Notes
John H. Byrnes
ELECTION OF NATIONAL PRESIDENT
By the time this column is published in the August
magazine a new National President will have been
elected at the Executive Meeting held in Wagga during
July. In my last annual report I clearly stated that I
would not be seeking re election for a fourth term as
National President. The reasons for this are many and I
believe it is time for the National Association to move
on and have new direction and new ideas.
I offer my congratulations to who ever is elected, it is a
great honour to represent your sport in this manner. It
is also a time consuming and demanding position at
times, but it also carries many rewards. I have enjoyed
my time as President and have come to appreciate the
great effort put in by many hardworking personnel at
clubs all around Australia. I hope all club delegates and
State Associations will get behind the elected President
to ensure we have a unified approach to bring about the
best results for the future of the sport.
Day 1, Saturday 17th May. Early morning revealed superbly presented grounds by the host South Australian Gun Club. The
weather was overcast and breezy, but it did get a little windier
with minor rain as the Carnival progressed and fairly bucketed
down during and after presentations on the final day. The campers
had settled in and were enjoying breakfast around the campfire.
The State administrators were optimistically waiting to see if the
programme, with doubled cash prizes, thanks to a grant received
from the South Australian Government, and increased promotion,
was to attract a good field of Skeet shooters. Practice the previous
afternoon was very well patronized with some excellent shooting
in the perfect conditions.
The effort was rewarded with 59 “Skeeties” trying their luck over
the programme, a large increase over last year and the best attendance in the 6 years of the 3-day format.
I would like to take the opportunity to thank all who
have supported and assisted me during my time as
President. Your assistance has been appreciated and I
look forward to catching up with many of you in the
future around the traps.
STATE CARNIVALS
Skeet shooters have the NSW State Skeet titles being
held at the National Grounds in Wagga on August 22nd24th.
ISSF competitors have the Northern Territory carnival
being held in Darwin in August 24th-25th.
In September we have several State Carnivals programmed so there should be plenty of opportunity for
all over the next few weeks.

Guy Yoannidis, overall winner State Skeet Doubles with president
John Holder.
Sincere thanks to all shooters from near and far for contributing
to what was to prove a very successful carnival, with some exceptional shooting. Great to welcome interstate shooters: Laurie Parmenter, Marco Ponta and Clem Bertini from WA; Peter and Carmel
Carlon, Bill Attwood and Bob Thorne from Victoria; Colin Sim,
John Guberina and Paul Kouroupis from New South Wales and
Henry Haythorpe from Queensland. Strong support was appreciated from the Broken Hill region and the South Eastern region.
The State Doubles C/S commenced the Carnival with two 47’s
leading the way. Kym Retsas (the beginning of the onslaught) and
Guy Yoannidis, who was making a return after a long absence that
obviously hadn’t harmed his form. The shoot off lasted 6 targets
with Guy successful as Overall and “A” winner 53/56 from Ray
Kimber 46/50. “AA” was won by Kym 52/56 from Robert Dower
57/62 who outlasted 4 in the shoot off. Following a 3way shoot off
“B” was won by Ray Mack 51/62 from Ken Atkin 50/62. Dougal
Simson won “C” with a fine 46/50 from father Robert 42/50 and Bill
Attwood 43/50 was the successful Veteran.
The State Handicap saw 15 shooters commence the shoot off with
7 on the ‘wood’, 4 with one up their sleeve, 2 with 2, one with 3 and
one with 4. After a further 41 targets the dust settled with NSW
August 2003
The host Club then conducted the State Night
Skeet C/S with 21 starters braving the somewhat chilly and challenging conditions with
overall honours going to NSW visitor John
Guberina. Detailed results in the SAGC report.
Day 2. More windy and overcast weather. Following the completion of the Open Zones Team
Shoot won by the Western Zone (Evan Stepehnson, Wayne Channing, Barry Foley, Alan
Pearson, Robin Freebairn, and John Holder)
after a count back from Central Zone, shooters
slipped into Event 3. The Festival City Skeet
C/S. Kym Retsas recorded the only possible thus
taking overall and “AA” honours from Robert
Dower 48/50. Following the shoot offs “A” winner
was Les Charles 60/61 from Sim-Hee Neoh
59/61. “B” Peter Hendy 49/50 from Jim Cornwell
48/51. “C” Robert Simson 46/50, Dougal Simson
45/50 and Veteran winner Bill Attwood 51/55.
The field then presented for the premier event of
the Carnival, the South Australian State Skeet

tricks with scoring and Kym Retsas (again) and
Les Charles recorded the only possibles. Kym
visitor Paul Kouroupis successful 89/91 from Robert Simson 82/91,
succumbed to high 5 leaving Les with the State title and “A”
Ken Atkin 80/87, Dougal Simson 76/88 and Evan Stephenson

team was the South Australian GC 247/250, represented by Kym
Retsas, Les Charles, Sim Neoh, Colin Jacobs and Ray Kimber.
Day 3. Breezy and overcast. The Adelaide Skeet C/S saw 3 possibles, Kym Retsas (yet again) in “AA” and Evan Stephenson and

Ray Kimber in “A”. Following the longest and most dramatic shoot
off of the Carnival, Kym finally won a shoot off at his fourth
attempt to take out overall and “AA” honours with 107/108 from
Ray and Evan in “A” grade. Kym dropped H4 again in the first
round and unbelievably Ray let him back in, but Kym did not give
Ray a second chance. “AA” second Clem Bertini 62/62. “B” Darren
Beck (a new skeet shooter) 52/55 from Dougal Simson (newly promoted) 51/55. “C” David Woolcock 59/62, Robert Hammat 58/62,
Veteran Barry Foley 47/50.
At this point, Ray Kimber and Barry Foley had the difficult decision of deciding whether they wanted to qualify for the Open Team
or Veteran Team. They both elected Open and were rewarded by
making the Open Shoulder to Shoulder Team.

some fine shooting, the efforts of Kym Retsas being exceptional.
Scuttlebutt during the Presentations and around the car park was
that shooters generally had a most enjoyable time and we will be
hoping you can join us again next year. Please do, we thoroughly
enjoyed your company and shooting expertise.

Traps performed faultlessly throughout with only a minor problem
with a sticking release button, and a blown main fuse Sunday
morning that was quickly fixed by resident camper and “Sparkey”
Evan Stephenson, thanks Evan. Set-up and breakage rate was less
than 5% which is extremely good.
Sincere thanks to all shooters, the South Australian Gun Club and
members and all officials and workers for a job very well done.

Rockhampton Clay Target Club
The Rockhampton Clay Target Club’s Annual Two Day Shoot
was held on Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th June 2003. There
were shooters from 22 different clubs in attendance, from as far
a field as Normanton to the North, Brisbane to the South and
Ilfracombe to the West.
The magic 100 barrier was just missed with 99 competitors
nominating, taking advantage of the unusual warm weather
for this time of year. The numbers put pressure on services,
however those involved rallied to the cause, with the only complaint being the mud cake having too many calories.
With this number of competitors
victory did not come easy, with all
winners justly deserving. The results
for Saturday were as follows:
Event 1 - 25 Target Double Barrel
Cash Divide: (AA grade): - G Wright,
R McPherson, R Collinson, V Hyde, R

South East Zone Vic
Teams Shoot Update No 2
On Saturday April 12th at Mornington Clay Target
Club we saw Round 2 of the very successful Vic
South East Zone Teams shoot. The attendance was
an all time record for the host Club Mornington Vic
with 90 Shooters and 16 Teams. Competition was
hot all day in tough conditions over 3 grounds
making it even tougher.
Event No 1 25 Target Double Barrel. We saw only 16 possibles, into the shoot off and after a short time the winners were
in First Place, Overall & AA Neal Rundle 77/77 from Korumburra and Second AA Steve White 62/63 all the way from Bairnsdale Vic. In the Grades; “A” 1st S Zotti 76/77, 2nd D Douglas
30/31. “B” 1st P Brennan 41/42, 2nd M Rocco 38/39. “C” 1st J
Smeaton 23/25, 2nd B. Elsley 21/25.
Event No 2 25 Target Handicap. This was the event to test
us all out and the scores showed it. At the end of qualifying
there were 2 possibles, Luca Scribani-Rossi and Serge Zotti each
on a clean 25 Targets. Into the shoot off it was flat out with Luca
on 22m and Serge pushing him on 19m, after only 9 targets Luca
came out on top winning 34/34 with Serge second with 33/34.
The pressure was then on for 3rd place with 12 shooters all on
24 targets, 3rd was always going to be tough, with a great
display of Handicap shooting we saw Tod Malone off 21m take
out 3rd place. The back marker was Chris Carrol on 21m and
Junior front marker B. Monson on15m, 22/25.
High Gun No shoot-off needed in this event as Sergio Zotti
from Veneto/Abruzzo was the only shooter to come in with 25 &
25 a clean 50 Targets in Double Barrel and Handicap “BRAVO”
Sergio, well done.

