy, it rained and there was dust all at various timesduring the day.Prior to the beginning of the shoot, Graham Duncan called shooterstogether and a minute’s silence was held in memory of Graham Boltewho sadly passed away recently. Graham was a foundation memberand past president of West Wyalong Clay Target Club.
The first event of the day was 50 Targets Sporting Clays and aftersome early teething problems shooters provided fine results in thewindy conditions.
Laurie Redfern shot 45/50 to be first in AA and A grade with BruceDent second 42/50, in B and C Grade another Forbes visitor, RonSpedding 33/50 was the winner and Angela Dent 30/50 finished insecond place.
The barbecue was fired up and shooters munched on steak sangersand listened to Frank Ashton’s fox stories until the Shoot Marshallcalled the squads for the 10 Target Point Score Eye Opener.
Clive Foster was the only shooter in the five squads to score 30/30with Allan Schirmer collecting some money with his 29/30.
Conditions did not improve for the 25 Target Double Barrel CashDivide but Clive Foster again scored the maximum to win AA Gradefrom Graham Fairman 23/25, Dozer Collins shot the only otherpossible to win A Grade 25/25 with Laurie Redfern and Len Lordsharing second 24/25, Ron Spedding won B Grade 23/25 and NarelleAmbrose and David Hodges got a share of second prize money 18/25.
Scuds of rain swept across the grounds and conditions were so badeven Clive Foster could only score 144/150 to win the 50 Target PointScore Championship, Graham Duncan shot 140/150 to take out AAGrade, A Grade was won by Laurie (The Night I Saved John Wayne)Redfern 137/150 with the B Grade winner being David Hodges131/150, David Spedding was the C Grade winner 125/150.
The 25 Target Single Barrel was going to be very difficult but MarkPayne made it even more difficult by deciding to shoot it No Barrelwhen he forgot to put a cartridge in his gun. The Squire can assureMark he is not the first shooter to commit such an error.
Clive Foster mastered the conditions to win AA grade 25/25 with RonSpedding shooting 23/25 to take the A Grade money, NarelleAmbrose and David Hodges shared B Grade 20/25 and Mark Paynemade a remarkable recovery to win C Grade 19/25.
The High Gun winner was Clive Foster 202/210 and Narelle andAngela did a great job in the canteen.

GOLDEN TROUT 2009Canberra International Clay Target Club
As I drove out to the club early on Saturday morning forour 8th Golden Trout shoot, I was expecting the worst. Itwas black and the skies looked ominous. The weatherprediction for the weekend could be described as ugly asbest. Cold and getting colder, windy and rain increasing. Itwas therefore a great surprise and much appreciated that15 squads lined up on Saturday for the five championshipson offer. The turnout on Sunday was a bit lower, 12 squads,but some of those who left were replaced by others whocame out just for the Sunday. All I can say from theCommittee and members of Canberra Inter is thank you allfor your attendance and support. It was great to have theeffort we put in to host the shoot rewarded by yourpresence and support, especially in the conditions.The first championship was the 25tgt Ellcon Single BarrelChampionship. Jason Owen was the one shooter to shoot the possibleand took the title. A shoot off with 6 shooters on 24 was required todecide the places in AA. Don Power took 1st with 34/35 from Joe
Camilleri 2nd with 33/35. The1st places in the rest of thegrades were clear cut but 2ndsall required a shoot off betweentwo shooters. In each case theshoot off went 2 targets. Theresults were 1st A grade GaryKennerson 24/25, 2nd RayWelch 25/27, B grade 1st DinoMarzotto 24/25, 2nd Jim Mortys24/27, C grade 1st Leo Mortys23/25, 2nd Garry Betar 24/27,Veterans was won by Brian Frost21/25, Ladies went to Sam Peck20/25 and Chris Southwell wonthe Juniors with 22/25.
The 30tgt Queanbeyan CityCouncil Handicap, with $1,200in cash prizes, saw 2 possiblesline up for the shoot off. DaveClaxton thought he was going to
be in trouble against youngJames Ewart as he knew Jameshad only pulled a couple of second barrels while he had hadto rely on the second barrel forabout half of his qualifyingscore. So on to the tracks theywent, one target later off theycame again with James the victor taking the $500 and ametre. Dave had to consolehimself with $350 and half ametre. Third through fifth alsoneeded a shoot off between 7shooters on 29. Four shootersdropped their first target includ-ing last year’s winner of thisevent Chris Southwell and hisdad Rob. Neil Haydon hit 3targets before he bowed outtaking fifth. The last two left were Joseph Camilleri and DinoMarzotto, they went 14 shoot off targets before Joseph succumbed.
Last Event of the day was the 50tgt Winchester Double BarrelChampionship. Gary Rootes and Anthony Plum were the only onesto shoot the possible and had a brief shoot off for the title. Gary tookit and Anthony took 1st in A grade. The grade winners were AA 1stDave Crane 92/93, 2nd Dave Perri 91/93, A grade 2nd Neil Haydon49/50, B grade 1st Bruce Edlington 54/57, 2nd Dino Marzotto 53/57.C grade 1st Leo Mortys 49/50, 2nd Wayne Smith 47/50, Ladies waswon by Sam Peck 44/50, Juniors went to Jason Owen 49/50 withBrian Frost taking out Veterans 49/50.
So that ended the day’s proceedings. While we waited for the lightsto warm up those shooting in the bonus event, the Southern ZoneNight Point Score Championship, tucked in to another delicious mealprepared by Terry Forrest. At 6.30 it was well and truly dark andunfortunately the weather was very ordinary but the shooters werekeen to get out there. So out they went 5 brave, committed (or at leastthey should have been) squads of very tough shooters. Matt Harrislead everybody out as number one shooter in squad one and posteda 69/75. This proved to be the best score shot and gave Matt the titlewhich I believe is his second Southern Zone sash for this year. The
remaining results were AA 1st Henry Phillip68/75, 2nd Peter Munro 67/75, A 1st DaveClaxton 67/75, 2nd Ray Welch 65/75, B 1st EltonChetcuti 59/75, 2nd Phil Body, Tony Gray andRobert Southwell 56/75. No shoot off here assoon as these guys shot they packed their gear upand went home to get warm and dry, C 1st WayneSmith 60/75 and Kerry White 48/75.
Sunday’s weather forecast was worse than thatfor Saturday and included the possibility of snowon the nearby peaks. First event of the day wasthe 25tgt Fyshwick Firearms Point ScoreChampionship. Nobody shot the possible but 5shooters had 73/75. AA graders Phillip Henry,Leon Cuzner and Don Power lined up with DarcyChetcuti B and Richard Mathers A in the shoot offfor the title. Darcy exited after one target to take1st in B grade as did Henry to take 2nd in AA.Richard departed on the second target to take 1stin A grade. Leon had to pull a second on the thirdtarget leaving Don to break that target with hisfirst shot and take the title.

