This success I am sure will further assist in funding our sport into the future to earn further success at other Games and events. Congratulations again to all twelve of our members that attended. There is discussion however on the Commonwealth Games front that the disciplines of women’s skeet and women’s double trap may be removed due to the limited number of competing nations. I can assure members that I have already had a discussion with the President of Commonwealth Games Shooting expressing our association’s desire to include these sports in the Games, and for no shooting disciplines to be removed. Further to this I have also lobbied AISL to speak on our members’ behalf for these disciplines to continue. Members will be advised when further information comes available. I have been asked by several members why I published in the CTSN an article regarding shooter infringements and the discussion regarding going to the police if members are aware of an illegal activity. The reason is that it is no longer acceptable for members to go to a club, zone, State or national executive member and ‘download’ about an illegal activity that they have become aware of. Then turn around and think to themselves, “I’ve done my bit – it’s up to them now”. Wrong. Taking the soft option is no longer acceptable and members are responsible for their own action or inaction. In some instances, by not taking immediate action which could have resulted in stopping an offence taking place, a person may also commit either a civil or criminal offence. Same when a member believes on reasonable grounds that another member is suffering from a mental illness that may affect their ability to be in possession of a firearm(s). Mandatory reporting is now in place in all States and Territories for everyone that becomes aware of anyone that may cause danger to themselves or another with a firearm – the person MUST inform authorities of their belief and information and the last thing that anyone wants to see is someone hurt themselves or another. The last is something that is going to affect all of us at some time. The ACTA has an aging population that participate in our sport. Some members have come to an age at which they may no longer be safe to be in possession of firearms on a clay target range. If a committee is of this belief it is better to take the person aside and/or place competition restrictions on them rather than have an accidental discharge, and have injury or worse occur to another competitor, spectator or official. A restriction on one shooter has occurred in one State and as a result everyone breathed a sigh of relief. I can hear the carpark discussion now – however it is something that needs to be brought into the open and members (and committees) shouldn’t bury their heads in the sand. If one person is saved from injury (or worse) then this article is worth it. As I have said numerous times before – everyone’s a friend – until something goes wrong. That’s when people dive for cover and unless you risk mitigate at all times you may be left out in the cold. I hope everyone has had a great month competing or shooting! Stay safe!

My information suggests the team as a group were very close and the support of each of those members was an important factor in the success of the Team. To Laura Coles (Gold Medal Ladies Skeet), Laetisha Scanlan (Gold Medal, Ladies Trap) and Adam Vella (Gold Medal Men’s Trap) our congratulations on your Gold medal success. It is one of those moments where we as members can celebrate the success of our members on the International stage. Many Club members who shoot purely for enjoyment can relate to those who have reached one of the pinnacles of the sport. We congratulate all of those “member bodies” including Pistol and Rifle who also had success on the ranges in Glasgow. The National ISSF Championships will be conducted at the Newcastle Port Macquarie range in January 2015, so the focus of the ISSF community is now on selection for the Olympic team in Rio in 2016. Our athletes success at Commonwealth Games level is no guarantee of success in the future, however looking at all of the athletes who were selected to attend the Commonwealth Games and those who have represented at World Cups and other international events as well as those who were close to selection for the Commonwealth Games and those still coming through the system. The future looks bright for our sport at the 2016 Olympics. The National Ground is being continually improved with engineers retained to provide a report on drainage required on the ground to channel water from the ground in low lying areas to the current drainage channels. The report is expected in time for works to commence in 2015. The ground will also have added three ball traps to facilitate ball trap competition as well as training facilities for ISSF on the National ground. These traps should be in by years end. I can confirm that a Stakeholder Group will meet with NSW Firearms in Sydney on 17th September at the Sydney Police Centre. I will attend the meeting as the representative of the ACTA following an invitation from NSW Firearms. This meeting will provide feedback and recommendations to the branch whilst ultimately passing through to NSW Government Ministers. Having a voice in NSW is extremely important for the Association with the National Ground located in Wagga Wagga. We have in the past experienced some frustration at changes to legislation and clarification of legislation in what can be seen as very grey areas. The meeting will also allow first hand clarification of issues relevant to the industry, particularly in respect to ranges, licensing, arms fairs conditions etc. This will also give us a voice in relation to legislation on gun ownership and storage. Having a direct link will ensure our strong relationship with the NSW Firearms Branch will continue to develop for the betterment of the sport. Tony Turner Once again to our team, gold medallists and all involved, Congratulations.