Dear Sir,
In reply to Mr Bevan Reibel’s letter (July 2003) I took the
opportunity of checking through all my record cards/books, and
the following was revealed.
Up to and including the year 1994, ACTA registered shooters
were issued with a folding Record Car of a different colour for
each year.
Then, in 1995, the system changed to a small booklet (still
called a Record Card) with a different coloured cover for each
year, and, the membership year actually printed on the front
cover. Also attached to the front cover was a white ‘stick on’
label which had all the member’s details.
In 1998 the system was improved slightly when the Record
Book, now grey in colour, was issued with the Membership Year
also typed on the ‘stick on’ label with black printing was issued
to each member upon renewal of annual registration. What an
Excellent Idea, particularly if your book was a long way from
being full.
Alas, in 2000 it was back to the old system of a new booklet of
a different colour for each year. But at least someone got it right
this year when the ‘stick on’ label was redesigned to match the

way the book is opened, read and entries made in it.
Mr Reibel has put forward an extremely valid & common sense
idea and he is to be congratulated for it. My only comment is
this. The ‘stick on’ labels that contains the shooters details
would, as I see it, still have to come from the ACTA National
Office. Apart from that all I can say is I fully support the idea,
but I still can’t figure out why it was discontinued after only
being tried for one year.
Maybe it was just too intelligent and/or ahead of its time.
Yours faithfully
Ron Russell
Dear Sir,
I wholeheartedly agree with Vere Storch’s letter (May 2003) re
her views of the present ACTA handicap rules and rule
changes.
But in all fairness to our executive committee/office staff, who
would preside over such a census? If the ACTA has say 10,000
members; we could expect say 7,500 returns with some 30,000
suggestions (approx. figures only). Then to sort out these variations in answer would be a mammoth task.
To any person who attended the Rules Committee question
night at the National ground (Thurs 03/04/03) would have
heard the Rules Committee chairman tell us why we have had
to have these changes inflicted upon us. Mark stated that his
son was taking up the sport of clay target shooting and wished
to travel overseas to America, England and other countries to
compete. Therefore Mark wanted his son to shoot exactly the
same targets in Australia as he would overseas.
Well, Mark, as I stated at the meeting I wish him all the luck,
because here you cannot go to any two clubs and shoot the
same targets!!! We are in Australia and I think that we, the
shooters, who provide the executive with the money they need,
want one set of rules for Australian DTL and Skeet shooting for
Australian conditions, not Bloody American rules.
To go back to the say 1970/80 rules whereby you shot at every
unbroken target that was released at a 45° angle, went a set
distance at a given height. If you won a handicap event you
done a meter or two and depending on your ability you progressed backwards, nobody put you back without firing a shot.
Why should a shooter be penalised a meter or two because they
had a good run over the years off common mark?? When or
where can a shooter shoot 600 handicap targets to come in a
meter. I feel that this figure should be amended to 200 targets.
What about a shooter who goes up a grade because of a good
run on a good day and does 2metres, after 600 common mark
targets he comes down a grade but what about his handicap??
Why should a novice/junior start on 15m, because they do in
America??
To take matters a step further, lets look at the ACTA statement
of Purposes & Rules (Constitution). Clause 2 para (a) states
that the object of the Association is to create a single uniform
entity in Australia for the promotion and encouragement of
clay target shooting. Has the executive taken any steps towards
this goal? At present, we (the legal shooters) cannot speak with
a united voice to any Government of the day. Why can’t the
various organisations get their fingers out and create a united
front?? Forget the internal hierarchy power struggle and
promote our sport!
Sub Claus (d) states that the Association will at all times separate with and promote mutual trust and confidence between
it and the members. Most shooters that I have spoken to
believe that the rules committee are too secretive and need to
be more transparent. By this I mean, we never know of any rule
changes until they are published in Aug/Sept CTSN giving no
time to reply before being enacted in January the following
year.
To the rules committee I say let us the shooters have say in
your decisions!!

Dear Your Say
Our club has a junior member who attended the recent DTL
Nationals and shot in C grade. On winning his grade in the
August 2003
Single Barrel and Double Rise he received $40.00 for 1st in
Single Barrel and $30.00 for first in the Double Rise
Considering that the Junior Noms were $40.00 and the Open
were $50.00 this seems to be a totally inadequate return for a
National Title. There were approximately 10 open and 8 juniors
who shot the Single Barrel in C grade for a pool of $830.00. This
is a return of around 5% for first in C grade, which is an
absolute disgrace!
It seems that the ACTA Executive do not want to encourage
juniors or grade shooters to attend the Nationals. We feel that
the percentage break up of returns to all winners and place
getters should be advertised so that shooters are able to see
what percentage of money is to be left in their grade pools so
they can decide whether it is worth while attending.
We are not impressed with the unnecessary rule changes and
the way the ACTA want to Americanize shooting. This seems to
be for the benefit of a few at the expense of what the majority
wants.
Also combining handicap and common mark percentages
where relatively new shooters are shooting off 17-19 meters
after having never won a handicap event is not going to attract
new shooters into the sport or old ones to stay.
Shouldn’t we be looking after the juniors and new shooters, not
trying to discourage them?
Yours sincerely & safe shooting

Dear Your Say
I refer to the Ivan Halbert letter of the June CTSN. I support
him totally.
For shooters to take in excess of 10 seconds to take a shot be it
DTL or skeet is disruptive and annoying to competing shooters.
This is not equity of sportsmanship and is detrimental to the
sport.
Shooters who exercise deep breathing and prolonged concentration taking in excess of 10 seconds, let alone up to 32 seconds
to take their shot, is outrageous. Such competitors should be
penalized after a warning and disqualified if they continue
with their disruptive and prima donna behaviour.
The Atherton Gun Club executive have discussed this activity
adopted by a few rogues and all agree the Australian Rules
Committee should act immediately to stop and correct this
manipulative behaviour, by a few inconsiderate scheming
shooters.
Yours faithfully