Last event on the pro-gram was the 100tgtBlackett HomesDouble Barrel Cham-pionship and theweather was all overthe place and includ-ed hail which sent theshooters searchingfor cover. Despite thatand the lack of anypossible the qualityof shooting was excellent in the conditions, including DarcyChetcuti claiming his 50 break badge and Josh Lambert claimingboth a 50 and a 75 break. Three AA grade shooters posted 98/100sand shot off for the title. Tony Barton took it in the end with126/127 from Dave Perri 125/127 1st in AA and Joe Camilleri100/102 2nd in AA, A grade 1st was Dave Claxton 96/100, 2nd JoshLambert 95/100, B grade first was Jim Mortys 94/100 and after ashoot off 2nd was Darcy Chetcuti 102/109, C grade was won by jun-ior Brian Camilleri with 88/100 from Gary Betar on 82/100.

MURRAY ROBERTSWINS AT MATHOURA
Mathoura Gun Club Inc had two main events in the fourevent program shot on Friday night the 24th of April.Although there had been good rainfall throughout the day,with the promise of more to come, the weather did not putoff three full squads of shooters arriving for the nightsshooting competition, luckily,the rain held off for the entireprogram, with a mild tempera-ture, and only a slight breeze.Two ten target Double Barrel CashDivide events were shot at the start,one a Trap and the other a Tower,and Euroa shooter, Laurie Fitzpatrickwas unbeatable, being the onlyshooter to hit all ten in both disci-plines, and collecting the bulk of thecash dividend. In the first event, theTrap, John Berryman picked up 2ndplace cash with his 8/10 score, and SFleming 3rd with a 7/10 result. The2nd event a Tower Double Barrel,saw Roger Kerslake, Harry O’Connorand F D’Angelo all share 2nd placecash, all dropping one target to endon a 9/10 score.
The main event for the night was next, being a 25 target NightDouble Barrel Tower Championship, and Echuca Clay Target Clubmember, Murray Roberts, was the only shooter able to hit all targets,giving him a 25/25 score, and 1st in A grade trophy, and the OverallWinners Sash.

July 2009Australian Clay Target Shooting NewsPage 20
Last month’s article was about the ‘ideal performance state’; what weshould all be trying to achieve each time we compete. However,because we are human there are so many things that get in the wayof this ‘ideal performance state.’ Our thoughts, beliefs, judgments, aswell as anxieties, fears and self-doubt are just some of the things thatget in way of ideal performance. Most of these factors have beendealt with in past articles.
This month, I want to explore anger and aggression. There are acouple of reasons for looking at anger and aggression. Firstly, it isfairly topical at the moment because of the football season.Footballers, provide ample opportunity to examine aggression insport. Secondly, it is important that we understand what anger andaggression are. As shooters, we have to be more careful in the waywe act and react in society. If, for example, a swimmer or a cyclistends up in a pub brawl or is involved in domestic violence, then theymay lose a place in a national team but they are not denied theopportunity to practice or even compete in their sport. If however, a shooter is involved in a fight or domestic violence, the first thingthat happens is that his license is suspended and his firearms areconfiscated. In some cases it can even mean the loss of a job. In mycase being charged with assault or domestic violence, would also leadto me being deregistered. Shooters have no opportunity to competeor practice, their chosen sport whilst the matter is being dealt withbefore the courts. Whilst, I don’t think this is ‘fair or just’ it is a reality and therefore we have to accept it. What it means, however,is that as shooters we have to be far more careful in the way we actand react.
Let’s look at a definition of both anger and aggression. According toAbrams & Hale (2005) anger is an emotion. As a normal emotion,without judgments, anger is neither good nor bad and is as naturaland normal as being happy. They continue by stating that anger isnot always observable to others; those around you only know you’reangry by the way you manifest the emotion, how you behave. Manyother emotions, such as hate, fear, frustration and disappointmentcan lead to anger. Anger and anxiety are very similar emotions andare only distinguished by their associated thoughts. Anger is associ-ated with thoughts of confrontation, whilst anxiety is associated withthoughts of avoidance.
For athletes, two types of anger have been identified: Anger-in oranger out. Psychological literature would describe these as internal-izing and externalizing. Anger-in involves directing the anger intowards themselves or trying to suppress it. For shooters an exampleof this would be swearing when missing a target, throwing shells intothe bin or on the ground, or kicking the dirt. Anger-out is typicallya physical or verbal affront to others or officials. Fortunately, targetsports have few examples of anger-out.
Abrams & Hale define aggression as the use of force to reach a goal.An example of aggression would be when a basketballer swings hisarms to prevent other from getting to the ball. This type of aggres-sion is natural and even accepted in the rules of some sports.Violence within sport can be incidental: ie, which may involvephysical contact and can be normal part of sports such as rugby, AFL,
waterpolo, hockey basketball and netball. The other type of violenceis hostile violence, which involves the intent of harm to an opponent.This can be planned (the coach saying to a player, “make sureyou take him out”.), or spontaneous (anger related retaliation to anopponent or official). Abrams & Hale argue that aggression withoutviolence may be tolerated and accepted in some sports, but hostileviolence is never acceptable.
The study of aggression and anger lead to the frustration-aggressionhypothesis in the 1930’s. Basically the theory states that we are morelikely to become frustrated and aggressive if we are unable to reachour goals. For most of us, as shooters, frustration becomes a fact oflife because we are often unable to reach our goals: that is, hit everytarget.
As I have said earlier, anger doesn’t always lead to aggression, but itis a very common factor for people to become aggressive. If your ina bad mood and someone says something you don’t like, your mightend up in a fight. Being in a bad mood, may lead to a mind-setreferred to by Abrams & Hale as “hostility bias”. This means that apersons thoughts leads them to perceive that a neutral stimuli isprovocative or threatening. People with this type of mind-set willexplode when confronted with a person or a situation that theyperceive as threatening. They use anger as a display that gives theother person three options: one is to stand and fight, another is toflee and the final one is to freeze. The person with this mind-set thenthinks that responding aggressively again will solve their problems,similar as it did previously.
Outbursts of anger are often reframed as cathartic or venting. There-fore they are given a positive spin, but what is not realized is thatwhilst it worked in this environment today, it may not work in adifferent environment tomorrow. Believing that it will be OK andwork again, denies people the opportunity to weigh up the conse-quences of their actions.
This may have dire outcomes.
In conclusion: anger is a normal emotion that can easily lead toaggression or violence. Anger needs to be dealt with and not allowedto develop into aggressive behaviour patterns. Next month I willexplore the relationship between anger and optimal performance andstrategies for cooling down.

