Both groups had theirdramas getting there. The Juniors missedtheir connection in Frankfurt and had towait six hours for another, and as is the casethese days two guns did not arrive leavingGleniss and two Juniors to wait at theairport till 7:30pm for them to arrive on alater flight. They finally arrived at the hotelat 10:00pm, nearly 40 hours after leavinghome.

The seniors only had a 45 minute flight, sohow hard can that be I hear you say. Whenflying with Alitalia, damn hard. Theycharged us 30 Euro ($55) for each gun to beput through security for the flight to Veronaairport. Fair enough, security comes at aprice. Then when we get to Verona, they stiffus for another 20 Euro ($35) per gun to getthem out of security ...... only in Italy.

Our hotel was the Benaco in Desanzano abeautiful town on the shores of Lake del

Garda. We had previously stayed at theBenaco and whilst basic was clean and closeto restaurants albeit a one kilometre walkdown a steep hill to the centre of town.Walking down, no problems. Walking backup the hill on a full stomach, was anotherstory.

Lonato is the centre of the shooting world asfar as passion for the sport and facilities go.It has a great range made up of 7 trap fieldsand 5 skeet fields with 3 superimposed. Ithas as a backdrop made up of a 25m highmound at the 100m mark. The mound iscovered with green shade cloth and with thegrass between the bunker and the moundmakes for one of the best backgroundsanywhere. The machines used are the ItalianSerena’s.

As the entries for this World Championshipswere also large the trap and skeet was to be

contested over 3 days instead of 2. Allevents carried Olympic quotas for Beijingwith them being awarded to the highestunquotered shooter (a shooter may only winone for any Olympics)

interest than ever. The Aussies struggledwith the quicker, flatter targets and neverfound their timing and rhythm.

Women’s Skeet1. Giradet-Allard V FRA 72 + 24 = 962. Vitali C ITA 72 + 21 = 933. Bartekova D SVK 71 + 21 = 924. Wei N CHN 70 + 21 = 91 + 25. Spada K ITA 70 + 21 = 91 + 16. Meftakhetdinova Z AZE 70 + 20 = 9025. Reeves C AUS 64 (22 22 20)Whilst not up to the level of the top shootersCherie performed well considering this washer first international event.

Men’s Skeet1. Hancock V USA 123 + 25 = 1482. Falco E ITA 122 + 25 = 1473. Graves J USA 121 + 25 = 146 + 264. Al Rashidi A KUW 121 + 25 = 146 + 255. Golding A DEN 121 + 24 = 1456. Rodriguez J CUB 120 + 23 = 14336. Barton G AUS 116 (24 24 24 22 22)50. Barton C AUS 114 (23 25 20 23 23)

The 16 year old American Vincent Hancockreversed the tables on Falco from the RomeWorld Cup the week before by just one

target. This kid has just won in Korea,second in Rome and now won the OpenWorld Championship, not a bad effort fromthree starts. He is certainly the talk of theshooting world at the moment. Both theBarton boys were in the mix after the firstday but then faded out of contention. Whilstthe new reverse double rule on station fourhas lowered the averages slightly, it hasn’ttaken the top shooters long to work it out.

Men’s Trap1. Fabbrizi M ITA 121 + 23 = 1442. Mola M ITA 121 + 21 = 1423. Glasnovic J CRO 120 + 21 = 141 + 44. Bindrich K GER 121 + 20 = 141 + 35. Santana L ESP 120 + 19 = 1396.

The Italians shot exceptionally well to haveall three in the final. Tom performedconsistently to be only one target out of thefinal, and the team shot well enough to takethe team silver. Running second to the

Italians is no mean feat as there are manypowerhouse nations in the world of trapshooting and this silver team medal againshows that Australia is consistently upamong the top ranked countries in theworld. Michael and Adam shot well on whatis a proven range for producing lowerscores.

Women’s Trap1.Gelesio D ITA 70 + 21 = 912. Laritcheva I RUS 71 + 19 = 903. Nattrass S CAN 69 + 20 = 894. Kiermayer S GER 69 + 17 = 865. Ma H CHN 68 + 17 = 856. Baynes D AUS 68 + 13 = 8119. Balogh S AUS 66 (23 24 19)34. Roiall S AUS 62 (17 23 22)

The Italian Gelesio has made the transitionfrom double trap to trap with ease as shewore down the Russian in the single barrelfinal to emerge the winner. Deserie did wellto make the final considering she has had ayear off from international competition buthad a final she would rather forget. Suzyand Stacy both had one round that put themout of the race but showed they will be morethan competitive in the future.