CUZZO’S RAMBLINGS
August 2003
There are really only two items of equipment that are absolutely
indispensable when you go out to shoot a round of Trap or Skeet.
These are a gun and a box of shells. Both these items are so expansive and complex that I hope to write individual articles giving my
views on each of them at some later time. This month I want to
examine all the rest of the equipment that I refer to as Shooting
Gear.
My reasoning for this is simple. Unfortunately, I see it as just
another area that new shooters generally struggle to come to grips
with, due to insufficient or contradictory advice in the early stages.
This invariably leads them down the time honoured but debrisstrewn road of trial and error. For that reason this subject has a
chapter all of its own in my Shooting Manual, where I break the
topic down into eight sub-sections and these are: Ear Protection,
Glasses, Shooting Jackets and/or Pouches, Footwear, Headwear,
Toe-tabs, Wet Weather Gear and Gear Bags.
As the first two items involve health and safety, I see them as basically mandatory. The next two are pretty much a practical necessity. And the last four can make life on the field a whole lot easier,
and thus possibly the difference between whether you win or lose
on any given day. The very last one, a Gear Bag, is actually the
heading of another whole sub-section unto itself, but more of that
later. Now I intend to examine each of them in turn in the above
order.
EAR PROTECTION
Ear protection comes in two main forms - ear muffs and ear plugs.
Of the two, ear muffs will usually provide the best ear protection,
but they suffer from the general disadvantages of greater bulk,
usually greater cost, interference with the gun stock and being too
hot to be comfortable during extreme summer weather. They come
in a wide range varying in cost and effectiveness from light simple
examples, all the way to very expensive and sophisticated models
incorporating selective amplifiers. Ear plugs also come in a wide
range from simple foam rubber tubes through finned rubber plugs,
with and without valves, and finally to the custom moulded rubber
plugs, which are becoming increasingly popular with competition
shooters.
GLASSES
Probably the single most important and complex item of shooting
gear is a pair of shooting glasses. This is because they serve dual
functions. The first is fairly basic and is simply eye protection. The
other however is much more complex, and that is target perception
improvement. From a safety viewpoint, glasses are desirable for
all types of Clay Target shooting in order to protect the eyes from
a number of things including gun powder residue, ejected hulls,
dust on a windy day and/or metal shrapnel in the unlikely event
of a gun blowing up.
Be aware also that a Skeet range introduces two more potential
eye dangers that are not so prevalent in the other forms of Clay
Target shooting. They are the chances of being struck by target
pieces or ricocheting pellets. Due to the layout of a Skeet field, the
line of the target flight, and the angle of some shots, the likelihood
of being struck by target pieces or ricocheting pellets is greatly
increased, especially where adjoining layouts are being used
simultaneously. Neither of these hazards will usually have enough
striking force to cause any serious bodily harm, except if they
strike the eyes. So until the rules are changed to make the practice mandatory, always wear glasses when on or near any Skeet
range.
The critical areas of early and clear target perception can be
greatly improved by wearing glasses with coloured lenses. Glare
and squinting can be reduced by wearing darkened lenses on
Page 12
bright sunny days, and target vision can be improved by using
lenses which enhance the target colour and increase the contrast
with the background. When shooting black targets the best lens
colour is probably the one that most greatly de-enhances the particular background colour. However if fluoro or orange-domed
targets are being used, I believe the best lenses are probably dark
red/orange for bright sunny days and light red/orange for overcast
days. Plus I always carry a set of clear lenses for very low light conditions and/or night shooting.
Rather than carrying numerous pairs of glasses, the most practical solution is to have a pair of good quality frames that accept
interchangeable lenses. Not only does this system reduce the cost
and bulk of a good glasses package, but allows the use of the same
set of comfortable familiar glasses under all conditions. The three
main attributes that glasses require, in order to be suitable for all
forms of Clay Target shooting, are wrap-around ear pieces, so that
they don’t move under recoil, the absolute minimum of exterior
framework to minimise distraction, and the minimum possible
dimension in the middle between the lenses in order to maximize
off-centre vision.
SHOOTING JACKETS/POUCHES
The primary function of either a shooting jacket or a pouch is to
provide a method of carrying up to two boxes of shells while you
are shooting each round. The advantages of jackets are their
greater potential carrying capacity (for both live and fired shells if
you reload) and their ability to incorporate a recoil pad on the
shoulder. Their main disadvantage, as with ear muffs, is the fact
that they become too hot to be comfortable during extreme
summer weather. For novice shooters who can most appreciate the
shoulder padding, or if you only shoot during the cooler months or
in the southern states, a professional tailor made shooting jacket
is definitely well worth the extra expense. But don’t bother taking
it to Darwin for a two-day shoot in January.
Pouches have the general advantages of less bulk, lower cost and
their ability to be comfortable in all weather conditions. They are
available with dual compartments for those people who save their
fired shells and I believe the most practical belt arrangement is a
2” light-weight nylon webbing one with a quick-release catch. The
ultimate Clay Target shooting pouch has a velcro flap compartment on the front which neatly holds a hard glasses case and an
ear plug holder, and also has a small pocket sewn into the back of
the rear compartment for carrying such things as alternate shells,
practice tickets, a wad remover plug, lunch money, etc etc.
FOOTWEAR
The last item of practical necessity for a Clay Target shooter is
some type of suitable footwear. Such special footwear has two
main requirements. It needs to be very comfortable and it needs to
provide very sure footing. Leather soled cowboy boots and high
heel shoes have no place on a Clay Target range. During a normal
two-day shoot, a minimum of three hours will be spent standing on
the field, so comfort is paramount. The last thing you need to be
thinking about between shots is sore or uncomfortable feet. Soft
rubber soles are highly desirable even in dry weather, let alone
when standing on smooth wet slippery concrete swinging your gun
around and shifting your weight from foot to foot. They are even
more desirable walking to your field down a grassy slope or an
inclined concrete path where a fall could result in serious damage
to your valuable gun or injury to yourself. Most shooters agree that
a pair of good quality tennis-shoes or sneakers are the most suitable footwear available. They are light, comfortable, relatively
inexpensive, have stable soles, and being generally white, are as
cool as possible during the summer.
August 2003
HEADWEAR
Any hat with at least a brim at the front will suffice. The most
widely used and convenient type is a peaked cap. These caps not
only look good, but also serve many useful functions. On a sunny
day they keep the glare off your glasses and the sun out of your
eyes. On a rainy day they help keep the raindrops off your glasses
and out of your eyes. On a windy day they keep your hair from
blowing in your eyes. In very cold weather a cap made from thick
solid material will help keep you warm and in very hot weather a
lightweight cap with a mesh-back will keep your head shaded
whilst also allowing ventilation.
TOE TABS
The best way to hold a shotgun whilst waiting to shoot, either on
or off the layout, is with it broken open and held by the pistol grip
with the muzzle resting on the top of your shoe. The only two disadvantages of this method are that it puts a dirty mark on your
shoe, and causes discomfort to the top of your foot after a while.
Both can be reduced by wearing a toe tab on the appropriate shoe.
Toe tabs come in two types - the leather flaps which have been
around for ages, or the newer plastic barrel buttons. Most toe tabs
clip onto your shoelaces and both types work well.
WET WEATHER GEAR
Clay Target shooting tournaments continue on in all weather conditions except when lightning is visible. Therefore, sooner or later
you will have to shoot in the rain, so carrying your rain-suit with
you at all times makes good sense. The most practical type is a
separate jacket and pants made from light waterproof nylon, which
will roll up into a compact bundle when not being used.
SHOOTING GEAR BAGS
The primary function of a shooting gear bag is to be the central
base of operations for a well organized Clay Target shooter. Sounds
pretty simple and it really is, but not many people actually get
around to setting one up. A Gear Bag has two main functions. The
first is to minimise your checklist as you leave the house to go
shooting. That checklist should have a maximum of five items.
Gun, Shells, Gear Bag, Shooting shoes and Hat. The last two can
be eliminated if you prefer to wear these from the house or choose
to utilise a Bag big enough to accommodate these.
The second main function is to have a handy accessible place
where you keep all the rest of your shooting gear. Start the contents agenda with every mortal thing that you can think of, that
you may need at some time at the Gun Club. Then progressively
add every other thing that you find you could use and don’t have,
along with every other thing you see someone else with, and
realise that you may need yourself some day. Obviously the contents will start with your earmuffs and plugs, your glasses and
spare lenses, your pouch and shooting jacket and your wet weather
gear.
However also add your ACTA handicap card, a hand towel, a biro
and/or pencil, a notebook and an ACTA rulebook. Add other items
as you see fit and don’t overlook a “spare one” of many of the items,
in case of loss or breakage. Your contents list should never be finished, but your goal is to work towards a situation where you can
never say, “I would have shot better today if only I hadn’t forgotten
to bring item X”, or “I could have won today if only I’d had an item
Z.” Finally remember versatility. Have a jacket and a pouch. Carry
earmuffs and earplugs. No matter which you prefer, use the other
occasionally so that you are ready for and comfortable in all situations.

