B~~ 24, BLACKTOWN, NSW 214Z G ISU Skeet s On the move in S.A. '% . a (fkom Graham Goldsmith) 3 & % ISU Skeet is on the move in S.A. However for one to say that it is about to completely change the face of clay target shooting in our "Festival State" would give rise to some warranted derisive snorts of "rubbish", "bull", "a dreamer" etc. No, unfortunately from my angle and that of many others, it is not yet about to do so any more than it is on the, Australian scene, but it is making headway. As others have said before me, we need 'more open minded approaches, by more open minded administrators prepared to give it the Aussie "Fair Go".Promote and encourage it, rather than knocking it down at every opportunity, or ignoring it in the hope that it will go away. Accept the fact - it won't go away. Certainly it should be everyone to his own game. We are no more all ISU Skeet shooters than we are all D.T.L. shooters or golfers, but I would like to say to the unconverted, don't shy off trying something different or difficult, give it a go, you may find you really like it. Sure it's not easy, but neither is bringing up children. Did that stop you or your parents? To those who say or think ISU Skeet is too difficult and consequently people don't want to shoot difficult events, I say, go along to your local Field & Game Assoc. Simulated Field Shooting Range, I wager you wiU be proved wrong on both counts. However to back up my opening statement written before X allowed myself to digress, the Suuth Australian Skeet Carnival got under way on 29th and 30th of November 1980 at the grounds of the S.A. Gun Club at Bolivar. The State Skeet (Ordinary) Championship and team elimination was shot on the Saturday with some "novelty" D.T.L.to fill the day. Sunday saw the City of Adelaide 100 target ISU Skeet Championship which incorporated the first 50 targets as the State ISU Skeet Team Elimination for 1980.The day was fine and warm, with not too much wind and 28 shooters partly warmed up from the ~ a t u r d a ~skeet ' s shooting faced the first 50 targets. In the first round the change of target speed from the previous days shooting obviously had some effect on timing, with.only seven shooters scoring twenty or more, the rest trailing off to some scores they may have preferred to forget. Young David Bowring from N.T. showed the way on 22 with Fred Guyatt and Graeme Goldsmith both carding 21.The second 25 targets which was to determine the State ISU Skeet Team, again saw only seven shooters scoring 20 or more with Dennis Foster, Fred Guyatt and Bill Hetherington equalling on 22. The State Team thus chosen consisted of Fred Guyatt 43/50, Graeme Goldsmith 42/50,Chris Woolford 40/5O, Ray Kimber 39/50,Bill Hetherington 39150 and John Struik 38/50(after a shoot off with three others). Going on from here to complete the final 50 targets of the City of Adelaide Championship, scores improved some what with sixteen shooters making 20 or more in the next 25 targets. These included clean rounds by both Kimber and Guyatt, a 24 by Johnston and 23 by Goldsmith. Of the eleven who shot 20 or more in the last 25 targets, Ben Murphy put up 24 to lead over three others on 23. '- The final results of the 100 target City of Adelaide Championship: F. Guyatt 1st A grade 911100,R. Kimber 2nd A grade 871100. G..Goldsmith 1st B grade 851100,D. Foster 2nd B grade 821100,3.Struik 1st C grade 791100,P. Winzen 2nd C grade 77/100,D. Bowering - Best Junior 851100. With light starting to wane, and all other events over, the presentations of the weekend were delayed until. the completion of the State Team score. One Hundred and fifty competition ISU Skeet targets in one day is no mean feat, and congratulations must be accorded to every member of that team for their effort and concentration in putting together the following scores under those conditions, especially as two of them were also involved in the running of the whole weekend. That was the last ISU skeet for 1980,but several weeks later on Sunday 10th January 1981,at a time when a lot of people Page 4 are still on holidays, it was on again. To prove that the interest was still there and that they wern't about to be beaten by a few of those little round black b's, eighteen shooters fronted for the first 100 target State ISU Skeet Team Elimination for 1981.This is to be complete contrast to 1980 when only 50 targets decided the team, as emh shooter will eliminate over any two of four 100 target events together with one compulsory 200 target event. This system of course has the advantage of, more competitive practice and allowing someone back in who either couldn't make the date or couldn't make a score on a particular day. The scores shot will also be used to form a State Training squad, hopefully with some opportunities to travel to other competitive venues. Back to January 10th. 1981, the day was hot with some variation in wind, and little variation in the £lies. Some delay occurred in getting things under way over the two ISU Skeet layouts at the grounds of the S.A. Gun Club at Bolivar, but by lunchtime most of the four squads had finished their first 50 targets. In comparison to the slow start in scores at the November Skeet Carnival, of the eighteen shooters competing here, ten managed scores of 20 or more over the first 25 targets, the way being shown by Guyatt, Goldsmith and Struik all carding 23.Round two saw the latter two slip a little with 21 and 20 respectively but Guyatt held it to a fine 24,the other closest shooters being Bernie Hansen and Ray Kimber on 22.The next round saw a change when Graeme Goldsmith shot the only 25 for the day, ahead of Kimber and Foster on 23. Again ten shooers scored 20 or more. Into the last 25 targets later in. the day, the first elimination for 1981 concluded with John Struik shooting well for a 24,G-uyatt on 23 and Goldsmith letting high gun slip out of his grasp by being too casual with a pair on Station 5.From,the scoreboard below it can be seen that some good consistent scores were shot on this day, which must auger well for the future of ISU Skeet in S.A. and ensure a very competitive series of eliminations. 6 7 13 12 38 P.

AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS--MAY Bruce Southgate traversed the Tasman with the squad of Australians to have a crack at the New Zealand Championships and ensure all the shooters had access to the ELEY cartridges they had pre-ordered before their de~arture.Full re~ortsof the fortunes are contained elsewhere in the journal but Bruce reports that, although only 48 Australians participated, the Aussies gave the Kiwis the usual stiff competition they have come to expect, with Neal Berry winning the Double Rise and Bill lles winning the Ball Trap. The reports on our new range of Trap shells continue to flood in and all are very pleasing. There have been many approving comments on the power of the Super Trap 1350 and its apparent superiority over'its predecessor. This coupled with the new cosmetics - longer brass, uitra seal head, knurl ring around the brass, and the modern style pack (designed by a well-known clay target shooter) on all the new range, has the shooting fraternity bubbling. Considering the Aussies didn't make up even 10% of the shooters, this is an excellent performance. However, the Kiwis were as competitive as ever and have promised revenge at our forthcomoing Melbourne Nationals. **** David Henthorn, ex W.A., N.S.W. representative for ELEY, heads up Ammunition House, the selling arm for ELEY and CAC cartridges in New Zealand, and has transferred some of our innovations here into the "Shaky Isles" as well as introducing some ideas of his own, one of these being ELEY playing cards which were the cause of many interesting comments, as our friendly opposition found them very entertaining during the quieter moments of the competition. AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS-MAY ELEY THE RECORD BREAKERS Well-known Kiwi clay buster, Graham Geeter, recently broke the "Guinness Book of World Records" record for the amount of clay targets broken in "7" hour, with an amazing score of 2,356 using the new ELEY Special Trap 1250. ELEY would like to again congratulate Graham on this tremendous achievement and would hope that this record will stand for some considerable time. Page 5 WINCHESTER WALLY QUALITY CONTROL IN GOOD HANDS On a trip through Geelong recentiy I had a chance to renew aquaintances with the whizz kid of qtdty control at Winchester, Wally Penberthy. Wally and I have been comparing notes on shotshells for many years but this was the first time I .lad got the chance to have a natter to him face to face for a long time. I took the chance to wander through the extensivemanufacturing facility with Wally to s m what had happened since the last time we had met. There were many changes as the big W geared up for the supply of ammunition and components into the 80's. I was keen to have a look at quality control, perhaps being a bit suspicious that the boys from Geelong may let their guard down a bit, being the only manufacturer of ammunition in Australia. But, things are OK, or as Ross Baillie put it. ' k e wouldn't dare let anything shocldy out of this factory, Wally would crucify us". In a tour lasting several hours I was introduced to the staff, which I must admit had not changed a lot since the last time I had visibd, and shown in great detail the present manufacturing facility. It seemed just a lot bigger since the last visit. But the purpose was quality control and it was this subject I broach@ to the knowledge'able Wally ~enberthya s we inspected. Standing in the inwards store I posed the question as to where quality control starts. "It starts", he said, "right from the very beginning". "We set very ngici specifications to manufacturers and suppliers and every component that comes into this factory is checked, right from the manufacturer, through the whole of our manufkturing stage to the completed job". He hap a very pragmatic approach to this form of control and when quizzed on the quality of materials supplied said that there are occasionally problems but with an uncompromising approach, suppliers are inclined to 'lift their game." In the dazzling array of machinery, dominated by the incredible 'Minster' forming press, with countless millions of rimfire and shotshell heads being formed each day I posed the question of how on earth could one keep track of any mistakes. R seems there is a way, but I will let Wally tell you in his own style, he makes it sound simple. To the bloke who pulls the trigger it seemed very complicated. "Let's take the brass strip", he mid, "it comes from the supplier, rolled to our specifications of width and thiokness together with its metallurgical properties such as grain structure, properties of elongation m d tensile strength. Our main concern is the hardness, grain structure and rnalleabilPage 6 - Ross Baillie, Managing Director of Winchester Australia Pty. Lfd. ity. We test rigidly for these a s malleability is critical in the forming process". "Annealiig is the all important step in all the forming operations together with washing to keep the operation smooth and trouble free. In the various cupping and drawing operations throughout the forming of rimfire cases and shotshell brass heads particular attention is paid to this process. We test after each batch is done". "If we don't, in ageing the brass will break down and crack around the rim, or even in the wall of the case". That is the metallurgical side, but what about the physical side of actual measurement and tolerances was my next question. We were standing by a machine thumping away and punching out a simple battery cup. The machine operator had a set of Eauges and was rsndom checking the cups a s they dropped into the tray. There were no less than eight gauging operations for this small component alone. As we walked through it seemed that all machines had the same strict control. AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS-MAY W a y enlarged on this, "In the brass section there is one man in each shin who actually checks the work. The components are in small work baskets of 10,000 pieces. He gaGes every basket and checks closely for scratches or other defects that would indicate a die is failing. It is he who OK's the batch for production". "Cheokmg at all stagea of production is the name of the game around here, and it makes sense. With such high rates of production the failure of a single operation can cause a big loss in material and t i e " . With what I saw, the good M r Penberthy was not kidding. Into the plastic section and the same care was evident. Plastic used in the majority of shotshells in Australia is a high density polyethelene. Winchester is the only company that uses this type of material, it is manufactured by the parent wmpany Olin and they bring it in to the country in huge shipments. "Testing in the early stages here is important", said W a y , "we test for Melt M e x and Xntrinsio Viscosity, both are important in all stages of the forming process. After testing we Mend it and add colour before it goes to the injection moulder to make the pre-form". "Checking starts immediately, all measurements from the pre-form are ahecked, we even weigh and cut some open to check for air pockets. This way we are always sure that only the best is gettting through to the compression forming process". It is at this stage that the shotshell case changes from a piece of weak plastic moulding to a hard resilient case. It is also the time that the very important tests take place. Wdly again..."Sam~tesare taken from the com~ressionforminrr machine and'tested for tensile strength b&h lon&itudinalG and around the circumference. This is the critical test for the reloadability of the case". "You know", he said, "comprwsion forming is a remarkable process. An injected, moulded case would have a tensile Cont'd over page * years. When you hit a Blue Dot clay target you're hitting the best value-for-dollar target you'll buy. They give you more, without asking for more. Hard or soft, consistently reliable quality, DTL and ISU Blue Dot targets are what you should be !aiming for. Colours: Black/White/OYangel . - AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS-MAY Page 7 WINCHESTER WALLY (Cont'd) Constant gauging of rimfire cases ensures consistency. strength of 6,000 psi but after the forming we can get this strength up as high as 22,000 psi, quite a big jump". Wads are injection moulded in low density polgthene and these are regularly gauged before being released to the loading room. :Down with the heavies in the lead department the @ty control checking continues. Incoming lead is checked for antimony content and then samples are run through a spectographic analysis to see that everything is as is should be. There are a couple of types of lead, one for shot which is a little harder than the lead for bullets. From the shot making machine diameter and roundness are checked and tolerances are such that diameters are kept to within .002" of size. Tighter still on the swaging side for buckshot and bullets. Bullets are very strictly checked for band diameter and cannelure siw and are kept to within .0005" of size. That's tight! Primers are k~a different section and the sophistication of checking equipment makes the eyes bulge. The pure logistics of primer testing is just a bit mind boggling. ~aking a primer or priming a rimfire is a long and involved process with various ageing stagas. Is also a touchy operation that requires a lot of care. Thus the testing is exhaustive. In a typical run of rimfire cases a drop teat is conducted every two hours and 200 cases are tested. In practical terms it means that m e b o d y has to, physically, fire over 1000 shells a +y and write the result of every test down on the quality control log. Everything comes together in tfie loading rooms for both rimfire and shotahells. More testing for rim thickness, rim diameter, overall length and chamber gauging occurs as the brass heads are put on the shotshells, they are skived and the pgimers are inserted. Rimfires are loaded in plates of 1025 and one cartridge is t e h d from every plate. Powder weights are checked hourly and there are spot checks f o r missed loads and double loads. After orimping there is a pull test, a check for accumw and a final cheok for waxing before packing. On the shotshell side all the failsafe controls are built into the loading machines. But as the loading progresses regular samples are taken to oheck for shot and powder weights. A close eye is kept on the machine to see that the right components are going into the right cases. All specifications are physically checked about 5 minutes after the run starts and then this standard must be maintained right throughout that production run. Into the ballistic lab we wandered and the range of tests here are quite bewildering. This is the nitty - gritty of the testing and quality control. If the product performs here, the work dune earlier has been worthwhile. There is a set-up at the start of every manufacturing run to dl-specifications. Twice per shift then a sample of 10 cartridges is tested f o r pressure and velocity. As a guideline sAAMISpecificationsare used but individual brands are set to the companyl's own specifications which are considerably tighter than SAAMI which are plus or minus 50 fps. "We keep our field loads to within plus or minus 30 fps and trap loads to plus or minus 20 fps and we seem to have no trouble becau8e of the trouble we to in each stage ofq manufacture", said Wally. Rimfire testing is a lot more sophisticated.