The occasion got the better of the Juniorsand while they didn’t perform as well as weknow they can, they gave it their best shot.This is the youngest team we have evertaken to the Worlds with one being 14, two16 and the rest under 19. They all have timeleft in the Junior ranks and as long as theylearn and benefit from the experience it willhold them in good stead for the future.

With the World Championships over all wehad to do was exit the country and youwould think that with 600 shooters all doingjust that, it would be a relatively easy task.Apparently if you were flying with anyairline other than Alitalia that would be true.The bottom line is they wanted to charge us150 Euro ($280) excess for each gun,multiply by 16 guns..... After 2 hours ofarguing we checked the guns to Frankfurtonly, collected them there, rechecked themand got away without paying any excess.

Overall the team did not perform to theirown high expectations but we cannot affordto procrastinate, as our focus must now turnto preparing for the Commonwealth Gamesin Melbourne in March 2006.

Small gauge Skeet shooting will be the main focus at the SydneyOlympic facility Cecil Park on 12th & 13th November 2005.

With the overhaul of the National Shooting ground Wagga inpreparation for the World DTL Championships next year, a change ofvenue was required for the 2005 Skeet Nationals. Cecil Park wasselected. A change of program for the Skeet Nationals saw Saturday12th November free of competition and with no Pre Nationalprogram the NSWCTA saw the opportunity to promote Skeet with thecommencement of two new Small Gauge Championships.

A 28 Gauge and 410 Gauge NSW State Championship both of 50Targets will be shot on Saturday 12th, to follow on the Sunday 13thwill be the 7th National 20 Gauge Skeet Championship of 100Targets. This gives Skeet shooters the chance to shoot 200 SmallGauge targets over the two day weekend.

A High Gun over the 200 Targets has been sponsored by Mialls GunShop Frankston. The trophy donated is a full set of Briley Side Kickswith 410, 28, & 20 Gauge. This is a tremendous trophy and shouldincrease interest in the event.

Winchester has agreed to sponsor the two NSW Championships andWinchester Small Gauge Ammunition will be used as trophies forboth championships. Winchester Small Gauge ammunition will beavailable at the ground.

Shooters who don’t have small gauge guns will have the opportunityto compete in these events as a pool of guns will be available forshooters to use.

On the weekend of 25th and 26th June theCairns Target Shooting Club hosted theNorthern Zone ISSF Championships. It wasdecided to forgo the usual Double TrapChampionship in favour of an increasedTrap and Skeet programme of 175 targetsplus Final. The response to this was positivefor the Trap, attracting 24 shooters from11 clubs. Unfortunately, as always the Skeethad less competitors, and the event wascompleted, minus the Final, with only fourshooters.

Host club member Jar Smaniotto soughtsponsorship for the event, and thanks to thegenerosity of Nimmo Bruce FirearmsSpecialist, Peter Nuebecker Electrical, BatteryWorld, Exact Crash Repairs, Jar’s TilingService, Dexter Barnes, Clay TargetsAustralia and Remington Shot Shells theNorthern Zone was able to offer sizable prizemoney and trophies for the Trap event forthe first time.

The Skeet event was completed on the

Saturday, with Overall going to CherieReeves of Normanton, second to SteveMcDowall, Cairns, third to Pat Dury, Towns-ville, and fourth to Henry Haythorpe alsoof Townville.

The Trap event was a little more fiercelycontested, with Jar Smaniotto emergingvictorious from the single barrel Final, witha total score of 181-200, followed closely byDexter Barnes, of Frankston AustralianGun Club on 178-200, having closed the gapby shooting an impressive 22 in the Final,just edging out Wayne Reeves, Normantonon 176-200. AA Grade went to Derek Bruce,Cairns, A Grade to Bruce Murphy,Townsville, B Grade to Andrew Carr, Cairns,and C Grade to Lui Poplin, Burdekin ClayTarget Club. The Women’s section was wonby Michelle Beecham, Frankston AustralianGun Club. The Junior section went to AdinRichardson, Gold Coast Clay Target Club,and Nimmo Bruce, Cairns took out theVeteran’s.

A big Thank You must go the Cairns TargetShooting Club for hosting the event, thesponsors and visitors for making it a success,volunteer refs and scorers, and everyonewho helped in any way. We look forwardto seeing you in Normanton for the 2006Northern Zone ISSF Championships.

your say

Dear Your Say,

I agree wholeheartedly with Peter McDonald’s letter in August newsre $10 levy. I have heard many shooters say they are thinking ofleaving the ACTA for Field and Game or even taking on anothersport, some I know have already done this. As you say Peter, if theelite few want bigger prize value, let them dig deeper, don’tpenalise the majority. After all, this is a sport or is it? What with allthe grade manipulating, I wonder.