Bob Wearne Memorial Shoot at KempseySaturday 2nd May 2009
This particular shoot was very special to my family, as itwas a shoot to commemorate and celebrate the life of mydad who loved to shoot. He never had the opportunity toshoot clay targets, however, he took every opportunity togo to relatives and friends properties to hone his skills andcull feral animals if required. Dad was a crack shot regard-less of which gun he used. He really enjoyed coming toKempsey Clay Target Club and watch me shoot and he lovedto talk to the friendly shooters at our club. He really
enjoyed the people and the atmosphere and would haveloved to be well enough or strong enough to shoot too. Hedied on 4th June 2008 after a long battle with cancer andmy mother decided to sponsor a shoot at Kempsey CTC inmemory of dad. My mother, Betty Wearne, said she wouldput up $2000 each year she lived. She also told Ted Baker“you had better hope I live for a long time”. Our Presidentlaughed, but helped to ensure the shoot took place and ransuccessfullyWe went out for the first event, which was the 10 Target DoubleBarrel Cash Divide Eye Opener. It was essential to break every targetif you wanted a share of this prize money as you will see by theresults below.
Event 1 10 Target Double Barrel 15m Cash Prize AA Grade H Phillip,B Hooper, M Height, D Pasfield 10/10, A Grade B McKinnon, G Brown10/10, B Ellison 9/10, B Grade K McWhirter, B Neil, K Berry 10/10, CGrade P Ryder, D Lomas, L Langer, D Deland 10/10.
Our second event was the 100 Target Mixed Bob Wearne MemorialShoot (25t x DB, SB, PS, & Continental). This was shot in four walksand was great fun. I know the competitors enjoyed the challenge ofthe varied events, shooting on a beautiful Autumn day, all hoping totake home one of the prizes on offer. We certainly had some prizesto give out, much to the dread of the shoot secretaries, Lesley Bakerand her offsider Megan Wilkins from Port Macquarie CTC.
Mum put up the $2000 cash for 1st and 2nd prize in each event. Terryand Anna Kirk from Kempsey Camping World incorporating KempseyFirearms, donated gun cleaning kits, Stuart Underhill from KempseyRetravision gave us gift vouchers, Peter Leicht from Leicht’s Tyres andAuto gave the juniors shells, Phil Ryder from The Valley Butchery atGladstone donated a tray of meat for the raffle and Michael Langer fromTouchdowns Alpacas donated bottles of wine. Numerous shooters wereable to win a prize, they sometimes had to choose which one they wouldtake as they knew they could only win the one category. It worked outvery well enabling numerous shooters to take home something from agreat day’s shooting. Yes it was hard for the shoot secretaries but theshooters were pleased with their spoils.

While recently attending your Association’s very successful DTLNational Championships in Roma, conversation around the performance of our company’s DTL wireless voice release productbeing used by some clubs, reflected concern to us.
What seems to be in practice at some clubs, is the placement of thetrap transceiver part of this system INSIDE the trap house. Whilein some instances this will work fine, it is our recommendation thatthis practice can lead to variable performance of the wirelesstechnology.
I have taken the liberty of submitting an article on this matter toexplain why placing the trap transceiver on the exterior of the traphouse is advisable and a couple of other pointers on getting theoptimum performance from this piece of equipment.
As always, if any club is experiencing any problems with equipmentpurchased from our company, then please do not hesitate to contactus about this – we are more than willing to help you.
Yours sincerelyBruce Rickard
DTL WIRELESS VOICE RELEASE SYSTEM
To gain optimum performance from your DTL wireless voice releasesystem there are three critical elements.
1) Tuning the system: As explained in our manual, tuning eachset of wireless pods takes a fine-tipped screwdriver and 3 minutes of patience. Each of the 7 pods has to be tuned tothe same double-digit field number and if you have more than1 set, then ensure each set is 5 numbers apart. The traptransceiver must then talk to 5 microphones, so the third switchis set to 5. The third switch on each microphone transceiver isthen set to a different number, from 1 – 5. This last point iscritical – any double-up or different number will mean that thatmicrophone transceiver is not talking to the trap transceiver andhence no response to calls.
2) Purchase good quality batteries from a quality supplier – toensure that they are fully charged. Some batteries have verythin covers and these can be punctured when being inserted,leading to rapid discharge and potential damage. With goodbatteries you should get around 200 hours of use per set. Asa recommendation, the blister packs of 40 AA Alkaline's fromDick Smith’s work just fine.
3) Position the trap transceiver on the exterior rear wall of the traphouse as high as can be allowed by the design of your traphouse and the roof. In this position it will be facing theshooters and to prevent damage we have supplied apolycarbonate protective housing, which will withstand a directshot from 15 mts. This position will ensure optimum line ofsight transmission to the microphone transceivers, which shouldbe mounted about half way up the microphone stand. The
aerial inside each transceiver is vertical and aligned between thelocating thumbscrews, so when placing the microphones at eachstand, ensure that they ‘face’ towards the trap house and are notturned at 90 degrees.
Finally when a squad takes the line, get each shooter to quicklycheck that their microphone transceiver is switched on, which isindicated by the bottom light on the pod ‘blinking’ about every3 seconds. If the top light is ‘blinking’ then the batteries arestarting to die and if the middle light is ‘blinking’ then for somereason you do not have full communication from that microphoneto the trap transceiver and you need to check why.
We hope that this thumb-nail sketch of setting up your wirelessvoice release system helps and if you require any more details theneither check the manual, our web-site or call us directly – we areonly too willing to help you.
As a final comment on performance, 16 fields of wireless voicerelease worked almost flawlessly for everyone for 9 solid days ofshooting at the Nationals in Roma, through heat, wind and rain.There is no reason why your club’s set shouldn’t do exactly the same.

VALEBOB BARRON
Bob Barron was a much valued life member of the Wangaratta ClayTarget Club (Vic.) who sadly passed away on Friday 15 May 2009,aged 83 years.
Bob joined the club in the early1960’s and was initially occupied asa trapper/puller of the old stylemechanical traps that were in use atthat time. Anyone who is familiarwith the operation of these trapswould remember the amount ofconstant effort involved in cockingand then releasing them when theword “pull” was heard. After sometime Bob then developed an interestin having a go at shooting theseelusive targets that he worked sohard at operating the puller for othershooters at the competitions. Bob wasencouraged by his close friends thelate Jock Steer and the late KevinLaw to get more involved in the
shooting side and it was not long before he was “hooked” and claytarget shooting became a new passion for him which tied in nicelywith his other main interests of field shooting and fishing. Bob couldbe seen at practically all the DTL shoots held in Wangaratta fordecades afterwards and was one of the last to leave on shoot daysoccupying himself with the end of day duties when others may haveleft to go home.
Bob Barron’s dedication to his club was recognised in 1990 when thecommittee made him a life member and at about the same time hevolunteered to become the club curator/groundsman, a huge taskwhich he maintained with enthusiasm until earlier this year when illhealth prevented Bob from continuing with this role. It would beimpossible to calculate the amount of hours and effort that this dedi-cated and hardworking club man would have put in at the rangesituated at North Wangaratta. Bob maintained and cleaned the largeclubrooms, mowing and spraying large areas of grass and did manyother jobs around the grounds that needed doing. Bob could often befound at the club on his trusty mower covered in dirt and dustaccompanied by his faithful black Labrador Max (who died shortlybefore Bob fell ill), and would never complain about all the hardwork that he did. Bob was the sort of man that took on the jobs thatsome others might avoid, and I am certain that a lot of clubs out there also have someone like Bob, always reliable, respected, dedicated and not expecting any praise.
Bob Barron will be sadly missed by all at the Wangaratta Clay TargetClub and the John Deere ride on mower that he spent so much timeoperating will probably be reluctant to perform as well for anyoneelse. Our President, Rob Steel, committee and members offer ourcondolences to Bob’s loving family.