"With rimfire accuracy", said Wally, "in each batah we fire five by ten shot strings and keep the extreme spread to .a", centre to centre. With modern manufacturing we have no problems doing it". Function testing is important as well. Every couple of hours a packet of shells is taken from each loading machine and fired deliberatekv through different brands of guns. They have a very broad range to choose from. This is to check for light recoil, popped primers, split cases etc. etc. In fact they try to duplicate the sort of problems, you a s a user, might encounter. The record on the wall when we went through was that they had not had a baddie for six months. I noticed a freezer and an oven and was informed that this also was a function test. Standard test on the cold side is to bring the shells down to 0°F for 16 hours rand then fire them. On the warm side they bring a batch up to 65°C for five days then inspect and fire them. Before the product finally gws to warehoushg the final audit checka are made to see that the right brand is on the shell and they are in the correot packets and cases. I must admit that I had never really thought much about quality control in ammunition manufacture. But having had a very close look at it, I now realise that it has a lot to do with manufacturing process. In fact a very large percentage of time is spent in ensuring that what we feed to our favourite fowling piece is the best that can be produced. Winchester's Wally is one who takes his job very seriously and I can quite happily report that at Geelpng quality control is alive and well and its in very goal hands. 0 I WINCHESTER AU,STRALlAN CLAY TARGET.SHOOTING NEWS--MAY Page 9 (fawn Qrag Melvin) February 7th and 8th were the dates for Azzurri's 1981 Two Day Carnival. Featured over the two days was the State Walk-up Championship and the State Deauville Doubles Championship. 90 shooters attended and all eqjoyed a good time wen though the Azzurri breeze, fast becoming notorious, was the only thing to mar the shoot. Event 1 on Saturday was a 30 target Double Barrel event. CoIlie shooter Max Cubic took "A" grade. Barry Steele (Barrow Is) won "B" while Gsoff West (Wagin) won "C" grade. The State Walk-up Championship was the second event. Initially it looked like being a one horse race with Aazurri President (and soon to be crowned W.A.C.T.A. President) Murray Alexander shooting a good 18/20.At that stage he was 3 targets clear of anybody else. Then arch-rival Tom Vodden struck with 18/20. Tom went on to win the shoot off with Murray second and Orest Ando third. Thanks to Eley for .the terrific clock which accompanied the red championship sash. Last went Saturday was the Remington Handicap with a tremendous 572 BDL rifle for the top handicap man. Azzurri shooter Mike Mascio proved he Was No. 1 with 25/25.Bevan Vodden also shot 25/25 but went down in the shoot-off to Mike. Bevan's face would appear a few more times at trophy presentation time. Sunday dawned a bit cooler and windier and it appeared a race to beat the wind. Tim Catling (right), has his say after he and Charlie Ellies had won the W:A. Deauville Doubles Championship. Remington Handicap. Arzurri Club President, Murray Alexander i s a t the rear. Event 1,Sunday, was the Wanneroo District Double Barrel Championship. Azzurri shooters Paul Vivante and Bert Geddes shot possibles. It looked as if Azzurri would have a sash to break the drought. Then the possibly inevitable happened and:well known Robin Bailey shot a possible in the very last squad of the event. Robin went on to win from Paul Page 10 The most enjoyed event over the whole week-end was the Stab Deauville Doubles Championship. A large number of shooters showed their hard work and practice by choosing their :partners the best part of 5 minutes before the event. Sunday's joke was that a person with a seeing-eye dog and his partner who is hard of hearing won the Doubles. To top that off Charlie Ellis only shot the one event for the whole weekend. Charlie I know wears a hearing aid and I don't know about Tim Catling, but they shot well to win the State Championship from another well established pair of Wayne Pillrington and Clem Bertini. The last event of the shoot was the Winchester Cartridge Handicap. The 17-19 mark was the best meterage for this event with Ist, 2nd and 3rd places coming from that group. Well known shooter Roy Roltfreter showed he badly needed the shells (well he must have had some reason for winning) by winning fmm 10 metres. Second was Clayton Hyder with Aszurri Captain Armando Larini 3rd. Overall a good shoot with country and Perth shooters sharing trophies. The wind ruined the intended barbeoue but it didn't deter some from indulgbg in a drop of the amber fluid. Azsurri thanks both shooters and sponsors for their AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS--MAY FLOODS NO DETERRENT TO CLAY BUSTING ' Gladstone Gun Club, in its continuing endeavour to provide shooters with the best competition in Central Queensland, did just that when it followed up its Sunday, January 25th monthly shoot with a fullprogram of intense competition the next day, Australia Day. The program, whichconsisted of four, 50 target events, was the brainchild of club Competition Manager, Jim Elliot and was designed to give maximum competition to shooters preparing themselves for the New Zealand and the Australian Nationals and in particular to Gladstone Club's four State Team Members, Danny Casagrande, Jim Elliot, Laurie Tselepy and Ewan Young. Attendance over the two days was slightly less than the club had hoped for, mainly due to the relatively spur of the moment decision to conduct such a program ljust 13 days preparation), the Australia Day promotion on thesGold Coast and the fact that Queensland, from Rockhampton north:was flood bound. Even so, some 67 clay busters representing Barcaldine, Central Burnett, Dysart, Gemflelds, Mt. Isa, Rockhampton, Sunshine Coast and Nine Mile Clubs nomhiated for one or both days. The significant achievements of the p r o m m were, in spite of the interuptions on Sunday with some very heavy showers, 140 targets were shot over the two traps from 10.00 am till 4.00 pm, on Monday 200 targets were released to each competitor between 8.45 am and 3.0P pm and over the nine events, no fewer than 21 individuals won prizes. Generally a most enjoyable two days of clay busting was had hy those who participated and the program, from the Club's point of view, was a suocess, both promotionally and financially. In fact, in view of the reports from the various clubs regarding some drop off in attendance, Monday's program was an interesting excercise in order to gain some indication of shooters acceptance of such, a concept. Costs were kept to a minimum with total nominations for the 200 targets, $36.00 (i.e. 18 cents per clay). Obviously, such a program with reduced nominations has to be run on a cash division basis, (unless the club is confident of large attendances), apart from Overall. Intermediate and Front Marker High Gun prizes, which were provided by the Club as an incentive. As a result of the keen competition,the cash was distributed to no less than fourteen competitors. Competition pressure during the four event Monday section was right on from the first event as Bill Scarborough, in the second squad, put a 49 on the board. However, it wasn't good enough as Jim Elliot showed with "a possible" to take the money. It was Elliot again in the single barrel with 49/50 even though he was .kept honest with 48s from club President Lindsay Dalton and regular visitor from Central Burnett, Arnie Williams. AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS-MAY (from Club Publiaity OiYiaer). Scarborough was again loolring good in the points event as he blasted his first 47, not even looking Like needing a second barrel, however the 48th slipped away unmarked by his number 7s. he managed to contain the final two for a very creditable 147149. Danny Cassagrande gave him a fright with 146/49 to take out the "A" Grade. A team shoot was held in conjunction with event three and the combination of Scarborough, Corones, Hannah and Dalton were too good for the rest, dropping only thirteen targets btween them out of the 200, to win the Million Dollar Casket ticket, kindly donated by Jim and Jenny Elliot. The final event of the day was the 25 Pair Double Rise, which was won outright by Jim Elliot with 45/50. Elliot also won the Overall High Gun with 2841300. If there had been an encouragement award, i t surely would have gone to regular club supporter. Noleen Herberb. Slightly bbut Noleen, who stands about 5ft tall in her shooting shoes, fronted up for the full 200 targets and although shooting 3 metres behind her handicap, managed a personally satisfying l99BOO for the day and went home with the Front Marker High Gun trophy for her effort. The most important point to come out of the whole excercise was, if competitors are prepared to accept lesser prizes, clubs can, by programming "big target" events, give a lot of shooters, a lot of shooting, at minimum cost and by applying a one or two cents margin to cost of clays, pick up a dollar or two for every 100 targets thrown. While we are talking about Gladstone, the club is extremely grateful to Bill and Jenny Nioa of Nioa Arms who have very generously donated two Beretta under and overs as prizes for their home clubs' annual two day Easter Carnival. In their continuing effort to strengthen their financial position in order to provide better shooting facilities in the area, Gladstone Club is very much indebted to all of the sponsors who have contributed so magnificiently over the five years the club has been operating. In addition to Nioa Arms this Easter, other local firms, Ewan young Painting- painting contractors, F. C. Higginson and Company insurance loss assessors, Millard Tyre Service - tyre wholesalers and retailers and Central Queensland Real Estate, have also lent their support, bringing the trophy and prize value to very close to $3,000.00.

Australian Clay Target Association ANNUAL REPORT and FINANCIAL STATEIVIENT 1980 1 i I II I 1 $ AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS-MAY Page 13 PRESIDENTS REPORT TO THE 1981 ANNUAL MEETING We have now entered what has been called the "Challenge of the Eighties". The iirst year has certainly been an interesting one starting with the Perth Nationals. We had a large American contingent, some of whom showed us we still have a thing or two to learn, particularly in shooting double rise targets. We had the drama in the Double Barrel Event. but all in all I believe a very successful National. We received the resignatibn of our President, Mr Ern Hawkins, who has always been a popular figure around the traps and the reaction of shooters voicing their concern substantiates this. Some members are of the opinion that Ern's resignation was caused by the new A.C.T.A. Constitution. This is not correct. A lot of thanks must go to our Vice President, Mr Laurie Connors, who took over the reins of Acting President until the September Executive Meeting. I was successful in my nomination to become President of our Association - a position I am indeed proud to accept. I realise it will not be an easy task to maintain the high standard set by my predecessor, whose leadership has assisted us to gain the National recognition we now enjoy. However, with the help of the Executive Committee and the support of you, the members, I believe we can still continue to grow from strength to strength. One of the biggest problems confronting us today is . inflation, the effects of which are felt at all levels of our sport. from the smallest Club through to the National Office. The only way costs can be kept down is by the members volunteering their services. Too many of us are prepared to sit back and watch the 'too few' do the work. No firm decision has yet been made regarding a suitable site for our national shooting ground. At the present time we have two sites-which look promising. One at Coffs Harbotir and the other at Port Macquarie. We will keep you fully informed on any new developments in this area. Our National Coach, Mr Newton Thomas. and our Olympic Team must be conaratulated for the wav thev acce~tedour decision to support-the Government boycott of the '~lympic Games in Moscow. The disappointment of missing such a prestigeous event as the Olympics. must have been tremendous. This unselfish attitude and show of true sportsmanship makes me proud of our sportsmen. Those of you who have visited our National Office will agree a change was long overdue. Hence our move to new premises away from the city and allowing us more room and better parking, which you will agree gives us a happier and brighter outlook and should present a better image for our sport. Your Executive Committee must be congratulated in the way they accept the work load placed upon them and the time and effort these dedicated people give in carrying out these duties can only make the "Challenge of the Eighties" - the success of the Eighties. President Ron Porter strongly supported junior cornperition. , G. R. PORTER.