I have been a registered shooter since 1963 and have competed atmany clubs throughout the states. I’ve seen many changes, someI’ve agreed with and some not, but this, penalising every shooterfor a few is just not on. Seems like a case of too many chiefs andnot enough Indians.

I am responding to letters’ in the recent Shooters News concerningour SPORT.

Firstly to D/B events and Long Shoot offs’

It may be OK at State and National level, but for small clubs thatsometimes do not draw a lot of squads, it seems a little ludicrous togo to 200-300 or better to win a 25 Target event. When clubs aredrawing up the yearly program, I think committees should put morethought into single barrel and point events. After all P/S is D/Banyway, and more satisfying.

Secondly I presume, after a lot of negative feedback from Shootersand Clubs, the rules board have done a backflip on the GradePercentages, that no one wanted in the first place. On the eye andear protection being optional, any one in our sport should makethat a priority. We only have two of each.

Now, all that has to be done is put the Angles and Distance Targets,back to what they where, and stop BUGGERISING around with oursport.

Dear Your Say

I have a simple question to which I would like an honest answer.

There are 5 Clubs in the Sydney metropolitan area which in the1998 financial year had approx 2000 registered ACTA memberswhich at the time contributed directly and indirectly $30,000 to theState Ass and $10,000 to the Zone.

I believe that membership has fallen in recent years but I estimatethat in the last 7 years at least $150,000 to $200,000 has beencontributed correct me if I am wrong.

The answer I am seeking is how that money was spent. I havecertainly not seen any benefit to my Club.

All chokes are machined from high tensile stainlesssteel in the U.K. and are manufactured on state-of-the-art CNC machinery, inspected to exacting tolerances based on the synchronized precise boresize of the gun and modern manufacturing techniques (ISO 9002).

Dear Your Say,

Further to the very valid points made by K Calder (Sept issue)regarding prolonged trap shoot offs, I would like to make thefollowing comments. Firstly, remember much has been donerecently to make D.T.L. targets much more shootable and this has infact created the problem with which we are now faced. Therefore,why not remove the problem by reverting to the previous rules ofwidening the angles and throwing the target fifty metres? I wouldbe most surprised if there was not a significant decrease in thenumber of possibles shot and a similar decrease in “long breaks”.Long term, we may even produce better shooters.

Another couple of changes for consideration would be to shoot moreContinental (possibly points score) and Handicap (meterage) events.

Don’t forget that in order for clubs to have funds to buy targets forthese extended shoot offs, someone has to pay, so as long as thistrend continues so will the probability of increases in club fees ornominations.

As most of us consider ourselves as sportsmen and women andhopefully don’t want something for nothing, then thoseparticipating in these lengthy shoot-offs would possibly be preparedto reimburse the club for the cost of targets used, if asked.

Dear Your Say

I read with interest the letter from Peter McDonald in the Augustjournal re a proposed $10.00 levy by the VCTA.

I agree with his objection as here in NSW the levy collected by theNSWCTA benefits only 5% of NSW shooters.

The levy has been collected since 1999 and not a cent has trickledthrough to benefit my club.

I would suggest that the legality of the proposed levy bequestioned.

Psychological Skills for Shooting by Michael Kruger-Davis

What are the characteristics for us developing innerexcellence? Not all of us can be champions but we can allachieve inner excellence. According to Mack & Casstevens(2001) inner excellence is a way of thinking and a way ofacting; it is a quality of mind, a mentality that says nomatter how difficult things become, you are responsible andaccountable for your thoughts, feelings and actions. Theycontinue by saying that inner excellence is staying positivein negative situations, and it is dealing with adversity in anoptimistic way. It is finding love and joy in what you doand remaining steadfastly committed to your goals, values,and dreams. People with inner excellence look atcompetition as a challenge and are motivated by the desireto succeed rather than by a fear of failure. They possess anunconditional high self-esteem and self-image. They havea ‘can do’ attitude and a will to prepare to win.Inner excellence it seems are those qualities that we see portrayed inmovies and in novels. Working harder, refusing to give up, notblaming the game, looking after the smallest detail and giving extrawhen it is needed. Whilst these qualities are important it is necessaryto see that excellence goes beyond winning and losing.

INNER EXCELLENCESo what are the qualities of inner excellence? Mack & Casstevensoutline ten qualities that make up inner excellence.

The person who is a winner within has a dream. Dreams provide afocus from which we can develop goals and action. We need toimagine what we want and what we can do, this will form the basisof our vision. From this we need clear, realistic and achievable goalsand an action plan to put them into action.