ROSS DEANE28/5/1920 TO 13/5/2009
On 13th May, 2009, clay target shooting lost one of its morecolourful characters, when Ross Deane, born on 28/5/1920 passedaway at St. Vincents Hospital, Lismore. At the time of his death Rosswas a member of the Richmond River Gun Club but shot regularly atall the Northern Rivers venues.
Ross “Dasher” Deane was a friendly somewhat flamboyant bloke whoabsolutely loved shooting. Referees and other squad members oftenused to get a tad cross with him because if he could still see a pieceof target, he would fire his second barrel at it, sometimes a long time
after the Ref had called “one” and the shooter alongside him wasabout to call.
Ross served as a tail gunner in the RAAF during the war and on oneoccasion, while returning from a bombing raid to Borneo or NewGuinea, his aircraft was attacked by aflight of Japanese fighter planes. Therear turret in which “Dasher” wasensconced was shot from around himand Ross took a bullet through thefoot. “I didn’t know I was hit” he usedto brag, “I though it was hydraulic oilleaking into my boot.” He used tolaugh when he added how he wasparaded for using bad language overan open radio channel during thatengagement. Ross rarely called “pull”when ready for his target. In his mindhe was still in that turret behind thefour browning machine guns so youcan imagine what his call word was.
While travelling to Grafton’s two dayshoot last year Ross gleefully told uswhy he had been known as “Dasher” all his life. “I grew up in SouthAustralia as a kid and Dad used to take me hunting wild peacocks.Dad would shoot the hen bird and I would run down the male. Theyare a bit slow getting going because of the long tail”
Ross took a couple of hours off from hospital on 26th April to attendthe Richmond River Club’s monthly shoot to say goodbye to someof his old mates and to donate his three guns to be used as clubguns for new comers…a special gesture from a special bloke.
We will miss him but will always remember him.
ANGELO LUCCHESE5/8/1940 TO 4/5/2009
Angelo passed away suddenly on the 4th May 2009. On behalf of allhis friends, fellow club and A.C.T.A members, our deepest sympathyto his wife Ann, son Michael and daughter Lucy and his 3 grand-children and their families.
Angelo was a foundation member of Marconi Clay Target Club andwas very involved with the early development of the Sydney MarconiClay Target Complex and the building of the first trench layout.
One of his passions was bush shooting with other members ofMarconi CTC. He was well equipped with camping gear with a 4wheel drive vehicle. He also had a trailer on which he mounted adeep freezer unit for cool refreshments and to bring home the game.To provide power for the freezer, lighting and other appliances he hada portable generator.
He was also the proud owner of a duck plucker which he built andcould pluck a duck in a couple of minutes.
Through the club he met and became friends with Len Bird the thenpresident of Cowra GC and other members with whom he attendedmany duck openings.
In later years he and wife Ann joined a 4 wheel drive club and wenton many trips throughout Australia.
During his early working life he worked in the concrete and form-work business.
For approx the last 30 years he worked for Mirvac a large companyinvolved in building multi story units in the city and near the citysuburbs rising to the position of senior supervisor from which herecently retired.
Sash and cash was the shoot theme, which greeted shootersat Morwell on Sunday the 19th of April 2009. Two zonechampionships and a State single barrel championship allin continental provided plenty of both for the 9 squadscompeting on the day.Donny Kendell and the boys had the grounds looking a treat. JeanBoast lead the canteen crew in her usual cheerful fashion while Macca,Secretary Gary McMillan and President Chris Murphy did the hardyards in the office ensuring the day ran like clock work. Willing work-ers kept the traps full and squads moving and a cunning plan to keepTony Murphy refereeing 98% of the time meant that he now had a newbenchmark to top his 97% story, which 100% had heard 97 times.
The weather was almost perfect though a slight breeze ensured targets,particularly the low ones tested shooters who came from all over andall grades were hotly contested. Once again, apart from local clubs inGippsland, Melbourne and Mornington shooters supported the shoot,though the big guns, Peter Mills, Johnny Rowe and Robbie Williamssaved their best for the raffle, taking out two of the three prizes. BJS,Bernie Stokes was on fire early and so confident that he took time outto patten his gun during a shoot off. Bruce Webb made a comebackand showed his class by beating “Hot gun” Andrew Brady in a hotlycontested shoot off. Rob Nisbeth shot well all day, as did Ken Shaw,Bob Dinsdale and Mick Cummins. Mick Rhodes home for a shot fromthe oil rigs in Mexico shot well but not good enough on the day, whileBruce Bird, ex Kiwi enjoyed his day at Morwell, showing off his skillsby taking out a State B grade championship while a group of old girlfriends watched from a nearby paddock, “baa –ing” him on all the way.Normy Court took an afternoon off from counting his money and wasover heard talking to Wayne Parks about the best way to stack $100
bills before heading offto seek a second opin-ion from Lindsay Ross.In the background ColWiddows argued thatthere was no suchthing as a $100 note,or at least he hadn’tseen one.
After the final shootoff and the gun smokehad cleared the air,amongst some goodshooting, one highlight for the dayemerged. Morwell’soldest shooter, JackRhodes, 84 yearsyoung had won the State C grade single barrel continental cham-pionship after a short shoot off. Jack shot in the same squad as hisson Don on crutches after a recent knee replacement while grand sonMick, acting as a gun bearer for his dad, kept up the cartridges tothem both.Shoot results were as follows Zone 25 tgt continental championship points1st AA O/A B Stokes 74/75, 2nd W Parks 78/81, A 1st C Widdows 74/75, 2ndD Hutchins 72/75, B 1st L Ross 71/75, 2nd D Kendell 74/81, C 1st J Jacobsen65/75, 2nd M Cummins 64/75, State 25 tgt single continental championship,AA O/A 1st R Nisbeth 30/30, 2nd N Court 29/30, A 1st D Rhodes 24/25, 2ndJ Attard 27/29, B 1st B Bird 25/27, 2nd K Shaw 24/27, C 1st J Rhodes 20/27,2nd F Balcombe 29/27, Zone 25 tgt continental championship double barrel,AA OA B 1st B Webb 85/85, 2nd A Brady 84/85, A 1st J Lennane 28/28, 2ndB Dinsdale 27/28, B 1st K Shaw 74/75, 2nd G McMillan 24/25, C 1st MCummins 21/25, 2nd K Balcombe 20/25.

Mathoura Gun ClubMathoura Gun Club Inc, had four Trap events on offerfor the May shoot, and it attracted three full squads ofcompetitors, on what turned out to be a very mild night,with just the gentlest of breezes, perfect for clay targetshooting!Shooters arrived from a wide area, including FrankstonMelbourne, Numurkah, and Deniliquin, and mixed with localmembers, the competition was keen, with almost everyone end-ing the night with a draw in at least one event.
The first event was a ten target Double Barrel Cash Divide, andalthough no shooter could nail down all ten targets there wereseven on one target down, being, Tim Maher Deni, R Kerslake & PMcCluskey both Mathoura, C Burns Numurkah, S Fleming Echuca,F & G DeAngelo, all on a 9/10 score and all sharing in the cash.
Event two was a 10 target Points Score Cash Divide, and T Maherand C Burns only dropped one point, giving them first dip at thecash for their 29/30 effort, and T Horne (Frankston) collected 2ndplace cash with a score of 27/30.
Third and main event was a 25 target Night Points ScoreChampionship, and Tim Maher was the man no one could match,winning the Overall Winners Sash and 1st in A grade trophy byusing just two second barrels for the event, ending on a verycreditable score of 73/75. B grade 1st was Mathoura member W(Bill) Simpson just one point further down on 72/75, and C grade1st was collected by Frankston member, Tristan Horne, with ascore of 63/75.
Fourth and final event was an 15 target Single Barrel, and clubPresident Roger Kerslake, missed just one target, which gave him1st place with his 14/15 score, a shoot off was needed to decidethe next two places and C Burns survived to collect the 2nd placetrophy with a score of 17/21, and T Maher took out 3rd place witha 16/21 result.
With a fire outside to warm up to, plenty of hot food and drinksupplied by the ladies, and good lights to shoot under, it was avery enjoyable evening of clay target shooting for all whoattended.