LBV 4038R AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS-MAY ANNUAL REPORT 1980 - Last year's report concluded with the catch phrase "THE CHALLENGE OF THE EIGHTIES." 1980 has certainly been a challenge with economic pressures creating noticeable obstacles in all areas of sports administration. Particular difficulties occurred in terms of liquidity, and spiralling operating costs have led to a situation where only a very modest surplus has resulted from the year's operations. However, your Executive Committee has shown great courage and has continued to manage the Association's affairs so as all the planned projects have been completed. Afler manv vears of "backina and fillina." the Association finally cornpiefed constitutiona~reformw i c h recognises the existence of State Associations. which are now owratina ' " as Sub Committees of the ~ationalAssociation. At the same time, the management of the Association was streamlined, which included the creation of a number of specialist sub-committees. By the end of 1980, recognisable benefits had occurred from these sub-committees. Effective communications continue to be of vital importance and there-is still room for better utilisation of the pages of Clay Target Shooting News, especially for the purpose of debating policies and other major topics. It has become traditional for the Association's annual report to address itself to certain specific areas of activity, and this year will be no different. 1. lnternational Competition The Association managed to squeeze seven international competitions into its shooting calendar. Included in the list were: (a) Mackintosh lnternational Teams' Match -this is a postal competition and was again won by Australia, with a score of 7353. This was the seventh consecutive win for Australia. (b) International Trap Match, conducted during the Australian Trap and Skeet Championships. This match drew teams from U.S.A., New fealand and Australia, and was won by Australia with a score of 241-250. The Executive Committee wishes to express its gratitude to Air New Zealand and the Australian Government, whose support made the project possible. (c) lnternational Skeet Match. This match is a regular feature of trans Tasman competition and is conducted aspart of the National Championships oroaram. (Because of confusion between the A.C:T.A. and ihe hew zealand Clay Target Association, agreement has now been reached that the skeet match will be known as the Glenn Trophy Skeet Match, and will be conducted in Australia in even numbered years. It will be staged in New Zealand in odd-numbered years). Australia won the event with a score of 117-125. (d) Glenn Cup for D.T.L. teams from New Zealand and Australia. Australia selected a team including Tim Catling (WA), Rex Northcott (NSW), Don Beelitz (SA), Richard Dean (Qld), Tony Bradshaw (Vic), and John Murphy (Tas). The match was held at Christchurch and resulted in a tied score between New Zealand and Australia. As Australia was defending the Cup, it retained possession. (As a result of the agreement reached with the Kiwis, and referred to earlier, the Glenn Cup for D.T.L. teams will be contested in Australia in the years in which the corresponding skeet match is staged in New Zealand). This team was sponsored by Air New Zealand, which has proved to be one of the Association's strongest supporters. (e) South Pacific Regional Championships. This series was held in Christchurch and catered for rifle and pistol events, as well as Olympic Trench and ISU Skeet. Australia entered a full squad, which included: Manager Newton Thomas; Trap - Greg Long, John Maxwell, Terry Rumbel amd Jim Ellis; Skeet - Graeme Boyd, Ian Hale, John Summers and Alex Crikis. The team performed extremely well. The Trap Teams match resulted in an Australian Gold Medal (score 561-600) and Ellis won the individual Gold with a score of 191. In Skeet, Australia won the teams' Gold, scoring 551-600. John Woolley (New Zealand) won the individual Gold, leading Silver Medallist Alex Crikis of Australia home by four points. (f) "Home Countries International". This is a match for three-man D.T.L. teams, and was created at Australia's request, to accommodate a team which toured England during July. The Australian team consisted of Kevin Loy (Captain), Ken Stevens and Ken Lowry. (Doug Smith was originally selected, but was forced to withdraw because of business commitments). Five countries entered the tournament, England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland and Australia. The match was won by Scotland - Australia finished in fourth place. (g) Thailand lnternational. In line with the Association's policy of trying to find international competition arenas that are conveniently located in terms of cost, a squad was entered in the First Thailand lnternaiional Clay Pigeon Championship. Mr Robert Buchan managed the squad which included Greg Long (Vic), John Maxwell (NSW), and Ray Collinson (Qld), all of whom shot Olympic Trench, and Graeme Boyd (NSW), who shot skeet and trap. Boyd shot I 9 0 in the skeet, and was a member of the Gold Medal winning team. fn the trap teams' event, Australia finished equal second, but lost the medal chance by losing on a countback. However, John Maxwell brought home the Bronze Medal in the individual section. There have been two features of the Association's "international year". The first was the Moscow Olvm~ic Games controversy, where your Association established a policy of supporting the Australian Government in its decision to oppose Australian participation. The subsequent rift caused within the Australian Shooting Association bv another affiliated group deciding to compete will take some time to heal. Special mention must be made of the severe personal sacrifice made in the interest of clay target shooting by those shooting athletes who were selected to represent Australia in the 1980 Olympics. The terrible waste of the competitor's time and money in training for this event is not fully appreciated by most, and it is certain that no-one can understand the personal effects that withdrawal from the official team created. Newton Thomas, Terry Rumbel, Jim Ellis and Ian Hale are the heroes of our sport due to their unselfish decision. The second feature, and one of a much more pleasant nature, was the overseas performances of skeet shooter Alex Crikis. Crikis competed in the Pesta Sukan match in Singapore in August to record his third successive win in that contest. He then attended the"Thailand match, and won that outright, to make him a real hero in the South East Asian area. - AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS-MAY At Ansett Airlines, we're proud of our people.

P "$ ANSETT AIRLINES OFAUSTRAUA Executive Committee A number of new faces appeared on the Executive Committee during the year; these resulted from retirements and the effects of the acceptance of the new Artictes of Association. Those members who were forced to retire because of the reduction in size of the Committee were: from Victoria Kevin Dobson and John Bull; from Queensland Noel Massey and Bev Grice; from New South Wales - Keith Sim and Hany Somers. Other retirements were those of Spencer Angel (Queensland), Don Taylor (Tasmania) and Len Toyne (Tasmania). On behalf of registered shooters throughout Australia, I wish to express sincere appreciation for the contribution that these people had so unselfishly made to the development of the sport. The new faces are: Len Bird (New South Wales), Paul Cains (Tasmania), Ray Mason (Tasmania) and the first members to represent Northern Territory, Kevin Bowring and Bill Homer. There was a change of President mid year, when, after a term of three years, Em Hawkins retired. Ron Porter of Brisbane was elected to fill the position. Ron has proved to be a very active 'and effective chief executive, and has already projected a fresh approach to sport leadership. Don Taylor of Tasmania, was awarded a Life Membership of the Association for his service to the Executive Committee. 4. Government Grants 1980 was the second year of a three and a half year period during which the Australian Government is assisting in the funding of a full time Director of Coaching. The grant has been increased from $20,000 per year to $22,000 per year. Other grants received from the Australian Government included: (a) Administrative grant of $3000. (b) An amount of $2000 which assisted the Association to stage the International Trap Match in Perth. (c) Assistance amounting to $5000 for special coaching projects. (d) An amount of $6,900 to help defray the expenses incurred in fielding trap and skeet teams overseas. The Association's management is deeply appreciative of this assistance, and extends a vote of thanks to Minister for Home Affairs and Environment, the Hon. R. J. Ellicott and his enthusiastic band of Sport and Recreation Division officers, based in Canberra. During the year, the Association became deeply involved in a "feud" over the need for funding assistance to improve the Belmont Shooting Complex at Brisbane in preparation for the 1982 Commonwealth Games. Towards the end of the year, the position improved when the Federal Government announced a facilities upgrade program, part of which involves Belmont. Additionally, State Associations are rapidly learning to "play the political game", with a resulting increase in the level of funding assistance coming from State Government sources. 5. National Coachlna Council The year commenced dramatically for the Coaching Council when its Chairman. Newton Thomas was awarded l the 1980 Australia Day an Order of Australia ~ e d a in Honours List. During the year, the Council's first major coaching aid came into being when an integrated set of coloured slides together with a taped commentary was completed. The theme for this aid is trap shooting, and the Council is proceeding with a similar aid to feature skeet shooting. Two resignations were received from Councillors during the year 'Pud' Burgess retired as New South Wales 3. - @ Alex Crikis (lefl) and Graeme Boydin action at the Bangkok International. National Competition The first "Nationals" in the Eighties was held at Perth Gitn Club in March. The attendance was the biggest ever in Western Australia, and included a large contingent of shooters from U.S.A. together with the traditional strong entry from New Zealand. Wales was also represented. The Western Australian Clay Target Association is to be commended for the standard of the match. The Executive Committee also wishes to record its appreciation for the strong support given by trophy donors. Later in the year, the Cunderdin Gun Club was the venue for the National Olympic Trench and ISU Skeet Championships. This club did a truly remarkable job of preparing for and,staging the match and it is unfortunate that a strike affecting airline schedules had the effect of reducing the entries received from the Eastern States. 1980 National Champions are: Olympic Trench John Harris, W.A. International Skeet Ian Hale, Vic. Standard Skeet George Biggs, Vic. Double Barrel - Russell Mark, Vic. Single Barrel Gerry Messenger, N.Z. AustraliaINew tealand Trap - Darryl Weise, W.A. Double Rise Joe Loitz, U.S.A. The Champion of Champions was Doug Smith of Queensland and the winner of the Grand Australian Handicap was Lvn Curtis of Victoria. 2. - - 8 Richard Dean, captain of the Queensland Trap Team, which was the first winner of the A.C.EA. Cup. The competition was held for the first time, at the National Championship in Perih.