Commitment. Inner excellence involves being committed to yourgoals. This means making sure they are real, achievable, measurableand fun. The goals should also be motivating to keep you comingback to training and competition.

Responsibility. This quality means that you don’t let what you can’tdo interfere with what they can do. This means thoughts, feelings andactions; it is important not to let your thoughts create negativefeelings that will have an impact on your ability to achieve.

Openness to learning and growing. Inner excellence turns weaknessinto strength. Challenges need to be seen as opportunities to learn,grow and develop, and not as threats that will limit your performanceand enjoyment.

Optimism. It is an essential element of inner excellence that you areoptimistic. This doesn’t mean that you try to look for some positivewhen you lose but means that you are able to see the opportunitiesin life and not the threats.

Self confidence. It is necessary to believe in yourself and yourabilities. No one can outperform his or her self-image. Be aware ofhow you see yourself and remember that if you don’t like it whenothers put you down, then don’t put yourself down either. It isimportant to know that no-one can take away your self-esteemwithout your permission. Have the courage to grow up and fulfil yourpotential.

Emotional control. Those of you who are regular readers of thesecolumns will have heard before that we need to let go of our ownjudgements. Perform at your level without judging it against someunrealistic, external measure.

The adversity quotient. Look at obstacles as opportunities and viewsetbacks as springboards for comebacks.

Have a backbone of character. Athletes with inner excellence practisegood sportsmanship. Elite athletes see success without honour as anunseasoned meal it may taste good but it won’t satisfy your appetite.

Be persistent and patient. Whatever you do; don’t give up on yourdream. Edison had over ten thousand attempts at making the lightbulb before he succeeded. When asked if it was a waste of time, hereplied, no and that he had learnt ten thousand ways how not tomake the light bulb.

Inner excellence allows us the opportunity to perform at our best. Itprovides us with a vehicle that will give us permission to win.

It must be remembered that working on the inside (working towardsinner excellence) shows on the outside (your performance). What liesahead of us or behind us is of little importance compared to what lieswithin us.

What can I say? Not exactly the weatherwe were hoping for with the day beingovercast, rainy and winds blowing thepaint off the trap houses. Fifty oneshooters braved the conditions to have acrack at the title and have their nameengraved on the Championship board asthe 2005 Sydney CTC Club Double Barrelchampion.With the gale force winds and the targetsdancing around like nothing else it wasalways going to be tough. No shooter hadshot the 50 targets clean in the Pointscorebut we were still hopeful of getting one fiftyin the Double Barrel. With six peopleshooting 49 (including yours truly) it lookedlike we were set to shoot off with only asquad of ‘B’ graders to come in, but localshooter Craig Lysaght had other ideas takingthe Overall Sash and Championship with alone 50.

Just for the record, we have shot four of theClubs Championships so far and ‘B’ gradeshooters have taken two, ‘AA’ grade and ‘A’grade Championships, one a piece. It justgoes to show that it is not how good you are,but how good you are on the day!

July 9 and 10 2005 were two contrasting days, Saturday verycold with continuous rain and wind, Sunday clear and sunny

all day. With 150 OlympicTrap targets to be shot overthe two days, Saturday’sweather ensured the finalscores would not be amongthe best ever shot, althoughthe end results werereasonable.With a good rollup of shootersincluding some of Australia’sbest, and Echuca Clay TargetClub only possessing oneOlympic Trap layout, thecommittee did an excellent jobkeeping the shoot runningsmoothly and finishing the eventby 3.30pm. Echuca is hopingwith the help of some govern-ment grant money to secure a

fully automatic Olympic Trap setup in the near future which wouldmake Echuca a destination for Commonwealth Games shooters andtheir families to visit, to train.

Australian team member, Frankston registered, Adam Vella stood outfrom all others by showing the way to win, shooting a score of159/175 collecting the Overall trophy and Sash. Another teammember Nathan Castles also ending on a very good score of 134/150collecting 1st in AA grade. 1st in A grade was Craig Henwood133/150, 1st in B was Tony Demuri 129/155, 1st in C was RobAnderson 108/150, winner of the Ladies was Stacey Roiall on119/150, Junior, Todd Malone on 127/150.

All second placings were as follows, AA grade Steve Trembath119/150, A grade Nidal Asmar 131/150, B grade Andrew Jacotine128/150, C grade was lady shooter Anna Shedrina on 97/150.

In all a very successful Grand Prix round. Echuca committee doesapologize to the shooters for the bad weather on Saturday, but withthe warm clubroom, and good catering by Dot Roberts and herhelpers, shooters were backed as much as is possible, and the rainwas appreciated by the local farmers.