Saturday 7th of February 2009 will be a date etched intothe minds of all Australians for a long time to come forall the wrong reasons. 173 lives were lost and hundredsof properties and family homes destroyed in the worstfirestorm in Australian history now regarded to as BlackSaturday.Aussies being the kind hearted people we are all dug in deep to showsupport in any way we could, to help those whose lives were turnedupside down on that terrible terrible day.
The committee members of the Melbourne Gun Club wanted to showtheir support. For those who don’t know the fires came very close toour club grounds located on Victoria Rd on the Lilydale outskirts inthe Yarra Valley. Only hard work by the local fire authorities and asudden wind change prevented what could have been a disaster forus. Several of our members also lost homes and properties.
It was decided that we would run a fundraiser shoot where allproceeds of the day went to the Coldstream Country Fire Authorityour local fire brigade. They after all were the ones risking their livesto save the lives and homes of others.
To make the day a big success sponsorship was required. A quickletter to most of the wineries within the Yarra Valley soon saw plenty of support with most, more then willing to donate some of theirproduct or meal vouchers to their restaurant’s ensuring we had goodand plentiful prizes to compete for and purchase raffle tickets in.
110 competitors in totalfor DTL and Skeet plustheir families and friends,including BeaconsfieldMine survivor ToddRussell turned up onSaturday May 9th to support the day which was a big effort and a greatday was held for all. The local newspaper was fantastic in their sup-port to cover the event (although 3 better looking models could havebeen found to promote the day, no offence Jim, Darren and Roger!!).
The boys and girls from the Coldstream CFA were invited down alongwith our sponsors to have a shot at a few clay targets under thewatchful eye of club member and Beijing Olympian Craig Henwood.For many it was the first time ever holding a gun and all managedto hit a few targets. Some showing a lot of promise!!!
After the days shooting events were over the BBQ was lit and themeat on the spit carved up for dinner with a gold coin donation allgoing towards the proceeds. A big thank you to all who helped outin this regard. Hayden Stafford for supplying the sausages, JimTurner again for the use of his spit, Steve Bell and Lindsay Guscottfor supplying the meat as always. And a special big thank you to thegirls for preparing everything. Moira, Tina, Inge, Jean and Kathleenworked tirelessly throughout the day along with Jim Hutchison toensure everyone’s tummies were kept full. Great effort all!!!
The raffle was a huge success with 10 prizes up for grabs. KayleneKotlarewski and Steph Elder were kept busy selling and writing outtickets all day. A great job done
Presentation of the cheque was then made to Phil the captain of theColdstream CFA for a grand total of $3320. A big big effort by every-one concerned!! Phil made mention of how much this donation willmean to the CFA and how great it was to come to a club with sucha great friendly and warm atmosphere as Melbourne Gun Club.
So ended another great day. Of course none of this would be possiblewithout the help of the hard working committee and members whohelped ensure everything ran smoothly and of course our sponsorsDomaine Chandon, Rochford Wines, Helens Hill Estate, WhitsendEstate, Sticks Yarra Valley, Dominique Portet Wines, Punt Road Wines,Tarrawarra Estate, Mandala Wines and Coldstream Brewery.
Also a special mention to the following for donation’s, Steph Elder,Todd Russell, Mt Evelyn Garden Centre and Frankston AustralianClay Target Club. Your support is greatly appreciated. To anyone elsewho I have missed I apologise sincerely!!!

All the hard work paid off as there were five squads inattendance as the West Wyalong Clay Target Club hosted a100 Target Championship.
The new layout worked flawlessly withthe most unusual and most difficulttarget being released four metres up inthe air from the front of Chris Heffer’sforklift.After 50 targets the competitors gath-ered for lunch and to have a look at theprogressive scores.It seemed that the down the line shoot-ers, Clive Foster and Dozer Collinscould handle the change to SportingClays and shooting gun down werewell in contention.Peter Rae from Temora was going to behard to beat and Ian Stewart, BruceDent, Wayne Ambrose and GrahamDuncan all had good scores on theboard.
Conditions remained favourable during the afternoon and as the lastshots were fired it was Peter Rae who emerged as the overall winner85/100, one target clear of the A Grade winner Ian Stewart 84/100.

The 2009 Wagga Gun Club Veterans games, held fromMarch 3-7, was a huge success in terms of the number andquality of the shooters. The variety of shooting disciplinesoffered is testament to the commitment of the Veteran’s tocome together each year for this special event. It is morelike a family reunion than a competition.The five day carnival attracted 127 shooters from all over Australia,with a special thanks to those who made the trip from WesternAustralia, Queensland and Tasmania, especially after the floods andfires ravaging Queensland and Victoria.
Luckily the weather had cooled off so the comfort level for theVeterans made for some good days at the traps. A little less windmight have helped the scores, but all in all there was some handyscores recorded later in the week when the wind died down.

ZZ 's First Open Practice Day/NightCecil Park Clay Target Club on 29 April 2009
Weather: Overcast + cool, slight wind, 20ºCThe 1st ZZ practice day was set up overlooking the ISSFtrap layout. Traps where setup on frames to raise them toground level, according to the rules, setup has a greenshaded cover (shade cloth) representing the ground levelbehind the traps to aide the vision of the shooter towardsthe target.
A 100m fence was erected in an ark made up of 600mm High nettingwith a 3 inch vinyl band across the top and bottom, as you can seeby the photograph the bottom vinyl band on the fence is set at thesame ground level as where the shooter stands (in future there willbe a black netting from the bottom of the fence to the ground).
All the fully automatic ZZ machines (holding approximately 300 ZZhelice targets) being controlled by a computer box sequencer thatallows the traps to randomly release a single target at a time, alsoallowing doubles and triples to be thrown.
Shooting commenced at 11am with our very 1st shooter being alongtime member and local Wednesday shooter of CPCTC, JakeZadrovec, hitting his first 3 targets scoring 3 out of 3 and quoted bysaying "I'll quit while I'm ahead".
To my surprise, not expecting the turnout, shooters were slow to startbut promptly started to roll in after 1pm and there was a steady flowfrom then on.
On dark we turned on the lights and shot right through until we ranout of targets at around 8pm, an hour earlier than planned, aftershooting between 550-600 zz helice targets!
Between 30 - 40 shooters turned up on the spur of the moment tohelp get ZZ started for the 1st time at CPCTC, and hopefully we'll allbe ready for the next one! What an exciting sport!
All in all, it is a great start to the first official ZZ continuing in NSW.There are a lot of shooters that have never seen this type of shootingbefore and it is entirely different to clay target shooting as you havea red wing with a white 'witness' insert made from plastic andclipped together to make the flying bird or as called ZZ helice. As perthe rules you have 5 traps and 1 shooting station 25m - 30m awayfrom the traps, with a surrounding fence from 19m up to 21m in anark from the traps. The targets are revving at between 4000 - 9000rpm and on you call a zz helice bird will be release and you mustdetach the white witness from the red wing with the witness landinginside the fence for it to be classified as a good bird or 'kill'.
These rules are a continuation from the original box birds rules backin the 1960's, which is currently a very large sport in Europe andAmerica. For further rules and information you might like to checkout our website www.zzsydneyaustralia.com.au
If you are interested in receiving future SMS text messages or emailsletting you know when and where future practice and competitiondays are being held, please send us an email with your full name,email address, home town and mobile phone number along with theletters 'ZZ' to [email protected] and we will add you toour ever growing list.