Membrship It is pleasing to report that despite the cost uressures that continue to affect -all sports' growth, the' Association's membership for 1980 was marainallv UR on 1979. The introduction of pro-rata reiistraiion fees proved to be successful and almost 500 new registrations were written in the new category. One of the most interesting aspects of the 1980 rnembership figures is the increase in family membership-that is "second family members" and juniors. It is to be hoped that this trend continues, as a membership mix that has a strong family base is certain to be more sustaining. The number of clubs affiliated during 1980 was 276. New clubs to be welcomed to the "A.C.T.A. family" during the year -.-.-. WerP' Moyhu and District (Vic) Tom Price C.T.C. (W.A.) Southern Cross (w.A.) ' Coaching Director; and his place has been filled by "Barney" Rooke of Wagga; Bob Morgan resigned as Tasmanian Director, and has not yet been replaced. Tragedy struck late in the year, when Newton Thomas had to retire because of ill health. He required open heart surgery, and a heart valve was replaced. Few people will ever understand how vital Newton's contribution to the development of clay-busting was, especially in relation.to the creation and implementation of the novice training scheme. Supported by his Council colleagues, and with the assistance of Mrs Val Beitzel of the Confederation of Australian Sport Coaches Assembly, Newton prepared the blueprint of what is known as the level one coaching accreditation scheme. The scheme was approved by the official Australian Coaching Council, which makes clay target shooting one of only 26 sports to have achieved this distinction. A generous pat on the back must go to all those zone and club coaches, who either have passed or. are undergoing comprehensive training to achieve a pass in the accreditation program. The real challenge confronting the Association as it enters 1981 is to find a person capable of filling the role of National Coaching Director. Administration Administratively, 1980 has been a year of transition, in the sense that the Association has successfully changed its computer operations which were bureau based, to use of "in house" equipment. The system involves the use of a "numbers cruncher" owned by Control Data Australia, to which the Association connects, when necessary, by Telecom line. A hard copy terminal is located in the National Office, and can be used for transmitting data AND receiving reports. Another success story relates lo the. development of a trading operation. Towards the end of 1980 mail order operations picked up considerably and made a useful contribution to the year's trading result. New products are constantly under review, and big news will break at the 1981 Nationals. 6. Page 20 . Bateman's Bay (N.S.W.) Noarlunga City (S.A.) 8. State Associations One of the highlights of the State Association scene in 1980 was the conference attended by most of the State Association Prebidents and Secretaries. As a FIRST, the exercise must be considered a resounding success, and it is to be hoped that the 1981 edition will be bigger and better. By the end of 1980, $9870 had been returned to State Associations in the form of per capita grants. This forms a useful base on which States should build their annual budget, . and it is encouraging to see the extent to which States are preparing development plans. The Queensland Clay Target Association is setting the pace and already is in receipt of State Government grants which enables it to provide payments to the Secretary and the State Coaching Director. Legislation Throughout 1980, the '%rearmscontrols" lobby seems to have quietened somewhat. However, its place has been filled with a vengeance by the "stop recreational noise" dogooders' efforts. In Victoria, the position has worsened to the point where one of our sister organisations, the Victorian Field and Game Association finds itself having to defend its right to operate shooting grounds in a case that is listed ior hearing in the Supreme Court of Victoria. Every effort must be made to protect the shooting sports from these unreasonable attacks. 9. 10. Promotion The Executive-Committee policy of encouraging its senior office bearers to travel extensively to promote Association policies has been continued. Due to the changes that took place with the ACTA Presidency during 1980, Vice President Laurie Connors has been forced to accept a great part of the burden and appeared in every state except Queensland and Tasmania. Since coming to office, as President, Ron Porter has worked hard to continue the policy. However, due to the withdrawal of Ansett assistance, which hopefully is only temporary, the aspect of promotional travel will be ctosely monitored during 1981. Around mid-year, the Association acted as convenor and organiser for a Discussion Workshop conducted by the Australian Shooting Association. The project was an overwhelming success, and attracted an attendance in excess of 100 delegates, representing EVERY facet of the shooting sports in Australia. A re-structured and revitalised Australian Shooting Association is the likely long term outcome of the workshop. AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS-MAY 11. Nationel HeedquarPsrs At the end of 1980, the Association's Administrative Unit moved from 37 Swanston Street, Melbourne, where it had been located for 16 years, to a new site at 8 Main Street, Blackburn. Management is pursuing the possibility of purchasing the property, with a view to developing the site as a commercial income producing proposition. Meanwhile, progress with selection of a suitable location for the establishment of a National Shooting Ground has been slow, mainly due to continually changing circumstf ances. What has become known as the "Val Paral" project in the Australian Capital Territory is still alive and well, and the Association has had discussions with Shire Councils at Dubbo, Wagga and Coffs Harbour. More recently, an approach has been received from the Port Macquarie Shire Council. Investigations are continuing, particularly in the Southern Australian area. 12.

The reason is the fear of accidently overlooking somebody or something. Clay target shooting is very fortunate because of the wide range of support it receives from a wide range of supporters. ~ h e s einclude: Ron Porter, National President. Management Committee. Executive Committee. Sub Gommittees. National Coaching Council and coaching personnel. State Associations. Zone Councils. Club Committees. . Regfstered Shooters. Australian Government. State Governments. Australian Olympic Federation. Australian Shooting Association. All commercial sponsors. All travel advisers. A special mention must be made of the continuing support the Association receives from Air New Zealand and Jetset Tours. It is of inferkt to note that towards the end of the year, domestic airlines and the Federal De~artmentof Trans~ort combined to effectively stop the various types of assistance available to national sporting bodies, with the consequence that the substantial assistance that clay target shooting had enjoyed from Ansett Airlines of Australia has disappeared. Negotiations directed at re-instating the benefits are continuing. 14. Conclusions As we conclude the first year of the eighties decade, it appears that we are in very serious danger of making winning more important than participating. Major tournaments are great for the sport, specialty those that are heavily sponsored, BUT there must be a balance. Fun shooting is what the majority of clay busters are looking for and club managements and State Associations (and the National Executive Committee) must recognise this need. 1981 wilt see continuing changes, one of the major ones being the re-establishmentof the Australian Shooting ASSOciation as a major force in the sports management area. Another major development in 1981 will be the conduct of the largest shooting tournament in Australia's history. This will be the Australian Trap and Skeet Championships, to be held at Melbourne Gun Club, Lilydale, Victoria. Maybe, we wlll even see a firm decision on the subject of the National Headquarters.

Discussion Workshop. The report appeared in the August and September issues of CTSN last year. The workshop. attracted an attendance exceeding 100 people and included representatives of virtually every area of the sports shooting scene. A unanimous decision to arise from the project was that the Australian Shooting Association should look at its structure, with a view to making drastic changes aimed at maklng it more truly representative of the total group of sporting firearms users in Australia. The first tangible result of the conference occurred when the Federal Government showed its interest in the reformation of the ASA, by offering a two-and-a-half year grant of $50 000 to fund the appointment of a full-time administrator. The internal haemorrhage which was caused by the 1980 which, by the way. Olympic Games boycott controversy protwbly caused more damage to the administrative structure. of the shooting sports than any other - had the effect of severely delaying any action aimed at defining the "new image" of the ASA. More recently, and again with Federal Government support (this time, a cheque for $5000) the Management Committee of the ASA has commissioned a professional consultant in the person of Mr Tony Power of Melbourne, to investigate the needs of the sport in relation to the role to be filled by a re-structured Australian S h o o t i i Association. Mr Power is well advanced with his assessment. and he is expected to have a detailed report completed by the end of Aadl. Writer) This report will be made available to all interwted parties, and will lead to a decision-making conference to be held in Canberra on June 27, 1981. At that time, it is hoped that existing and potential affiliates of the Australian Shooting Association will reaioh consensus on what i s the best ultimate role for the ASA - best for shooting in Australia as a whole! The Chairman of the ASA, Peter Papps recently said: "The sport of shooting in Australia is currently at a crossroads. For too many years the various elements in the sport have wanted to protect their own autonomy, sometimes to the.point where consequences have unreasonably affected other shooting bodies". "The sport can no lohger accept this sort of luxury if it is to improve its public image. A show of total unity is necessary, and it is my opinion that the "new" A M will r e p s e n t such togetherness." Meanwhile, various trade groups are showing a growing interest in being involved in the overall pmmoti~nof the shootjng sports, and consultant Tony Power has been requested to ,consider making provision for an "Industry Division" in the re-vamped ASA. A startpoint would be effective State bodies representing firearms dealers and other commercial activities directly connected with sporting arms and ammunities. Such a move would complement the growing number of State "umbrella': organisations being formed by the shooting groups. 0'. - rn,mcdfra mi and fire, beforeyou can 5a0 Eldorado Gold; $SSS.W9 520: t3B0.00' 500: W9.W' 'recomrfiended retail price.