OCTOBER - 2005

Wow, the Brazil World Cup was shot in August, and MY GOD, thescores were massive. In the Trap event, one Pavel Gurkin from Russiashot 125/125 only to finish 4th after the final, where he shot a 19.Our own Michael Diamond unleashed a 124/125 but stumbled toshoot a 16 in the final to finish 6th. The Single Barrel final certainlyis tough, and doesn't take any prisoners. Tommy Turner shot a114/125 and Craig Henwood a 110/125. In the Double Trap, Tommywas our only representative, and finished 9th. Probably a good effortconsidering the passing of Tommy's father just a few weeks prior tohim departing for Brazil. I offer my condolences to the Turner family. While I am talking about World Cup's etc, I thought I would just letyou all know about a Junior American Skeet Shooter called VincentHancock. He is 16 years old and has achieved the followingphenomenal results this year:World Cup Changwon, Korea - 124/125 + 25 = 149 Gold MedalWorld Cup Rome, Italy - 124/125 + 24 = 148 Silver MedalWorld Champs Lonato, Italy - 123/125 + 25 = 148 Gold MedalWorld Cup Belgrade, Slovenia - 123/125 + 25 = 148 Silver MedalWorld Cup Americana, Brazil - 124/125 + 25 = 149 Gold MedalI am not a Skeet shooter, but these scores are off the dial. This shooteris exciting, and people I know who have met him have told me he isa nice kid too, has his feet firmly on the ground. Just keep an eye onhim in the future. He is going to be hard to toss, and has a massivefuture ahead of him. This also sets a target for our own Skeet shooters, and hopefully liftstheir performances over the coming few years. Again credit must begiven to the ASA for securing the services of ex Russian Skeet coachValeriy Timokhin. He has been contracted by the ASA until the endof 2005 to try and raise the standard of ISSF Skeet in Australia. Iknow of a couple of Skeeties who have been seeing him, and scoreshave definitely lifted. So to all our aspiring ISSF Skeet shooters, youshould be taking advantage of his expertise while he is here, and witha little luck, maybe he will stay longer and be a huge benefit forAustralian Shooting.The Melbourne Grand Prix was shot on the 6th & 7th of August. Thenew layout worked a treat and was a pleasure to shoot there. AdamVella was the best over the weekend winning the Double Trap & TrapEvent. This was the last event of the 5 Grand Prix series, theVictorian State Titles is all that remains.

Are You Fairdinkum??Allegedly, Nidal (Nick) Asmar, the "Greatest Taxi Driver inMelbourne", upon leaving the Brazil World Cup decided to enter theUSA to visit some relatives. This seemed like a good idea at the time.Unfortunately for Nick he failed to obtain any relevant ImportPermits and his shotgun was confiscated and he was made to wait for2 days in Miami, while the Authority's got the permits.....

TOM TURNER (SNR)NOVEMBER 1936 - JULY 2005

The Cessnock Gun Club, informswith deep regret the passing ofour esteemed life member TomTurner (SNR).

Without any doubt Tom was achampion shot and a thoroughgentleman who was admired andrespected by all who knew him.

Tom was a tireless worker for ourclub, not only hands on but withimportant decisions in executivepositions.

There would hardly be a gun clubin NSW that he and wife Gwenhad not attended, and such wastheir personality and knowledgethey would be welcomed by all. So much so that Tom and Gwen wereLife Members of Cessnock Gun Club and Tom also at Upper Hunter.

Tom spent most of his working life in the coal mines and all of hisretired life shooting, fishing and working his way through the jobsGwen would find him to prevent him doing the other two seven daysa week.

We extend our deepest sympathy to Gwen, Steven, Paul, Tom Jnr andtheir families for this terrible and unexpected loss of this great,respected and caring gentleman who gave his all to his family,friends, fishing and clay target shooting. Tom will be deeply missedby all of those who were lucky enough to have known him.

Good bye Mate, leave some fish and a couple of boxes of clays upthere for the rest of us.

Cool but sunny conditions greeted 33shooters for what was to be a full day ofshooting. Yep, no rain, given that it looks asthough the drought has broken (on thePeninsula at least) we had fine conditions.Lucky because the previous couple of dayswere crappy and even as I write this it’spouring down. Yep this is a shoot write upand not a report from the Bureau OfMeteorology so I’ll cut the crap.

25DB first and in AA Paul Drennan posted apossible to take first (and my dollar). After anextended shoot off (cough cough) LC wassecond with a 29/30.