Michael finished the Carnival shooting 342/350. NSW State Skeet Carnival AUGUST 2014 This year’s tournament saw its return to the National/NSW State grounds in Wagga Wagga. Participation was up by 20% over last year with a total of a 109 entries making this one of the largest NSW Skeet State titles on record. The tournament was again privileged by the presence of John Shima from the famed Bender Shima Shooting Clinic who generously provided his time to meet and greet the shooters and provide coaching tips over the 3 days of the tournament. Thank you to Wayne Peterson for arranging Johns visit and John for his generous offer and I hope you all had an opportunity to catch up with him. Michael Buttigieg from Victoria emerged the ultimate winner and concluded his successful tournament by also winning the tournament High Gun. Michael was also a member of both the two and three member winning teams. As is the case at this time of the year in Wagga we started our days a little on the cool side. NSWCTA would like to thank all their sponsors and everyone who assisted at the carnival: particularly our Shoot Marshall Sue Pim, IT Professional Frank Auditore, State Secretary Kathleen Dawe, Handicapper Alison Harwood, and NSW Handicapper Janene Schiller. Unfortunately our State trap mechanic Fred Rapley was admitted to hospital with Pneumonia the day before the tournament started. Fred has now been released from hospital and is continuing to recover. I would like to also thank those who helped fill Fred’s shoes during the tournament and the shooters for understanding the situation. Friday saw the start of the small gauge events, David O’Sullivan took out the 20 gauge, Matt Fallon from New Zealand duplicated his win from last year in 28 gauge event and Shane Bennett finished the day by winning the 410 title. 14 year old junior Aislin Jones also started to stamp her dominance in the junior division taking all three events along with the ladies and A grade in the 28 gauge event. Saturday saw a cool start to the Doubles with a frost on the ground. Ben Garraway won the event and was awarded the “Rooke Family Perpetual Trophy”. The Handicap went to Queenslander Glenn Walker. Sunday saw three 99’s shoot off for the 100 target NSW State Title, Matt Fallon, Lawrence Rodden and Michael Buttigieg. Aislan Jones continued her display of dominance by winning the Junior State Title, Junior High Gun, Ladies High Gun and A Grade High Gun. NSW Clay Target Association looks forward to seeing you all next year at the National shooting grounds in Wagga.

An enthusiastic group made up of Pat Mulqueeny, Bruce Dent, Graham Duncan, Jason Anderson and Allan Schirmer had been out the previous week and spent time tidying up the grounds so that everything would be in readiness on the day. They also set two interesting and challenging layouts which would test the experienced shooters but also give the less experienced shooter some encouragement. CZ Sporting Clays Team: L-R: Mick Munro, Peter Rae & Laurie Redfern Left: VP Jason Anderson with CZ Sporting Clays Champion Peter Rae Pat Brettschneider have a chat to shooters around the grounds. As usual, Angie Dent looked after the inner shooter at lunch and again for afternoon tea. Thanks Ang. The targets thrown and the layouts elicited quite a number of favourable remarks from visiting shooters. At a reasonably early hour Vice President, Jason Anderson called everyone to the club room to announce the results of the shoot. Ron Spedding from Parkes had sent over his specialised “springing teal” trap and as usual Laurie Redfern had his trap mounted in the back of his ute to throw an overhead target. The Central Zone Sporting Clays Champion for 2014 winning Overall and A Grade was Peter Rae 89/100. Peter Munro 87/100, one of several Wagga visitors shot well to win AA Grade from Max Kavanagh 85/100. Robert Yeo 88/100 ran second to Peter Rae in A Grade. Young Emilene Munro 86/110 won a shoot off against fellow field and game shooter, and equally as young, Tom McGrath 83/110. Well shot!