After the 1980 Queen's Birthday weekend shoot at Mildura Gun Club, the members set out to re-position the skeet and trap layouts. It was necessary to do this to provide the four skeet layout$ required by the Victorian State Association to conduct the 1980 Slceet CarnivaJ at the club in October 1980.Also the club administrators have a desire to run a four day skeet carnival in June 1981 over the Queen's =rthday weekend. The club now has four skeet and four D.T.L. grounds all superimposed. D.T.L. trap houses are of brick and concrete with new concrete walhways marked to metric. Skeet houses are also constructed of brick. Allowance has been made to extend to six D.T.L.and six skeet layouts, should they be required in the future. Even while the alterations were in progress, the club still found time to run a Charity shoot in aid of Karen Dellar, Mildura entrant for the Miss Australia Quest. Karen was raising funds for the Spastic Society of =ctoria. The club was pleased it was able to assist and handed over a cheque for the sum of $1377.00 raised at the shoot. DARWIN GUN CLUB. One of the great things about cl@y target shooting, is the fact one can travel anywhere, and still be likely to run into someone they know. Darwin Gun Club major shoot in August 1980 for me was no exception. Geoff Mark and Ted Lowery from Victoria, Peter Telford S.A. Alec Jamieson, N.S.W. to name a few I met who made the trip to attend the Darwin Shoot. It is not all shooting, and providing you have the stamina, you are in for a good time. The social atmosphere created by members of the club for visitors attending the tournament is most appreciative, and I can recommend a visit to Darwin Gun Club a must to the travelling shooter. As well as clay targets, other types of field shooting is organized for those interested. (Photos provided of clay target and field shooting). 2nd November, 1980 For a number of years I have had a desire to attend what is lcnown as the Cherry Tree Shoot, held annually in W.A.,and conducted by the ICatanning Clay Target Club. I included the event on my shooting calendzw for 1980,and after having competed along with one l~undredand seventy-five other shooters, 1can recommend this event to anyone interested in this type of shooting. It is a simulated field range with traps set around the edge of a creek. The heavy timber growth on the banks create an ideal setting for the event. It is organized and run by the Katanning Clay Target Club in W.A. and is open to all registered and unregistered A.C.T.A. shooters. Unregistered competitors mue: be a 'member of the W.A. Association to compete. I believe this to b6 one of the first ever simulated ranges erected in Australia. There are many of them now in all States, and it 1s apparent by the attendance at these shoots, they are very popular. Cherry Tree provided twenty-one trophies for placings in the event, with major placings gain~ngthe support of Eley Ammunition and Winchester Australia. Provision is made for Open, Intermediate, Veterans, Ladies and Junior Championships. The outright winner for 1980 was Gary Featherstone (Katanning Clay Target Club) and second Colin Ninkley and third Tim Catling also from Katanning Clay Target Club. Tim is not only a shooter with a good reputation with a shot gun,he is also a noteable golfer in his home town. I noticed amongst the titles list at the Katanning Golf Club, where a social was held prior to the Cherry Tree shoot, Tim is listed as winning the Club Golf Championship in 1958,59, 60,70,71 and 79.Not a bad record.

Cont'd over page AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS--MAY Page 33 AROUND THE TRAPS (Cont'd) The Cunderdin Gun Club, approximateiy 160 kilometres from Perth, hosted the titles and can be congratulated on its effort. The equipment installed for shooting I.S.U.disciplines is first class and the most modern of its type in Australia. Depreciation is something the club will not have to pay attention to, as most of the trap protective buildings are built of concrete, including the safety fences between the skeet layouts. Something like seventy thousand dollars has been spent in purchasing and installing the automatic hopper feed equipment, for the benefit of shooters in the Cunderdin area, as well as W.A. in general. The President of the Club. John Harris is enthusiastic. and is backed by a number of keen Olympic trench and1.S.U. skeet shooters in W.A., to see that these disciplines, along with the rest of clay target shooting, progress for the benefit of all concerned. After witnessing the amount of work and effort that went into organizing and running this event, it was a little disappointing not to see greater support from other States at thisvenue. I believe they deserved it. A special effort and sometimes sacrifice, will need to be made by shooters who want to see these disciplines develop. Cunderdin, was one such area shooters could have taken advantage to further develop I.S.U. shooting in Australia. The President of the Cunderdin Gun Club, John Harris, proved what dedication and hard work can do by winning the National Olympic Trench Championship, shooting 191-200. Ian Hale and John Summers Victoria, were no doubt strong contenders for the I.S.U.Skeet title. Ian finished up taking it out with a match score of 1941200.Great to see the coaching given to interested I.S.U.Skeet enthusiasts, by Ian and John after the completion of the tournament. Also Jim Ellis from A.C.T. and one of Australia's top shots giving a few tips on Olympic Trench. NOW TRUE: The lion ate a bull. He felt so good he roared and roared.

SECRETARY Staff Writer John McElvogue is the hardworking secretary of the Victorian Clay Target Association, who has done so much of tkie preparations for the 1981 Australian Trap and Skeet Championship. On Saturday, April 1 1, John and his wife Bev received the tragic news that their youngest son Stephen had been killed in a car crash. Stephen was a trap-boy at Melbourne Gun Club for many years, and more recently had become a very promising young trap-shooter. He gained a place in the 1980,Victorian,Junior Trap Team, which won the Interstate Junior Teams' Match. To John and Bev, and their family, clay busters all over Australia extend their deep sympathy. 0 Page 34 Stewart & Allwood Sole AustralIan dlstrlbutors: Stewart and Allwood - Sydney. Melbourne W.A.

AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS--MAY Page 35 BRISBANE GUN CLUB HOSTS MEDIA MATCH The third m u a l "Challenge of the Channels" tournament hostM by the Brisbane Gun Club turned out to be a real boomer. It attracted over 120 entries from the four television channels in the Brisbane area. The Brisbane Gun Club has worked very hard to develop a close relationship with the various media groups in the city, and has been effectively assisted by a group of keen sponsors. This group includes Seppelts Wines. Dunhill Australia (cigarette &stributors), Adler Business Machines and "Stefan's," one of Brisbane's leading hairdressers. A number of staff members of Channel 9 have joined Brisbane Gun Club, so it is logical that Channel 9 should become the most active in terms of support for the challenge. Garry Gibson and John Di Mauro did most of the ground work for the match, which was officially opened by the arrival of the Channel Nine Network heliwpter. Staff Writer 8 MFSMuriel Porter (wife of the Association's late National President, Ron Porter) presents the "G.R. & M. PORTER PERPETUAL TROPHY" to the winning media team from Channel Nine. The highlight was the presentation of the overall trophy, known as the G.R. and M.Porter Perpetual Trophy. This had been donated by Muriel and the late Ron Porter, and was presented to the winning team from Channel Nine by Mrs Porter, who showed great poise and charm, taking into acwunt the tragic recent loss of her husband Ron. At the conclusion of the presentations, Les James promised an event bigger tournament in 1982. How many other states 0 will have followed this example by then? STOP PRESS The Channel Nine helicopter forms an interesting backdrop for the committee of the Brisbane Gun Club. The helicopter "delivered" the official party, which included top executives of the sponsoring companies. Over $2000.valuein trophies was offered to entrants in the Challenge, arid entry was restricted to non-registered wmpetitors. The atmosphere all day was one of complete relaxation as each channel established its campaign headquarters behind the trap field allwated to it. Leading Brisbane Gun Club identities provided constant coaching advice, and some very creditable scores were recorded. Club President, Les James spoke with the GTSN correspondent and said. "Today is probably the most important in the history of this club. We are entertaining people of great influence in the media area, and if this doesn't have the effect of boosting the coverage of clay busting by television stations I'll be very surprised." He went on, ''Today's success, where every television ohannel in the city area is represented by a large contingent, is sufwient to suggest that the next step is to go National. Let eaoh State Association accept the challenge of getting something similar going in their state, and we will endeavor to find a sponsor for a National competition!" At the end of the day. the clubhouse was jammed tight with supporters anxious to cheer their champions. Channel Nine personality Mike Gibson was Master of Ceremonies and developed the presentation into a most entertaining session. Page 36 - 1981.