ISSF Clay Target Shooting in WA“TAP” PROGRAM LAUNCHEDIN THE WA ISSF TARGETSHOOTING COMMUNITYAn initiative looking towards development of Junior’s inthe ISSF Disciplines within Western Australian waslaunched on completion of ISSF Flora & Fauna Carnivalheld over 13th & 14th March 2009.After a year of discussion, many months of planning to ensure therewere correct procedures and guidelines backing up the program,administration documentation for both the identified athlete andacceptance of Directors to the “TAP” Program was announced to theISSF members of Western Australia present at the ISSF Flora & FaunaCarnival.
The “TAP” program is aimed at identifying talented juniors or personsof interest in the area of ISSF, who with a little support once identi-fied, may achieve greater results over the years from that support. Thismay be the basis from which we will eventually see the start of ISSFshooters from WA, being in the Australian Team or even as anOlympic representative. WA has had Australian Team representativesover the years, but it has been a long time since any WA ISSF shoot-er has been either Commonwealth Games or Olympic consideration.The last Olympic consideration was John Harris back in 1956 andRobin Bailey for the Commonwealth Games in Auckland.
Under the “TAP” Program, the opportunity is only open to WA ISSFshooters, with the three (3) appointed Directors stealthily watchingall WA ISSF shooters looking for their potential and possibleselection into the “TAP” program. Hence the motto “Tapping into thefuture”. Apart from potential talent and skills, the important factorsthat the directors take into consideration are “ethics & morals”, whichis not only involving the potential inductee, but will include that ofthe families or current support base as well.
At the inaugural launch of the “TAP” Program, the ISSF memberspresent heard about the “TAP” Program then saw the identificationand acceptance of Mstr Brayden Harris as the first (1st) inductee tothe Program. Brayden shoots the ISSF discipline of Trap.
Brayden is a Junior now and will be for another four (4) years. Hispotential in his chosen ISSF discipline has been watched and mappedover the past two (2) years, culminating with his performances at the2009 ACTA (inc) ISSF Nationals held in Sydney at Cecil Park duringJanuary 2009. Brayden’s talent, attitude, composure and ethicsdisplayed themselves completely whilst away with the WA ISSF Teamduring the National, which was the very first he attended.
The support base that these credential have been built on, come fromhis immediate family and their history in shooting. Brayden’s father,
Elliot, was the first Junior DTL shooter to win the prestigiousinaugural Roy Alexander “Junior DTL High Gun” back in 1982 whenit was introduced as an incentive to supporting and acknowledgingJuniors in the DTL disciplines. This trophy is still presented eachyear at the 2 day WACTA (Inc) State DTL carnival held inSeptember/October each year. Next is his grandfather, John Harris,who was a phenomenal State ISSF Trap champion many times over,having the WACTA (Inc) State ISSF perpetual trophy named afterhim and also Australian Team representative. Plus more importantly,John was the reserve for the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne. NedHarris, Brayden’s great grandfather also features heavily in Brayden’sshooting genes by being the Founding Member of the CMT GunClub and his name also proudly etched on a State’s Double Riseperpetual trophy.
Currently support that will be provided to Brayden is through pro-vision of gunfitting, targets, ammunition, uniform plus shootingjacket, vision testing, training program & coaching support, identifiedMentors on the Eastern seaboard, who will assist him when in attend-ance at Eastern States identified shoots and media releases wherepossible. At this point, it should be noted that the Directors (LindsayHemley, David Carroll & Christine Alexander) have not restricted thesearch to just the ISSF Trap, but are also looking at shooters in theother two(2) disciplines ISSF Skeet & ISSF Double Trap plus consider-ing both genders. The first part of support offered to Brayden was hisattendance at the Adam Vella Coaching weekend held over 6th & 7thMarch 2009, prior to the two day Flora & Fauna Carnival.
As the future of our ISSF shooting in WA progresses, we would alsobe looking at the other programs available through other entries thatwill offer more scope to increase our identified athletes support need
Presentation & Induction Brayden Harris into the “TAP”Program
with the hope of each athlete performing better results because of thesupport accessed and provided.
The “TAP” Program is purely for those juniors and other identifiedpotentially talented people, truly interested in being involved andshooting ISSF for the challenging and rewarding discipline that it is.This is a special initiative that hopefully will one day see a Junior orperson of interest from Western Australia become an Olympian. Theassembled ISSF members present at the 2 day ISSF Flora & FaunaCarnival, welcomed and applauded the initiative, which is aimed atbeing a component in the future direction of ISSF in WesternAustralia.
This initiative the “TAP” Program (to be known as the project) wouldnot be possible without the support and commitment by sponsorsRoy Alexander & Sons, Corsivia-GB, Olin Winchester, Eyes on Oxfordand Peter Boylson. Support has been offered from Highland Sports &Beretta Australia plus our supporting mentors Adam Vella & GeorgeBarton. To all, we thank you for having the foresight with thisinitiative and being in partnership with the Directors of the “TAP”Program and tapping the future of ISSF in Western Australia.
COACH IN RESIDENCE - ISSFSKEET COACHING DAY WITHGEORGE BARTON 13TH MARCHAs said about the ISSF Trap and Double Trap area, the ISSFskeet members of Western Australia were asked about apossible chance to have George Barton (Olympian,Commonwealth medalist and Australian Team Member) tocome across to WA prior to the 2 day Flora & FaunaCarnival and host a Coach in Residence session. From therehe would stay and compete in the 2 day Carnival. All theISSF Skeet shooters agreed and again it was a self fundedinitiative with minimal support from the raffles conducted.Due to the number of ISSF Skeet shooters, this was alwaysgoing to be hard to arrange without huge costs involved.News of the coaching weekend was sent out to all currently involvedand known ISSF members by personal contact and fliers to each Clubin WA. Unfortunately any previous ISSF coaching conducted wassolely aimed at ISSF Trap & Double Trap and to members outside ofthe ISSF members, who to date have had little if any involvement inISSF. Hence to say this weekend was directly aimed at ISSF peoplefor the advancement of them and their skills, which will in turn assistthe state when it comes time for Team Selection and Nationalsinvolvement.
Over the coaching day there were two (2) Ladies, five (5) new ISSFSkeet shooters and 3 other experienced participants. All of those inattendance had different skills level and time involvement, rangingfrom many years to just one year. This was an excellent outcome andan excellent basis to build future ISSF Skeet Coaching weekends on.
The day began with George initially having a discussion coveringseveral topics, issues relating to travelling, drugs in sport, fitness &
diet, gun fitting, the importance of vision training and the need forpractical skills training. Once these issues were exhausted, it was timeto hit the tracks and for George to start earning his money throughthe practical training time and imparting of the finer points of ISSFSkeet. Those who were new members to ISSF Skeet, were sent outfirst and given greater time to undertake coaching with George. Then,the more experienced followed and likewise, George made mentionedof changes that could be made to each persons; shooting style thatwould assist in hitting more targets.
Although some of the participants had previously been given the sameor similar information from the home grown Coaches, the fact thatGeorge (an Olympian, Commonwealth medalist and Australian Teammember) was imparting the knowledge gave credibility to this infor-mation, with the athletes taking intense notice and eager to absorb theknowledge more readily. The day saw 10 participants observe, partakeand give feedback as to the value of the coaching plus George’sattendance, which was done over drinks and nibbles at the day’scompletion. Participants of the coaching day paid a nominal sum forparticipation in the Coach in Residence day program. Proof ofGeorge’s impact was seen over the next two days of competitionwhereby the students pushed the master at times to actively concen-trate and succeed in the 2 day ISSF Flora & Fauna Carnival.
Thanks must go to George forcoming over and giving us our firstISSF Skeet coaching session, hisvaluable time and staying on to par-ticipate in our Annual 2 day Flora &Fauna Carnival. Thanks go to DaveCarroll for opening up the ISSFfacility and being on hand if anytrouble arose plus to Murray & ChrisAlexander for accommodating andtransporting George whilst in WA.
Now that after some time, we havemanaged to get this ISSF Skeetcoaching underway, we hope that inthe future there will be many more.This was the beginning of the ISSFSkeet coaching program and as timegoes on we will attempt to continuebuilding participation base in thechallenging discipline of ISSF and pursue our goal to increase ourperformance level at State and National level representation.
Finally at the end of both the ISSF Trap and ISSF Skeet coachingclinics, we would like to thank Lindsay Hemley, the WACTA (Inc)ISSF Delegate for the support he personally gave to those initiatives.Most importantly, Plantagenet Wines for their sponsorship support inproviding the bottle of Omrah 2004 Shiraz, which assisted in raisingfunds for both of these initiatives and also the many competitors whosupported the raffle plus attended the Coaching Clinics.
ISSF WA, striving for participation, performance and excellence.
COACH IN RESIDENCE ISSF &DOUBLE TRAP COACHINGWEEKEND WITH ADAM VELLA7TH & 8TH MARCHOn the weekend of the 7th & 8th March, the first of the ISSFCoaching weekends commenced with the ISSF fraternity ofWestern Australia, with coaching support through selffunding of the weekend with Adam Vella and then thefollowing with George Barton. This ISSF coaching initiativeweekend came through a conversation at the Nationals inthe Skeet area.The coaching had been on the books for a long time but unfortu-nately had not been able to come to fruition due to Adam’s workload
New shooter being given someSkeet coaching insight