Rebecca Wilesmith 61/100 came over from Temora to win the Ladies’ section while Bruce Irvine 78/100 was the Veteran winner. Jason Anderson finished the presentation by thanking everyone and announcing the Central Zone Team as being Peter Rae, Mick Munro for the fourth consecutive year, and Laurie Redfern. Graham Duncan and Jason also loaned traps which were on standby in case of a break down. Thanks guys. Organisers were thrilled when six squads of visiting and local shooters were marshalled to cycle through the layouts. As well as being a championship the Central Zone Sporting Clays team to compete at the New South Wales state titles in 2015 was to be chosen following the event. As the scores came in and were posted on the board it was obvious that Peter Rae 24/25 and Peter Munro 23/25 were shooting very well although they were being hounded by a host of other competitors in the low 20’s. A shoot such as this requires excellent organisation and Clive Foster and Don Turner kept the office absolutely humming and shooters were prompt in scoring and refing making it a trouble free shoot. Trying clay target shooting for the first time Jordan Hoskinson, from Kikoira enjoyed his day and it was good to see Geoff and ••PProven roven Olympic/World Olympic/WorldCup/World Cup/World Championship medal winning quality.

Evan Stephenson VCTA North West Zone Coaching Day Mildura Clay Target Club – July 12 In line with the VCTA State Coaching program the North West Zone conducted a coaching day in July at the Mildura Clay Target Club. The Zone decided to run the coaching day in Mildura to give support to our far northwest section, as opposed to the normal central location for these days. Unfortunately the distance of Mildura from other Zone clubs affected the number of students who were able to attend. Although disapointing that only juniors from the Mildura surrounds took part, the clinic proved very successful. The 13 juniors who attended all agreed that the coaching day was a great success and that they had gained a great deal of information from the coaches. Coaches on the day: Gary Hayden, Jim Shepherd, Gary Pike, Craig Kelly, Colin Dunn and Larry Dimasi The Mildura Club would like to thank the VCTA State Coaching Director Gary Hayden who travelled from Noorat to assist on the day, Jim Shepherd (Level 3), Craig Kelly (NWZ Delegate), and Colin Dunn (NWZ President). Mildura would also like to thank our members for their work in the preparation and for their assistance during the day. Special thanks to Karen Barnes and Stacey Cullinan for catering. Just a reminder – Mildura is hosting the North West Zone Carnival on Saturday October 4th and a NWZ Continental shoot on Sunday the 5th. For more information see page 53 of this issue. We look forward to seeing you.

Th The h handicap section this stage however, it has been developed to allow secretaries to enter handicap changes from events. Those scores in the future will be dealt with by the program updating grades as required. The shooter’s book will be retained at this stage. The system has a “history”, meaning each change is recorded on the system identifying who has made the change and date and time. Requests for changes through the ACTA will still be required through the club or State Secretary as is the current process. State Secretaries will be able to see details of all state members. As with club secretaries they will only be able to access ACTA number, name, club & handicap. The data base will be linked through the new website currently under construction.

OCTOBER 2014 – AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET NEWS 11 Swan Hill Classic 2014 Sunday the 17th August saw the annual Swan Hill Classic with 37 shooters competing in difficult conditions. It was a cold windy Mallee day that got warm at times and then returned to cold with a strong lazy wind. We have had a lot of frosts lately with beautiful days following, however this was not the case on Sunday. The breeze made it a very challenging program. Of course the wind dropped as the second event finished.

WILLIAM SAUL MEMORIAL Kempsey CTC – 19th July Unfortunately the normally warm and sunny north coast weather let us down for the William Saul Memorial Shoot. It proved to be a cold and windy day. HG: Back L-R OA J Rossato, AA B Murphy, A J Dunstone, B G Horwood, C H Dunn Front L-R Jnr A Ballarino, Lad D Colls, Vets M McGill The shoot consisted of 100 targets Points Score off 15m. However the strong winds added an unintended element of continental to the shoot. Having said that though, all the shooters that I spoke to really enjoyed the conditions as it tested their concentration and shooting ability. As we are acutely aware, when awaiting our turn to shoot, we are required to stand still, make no noise that might distract the person shooting. But, because of the difficult conditions and the way the targets were flying, members of the squad I was shooting in were unable to suppress laughter and comments from time to time. I realise the purists out there will be horrified to read this but from my point of view the good natured comments added to the day and contributed to a very relaxed, pleasant and fun day’s shooting, and isn’t that what it is all about.