MARYBOROUGH TID BITS

I keep getting asked to restart my piece that I had monthly in CTSN
so I will send this one in to give our biggest shoot, the “Heritage City
One Day” and the “Maryborough Masters Games” a plug. First I
would like to go back to the South East Zone Trap Carnival last year.
I think how lucky we were not to have lost our clubhouse, as on the
Sunday there were three storms hanging around and I knew we
were going to get at least one of them. At the end of the shoot we had
shoot-offs for Handicap and High Guns to get through when two of
the storms joined and started coming our way.
Our clubhouse has three sides of Besser blocks, but the whole front
opens up as we have five metal shutters that stand on legs when
open, which gives good shade. On big days we have tarps on the front
of the shutters for further shade and this is the way the storm came.
I was sitting at one end and felt so helpless. We could have pulled
down the tarps and closed the shutters but we didn’t have time, as
all of a sudden we had three inches of water on the ground pushing
along in waves with winds which seemed a hundred miles an hour.
At this stage the shutters were lifting and the tarps started to pull
away and rip and I thought the roof was going to go any second.
However we survived the onslaught of the storm without too much
damage. I have been through a lot of storms in my life but was
always able to close up and hope for the best, but this one caught us
with our pants down and could have been a lot worse for our clubhouse.
I want to extend an invitation to all shooters to our Heritage City
One-Day shoot in conjunction with the Maryborough Masters
Games. We do not shoot at all in September but have the Heritage
City and the Masters shoot on October 5th starting at 9am. This
shoot works in that everyone shoots the Heritage One-Day like any
other shoot.
The program is:
25 D/B
50 D/B points
25 Handicap 1st to 4th
15 pair Double Rise.
The 50-target points event is also the Masters Games event for
shooters 35 and over. Gold, silver and bronze medals are awarded in
each grade in each age group - 35-49, 50-64 and over 65. The medals
are in addition to the trophies and sash. This is a great shoot and we
hope to see many shooters on the day.
Because we don’t shoot in September we shoot twice in October, so
on our usual day October 26th 11am, we have a Championship Day
with four Championships.
D/B
S/B
Points
Double Rise
Sashes for O/A in each event, plus O/A High Gun.
This will be another great day shooting and we hope to see you
there.
We have been very happy with the numbers of shooters we have had
at our shoots lately. When you come to the Masters games you will
be looked after by the following: our President, who is “glued in the
position”, Dr Paul Anderson, but a little tip - don’t talk to Dr Paul too
long or you will get an account as he doesn’t bulk bill. Our Senior
Vice President, who we were very lucky to get at our club as he was
looking for somewhere to come home to between shooting around the
world with our top shooters. As luck would happen Yvonne and John
Maxwell hung their hats up in Hervey Bay. A great choice. John has
put an injection into the club with his shooting and coaching and he’s
a nice fellow and lovely partner to boot. Then you may bump into
Peter Pagliarino who is our Junior Vice President - who takes on a
big part of the running of our club and is always willing to help.
When you arrive you will pay your noms to Holly, who has been our
secretary/treasurer for donkeys years. The club relies on Holly to do
everything and if she doesn’t have it done Holly will get the sack. “I
bet Holly would like that”
Page 14
The next group you may meet run the shoot,
and if anything isn’t right, get stuck into them.
Starting with our Captain Neil Berry - well
what can I say about Neil? He has a jacket
with Australia on it so he has been to the top; he has been in our area
for several years and joined to shoot with us. Glad to have you
aboard Neil. Next is Vice Captain Malcolm Zipf. Malcolm joined in
the last few years and does a good job. If a ref or scorer forgets to do
his bit Malcolm soon jumps in even if he has done the last three.
There has been a Zipf around shooting somewhere since I started so
Malcolm could have gunpowder in his veins.
Our Shoot Marshall looks more like the Lone Ranger, mostly dressed
in black, but in a short time David Nicholson has shot from C Grade
to AA. He took to shooting like a duck to water and is now our Shoot
Marshall. Good Work Nicho. Another great asset to the club at
working bees and shoots is Allan Joblin, who is our Deputy Shoot
Marshall. Allan is also a shooter who hasn’t shot for a great length
of time. He is always ready to get squads moving and a keen shooter.
Just lately we lost power between No 1 and No 2 traps and the clubhouse, but Allan had things up and going in no time.
Now if you show off and have a great day, our handicappers, Yvonne
Salisbury and Kevin Ross will find a new grade for you. But don’t let
that stop you from coming. Our canteen has lots of goodies for you
with Kerri Hoblin and her band of helping hands to serve you. I
won’t try and name all the helpings hands as I may forget one and
then I will be in trouble. And behind the whole show is Andy Wood,
husband to Holly. He keeps those tricky little traps ticking over.
Thank you Andy and all the other workers.
And talking about workers, we gained one shooter with three
workers thrown in. It’s like this: we held school shoots last year and
the only one to stick with it was Glenn Wyatt, who is now in A Grade.
Good shooting Glenn. The best part is Mum Jan, who is the best
raffle ticket seller, joined the club along with her husband Phillip
who helps setting up and putting away along with all the odd jobs.
Younger brother Luke is a trapper and a great little worker. Thanks
to the Wyatt family - we could do with more like you.
John told me this story; it isn’t a joke but dinky-di. This fellow
heading home late one night was pulled up by the Booze Bus. They
put the bag on him and it went sky high so they said “out of here old
buddy and we’ll have a blood test”. He had just sat down in the Booze
Bus when there was a big smash at the back of the line-up. All the
police were off to see what happened. This mate of John’s thought
‘Blow this, I’m off’ so he jumps in the car, gets home and into bed. Six
o’clock in the morning there’s a knock at the door and it’s the police,
who say, “Didn’t we pull you up last night?” and the fellow says, “No,
I was home in bed”. So the policed ask to have a look at his car and
the bloke thinks, ‘This is OK, I never hit anything so they will have
nothing on me’. So off down to the garage they all go. When they
open the door you should have seen the look on the guys face when
he discovers a police car in the garage. True story, so John says. I
believe you John. Thanks.
Well at the same shoot I was No 1 shooter and Lex No 2 so it was our
turn to ref and score. I said to Lex, “Do you want to call them or
score? If you call I will have to get my glasses”. So Lex said, “You call.
I can look under my shooting glasses and score”. So away we go and
in about round 10 all hell broke loose. You see the chairs we sit on to
score are old bar stools that I got many years ago and the rubbers
are worn off the end of the legs. The legs are about 3/4 inch square
steel and with good rain the night before the ground was soft. Lex
leans back in his chair and the back legs start sinking and Lex is
heading backwards. So I think Lex has taken a micky and fallen
down, then to save himself he grabs me and my chair legs start
sinking and we both go head over heels onto our backs. With no one
seeing us the squad was still banging away and we didn’t know who
was hitting what. So I sang out “Stop! Stop!” and they turned around
to see Lex and myself flat out on the grass. They helped us up and
we caught up with the score and we were back in business, with Lex
putting his chair on the middle lane. Now that is a true story.
Rowan at Cooma - Did Uncle John give you the High Gun mug I gave
August 2003
him to give to you, or did he keep it himself?
Laney - Thanks for the lovely surprise letter enquiring about my
health and if that is the reason I don’t travel to Gympie any more. I
was sorry to hear you were flood bound and only had plenty of wine
and Phil. Glad to hear your shooting is improving. Stick at it. I don’t
want to dishearten you but to win in Continental sometimes you
shoot and the target runs into the shot. No, just joking Laney. Yes I
found it a bit hard travelling and shooting all day so I thought I
would give it a spell. Not like young Harry. He is like a spring
chicken. He says his good health is having 365 eggs a year, he has a
boiled egg every morning followed by toast and honey. So if you want
to be fit at 86 - egg and honey for breakfast. If he has 365 eggs a year
he must have two on March 1st in leap years to get his 365 in. Harry
and myself went to Bundaberg, Gympie and our own shoot for about
12 years and I would like to thank Harry as he supplied the car.
Sorry to let you down and have you travel by yourself Harry. So with
having chronic lymphatic leukemia and post-herpetic neuralgia I am
damm lucky to have done the shooting I have. In fact I have used
shooting plus my ‘home life’ to keep myself going and interested in
life, as it can get you down sometimes. So thank you for your letter
and your thoughts, it is nice to be missed. You will have to come to
the Masters Games shoot, but then you don’t look 35. Thanks Laney
and Phil, see you somewhere.
Two fellows taking their dogs for a walk when they come to the pub
and one fellow says to his mate, “I’d like a cold one” and the other one
says, “We can’t go in there with these dogs and his mate says just
take my lead and follow me”. So the bloke with the Labrador walks
up to the bar and says, “Two beers thanks”, putting his money on the
bar, when the barman sees this fellow with a dog he says, “You can’t
bring that dog in here”. So the bloke says, “This is my seeing-eye dog.
I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for him”. So the barman says, “OK. If
it’s a seeing-eye dog that’s alright”. Then he spots the other man’s
dog and says, “ You can’t have a dog in the bar, mate. You will have
to take it outside”. So the fellow says, “This is my seeing-eye dog”.
The barman starts laughing and says, “Are you trying to tell me that
Chihuahua is a seeing-eye dog? I’ve never seen that before”. The
bloke with the Chihuahua says, “Is that what they gave me? A Chihuahua?”
Stafford, hope you have found a place to put your feet up. Best
wishes to your wife and yourself and good shooting in your retirement.
After the Masters games, we finish the year with November 23rd at
11am after the AGM at 9am.
The program is:
25 D/B C/S
25 SB
25 Points
15 pair Double Rise.
Then our fun day Christmas Shoot is on December 21st. The
program could be anything but you will be shooting for half hams,
chickens, puddings, biscuits or something like it. It’s always nice to
take something home for Christmas.
I was in the Torquay pub the other day and we see an old sailing boat
come in. Next a bloke came in the batwing doors and of all people it
was Captain Hook. So I said to Hook, “I am in the buying seat. What
are you drinking Hook?” and he said, “Make it a rum”. So I got him
a rum and said, “Tell us the true story of how you only have on leg,
one hand and one eye”.
So Hook says, “It was very rough and the rigging came down and
broke my leg in twenty places, so our cook, who is also the doctor,
said, “I will have to take the leg off”. So Hook said, “Do what you
have to”. So the doctor takes off the leg and says, “Now for the worst
part. As you know, Captain, we have to put hot tar on the stump to
stop the bleeding and heal the stump”. So the ships carpenter makes
a peg leg and pushes it into the hot tar. “So that is how I got a peg
leg’, said Captain Hook. So I said, “What about the hand?” “Well”,
Hook said, “We met up with Grey Beard and he jumps on my ship
and with one swipe my hand and sword lay on the deck. So once
again the doctor-cook gets the hot tar and covers the butt of my arm
with the hot tar. Then the ship’s blacksmith makes me a hook out of
my sword. So that is how I have a hook for a hand. “What about the
eye?” I said. “Well” said Hook, “it was a lovely day and I looked up at
the birds when a seagull messed in my eye”. “That should have been
August 2003
easy to wipe out,” I said, and Hook says, “You try to wipe bird mess
out of your eye the first day you have a hook for a hand!” And then
the wife wakes me up and said, “you are dreaming again, aren’t you?
I can smell rum on your breath.”
I would like to know if a suicide bomber gets paid before or after he
does his job? Also does he put a few bob away for his old age?
Brady, hope you have a place you can break a few clays. Best of luck,
Brady.
I found out how they pay suicide bombers. Piece by piece, bit by bit.
25TH MAY, MARYBOROUGH CLUB SHOOT.
When I arrived all the AA shooters were laughing and in a good
mood, so I said to one of them, “Why so happy?” and they said, “John
Maxwell is overseas with the Irish Trap Team and we have a chance
today”. But they didn’t count on young Glenn Wyatt who took out
both the 50 target championships shooting 100/100. Good shooting
Glenn.
So the day was 50 target D/B Championship - AA Tim Gardner, A &
O/A Glenn Wyatt, B Gerry Chizzotti and C Darrell King.
The 50 target Continental Championship - AA Spud Robertson, A &
O/A Glenn Wyatt, B Trevor Cecil and C Spencer Plath.
High Guns - AA Spud Robertson, A Glenn Wyatt, B Brian Fourro and
C Spencer Plath.
We finished the shoot early and for the willing shooters a double rise
was put on but Harry and I were off home. A great day, not a cloud
in the sky and just lovely for shooting. Thanks to the shooters for
coming.
We have gained a few new members this year and welcome Claude
Brigato and Marc Mavro from Tahiti, who have both been shooting
for many years, and Gerry Chizotti who brings his coaching and
handicapping expertise to our club.
Good shooting to all. Till next time, see you at our shoots.