In A grade two of Nepean’s finest emergedvictorias, Mick Hutchins with a “rare”possible to take first and myself, after a shootoff with Boyd’y, second with a 49/50. B gradewas won by Frank Ibbott with a 30/31 who isa Yarrawonga member, but on recentlymoving to the area has joined Nepean andbecome one of our many elite (did I mentionNepean won). Second and crumbling underthe pressure of a shoot off was BruceSanderson with a 29/30. Lance Cazaly with a22/25 won C grade. Lance is starting to shootwell so now’s the time to stop coaching himfor we don’t want him in A. Mad MickMcKernan came second with an 18/25. Afterobserving him shoot over the ones he missed

Neil Bakker with Paul Drennan

he’s going to get the stock bent down on thatlovely piece of timber on his Miroku. (The useof a rasp in the back of my car was politelydeclined). Yep there was Morningtondomination in C grade, but as I may not havementioned, Nepean won the day!

40HCP. Every excuse in the book was used formissing the targets: slow button pushing,couldn’t see em, too high, too low, the personnext to me put me off, the targets were madeof aluminium, it was those crap crackers,Hecta turned up, I have to go out to dinnerwith the cook tonight. Whatever you canthink of “we” used it. When the scores camein there were three on 38/40, Woody, Pitt,Drennan. It was shoot off time. Drennandropped his second, Pitt crumbled under thepressure and Woody, one of Nepean’s finest(did I mention Nepean won) did a metre witha final score of 44/46.

Roger who chews PK as an aid to giving upsmoking, was observed by an anonymousperson walking off his nerves in the car parkprior to the shoot off chewing PK andsmoking, such was the pressure.

The dollars. Drennan took two from me, Itook two from foot fault Quickie and I’m stilltrying to track down Fozzy as he made ahasty retreat at the end of the day where’s me

buck fifty Pete? Good to see Mornington witha good turn out, it was rather prosperous formyself wasn’t it Graham? Good to see theFrankston blokes show as well. Speaking ofone Frankstonite, Laurie recently opened anew business with his partner specialising inpool excavations and trenching, he can becontacted on 1800 black dog, just follow theprompts.The results, Nepean (as maybe mentionedabove), second Cerberus I think, ThirdMornington with the final round to be held atMornington.

See you at the next shoot N.B.

his brilliant score of 372/375. John Malone took out B Grade with ascore of 362/375.

After the State Team shot they announced the Team High Gunwinners and Ray Collinson shared this prize with Cameron Deanafter they both shot 150/150. Well done. Annette Vassalini shot aperfect 75/75 to take the Women’s Team High Gun. Ray wascrowned the Trap Champion again this year with a perfect score of400/400.

Ray Collinson, Barry Bosworth and Rod Cusack all made the OpenState Team. Annette Vassalini made the Women’s team and DougKillick and Mick McGill made the Veteran’s team. Ray and Annettewere both successful in making their respective Shoulder to Shoulderteams to go to Wagga next year.

By the time this goes to print the Northern Zone carnivals will havebeen shot. The ISSF was in Cairns in June, the skeet in Townsville inJuly and the Trap in Normanton in August. There have beennumerous very successful annual shoots held in the last few monthsas well. Normanton’s by all accounts, up in Wayne’s world, was veryenjoyable with very good scores shot. Herbert River had theCommonwealth Night Continental Championship has part of theirprogram this year and a very ecstatic Col Edgerton from the PortDenison Gun Club won his first silk.

The Townsville annual was a little on the difficult side with the windplaying havoc with the targets. Mt Isa also held their annual in Juneand a good time was had by all. The Cloncurry and Port Denisonclubs will hold their annuals in July as well.

There is still no news from the Burdekin Clay Target Club with regardto restarting anywhere but they are still trying. The shooters are stillhaving major success even though they have no club to practice at,as the State Carnival is testament with four of the five Overall titlesup for grabs taken out by two Burdekin shooters.

The notes have been far and few between but we in the northernzone are a little laid back and when we get around to things they willhappen.

Myself and the rest of the members of HMAS DARWIN had finishedour second patrol in the Arabian Gulf and we were looking forwardto some well earned R&R.

The ship had organised a number of tours to allow us to enjoy thecity of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. Believe it or not, one ofthese tours was a chance to experience clay target shooting. Eachsession was 25 trap, 25 skeet and 25 sporting with instruction ifrequired. Obviously I have already experienced this sport, but

thinking this will be a good time to scratch that itch that I've had forthe previous two and half months, I put my name on the list andwaited impatiently for the day to arrive.

When the day finally arrived there were four of us from the shiplooking forward to going out and just enjoying ourselves andbreaking a few targets.