OCTOBER 2014 – AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET NEWS 15 Psychological Skills for Shooting Michael Kruger-Davis CONFIDENCE I am currently involved in an Organisational Psychology coaching course for leaders and managers. I have recently started a new job that is a serious promotion on what I have been doing in the past. I no longer have a clinical role and I am now more focused on developing leaders in schools and developing teacher capacity to cope with learning difficulties, behavioural disorders, disabilities, etc. The basics of sport psychology grew out of work in the organisation psychology field, so there is a logical extension from one area to the other. I have to give a presentation to the Southern Sports Academy next week and the focus will be on recognising and developing self-confidence. Over the years of writing these articles, I have examined the idea of mental toughness, which is defined as the set of behaviours and beliefs about yourself, your work, your sport, and how you interact. I outlined seven characteristics of mental toughness; being competitive, confident, in control, committed, composed, courageous and consistent. Within the workplace the characteristics of mental toughness are also important. In this article I want to revisit the concept of confidence. So what is self-confidence? Patrick Cohn from Peaksports defines selfconfidence as how firmly you believe in your ability to execute a physical skill or perform a task. Confidence, according to Cohn, comes from a baseline assessment of past performances, training, and preparation. As your competency or skill mastery grows, your confidence becomes proportionally stronger, which is strengthened more with successful training and quality practice. The following is a list of sources of self confidence. Rank the following from 1 to 10 (adding others if I have missed an important aspect of your own). • Past successes in your sport • An effective training program • Immediate performance • Positive comments from others • Supportive people in your life • Training or quality practice • Quality coaching • Optimistic coaching • Belief in your physical talent • Your own method or technique • The quality of your equipment • Level of your competition • Warm up routine • Comfort with the environment • Mental preparation • Performance review • Mental game coaching • Coping well under pressure • Good teamwork • Positive rapport with teammates • Positive rapport with coach • Trust in teammates • Sports diet, hydration, etc • Fitness level or conditioning • Other sports you have played • Weather • Game plan or strategies 16 AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS – OCTOBER 2014 On a separate piece of paper, write down the top 5 sources of confidence that are under your control. Focus on what you can control to boost your confidence. Remember that what people say about your performance is not under your control. Now that you are able to recognize the sources of confidence then it is also important to be able to recognize when confidence is dwindling. The biggest factor limiting confidence is self-doubt. I have written several articles over the years on self-doubt, and if readers need to revise, then go back over old issues or read “The Inner Game of Golf” by Tim Gallwey, which puts the whole idea of self doubt into perspective. Self-doubt is the opposite of self-confidence and it kills momentum, and stops athletes performing well because they are scared they will fail. Self-doubt can be developed by a set of unhealthy and irrational beliefs about yourself and life in general. These beliefs include the following: 1. Strict expectations: “I can’t make any mistakes if I want to win.” What happens here is, is that you try to hard and tense up. You become less fluid and your unable to move and swing the way you should. 2. Negative self labels: “I’m a poor finisher.” This focuses you mind on negative judgements about past performances and takes you away from the here and now. 3. Over-generalisations: “I don’t do well on this course.” Again you are focusing on the past and ignoring what you should be focusing on, which is the present. 4. Perfectionism: I need to be perfect. This is impossible and will lead to the following behaviours that will further undermine your self-confidence: • Setting unrealistic goals and strict expectations • Dwelling on shortcomings and failures • Worrying about past mistakes • Being too self-critical • Comparing yourself to others • Overanalyzing your performance • Viewing your performance as either good or bad • Measuring your self worth against your sporting success • Focusing on future gains instead of playing in the present. Now that you can recognize the sources of self-confidence and you can identify those irrational beliefs that get in the way and produce self-doubt. There are five steps to seeing yourself as a winner: Firstly, write down three positive self-labels that positively describe you in your sport, which you can truly believe. Secondly, post these descriptions on your mirror, fridge, desktop, etc where you can see them every day. Thirdly, Strive to identify and discard any negative labels that others have given you or that you have made up yourself. Write them on a piece of paper, crumple the paper, and throw it away with authority. Next, When speaking to others about yourself or your abilities, use the positive self labels you have formulated with confidence. (Avoid deliberate outward displays of cockiness because people who lack confidence will view it as arrogance.) Finally Goal: feel cocky on the inside while appearing humble on the inside. By using the previous five steps, identifying the sources of your confidence and recognizing the negatives that get in the way, you will be on the way to being more self-confident which is an important aspect of mental toughness.