and shooting commitment clashes. Initially it was hoped that Adamwould be able to attend prior to the 2 day Flora & Fauna Carnivaland then shoot the Carnival, therefore giving all WA ISSF shootersworld class and new competition to shoot against. UnfortunatelyAdam had a prior engagement for that weekend and so it as sched-uled for 7th & 8th March 2009, the weekend preceding. AssistingAdam over the coaching weekend was Christine Alexander (NCASLevel 2) and Dave Carroll.
News of the coaching weekend was sent out to all currently involvedand known ISSF members by SMS and personal contact. PreviousISSF coaching conducted was aimed outside of the ISSF membersand to date there has been little if any involvement by those members who participated, other than the Juniors & Youth memberswho are already shooting ISSF. Hence to say this weekend, being selffunded with a little support from raffles run, was directly aimed atISSF people for the advancement of them and their skills which willin turn assist the State when it comes time for Team Selection andNationals involvement.
Over the 2 days of Coaching, there was one junior Brayden Harrisand 19 other participants, including Clint from Kalgoorlie. All ofthose in attendance had different skills level and time involvement,
ISSF Shooting in WAContinued from page 65
ranging from many years to just over one year. This was an excellentout come and basis to build future ISSF coaching weekends on.
The outline for the weekend with Adam was Day 1 covering generaltopics and practical training with ISSF Trap and Day 2 ISSF Trapplus Double Trap. Included in the weekend were informal discussionson issues relating to travelling, drugs in sport, fitness & diet, gunfitting and importance of vision training. Once these issues wereexhausted on both days, maximum practical training time wasafforded the participants so that Adam was able to impart the finerof the respective disciplines.
Although some of the participants had been given previously thesame or similar information from home grown coaches, the fact thatAdam (an Olympian, Commonwealth medalist and World Champion)was imparting the knowledge gave credibility to this information,with the athletes taking notice and absorbing the knowledge morereadily. Each day saw up to 20 participants observe, partake and givefeedback as to the value of the weekend and of Adam’s attendance.Participants of the coaching weekend paid a nominal sum each dayfor the coach in residence program.
Thanks must go to Adam for coming over and giving us this valuable time out of his busy schedule along with Dave & ChrisCarroll for accommodating and transporting Adam plus Dave’s ableassistants Peter Boylson, Steve Sharp, Lindsay Hemley (State ISSFDelegate) and Chris Alexander. Thanks also to the West AustralianGun Club (Inc) for having the machinery and facilities up to thequality required for such a program.
This was the beginning of the ISSF coaching programs and as timegoes on we will attempt to continue building the base in thechallenging discipline of ISSF and pursue our goal to increase ourperformance level at State and National level representation.

Victorian State Night ChampionshipsThe Echuca Clay Target Club had on the Friday night of May8, one State and two North East Zone, Championships toattract the four squads of shooters who attended on thereasonably cold autumn night. Although the committee hadhoped for a larger roll-up of competitors, for State events!They did come from a very wide area, including Werribee,Kyneton Deniliquin, and Numurkah / Shepparton. As soon asthe weather turns cold it is difficult to attract large numbersto night shoots, so in reality four full squads of shooters isprobably a reasonable turnout. Apart from being cold thenight was calm, making for good results under lights.The first event shot was a 15 Pair Victorian State, North East Zone,Night Double Rise Championship, and without the need for a shootoff, Deniliquin member, Tim Maher, dropping only five targets, wonfor himself the Overall Winners Sash and 1st in AA grade trophy withhis 25/30 score. Well shot Tim! AA grade 2nd was Echuca memberWarrick Kelvy finishing with a score of 21/30.
Second event shot was a 20 Pair, Victorian State, Night DeauvilleDoubles Championship. Being shot off the 22 metre mark, and underlights, made this event a very tough assignment, but Club president,Ron Traill, teaming up with Club member, Warrick Kelvy, provedtheir shooting prowess by dropping only a solitary pair of targets,giving them the Overall Winner Sashes with their excellent 19/20
score. Runners up were Allen Cole Numurkah/Shepparton andC Burns with a score of 18/20 pair.
The last event was a 25 Target, Victorian State, North East Zone,Night Double Barrel Championship, and Warrick Kelvy was the onlycompetitor to put a full score on the board, collecting the OverallWinners Sash, and 1st in AA grade trophy with his perfect score of25/25. And well shot Warrick! Retiring North East Zone secretary,and Numurkah/Shepparton member, Russell Felmingham, was runnerup in AA grade, shooting a 24/25 score.
For virtually all shooters, competing under lights happens onlyrarely, so the scores shot on this night were actually very good, anda testament to the quality of the shooters attending. With plenty ofhot food and drink supplied by Dot Roberts and Heather Bradleymuch appreciated girls and a shoot that ran very smoothly, andfinished early, all shooters really enjoyed the night of competition. Full results are as follows: Event One NEZ Night Double Rise OA & 1st in AAT Maher 25/30, AA 2nd W Kelvy 21/30, A 1st A Cole 21/30, A 2nd R Traill19/30, B 1st B Preston Werribee 21/30, B 2nd Ian Gebhardt Echuca 20/30, C 1stLuke Stratford Kyneton 12/30, C 2nd Luke Hipwell Echuca 10/30.