We arrived at what seemed a mix between a sixteenth century castleand a five star hotel. After the club's officials ensured ouridentifications were correct and the bookings were all in order we

were then shown down stairs, through a metal detector and into aroom where all firearms are stored. I believe this was the club vaultand I found myself looking at approximately one dozen firearms perrack of Trap, Skeet and Sporting for each and they were all Beretta686E's. I thought these were quality shotguns for training andteaching.

We were issued a club shooting jacket, and firearm, then made ourdecision to try our hand at Sporting first then move to Trap andfinally to Skeet.

When we arrived onto the layout I found a slight difference to whatI was accustomed to back home with the DTL trap sunken into theground much like the Ball Trap set up, otherwise everything else wasidentical to back home.

The club had approximately ten DTL layouts with Skeet superimposedover the top. Off to the left of the club house the Trench layout wassituated and as a Trenchie I was keen to have a look at their trapsand the sort of equipment they are using, but due to practice beingconducted I was unable have a look. At the opposite end was theArchery and Pistol range that was only available to members.

As advertised, the session took approximately two and half hours andon completion we went to their bar and enjoyed an ale or two whilewaiting for the driver to turn up and take us back to Port Rashid,where Darwin was berthed.

Turns out this is not only a bar but also an American Steak Houserestaurant but unfortunately we were unable sample the delights ofthis restaurant due to other commitments.

All in all everyone had a great time busting some clays and were veryappreciative of the help given by our instructor and supervisor David.

As this is my first International club I might be biased but this wouldhave to be the most lavish club I have ever been to and recommendit to all ACTA shooters for a look if the opportunity arises.

I hope to return to Jebel Ali where I might be able to have a go atthe Trench layout and have a snoop around.

Enjoy shooting and hope to see you around the traps later this year.

A Victorian North East Zone 75 Target, Champion of Championsevent was shot at Echuca Clay Target Club on the 31st of July 2005.Possibly because weather-wise it was a perfect day for clay targetshooting, or that the event is popular among competitors, it broughta roll up of seven full squads, which is very good for a fifth Sundayshoot at Echuca.

Competitors arrived from over a large area including Swan Hill,Bendigo, Costerfield, and Numurkah, and it was a Costerfield juniorshooter, Nathan Harris, only 13 years old that caught the eye of thecommittee with his capability, that picked up the juniorencouragement award for the shoot. Attendance of junior shootershas been increasing of late which is a good sign for the sport.

Scores were excellent on the day, with locals Steve Atkins, andDominec Costa both only one point down, shooting off for theOverall Sash, Steve eventually wearing Dominec down to collectOverall and AA Grade on an impressive score of 149/150. On a scoreof 145/150 Dominec collected 2nd in AA Grade, A Grade 1st waspicked up by Numurkah shooter Alan Cole on 121/125, A 2nd was DMilojevic on a 120/125, B Grade 1st F Gobbo with an 118/125, B 2ndJ Costa 117/125, C Grade 1st B McMinn 116/125 and C Grade 2nd WKelvy on a 113/125 score.

The shoot ran so smoothly that it was all over and presentationscompleted by 4pm so shooters were also offered a 20 pair Double Risecash divide event, and two 25 target practice Skeet Events, whichboth proved to be very popular with shooters.

On Thursday the 11th of August Echuca Clay Target Club hosts theNorth East Zone, School Students Championship, usually bringingroughly 200 young shooters together to compete over a 20 targetSingle Barrel event shot over the day.

July 22nd was cold and thankfully calm for Mathoura Gun Club’smonthly Friday night competition, which included two Handicapevents. Usually backmarkers have a struggle to post a good scoreshooting under lights, but George Bradley, shooting off 22 metersproved that theory wrong by hitting all ten in the eye opener, anddropping only one out of 25 in the main event, to collect first andoverall sash and trophy.

Roger Kerslake who shared the Handicap eye opener cash withGeorge, shot off with Murray Roberts for 2nd & 3rd in the main eventboth on 23/25, after only two targets Murray let one fly away givingRoger 2nd place, he collecting 3rd trophy.

Three squads made up the competition for the shoot, which is downon normal attendance, but for a cold July night, probably, really, areasonable turnout.

Event Three a 15 target Double Barrel Championship, two shootersMurray & George shooting a clean score to shoot off for 1st & 2ndwith George letting number 8 fly away giving Murray 1st on a scoreof 23/23, George picking up 2nd on 22/23. and 3rd after a 3 wayshoot off ending with junior, Jack Collicoat of Deniliquin survivingon a 25/26 score, and feeling pretty pleased with himself havingpushed out his dad Robert Collicoat in the shoot off.