MATHOURA GUN CLUB
COOL MAY SHOOT
Cold conditions kept some shooters away on Friday night the 23rd
of May, but it was still a reasonable turnout for the competition.
The cold conditions kept scores down as shooters tried to concentrate on the targets and not the weather, resulting in only one possible being shot for the entire shoot.
The main consolation being that there was a fire burning outside
and one in the clubhouse for shooters to thaw out after competing.
Event one, the eye opener, was a five pair Double Rise with one
pair to practice on and then into serious shooting with Leigh
Knight of Bendigo taking 1st and the cash on 9/10, and Alen
Patten of Numurkah on an 8/10 taking 2nds cash.
Event Two, a Victorian North East Zone Night Double Rise discipline, fifteen pair being impossible for all shooters to hit, a 28/30
being the best shot by L Knight. Once again demonstrating to all
he knows how to shoot double rise taking the Sash, Trophy & A
Grade, B Grade was Ben Kerslake (Moama) on a 24/30, C Grade H
O’Conner on 20/30.
Event Three, A fifteen target Points Score, with trophies for three
shooters.
After a short shoot off George Bradley of Cohuna took out first
place on an excellent full score of 57/57. Second place was Ben
Kerslake on 56/57 after having to use a second barrel in the shoot
off, and third place was Murray Roberts (Echuca) after using a
second barrel in the first round being on 44/45.
All who attended admitted that it was very cold but they were glad
they came as the shoot ran well and the competition was keen.
Mathoura Gun Club shoots again on Friday night the 27th of June
with once again a North East Zone title on offer, a Deauville
Double event.
The shoot closed at 10pm with the President wishing good shooting to all.
Murray Roberts.