Kaye Rehbein SWAN HILL CLAY TARGET CLUB Side by Side Challenge 2014 On Sunday the 20th of July the Swan Hill Clay Target Club hosted its monthly shoot comprising of a 50 target side by side challenge made up of 25 double barrel and 25 points score targets. This was shot off 16 metres. At the same time we also conducted a competition for those shooters without side by sides. The second event on the program consisted of 25 points score targets. Twenty shooters battled it out on a lovely Mallee winters day. Event One Side by Side Challenge: 1st P Akkermans 96/100, 2nd A Costa 95/100, 3rd T Wilkinson 91/108, 4th R McKinnon 84/108; Under & Over: 1st L Wooley 96/100, 2nd K Siciliano 89/100.

Stephen Bates Left: Back – PS: Wayne Upton, Les Comensoli, Geoff Manuel, Frank Massara, & Tony Siciliano; Front M Cox & L Wooley OCTOBER 2014 – AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET NEWS 19 Ellis only needed to shoot 74 targets to win the National Double Barrel. And even the median figure of 200 was not exceeded for another five years until 1980 when the infamous “malfunctioning factory shell” debacle involving Doug Smith and Russell Mark ended at 349. The moral of the story? Knee jerk reactions hardly ever shine under the light of hindsight! OCTOBER 2014 Don’t forget the weather Cuzzog’ss Ramblin In my last couple of columns I have elaborated upon a number of the things that occurred at this year’s Trap Nationals These included the practical problems we have encountered with the Double Barrel shoot-off over the last few years. As I am deeply concerned that the National Executive may eventually come up with a solution that hindsight might not necessarily view as appropriate or astute (read Handicap Event), I offered my thoughts on what I thought was the best way to move forward with this pivotal event without destroying the historical integrity of it. This month I want to follow that up from other perspectives. Crystal Ball For a start I am not absolutely convinced that the “problem” is here to stay. Just because we have seen this event run to around a thousand targets for each of the last three years does not necessarily mean that this will now automatically become the norm. Admittedly we now have a handful of people who look as though they may be able to do this from time to time, but there is no guarantee that all the necessary pieces of the puzzle will continue to defy the odds and all fall into place at the same particular time and point in space. The fact that Murphy’s Law has been thwarted thus far does not mean that the rubber band currently restraining it will continue to stretch forever. Lessons from history I’m sure that some famous ancient philosopher is credited with devising the correct answer to the age old question of “Why do we study history?” And that answer is “To try to prevent us from repeating our mistakes.” The history of ACTA trapshooting is not exempt from this concept. Prior to 1974 the National Double Barrel had ticked along with an average annual winning score of somewhere around 200 and a record high of 370. However that year saw a unique clash of the Titans when the battle between Warren Charlton and Vin Ryan was not settled until 620 targets had been shot. This was possibly due to the fact that both men were by then firmly established as “top shots” and thus calm under pressure and that both had previously won this most prestigious event. Twice before in Warren’s case. 20 Vin Ryan and Warren Charlton – Not just two absolute legends of our sport, but also two of the nicest blokes you’d ever want to meet Timing is everything Following this an outcry ensued that Double Barrel shooting had become too easy and the timing of this could not possibly have been worse. Australia had been allocated the World Moving Targets Championships in 1973 and so Olympic Trap shooting had recently become the flavour of the month. A vocal minority were already advocating the demise of Trap Shooting in its historically established form and converting it into a breeding ground for Olympic Trapshooting by merging the rules. Where angels fear to tread This eventually culminated in our rules going into a gradual downward spiral and gravitating towards ISSF standards, a travesty which was not corrected until relatively recent times. However the very next year, in 1975, Jimmy As the National Shoot Marshall, I have obviously had an excellent vantage point for scrutinising this shoot-off over the last few years. And I can assure you that each and every one of the eventual finalists has gotten away with some very scratchy seconds on each occasion. A few extremely minor dimensional shifts could have easily seen us wind up each of these events a long way earlier than we eventually did. And we haven’t had a windy day thrown into the mix lately! It would only need some blustery conditions on qualifying day and we could easily get a situation where none of the “usual suspects” even make the cut and the winner could still have some handy loose change left out of his first case of shells. A similar solution? Skeet shoot-offs have run into similar problems in recent times and we have had to devise ways to attain more expedient outcomes in certain circumstances. However we have been fortunate in that common sense has prevailed and the implementation of format changes has not been regimentally mandated. A degree of flexibility has been allowed to not just the administrators but even to the competitors themselves who can initiate format changes. This can even occur mid round, by mutual consent if they believe that such changes are not only in everyone’s best interests, but also do not detrimentally affect either the equity of that particular event or the historical integrity of the sport in general. Don’t forget equity In this way we avoid the undesirable situation where a shoot-off containing two seasoned AA