After a lapse of ten years, clay targetshooting was once again included in the2005 Arafura Games. For those of you whodo not know or may have forgotten, theArafura Games is a biannual internationalsporting event held in Darwin. This year’sgames were held between the 14th & 21stMay with over 30 countries from as close asNew Zealand, Papua New Guinea & Timor,to as far as the USA, Italy and Englandsending competitors to try their luck.

For clay target shooting we were pleased tohave the company of teams from Chinese-Taipei, Papua New Guinea (which included 4juniors) & Brunei (which included 5 women)compete against our local Australians. The 5days of competition consisted of Day 1 & 2125TGT ISSF Trap, Day 3 75 Pair Double Trapand Day 4 & 5 125TGT ISSF Skeet.

With fantastic, clear calm 28C conditions,

competition began under the watchful eye ofA grade Judge and Tournament DirectorElaine Forward. Consistent scores fromDwayne Devanney, Christos Despotis andVincent Mollica saw the Australians take ahealthy lead on day one from Yao-fu Tsai ofTaipei, and Rizal Salleh and MohammedHanafi of Brunei. In the junior section AngusDonald of PNG had a one target lead withlocal junior Tom Hamilton and Darren Shortof PNG hot on his heels. Leading after each oftheir 3 rounds in the women section, Bruneishooter Norsah went into the final ahead offellow team mates None & Aishah with a 7target lead. None fought back in the final towithin 2 targets, but Norsah held on to winthe gold, with None silver and Aishahwinning the bronze. It was Aishah’s firstattempt at ISSF Trap and shot a welldeserving score.

With similar scoresposted as the previous day, the final six were,Vincent Mollica (Aus), Christos Despotis(Aus), Dwayne Devanney (Aus), Yao-fu Tsai(Taipei), Rizal Salleh (Brunei) and MohammedHanafi (Brunei). After the single barrel final,which saw some good and bad scores, thegold medal went to Vincent Mollica (Aus),with silver to Christos Despotis (Aus) and

Dwayne Devanney (Aus) taking out thebronze. An Australian trifecta.

With only one target separating 1st, 2nd &3rd in the juniors, the competition was toughright down to the final shot. Coming outvictorious with the gold medal was localshooter Tom Hamilton, followed closely byDarren Short of PNG, with another PNGjunior Angus Donald taking bronze.

The first squad of Day 3 for the double trapstarted with a few interruptions due to a traphiccup, but after a quick set up of our secondlayout, we were back in action with minimaltime loss. Once again our local boys Christosand Dwayne took an early lead, with SaifulJapar and Yakub Batong of Brunei not farbehind. The Brunei women, once again,showed their expertise shooting some qualityscores, while new PNG junior Israel Yamastarted shakily but found his feet and finished

strongly. The ladies final was once again athree way Brunei affair with Norsah (gold) toostrong for None (silver) and Zella (bronze).

First time Skeetshooters James Fallon, Steve Patrick andIsrael Yama of Papua New Guinea, found thegoing a little tough early on but got back onthe tracks and posted some good scores.Women shooter Aishah of Brunei finally gother chance to shoot her discipline and took notime at all to take a convincing lead overfellow team mate Zella.

The official medal presentations were held atthe central hub of the ArafuraGames, with prominent GovernmentVIPs presenting the athletes withtheir medals whilst the nationalanthems played in the background.As always a few thank yous are inorder, so firstly to Robert Fox (ClubPresident) & Elaine Forward for alltheir tireless work throughout thelast 6 months and the whole weekof the games. To George Hennesseyfor those early morning starts to getus going, Linda O’Grady for all herwork in the early stages getting thegames off the ground, caretakerRobert Madden for the fabulouslooking grounds and to our canteenduo of Ric and mother Chris forthose great sandwiches.

I would also like to make a quick mentionabout our closest international shootingneighbours from Papua New Guinea. Theyhave just resurrected their clay target range inPort Moresby after a long period of time andas many know it is always a hard task to do.They are very keen to have Australian shoot-ers visit them to compete and help supportclay target shooting in PNG. If anyone wantsany details regarding visiting Papua NewGuinea please drop us a line at the addressbelow and we will pass on your details.

It was also interesting to note that Bruneihave also recommenced shooting. A privateclay target club has been established as theearlier one run by the Prince no longeroperates. It is our understanding that theyonly shoot ISSF and their discipline andperformance at the Arafura Games appearedto reflect some pretty serious training.

So anyone out there wishing to participate inthe next Arafura Games in 2007, please lodgeyour expression of interest to the Darwin ClayTarget Club, either via our websitewww.darwinclaytarget.com or mail GPO Box41001 Casuarina NT 0811.