COMMONWEALTH GAMES 2006
Top Guns and the Law
Shooting is the only sport on the Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth
Games program, where athletes will be required by law, to comply
with state & territory legislation before they are able to participate in the Games. The Victorian Firearms Act 1966, Act No.
66/1966, concerns firearms and ammunition, which for athletes
participating in the Commonwealth Games shooting events, is
their sporting equipment.
Under The Victorian Firearms Act, penalties, including the possible confiscation of firearms, monetary fines and terms of imprisonment, may be imposed on any person who fails to comply with
or breaches the conditions of their Firearm’s Licence or Permit.
There is a need for the Organising Committee for the Melbourne
2006 Commonwealth Games (M2006), to possess a Firearms Procedures Manual, to ensure that all persons concerned with the
shooting events of the Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games
are able to comply with Federal, State/Territory legislative
requirements. Currently no such document exists.
As a result, a comprehensive Firearms Procedure Manual has
been produced for M2006 to use as the model for the control of
firearms, ammunition and spare parts, for the 2005 Commonwealth Shooting Championships and Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games. The manual which is designed to assist the
M2006 with the successful implementation and delivery of the
shooting events in 2005 and 2006, is concerned with the carriage,
use and possession of firearms, ammunition and spare parts. It
includes the required police forms for the issue of International
Visitor Firearm Permit and customs forms for the import and
export of firearms, ammunition and spare parts.
The manual addresses international and domestic airline
requirements, transportation of what is primarily sporting equipment to and from the competition venue armory, security at the
competition venue, carriage use and possession of firearms and
ammunition by athlete’s and official’s at the venue and athletes
access for training and competition. It also identifies firearms
licencing requirements for competition officials and M2006 staff
and volunteers involved with the carriage, use and possession of
firearms and ammunition, as well as pre and post-competition
storage.
International athletes must possess a valid International Visitor
Firearm Permit, issued by the Police Licensing Service of the Australian state/territory in which they arrive, for them to legally
carry, use and possess firearms in Australia. National athletes
must possess a valid State/Territory Firearms Licence. Few
people, apart from those closely associated with shooting, would
be aware that the same requirements and penalties will extend to
coaches, team managers, competition officials, Melbourne 2006
staff and even volunteers, involved with the carriage, use and possession of firearms at the Games.
Australian athletes, team coaches, specific Games officials and
M2006 staff and volunteers involved with the carriage, use and
possession of firearms and ammunition, are required to possess a
valid Firearms Licence issued in their home state/territory. For
persons living in Victoria, the Firearms Licence is issued by the
Victorian Firearms Licensing Service (VFLS), a department of
the Victorian Police. For persons living outside Victoria, the
VFLS, under a reciprocal licencing agreement, recognises licences
issued by other states/ territories licensing services.
Under the Australian Customs (Prohibited Import) Regulations
1956, made under the Customs Act 1901, international athletes,
coaches and team managers, must possess a Police/Customs’
Import Form (B709A) to enable them to import firearms, ammunition and/or spare parts for the Games. Any person arriving in
Australia without the required Form B709A will have their
firearms, ammunition, and/or spare parts held by Customs, until
such time as the Victorian Firearms Licensing Service or its state/
Page 18
territory counterpart issues the B709A.
Under the Australian Customs (Prohibited Export) Regulations
1958, as amended, made under the Customs Act 1901, firearms
and spare parts imported into Australia for authorised shooting
events, cannot be disposed of in Australia and must therefore be
exported. Persons who have imported firearms and spare parts
are required to present all firearms and spare parts, together
with a Restricted Goods Permit (RGP) to Customs when departing the country. Unused ammunition not being exported must be
legally disposed of to a licensed person prior to departure.
In addition to the 2006 Games, approximately 400 international
competitors will be coming to Australia for the 2005 Commonwealth Shooting Championships, to gain competition experience
for the 2006 Commonwealth Games. M2006 has the responsibility to clearly communicate to them, state/territory firearms
licencing requirements and Australian Customs’ requirements,
for the import and export of their firearms, ammunition and spare
parts.
A comprehensive information leaflet, containing detailed advice
of what is both required and expected of athletes and officials, will
be forwarded to International Federations participating in the
2005 Commonwealth Shooting Championships and Commonwealth Games Association’s participating in the 2006 Commonwealth Games. Information contained in the leaflet will enable
international competitors individual compliance with the conditions of their Firearms Permit.
Prior to their departure for Australia, M2006 will provide athletes
and official’s participating in the 2005 Commonwealth Shooting
Championships and Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games,
with the appropriate Police/Customs’ Import Form (B709A) and
International Visitor Firearms Permit application forms.
Will international athletes bringing firearms and ammunition to
Australia in 2005 and 2006, face greater requirements to compete
in Australia than in other countries? Who better to answer this
question than Russell Mark, Atlanta 1996 Double Trap Gold
medallist, Sydney 2000 Double Trap Silver medallist and four
times Olympian?
Russell, you have been competing internationally now for more
years than you may wish to remember and Australia probably has
no one more experienced in competing as a shooter in international events than yourself. With the experience that you have
gained throughout what has been an outstanding sporting career,
your views will no doubt be of interest to our readers.
Do you feel that athletes entering Australia with firearms and
ammunition in 2005 and 2006 will find Australian Customs laws,
different to those of other countries?
Australia is generally in line with the rest of the world with
customs and police requirements. Competitive shooters, irrespective of what country they are from, expect that there will be
customs requirements and inspections.
How do you think international athletes will cope with Australian
export laws?
The latest Custom Restricted Goods Permit (RGP) form introduced on July 1st 2002, caught people a little off guard because
the previous form was so well known to most shooters. Providing
they are able to produce their RGP and their firearms for
Customs, taking firearms from the country will not be a problem.
Firearms, such as air rifles, which are required to be licenced in
Australia, are not required to be licenced in some countries. Do
you think that athletes are aware, that they will need to obtain a
licence for all firearms when they come to Australia?
Athletes competing in international shooting events are accustomed to having to comply with Police requirements for their
August 2003
firearms, as are Australian shooters when they travel and
compete overseas. The need to obtain an International Visitor
Firearm Permit, will come as no surprise to shooters coming to
Melbourne for the Commonwealth Games, particularly so for
those who took part in the Sydney 2000 World Cup and Olympic
Games.
From your experience, will international athletes, team managers
and coaches, understand the conditions of their International
Visitor Firearm Permit, with regard to what is legally required of
them to carry, use and possess firearms in Australia?
As the Victorian Firearms Licensing Service will no doubt clearly
describe conditions to apply for International Visitor Firearm
Permits and shooters being more aware than most, about what
not to do concerning firearms, there should not be any problems
in this regard.
Do they think that they understand that penalties could apply, if
they fail to comply with the conditions of their International
Visitor Firearm Permit? Penalties could include the possible cancellation of the Permit and confiscation of their firearm, which as
a result would exclude them from competing. Shooters being
responsible athletes have long been aware and understand that
they must comply with the firearm laws for the country they are
competing in. Melbourne in 2006 will be no different.
Apart from M2006 providing as much early information as possible prior to their arrival, is there anything you believe could be
done to ensure that athletes, team managers, coaches and international competition officials do not breach the conditions of their
IVFP?
I believe you can only provide the relevant countries with the
requirements of our government. The onus is then on the individual to meet these requirements
Russell thanks for your views.
Having won the Double Trap
World Cup in Perth in March, which produced a starting placed
for Australia in Athens, you are continuing to experience your
share of success, all of which is well deserved. Best of luck for
selection as a member of what would be your fifth Australian
Olympic Team in 2004.
Well there you have it. It seems from Russell’s responses, that
persons importing firearms in 2005 and 2006 will not find Australian Customs laws much, if any, different from those of any
other country. It also appears that athletes do have a clear understanding of what will be required of them when they compete in
Australia. Their obligation to meet and comply with these
requirements, as Russell clearly points out, is an individual one.

TAKING UP CLAY TARGET SHOOTING
by: Newton Thomas
So you want to take up clay target shooting, many people
have done so and even if they have not become champions,
have had many years of pleasant recreation. Much of the
enjoyment comes from sharing a common interest in guns
and shooting with people with the same interests.
What you get from a sport is resultant from what you put into
it. One does not have to record a win to have a pleasant relaxing day. Far from it, many people, (far more than is realized)
do not really like the stresses and effort required for competition and really look for a relaxing day with friends in an
atmosphere that they enjoy. This particularity applies to
people with very demanding jobs and a lot of responsibilities
are in part forgotten.
One does not have to have an expensive outfit to perform
well, standard model trap or skeet guns are far superior in
ability to what we are. Consequently, we can forget that side
of it, and we can perform adequately with the standard cartridge produced for trapshooting by a reputable manufacturer.
With cartridges though, keep away from the heavier loads, as
they add to the stress factors created by blast and recoil.
One needs comfortable clothing - a well fitted shooting jacket,
good substantial shoes and a cap or hat to keep the sun from
one’s eyes or face.
August 2003
Hearing protection is essential and this comes in the form of
muffs or ear plus, the muffs being the most effective.
Skeet shooters should always use glasses for eye protection
and most shooters will benefit by using anti-glare glasses of
some kind.
Early shooting days have a great bearing on future abilities
and care should be taken to adopt a comfortable simple shooting style, exaggeration here will only cause future problems.
Take time out to watch the best shots in action and learn from
what they do and how they will do it. Most of them are very
approachable and will be very willing to help one who is
interested enough to ask questions relative to the sport.
Set yourself goals for improvement, and work steadily toward
them - when you achieve one, look to the next.
Always compete against your best scores and not the other
fellow.
Correct thinking plays a far greater part in competition
shooting than most people realize. One must bring the sport
down to its most basic level and build a score as one would
build a wall of bricks - one at a time and each one of equal
value. Shoot twenty matches of one target each instead of one
match of twenty targets.
If you have a Coach at your Club, make yourself known to
him. He will be able to help you in many ways.