shooters and a B grader having a “day out” are forced to shoot doubles at 3, 4 & 5, which would effectively see the grade shooter “hung out to dry”. I remain hopeful that any similar format changes that our sport’s governing body may envisage for our premier event are implemented in a similarly common sense oriented and flexible manner so that our heritage incurs the least amount of damage in order to attain the required practical objectives. I have always said that the job of the Executive is to provide the Tournament Director and the Shoot Marshall with the necessary “tools” In a scathing report that he wrote in the CTSN, then ACTA and then allow them to use those tools Executive Director Noel Southey understatedly described Russell when and as they may be required Mark as “perplexed” as Doug Smith is delivered the bad news, for each individual situation on its effectively ending one of the greatest Double Barrel shoot-offs merits. of all time AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS – OCTOBER 2014 Depends how you look at it Looking at it from a different perspective, is the “problem” really a problem? Personally I don’t think so. Quite the opposite actually! Clearly at your local Gun Club on a Saturday afternoon an extended Double Barrel shoot-off can have numerous disadvantages, including the financial wellbeing of the club. Creative and expedient solutions are clearly appropriate here. But does the National Double Barrel really need to be finalised on day one before a second slab of bullets is torn open? Free entertainment What’s the matter with the shoot-off spilling over to the second or even a third day? Provided Shoot Management has the necessary “tools” to precipitate a result before dark on the third day, I see it as a wonderful annual opportunity. A chance for the “Big Guns” to not only show how good Jimmy Ellis won the they really are, but National Double Barrel to also provide us twice. In 1970 local hero John Harris pushed with a fantastic him to a new record spectacle in the score of 370, but in process. And for 1975 he only needed to those who disagree shoot 74 targets to win the event.” I say “Don’t Look Ethel”. Go and play cards or go shopping or just plain “go away” and stop raining on our parade. Nationals Badges Most years a special badge is struck to commemorate each of the Trap and Skeet Nationals. Recently I was handballed a formidable mission. Locate one particular badge from bygone days. The Skeet Nationals were held in Perth in 1987 for the first time and that’s the missing item. If anyone out there has one they can spare or can offer any helpful advice, I would be most appreciative. Please phone me on 0418-516395. This Month’s Trivia Question Since Jimmy Ellis did it in 1975 only one other person has managed to win the National Double Barrel with a score of less than 100 and that was Larry Dimasi in 1982. Ironically the Runner-Up on both these occasions was the same person. However in between these two inauspicious performances, he also managed to win the event. Name this very famous and colourful character. E-mail your answers to cuzzo@ a1.com.au before the 15th of October and the first correct one drawn will get a complimentary entry to one National Championship event of your choice during the next twelve months. Third Round of FIMA Handicap Shield BEGA GUN CLUB – AUGUST 2014 The third round of the Fimac Engineering Handicap Shield was the feature event of the August shoot at Bega Gun Club. Twenty-five hardy souls turned up on a beautiful, crisp, sunny morning, numbers being slightly down due to the two day event at Cowra, which a number of members traditionally attend. The program opened with a 25 target Double Barrel eventt shot from a common mark. B Graders, Craig Field and Robert Taylor shot possible as did A Grader, John Siede. After a brief shoot off, Craig took B Grade, 31/31 with Robert on 30/31, runner up. John Siede took A Grade, second went to Kevin Hurt with a score of 23/25. In AA grade, Fimac o ssponsor, Shane Platts shot 224/25 to win from Alf Niesar, 223/25. C grade saw places being decided by shoot-off b with Mick Diss taking the Fimac round 3 winner, 2nd w 25T DB Robert Taylo winner’s trophy 26/28 from w r JJeff Crowe on 25/28. The main event, the Fimac Engineering Handicap Shield, T Fimac Shield sponsor, round three, followed and again the scores were close. Robert winner AA DB, 2nd AA PS Taylor and Kevin Hurt both shot possibles and then took a Shane Platts further eight targets before Robert was successful, winning the round with a 33/33 to Kevin’s 32/33. New Club member and C grade shooter Gary Way took out third place with a score of 24/25. The usual fantastic lunch was followed by the final event, a 50 target points score. Cooma shooter and regular visitor, Steve McIntyre, scored 144/150 to win AA Grade, with Shane Platts featuring again in second, with a score of 137/150. In A Grade, veteran, John Siede scored 140/150 to win from Gary Vickers Alf Niesar presents HG, A Grade DB, A Grade PS, on 136/150. Keith Pearce displayed John Siede with his award a high level of skill to take the prize in B Grade 143/150. Bert Deacon collected second place with a total of 138/150. Once again, in C grade, Mick Diss and Jeff Crowe competed for the prize, with Jeff reversing the event one result, winning 126/150 to Mick’s 125/150. With President Phil in Cowra, Shane Platts and Alf Niesar did the honours, thanking all and presenting the prizes. Robert Taylor seemed very pleased to receive the shield for the Fimac C Grade Gary Way 3rd in Shoot raffle winner, Fimac Round 3 George Adamopoulos and much applause was forthcoming when super oldie, John Siede was announced as High Gun with a score of 188 for the day. George Adamopoulos, graciously accepted the meat tray as winner of the raffle draw, leaving the money to accumulate for the next shoot.