Day/Night at Kempsey CTC
Our first Day/Night shoot for the yearwas on Saturday March 18th and itwas a cooler autumn day, windy andcloudy, and as the evening closed inthe temperature dropped considerably.We had a number of shooters fromNewcastle Lake Macquarie CTC whomade the journey up to Kempseyto shoot. We always appreciate thesupport of other clubs and it’s great tocatch up with old friends. The timebetween events is always a lot shorterwhen you have good company tonatter with. Hold on maybe that’s justus girls who feel that way. Anyway,it’s always wonderful to see fellowshooters from our other clubs.We went out for the first event the 25 TargetDouble Barrel Cash Divide and the resultswere AA Grade P Baker 25/25, G Gosling24/25, R McLean 21/25, A Grade P Deland, SSaul, J Piper 24/25, B Grade A Baker 25/25,
D Piper, B Cameron, B Griffiths 24/25, CGrade A Minter, B Pharo, E Saul 24/25.
Our second event was the 75 Target MixedChampion of Champions (25t x DB, SB, PS).This was shot in three walks and provedinteresting as the breeze picked up. Theresults were Overall Phillip Baker 122/125,AA Grade 1st G Gosling 110/125, A Grade1st P Deland 119/125, 2nd K Miller 115/125,B Grade 1st B Neill 118/125, 2nd A Baker113/125, C Grade 1st K Gosling 115/125,2nd E Saul 109/125.
As we continued to shoot into the late after-noon, we were getting wafts of the meatscooking on the Webber. Shooting well, whilesimultaneously salivating was difficult forsome of us. Those with true dedication andsteadfast focus were unperturbed and con-tinued to break target after target. No, thatwasn’t me, I am easily distracted and thesmell of good food cooking is as good as anydistraction.
To provide a little entertainment between theday and the night shoot, we had a noveltybox shoot. We all lined up, put our gold coinin the box then spun a chocolate wheel toestablish a distance that a target could bereleased from. The interesting part was theshooter had no idea when the bird would fly.It was released anywhere between 25 and 15meters as the shooter walked up the centrelane. Shooters had to keep walking towardsthe trap with gun down and suddenly, infailing light the little fluro bird sailed off into

the sunset. Even top shooters saw their targetsland safely in the drop zone. I managed tobring even more laughs to those assembledby narrowly missing the trap house as thebird dropped quickly from 24 metres, andthen I preceded to blow the ground to piecesin a great cloud of dust, only to see my littlefluro bird land gently in the grass justbeyond. Hardly any of the following shooterscould compose themselves enough to seetheir target, let alone shoot at the littleblighter. Great psychological tactics whenloosing. The final shooter who broke theirtarget was Andrew Baker who collected thebox of coins and accolades of fellow shooters.
The sun set fully and the lights took effectbefore our shoot which commenced with the10 Target Double Barrel cash divide eyeopener. If you didn’t break every target thenyour chance of seeing a cent of prize moneydisappeared with the unbroken targets intothe dark. The winners were of 10 TargetDouble Barrel were AA Grade GrahamGosling, Phil Baker 10/10, Steve McMahon8/10, A Grade P. Deland, Ross McLean & JohnPiper 10/10, B Grade Ted Baker, Jack Gosling10/10, Dick Piper 9/10, C Grade AbbyMcMahon 10/10, Dianne Deland, K Gale 9/10.
The second event of the evening wasthe night Club Championship, the 50Target Points Score. The targets wereas clear as anything in the eveningsky, under the spot lights. I clearlyremember lots of little orange flurotarget flying off into the dark. I won-dered what they were all doing, downin the paddock in the dark and myfellow shooters continue to ask me“why do you I think you missed thosetargets Lesley? Simple I was thinkingof total rubbish instead of watchingthe target and hitting it. I havemastered the watching part but thehitting bit evades me regularly. I’msure that will come. There is alwaysnext shoot. The successful shooters inthe 50 Target Point Score Night ClubChampionship were Overall PaulDeland 143/150, AA Grade 1st SteveMcMahon 135/150, 2nd G Gosling132/150, A Grade 1st Kerry Miller134/150, 2nd Ross McLean 133/150,B Grade 1st Billy Griffiths 133/150,2nd Jamie Griffiths 129/150, C Grade1st Kelby Gosling 130/150, 2ndCharlotte Piper 127/150.
It was a great day and night shootingand a big thank you goes out to ourwonderful catering team, KerryPowick, Robyn Baker and MegGosling. Thanks ladies for the greatmeals. Also to our exhausted scorers,Lesley and Jenny Baker, they didn’tseem to stop all day and night andundoubtedly slept well that night, asdid we all.

Wangaratta Hosts NEZ Trap CarnivalVictoria’s North East Zone Trap Carnival was held onSaturday the 16th of May at the Wangaratta Clay TargetClub, and it attracted a good field of eighty shooters, alleager to win, and share the excellent trophies on offer.With rain and strong winds forecast for the area, possibly someshooters decided not to attend, especially if they had high kilometresto travel, but fourteen squads of competitors pleased the North EastZone committee immensely, resulting in an excellent carnival, whichunfortunately finished right on darkness, mainly through most, if notall, shooters, arriving virtually an hour late to start. The promised rain
did not appear, and the wind proved to be only a gentle whisper,making for good shooting conditions throughout the entire day.
Russell Felmingham, the Zone’s retiring Secretary/Treasurer must becongratulated for the effort he put in, both in purchasing the excel-lent trophy line-up, and helping to run the program, and he wasrewarded, with an Overall win in the NEZ Single BarrelChampionship, beating Robert Godfrey after Robert dropped his 37thtarget in the shoot off. Robert Echuca collected 2nd in AA grade withhis 36/37 score. Russell Cosgrove picked up the Overall Winners Sash

Five Stand Sporting ClaysWangaratta Clay Target Club, May 2009
traps were set to throw targets that required lots of skill tonot only pick up but also to get the correct amount of leadboth in front and below the falling target to make a hit. Thenext two brackets of 25 targets included some difficult onesalso but also a few that were a little easier to connect with
which improved most shooters score cardsand certainly in my own case confidence aswell. The weather was perfect and the wholeday ran smoothly and finished early, whichallows shooters who travel some distance toattend time to return home at a reasonablehour. Thank you to the kitchen staff, BrettJory and his team of dedicated helpers insetting up all the traps and all volunteerson the day.