ECHUCA HIGH SCHOOL
BOYS ON TARGET
Year nine phys-ed boys arrived out at Echuca Clay Target Club on
Monday 16th June to receive instruction on safe firearm use and
the correct use of a shotgun for target shooting.
Most of the gun clubs committee turned up to offer their time and
expertise in helping the Students understand the enjoyment of
correctly applying the right amount of lead and eye-hand coordination to successfully break a flying target.
The Students were split into two groups and two shooting disciplines, Skeet & Down the Line, with the thought of swapping the
procedure next visit. Although several boys had experience in gun
use, most had never held or fired a firearm before, so to end the
coaching clinic having shot several targets and some almost
hitting all targets was a pleasant surprise.
The Students were very happy with their results and all assured
the Club they were keen to return the following Monday for more
coaching.
President Ron Traill wishes to thank the high school and the
teachers for allowing Clay Target Shooting to be included in the
school sports as he and all the committee thinks the correct and
safe use of firearms should be explained to all juniors. Ron also
wanted to thank the Students for their attention and discipline.
Echuca Clay Target Club has an open invitation policy for all
parents to bring their child who is interested in target shooting on
the 2nd Sunday of any month to receive coaching.

and Ramsay Fish on 22/25 + 9/9 in a shoot off for 2nd.
The North East Zone Overall High Gun was sponsored by Thomas
Jewelers, Shepparton. A shoot off under lights was needed to find
the eventual winner- CRAIG STEVENSON from Mansfield on a
score of 148/150 + 11/12 from Phil Headon from Hay NSW also on
148/150, but + 10/12.
The North East Zone Junior High Gun winner was RYAN
ATKINS from Echuca on a score of 143/150. The North East Zone
Lady High Gun winner was local shooter MICHELLE FELMINGHAM on 144/150 (four times out of five now, not bad
Michelle). The North East Zone Veteran High Gun winner was
JIM KELLY from St James on 140/150.
Congratulations to the following shooters who qualified for The
North East Zone Team to represent the Zone at the Victorian
State Carnival in November - Steve Atkins, Craig Stevenson, Rob
Viney, Russell Felmingham and Tim Peacock.
Many thanks to all the Numurkah Shepparton Members whom
have work so hard on the grounds over the past months they were
magnificent.

Ron Daniells passed away 20 November 2002 after a severe
illness. Ron from 1969 became a keen member of the Chinchilla Club then after moving to Kallangur helped form that
club and later on the Caboolture Club.
He was a foundation member of each of these clubs where he
worked tirelessly and these clubs had Ron as President, VicePresident and Treasurer at various times. He would never
miss a working bee and always encouraged young shooters,
and coached for many years. Ron’s longstanding commitment
to Kallangur Club rewarded him by making him a life
member. The family’s home was always available for monthly,
meetings and for the club’s AGMs. Monthly shoots saw Ella,
his wife, and other lady members cooking the BBQs in the
kitchen.
Retiring to Roma he joined the club there for four years before
returning to the sunshine Coast where he rejoined friends at
Caboolture Club.

SWAN HILL CLAY TARGET CLUB
Bob McGillivray Memorial Shoot
On the 18th of May the Swan Hill Clay Target Club held the first
of three memorial shoots for one of our sports true gentlemen. This
event was widely advertised and 44 shooters attended to participate in the two championships offered. It was unfortunate that
wet weather across the state probably kept some shooters away.
However, the rain held off and despite some wind proved to be a
successful day.

At the presentations Judy McGillivray speaking for the
McGillivray family, who were in attendance, thanked all the shooters and organisers who made this event possible. Many thanks are
needed and have been given but special mention must go to the
Lake Boga community who got behind this event. A mention needs
to be made of the generosity of Steve Atkins who presented the OA
High Gun sash back to Judy McGillivray in appreciation of Bob.
Bob was originally a Fitzroy supporter and the High Gun Sashes
were in their colours. Ryan Atkins first possible was shot at a
Christmas shoot at Swan Hill and Bob sent a cutting of his effort
from the local paper to him. This gesture was not forgotten and
was remarked on by Steve. At the shoot there were quite a few of
Bob’s mates from Melbourne who made the journey out of respect
and hopefully we will see them again next year. Thanks to all

were nine shooters left to fight it out at 8am Sunday morning.

SEARCH FOR SHOTGUN
Joe Wheater — One of England’s best
The lady on the phone was from a local B&B. “I have a gentleman
here looking for a shotgun”, she said, “maybe you can help”.
The gentleman (in the true sense of the word) was Joe Wheater.
Joe was in Benalla (Victoria) to fly gliders. Two years ago at the
age of 82 he completed his first solo flight in a glider; he set a
British record for being the oldest person to do so. The previous
time Joe had been in Australia was to compete as a member of the
British shooting team at the 1956 Olympic Games.
Edward Fear (left) and Joe Wheater represented Great Britain at the
Melbourne Olympics in 1956.
Just some of the trophies that Joe Wheater won in just one
month in the early sixties.
I was living at Barham in 1956 and had first hand experience with
the Big Flood. As a youngster I remember seeing Newton Thomas
shoot at the Commonwealth Galah Championships at Kerang
around the 1950’s era. I remembered that an English Olympic
shooter had come to Barham with Newton Thomas after the
Olympics and shot ducks.
Was it the same Joe
Wheater,
the
man
regarded as possibly the
greatest English clay
target shooter of the
1900’s. It was!
Joe Wheater was born in
England in 1918. His
father was head gamekeeper on a 13,000-acre
estate. Joe describes him
as the best shotgun
shooter he has ever seen.
He, however, would not
shoot clay birds. When
asked why his stock
answer was “ When you
can eat `em I will shoot
`em” Young Joe graduated from a slingshot to a
single barrel 410 shotgun
at age 6. About two years
later he stepped up to a
double barrel 16 gauge.
Wheater having just won the European
French Champonships at Monza in 1959 For quite a while he was
with a score of 225/225.
only allowed to load both
Page 28
barrels for special occasions such as fox hunting. His father was a
tough taskmaster. Joe would be sent out with instructions to bring
home a set number of duck or rabbit etc. He was issued with the
same number of cartridges as the game to be brought home.
There was an order to the way that game was hunted. From
August 12th Duck and Snipe were shot. Partridge started from 1st
September and Pheasants 1st October. During these hunts some
Shooting for selection of England’s Down the Line team 1949 at London.
Won with 98 x 100. Gun used shows Monte Carlo type of stock on
the gun that Joe is looking for.