The squad is to be named at the end of JULY. At the same meeting, it was agreed to stage an integrated training camp, to be co-hosted by the State Associations in South Australia, New South Wales and Victoria. The project will be held at Griffith Clay Target Club, located in the Riverina district of New South Wales, and invitations will be extended to selected members of state training squads. In addition, invitations have been sent to all other State Associations. asking them to nominate potential national training squad members if travel arrangements can be made. The camp will span July 24 to July 26 and an effort is being made to line up a panel of top lecturers.

See the Perwzi Range t EVANS PSr BAI.FOUC store at I981 Aust. I Trade Topics During March, one of Remington's senior international marketing executives. Bill Boettner made his annual pilgrimage to Australia to visit the Australian agents for Remington Arms and Ammunition, Boustead Australia. He was in Australia for only a few days, bu! managed a number of calls in New South Wales and Victoria during that time. Mr Boettner commented that U.S. market conditions had been difficult in recent times, although Remington seemed to be holding a satisfactory market share. However, severe legislative controls in Canada had caused a savage market downturn, and this has had a significant effect on U.S. manufacturers. During his brief visit, Mr Boettner was accompanied by Boustead's Marketing Manager, Ross Levinsohn. * * * * Another recent visitor from the States was Wmeheste!rs Product Development Manager, Larry Larsen. The prime purpose of Mr Larsen's visit was to assist with a special product release which local Winchester personnel had arranged for a select group of magazine writers. On April 3, senior Winchester marketing executives Bruce Burns, Ken Lowry and Rod Laidlaw met a group of Australian writers at Melbourne's Tullamarine Airport. (Brian Mark joined the party a little later]. The group included Heinz Raz (Australian Shooters' Journal), Pat Browne (Clay Target Shooting News and Australian Shooters' Journal), Colin Shadbolt (Australian Outdoors). Nick Harvey (Sporting Shooter), John Robinson (Australian Shooters' Journal and Sporting Shooter) and Ross Williams (Australian Shooters' Journal). The party was then taken to Picola near the Murray River. where Field and Game Association enthusiast. George Cunningham has established a hunting lodge, called "Bellinda Lodge." Mr Larsen gave shotgun writers a full run down on the output of the Japanese facility of Olin. and pointed out that Winchester will~NOTbe vacating the firearms field when the New Haven (USA) factory is closed late in 1981. He predicted that there will be a conscious attempt to promote 20 gauge shotguns later this year. as the local plant at Geelong brings its 20G and .410G plant on stream. Generally, the promotion was considered to be a great success, although there were a few very "tired" journos seen passing through Melbourne on their way home after the seminar. * * * * * NEW DEVICE FOR SHOTGUN HUNTERS Tied of letting that duck or pheasant get away! An Alberta inventor, Mr Carl Rueb. has come up with a shotgun sight that will help hunters shoot better. Qne of the most common problems in shooting is not getting one's cheek down on the gun stock and as a result shooting high. The key to the Rueb Sight is its placement mid way between the front of the barrel and the shell chamber. In this position you must get your cheek down on the stock to line up the sight with the f r a t bead. The result is greater accuracy and more game. Mr Rueb has designed sights to fit single barrel shotguns with either a vent rib or plain barrel. Made of shock proof plastic, the sight is easy to mount by simply slipping over the barrel end and tightening.

Throughout the ACTA clubs, there are some who are a major error on sllwters cards - not pnttfng dotheir (the shooter's) very important score .and total for $ ~ & e devents and also handicap events. It states quite clearly on each registration card "THAT IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF A DESIGNATED CLUB OFFICIAL TO PROGRESSIVELY UK A SHOOTER'SCARD WITH HIS 1 5 RESULTS ~ EW.

Yours faithfully, JENNY WHITE Secretary Morwell Gun Club. 0 Dear Noel, Please find enclosed notes regarding Guyra Gun Club (NSW). We would appreciate some space in the May edition of "Shooters News." The "Shooters News" is a most welcome publication in clay target shooting circles in this part of the state. On the subject of advertising content in the "Shooters News" and as my profession is advertising. I must say the more the better! Many readers would not be aware of the ast.ronomica1 cost of writing. setting. printing and distributing such a publication. The standard of advertising and reproduction in C.T.S.N. is very good. The advertising agencies and Waterwheel Press Pty. Ltd. must be credited for the end product. This high standard cannot be maintained without revenue. so keep the ads coming and more full colour ones. Yours sincerely. James B. Poole. CLUB CAPTAIN and PUBLICITY OFFICER1 GUYRA GUN CLUB 0 Dear Noel. On behalf of the Tamworth Gun Club. X wish to extend an invitation to all shooters to attend the 1981 NSW State Trap Carnival. which our club is hosting on September 4. 5 and 6. We feel that it will be a great success due to the fact that we will have a six trap layout. We will be able to put on a bigger programmed number of targets which is a real necessity , when you are expecting people to travel long distances. The club has set a target ,of 300 nominations for the carnival. Even though the first day is not a public holiday we base our estimate conservatively, mainly because this is the first year the events do not clash with equally popular Gum tree championships held at Boggabri. Tamworth is known Austxalia wide as Country Music Capital, but this year it is about to take on a new title - Clay Target Capital 1981. What a statement to tender. Well you put Tamworth on your agenda and we'll make it a shoot you will remember. Col Burt, Publicity Officer. Tamworth Gun Cluh 0 Dear Mr Southey. Thankyou very much for your Iund letter written on my appointment as a Judge of the Federal Court. One of the most interesting facets of my Ministerial life was as Minister responsible for sport. It gave me a great deal of satisfaction to make so many friends and to be able to make some contribution to the development of sport in Australia. Needless to say 1 will look forward to maintaining a deep interest in future developments. Would you please convey my thanks and best wishes to the members of your organisation. with kindest regards.

Following many months in hospital in Wagga, and two separate visits each extending for a month, at the Royal Northshore Hospital in Sydney, Gordon is now back home and is continuing his interest in the development of clay target shooting. He has written that Mangoplah Gun Club is currently in recess, but the Committee under the leadership of President J. Cox, is still meeting regularly, with a view to re-establishing the club's activities at the earliest possible time.

AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS-MAY Page 53 GUYRA GUN CLUB aorNa GREAT< - (from Jamie Poole, Club Captain] Guyra Gun Club is going through an expansion period and with great success. The club was formed in 1963 with very few hard-working members and started operating with one Snipe Trap and a small shed. Under the guidance and devotion of Rex Varley, who has been Secretary-Treasurer since the ctub's formation: the late Athol Creagan: and Herb Williamson as Past Presidents. the club has gone from strength to strength. In February the 1981 office bearers were elected: President, Ray Hammond; Secretary, Rex Varley: Captain. Jamie Poole: Vice-Captain. Ray Sweeney. The Club has just installed a second Skeet layout and remodelled No. 3 D.T.L. Trap. Guyra now has two skeet and four D.T.L. layouts, with lights for D.T.L. and a P.xsystem which has been a great help. In 1977 the Club House was extended to cater for the N.S.W. State Carnival and for big numbers in the 'cool' months. Being 4000 feet above sea level. it can be very cool indeed so the open fire is welcome. Average club shoot numbers have been 45. club membership is now 80 and at the 1980 Christmas Shwt. 78 shooters attended, which would take some tossing. Guyra Gun Club also takes part in major club and inter-club Challenges which the Club wins more times than loses. They are The McCansh Tin Tray against Inverell and Glen Innes (New England) Gun Clubs. The Creagan-Cox Cup (Slreet) against Coffs Harbour Gun Club. The Chizzotti Shield against Ballandean in Southern Queensland and The Northern Newspapers Shield for combined Skeet and D.T.L. The February Open Shoot had 111 shooters and families a great result considering a very serious drought in this area. Shooters attended from a s far away as St George in Queensland and Dapto on the South Coast. 25 000 targets were thrown over the two days. The catering under the supervision of Vikki McKay and well-known member Victor Raszewski (known to his shooting mates as "The Polish Poisoner"), a restaurant proprietor in Armidale, was without doubt, the best you would find at any shoot. The standard of shooting was very competitive. with long shoot-offs being the order. One of the most exciting shoot-offs was between Geoff Salmon and Ken Denyer of Moree for Overall High Gun. This was shot in fading light and Ken Denyer up held the honor of the plains country by winning after a long tussle. The Club has had good results in the area of publicity with television and press coverage and will be endeavouring to use these media more in 1981-82. If the 1981 Open Shoot was good. Guyra will strive for a bigger and better one in 1982, hosting many major events, both in.D.T.L. and Skeet. 0 - 1 BE KNOWN AROUND YOUR CLUB / I - 1 Page 54 A.C.T.

Jim Ellis and John Petriella proved to be the only consistent local shooters on the first day. In similar conditions on day two, with shwting stand somewhat lifted, the A.C.T. Olympic Trench Champion began in good fashion. AA & Overall went to Jim Ellis on 9811 again winning A grade on 96; Norm International winning B grade with 91 Kelly was dead) and Len Britt from the B C grade with a fine 821100.

ANOTHER. CLAY BUSTER FEATURES IN NEW YEAR HONORS .LIST (Staff Writer) Mrs Barbara Mules, Secretary of the South Australian Gun Club, has advised that Mr Fred Atkinson of Kilburn received an Imperial Service Medal in the New Years Honors List. A former digger and country butcher, Fred Atkinson has more recently been a messenger for the South Australian State Treasury. Fred retired-in February 1980 after 31 years of clerical and inter-departmental delivery duties. He said, "It has been quite a year, with my retirement party in February, and now this award." Fred Atkinson has become widely known at South Australian Gun Club and clubs in the Metropolitan area because of his ability to compete despite the loss of one arm. He was a World War XI Mortar Sergeant in the 2nd loth Battalion, and lost an arm while fighting in the Middle East. On behalf of all clay busters throughout Australia, we congratulate you Fred on your tremendous achievement. 0 STRONG STAND BY S.A.C.T.A. PRESIDENT (Staff Wrfter) TAKE MY PLAN AND M E , OR, NEITHER! This was virtually the ultimatum Annual General Meeting of the South Association by the retiring President, he accepted a re-nomination for Mr Martin had just finished hi being elected in February, 1980. During that time, he had recognised a number of areas which needed urgent "surgery" if the State Association was to continue to progress. Consequently, rather than just talk about the prublems, Leighton proceeded to do something positive - that "some thing" was the creation of his plan which virtually is an organisation chart in which various functions and ~ositions are defined. He has listed various duties for members of the Council, and received full support for his plan, wh resented it to the A.G.M. In a recent interview with CTSN, Leighton Martin said:"T purpose of my plan is to spread the existing work 1 and to provide a clearly defined path of comrnunicatio He pointed out that, in cases where Council members they have too many responsibilities, some of these can further delegated to other administrators co-opted fr within the zone structure. The S.A.C.T.A. has 'appointed a new Secretary. She is Cobbin, well known clay buster, and wife of George Cob Leighton Martin's plan is sure to create some changes an will be interesting to watch the progress.

Zone President Gerry Chizzotti presented the Zone Coach Stafford Smith with a complete Audic Visual outfit to assist with coaching in this zone. This equipment was purchased following a large donation received from a n anonymous donor for this specific purpose. The purchase was made following advice sought from Mr Kevin Reedman of Chandler's. Mr Reedrnan arranged for a technician from his firm to instruct the coaches on how to use the equipment, and those present were able to recognise the immense value to be obtained from its use. This equipment will be used during the Combined S.E. Zone and Western Zone Coaching seminar to be held on May 23 and 24, 1981. The State Carnival organisers have completed all arrange ments, and the Association expects record attendances this year. A report on this match will appear in a later issue of CTSN.

DALBY GUN CLUB CHANGE OF DATE Annual shoot to be held August 22 & 23,1981not SEPTEMBER. Page 73 SERVICE AWARD OF THE MONTH CONDAMINE The SERVICE AWARD for May goes to the staff of Waterwheel Press, who collectively have made a major contribution to the improved standards of CTSN. In particular, the performance of Miss Joanne Markey is acknowledged. Joanne joined the staff of Waterwheel Press two years ago as an apprentice type-setter and compositor. She was the only girl in a section that included five men, but very quickly responded to the professional guidance of chief typesetter Bill Hutchinson, who had been connected with CTSN since it moved to Shepparton in May 1976. On the composition side, Joanne has had Philip Kelley as her mentor, with Gary Crisp always available as a back-up. Joanne has been attending trade school regularly and her work on "Clay Target Shmtiig News" has been good experience. She capped off an excellent year in 1980 by k i n g announced as second highest in the printing trade's compositor examinations. Manager of Waterwheel Press, M r Chris Wilkins, said. when told of the award "Joanne is one of our most enthusiastic staff members, and is popular with her work-mates." The remaining members of the production team are Bruce Mitchell (Production Manager). John Arter (Solna operator. which produces the colour covers) and the press operators of Shepparton News, who print the text pages. "Clay Target Shooting News" is assembled and packed for posting by a team of Shepparton girls, led by "The Gun". Russell Torney . These operators form a pretty formidable team, and the AdministrativeUnit of the Australian Clay Target Association is grateful for the deep personal interest each member of the team takes in the progress of ''Clay Target Shooting News". 0 ANNUAL SHOOT Sat & Sun June 13 81 14, 1981 SATURDAY JUNE 13 START 8.30 R.M.

Page 79 ROYAL V SIT LEAVES WRK ON SPORT During late March, His Ro-yal Highness,~rFncePhillip, Duke of ~ a i n b u r g h , visited AustraLia for the prime purpose of acting as Chairman for a conference of the In ternationd Assembly of National Sports Confederations. The meeting proved to be another feather in the cap of the youthful Confederation of Australian Sport. This is the second major success chalked up by the Confederation in just four months the previous exercise was the staging of the "SPORT AUSTRALIA '80"awards last December (see Page 21 of February '81 issue of CTSN). The highlight of the conference, apart from the professional chairmanship produced by the Royal guest, was the election of top Australian sports administrator M r Wayne Reid O.B.E. as President of the International Assembly of National Sports Confederations. When the Confederation of Australian Sport was first formed in 1976,Mr Reid became its inaugural President, a. position he still holds. During his term of office, the CAS has racked up an impressive list of successes. Not only has CAS provided a level of unity amongst national sporting associations that was previously unknown in Australia, but it has also filled a very useful role in lobbying governments on behalf of sport generally. Prior to his involvement with CAS. Wayne Reid had become widely known for the job he performed in lifting the Lawn Tennis Association of Australia out of the doldrums. Additionally. he has been President of the influential Melbourne Football Club - part of the giant Australian Rules fcatball machine that dominates sport in the southern Australian states. Many observers have been quick to point out that the new International Assembly. with a membership that already lists 54 nations. will quickly overshadow the International Olympic Federation. in terms of total influence. The International Olympic Federation caters only for 24 Olympic sports. whereas the new group could ultimately claim to speak on behalf of up to 200 sports. Those of u s who are inside the sports administration maehine are concerned a t t h i s type otpublieity. Surely i t i s preferable for every encouragement to be given to the two bodies to establish the closest possible communications links t o ensure top CO-OPERATION rather than CONFRONTATION. The degree to which international' politics are idfluencing sport decisions is becoming quite alarming and it must surely be -in the best interests of sport to have all international representative bodies working closely in unison. The Reid success is further evidence of Australia's increasing influence in the world of sport and all Australian sports people should be Proud of such recognition. One of the least known. but most important aspects of the conference, was the detailed planning required to meet security needs. In many respects. the project became a sports version of the Commonwealth Heads of Government conference, one of which is scheduled for Melbourne later this year. In view of the fact that the Federal Government assisted in the funding of the project to the tune of $50 000 - that's $50 000 of yours and my money! -readers can be excused for asking what did the Australian community get out of the conference. Probably the most important factor k the increased international awareness of Australia's existence in the area of sports administration. Our country is so geographically remote that major sporting confederations in other countries rarely if - Page 80 0 Garry Daly is the Executive Director of the Confederationof Australian Sport, which hosted the "SPORT INTERNATIZTNAL '81" conference. ever, hear of Australia.,.So, acting as host nation for such an important occasion must provide some rub-off. The undoubted success of the exercise in terms of each affiliate nation being seen to co-operate with its sporting neighbours also provides a giant "plus." The election of Mr Reid as chief of the world body is further evidence that the "investment" has produced a worthwhile dividend. Well done, Confederation of Australian Sport! 0 -- - CLUB NEWS (Cont'd from page 79) ALBANY GUN CLUB (W.A.)