rabbits and hares were usually taken as well. Some foxes were
shot but care was taken that enough stayed around for hunting
with hounds. Hunting with hounds, or more specifically some of
the practices that sometimes occur, is not looked on favorably by
Joe. From February 1st gamekeepers were tasked with reducing
rabbit and hare numbers. In the 1935 cull the Wheater father and
son combination shot 11000 rabbits with shotguns.
Joe’s first experience with clay target shooting came in 1930.
Taken to a shoot by his father he borrowed a competitor’s gun and
won the event with it. He borrowed the same gun to shoot in competitions in 1939 and 1947 winning once and coming second in the
other.
Joe joined the RAF in 1937, wanting to train as a pilot. Rejected
for pilot training he instead trained as an armourer. He got
regular flights in aircraft testing armament systems. Joe kept his
shotgun with him on the base right through the war (and his dog
while based in England). 1943/44 was spent based in Iceland. In
the summer period waterfowl were there in huge numbers. If a
special event like a ship coming in or high Brass coming was
imminent; Joe would be issued with a case of 500 cartridges and
told to stock the larder. Service life was tough.
Post war Joe worked in the gun trade and bought a gun and sporting goods business in 1950. He expanded into other businesses
over the years.
From 1949 to 1972 Joe competed in major shotgun events in most
parts of the world. He was one of an elite group known as the
“Internationals”. Olympic Trench, Skeet and down the line were
all shot. Joe was a competitor in 4 Olympic Games, and was team
manager for the Irish team twice. This created a hazardous situation when they were billeted close to the Israeli team at Munich in
1972.
Live bird trap shooting was also done in France, Spain, Portugal,
Italy, Belgium, Egypt, Lebanon and Mexico. ‘The only shooting I
could make a bit of money’ on commented Joe. Right through this
period there was no money in sport, unlike today.
Joe tells of one competitor who was so disgusted with the trophy
he got for winning a major event that he threw it up in the air and
blasted it to pieces with his shotgun.
During Joe’s shooting career he won well in excess of 400 major
championships. These included:
Coronation Cup (high gun of Great Britain) 11 times
British Championship 8 times
German Championship 4 times
Belgian Championship 3 times
His best run was in the late 60’s when he won 9 shoots in succession in 7 countries.
In 1957 Joe established a record for break open shotguns which he
believes still stands. Using side by side game guns with double
triggers, he broke 1000 clays in 42 minutes and went on to break
1308 in one hour from 1454 shots. Eley had given the club 3000
cartridges to try to beat the previous record. As Joe had beaten the
Joe Wheater with a selection of his trophies.
August 2003
Page 29
old record so convincingly the club decided to present the unused
cartridges to him. However when they went to get the cartridges
they had been stolen. All Joe got for his effort was a place in the
record books.
Although he retired from competition shooting in 1972, Joe still
indulged in a little Game shooting and even found time for some
Salmon fishing. In 1988 he sold his business interests except for
the Gun shop, he bought a small farm and set up shooting ranges
and established a shooting school. He instructed men, woman and
children in most types of clay target shooting. In 1997 the sudden
death of Joe’s wife was a huge blow. Following this he closed the
school down. Joe retained the Gun shop until last year.
At Melbourne in 1956, Edward Fear and Joe were the members of
the British shotgun team. From previous encounters they knew,
and were friendly with, Newton Thomas, Fred Burns and Jock
Wilson, who were Australian Officials and well-known local shooters. At the completion of the games Joe and Edward were taken as
guests of Newton Thomas to the family farm north of Barham in
NSW.
Joe’s recollection is of a long drive from Melbourne in a fairly large
car. They took provisions with them and had a picnic lunch along
the way. 1956 was an extremely wet year, and large amounts of
this country were still covered by remnant floodwaters. The homestead was a considerable distance north of the Murray and had
barely escaped the recent floodwaters. Water had been lapping at
the doorstep.
Just prior to their arrival a sheep had been killed and butchered.
Breakfast the next morning consisted of lamb chops at an outdoor
barbecue. They were then introduced to galah shooting and the
habit of galahs of circling a downed comrade. One can only
imagine the holes that three of the world’s top shooters must have
cut in these wheeling mobs of galahs. Probably with ammo supplied by ICI. (Newton Thomas was an ICI professional).
In the evenings they valiantly defended the rice fields from attack
by ducks. These had bred in large numbers on the floodwaters. At
one stage a kangaroo was shot with a 243. This was skinned, probably for dog tucker. The .243 was also used to remove some white
cockatoos from their customary perches at the tops of tall trees.
Joe thinks their stay was about 5 days, but is very clear about the
fact that lots of ducks and galahs were shot.
Unfortunately, low finances forced Joe to sell his shotgun before
returning to England. Now all these years later one of Joe’s
remaining ambitions is to trace his old gun. He thinks the person
he sold it to was a farmer in Victoria. The sale took place at the
shooting range.

Psychological Aspects of Shooting
by Michael Kruger-Davis
ANXIETY AND FEAR
In my last article I explored the elements of mental toughness
which is defined as a set of beliefs about yourself, your work, your
sport and how they interact. Those behaviours and beliefs; competitiveness, confidence, control, commitment, composure, courage
and consistency are all skills that we can learn and adopt easily.
Why then don’t we all have them? Why aren’t we all mentally
tough all the time? What gets in the road of us being mentally
tough?
The simple answer is that we get in our own way. Our own self
defeating thoughts and behaviours are the roadblocks that undermine our ability to perform: fear, anger, anxiety, self-consciousness,
perfectionism, stubborness, lack of motivation, competitiveness,
distractions and persistence.
Fear is a mental response to a perceived danger or threat. It’s a
primitive response that allows us to fight or flee from a threat. The
fight/flight response was necessary when as cavemen we wandered the jungle and had the threat of sabre-toothed tigers lurking
behind every bush. We had to develop a system that allowed us to
either stay and fight or get the hell out of there. The threats have
now gone but as modern man we have retained the fight/flight
response when the majority of our fears are not life threatening at
all.
So what is so fearful about clay target shooting? Most readers will
probably have answered this question with “missing”. But is it? Is
it not the thought of missing?
The thought that you might miss is what causes self doubt and
leads to flinching, baulking, depressed self image, and feelings of
failure and poor self worth.
Whilst missing a target may seem bad at the time and may deny
you the opportunity of winning, your world as you know it will not
come to a screaming halt just because you missed a target. There
won’t be lightning bolts or terrible troubles that will beset you.
The only thing that will happen is that you may be too hard on
yourself: and the more you punish yourself the poorer you will
perform and the fear of missing will be greater next time. This will
happen because fear will lead to failure and the failure will lead to
the fear of failing again and this will manifest itself as anxiety
Anxiety and fear are not he same; anxiety is your response to fear
- apprehension, heightened vigilance, hyperventilating, dilated
pupils, sweating, racing pulse and running faster than a speeding
bear. (Farnbach, 2001) Farnbach defines anxiety as a state of
heightened arousal of the mind and body, associated with a belief
that the individual is at risk and that he/she has a diminished
capacity to control what is happening, or what might happen, to
him or her. Anxiety can range from mild to severe.
The effects of anxiety can be on the mind and/or the body and can
involve;
* The emotions or feelings - effects can be irritability, apprehension, uneasiness, fear, panic and terror.
* Mental or cognitive functioning; the mind can be racing, frozen,
disorganised, inability to attend, concentrate and remember.
* Physiological or body reactions - can be either increased muscle
tension and can be shaking, jerky movements and poor co-ordination, or over activity of the sympathic nervous system - can be
sweating, shaking, palpitations, etc.
* Behavioural patterns - including restlessness, talking excessively, irritable behaviour and self medicating with alcohol or
drugs.
The problem with fear and anxiety is that they have the ability to
interfere with what we like to do. Because humans do not like
being in an anxious state we often subconsciously do things to
avoid it. If we are shooting well and are starting to get nervous
August 2003
about shooting so many straight, then when we miss a target we
subconsciously feel relieved because now we do not have to worry
any more about missing a target. The same thing happens when
we freeze on the trigger; the fear of missing a target creates
anxiety that stops our ability to move our muscles and therefore
we can’t even pull the trigger. This then makes us more anxious
and so on and so on.
Where does this anxiety come from? When I ask shooters what are
you afraid of if you miss, they usually say that they are not scared
of missing, but subconsciously there are four types of irrational
beliefs that are interfering with their ability to shoot well and
enjoy themselves, and thereby developing anxiety and fear within
the shooter.
These irrational beliefs are:
1. I must act competently and correctly at all times.
2. I must be approved of and accepted by everybody.
3. Everyone must act competently and correctly.
4. Life must give me what I want.
In my next article I will explore how each of these irrational beliefs
effect our ability to perform by producing fear and anxiety and
what we can do.

Beretta competition shotguns:
The winning firearm of great champions
Excellence has hit the target for some time. But Beretta always wants to
push ahead. The new DT10 Trident L Over and Unders are born.
This model joins the exclusive members of the Beretta premium grade category
with the fruition of the aesthetic and technological evolution of the unbeatable
DT 10 Trident. Sharing with them the glory of the podium and of Olympic and
international medals, there are many other Beretta’s: like the 682 Gold and the
686E that has been made even more competitive by recent design refinements.
Whichever shooter, from the beginner to the Olympic champion, feels closer to
victory if he/she trusts the extraordinary precision of the most prized shotgun
in the world.