Fairly uncomfortable for the shooters with quite heavy rain at times, but with a fire outside, the clubhouse heated, and plenty of hot food and drink available, there were very few complaints if any about the shoot. The first event was a Night ten target Points Score Cash Divide, and two shooters managed a full 30/30 score, being Bill Simpson (Mathoura) and Euroa member Laurie Fitzpatrick, and they both shared the 1st place cash. by Bill Simpson on a score of 59/75, and Mathoura member Tom McClusky, having scored a 51/75, put out his hand for the 1st in C Grade trophy. Th The last event was again a Victorian North East Zone Championship, a 15 1 pair, Night Double Rise, and by this time the rain was reasonably he heavy and constant, so good scores were going to be impossible, but to their credit all shooters competed, and after it was shot, Les Comensoli a Cohuna member led the way with a 21/30 result, and that earned him the Overall Winners Sash, and the 1st place in A Grade trophy, and in these conditions, well shot Les! Bill Simpson again put his hand up for 1st in B Grade, having scored an 111/30 result, and local member Peter M McClusky shot a very credible score of 118/30, and that earned him 1st place in C Grade. Event Two, a 25 target, Victorian North trick A real pity about the weather, but at the East Zone, Night, Points Score ChampionAbove: Laurie Fitzpa OA PS pr presentations all shooters declared they ship, and without the need for a shoot off DR li OA ha had enjoyed the night’s competition, all places were decided, shot in the rain, Right: Les Comenso an and with the shoot running smoothly, Laurie Fitzpatrick’s score of 71/75 was even in the bad conditions, the presentations were finished at the early unmatched by any other shooter, earning him the Overall Winners time of 10.30pm, giving travellers an easy drive home. Sash, and 1st place in A Grade. Well shot Laurie! B Grade 1st was won Woodhouse Wins First Tumut Championship Wagga Wagga’s Ben Woodhouse has been a regular competitor at Tumut Clay Target Club, the last three as a AA grader, but in all that time he has never been an overall winner. That was until the Tumut August shoot when he finally won through, taking the Double Barrel Championship after he defeated fellow club member Rob Yeo. Woodhouse & Yeo were the only shooters to return a perfect 50/50 in the qualifying round. L-R: Phil Green OA Cont, Robert Yeo HG & Ben Woodhouse OA DB Woodhouse and Yeo along with Tumut secretary Phil Green were the best in the continental championship, all returning 49/50. The chance to make it two overall’s on the same day for Woodhouse disappeared with Green outlasting the Wagga Wagga pair in the shoot off. As part of Tumut’s prize pool, there is always a trophy for the best unplaced Veteran, Lady & Junior if there are 3 or more competitors. August was no exception, with all sections in operation. First time Junior shooter Ben Lonergan took the Junior Trophy. Ben was recently introduced into clay target shooting as part of the Tumut Clubs “Come and Try Clay Target Shooting Day” – a great outcome for Ben and Tumut Club. Seasoned Veteran Tom Sutton was the best of the unplaced Veterans on 84/100 after a number of his fellow veterans featured in the winner’s circle during the afternoon. Junior Lady shooter Amy Smith of Boorowa topped the honours in the “best unplaced awards” at 88/100. Amy was especially pleased with her win in so much as beating fellow club veteran Tom Sutton - well done Amy, we’re sure you will give Tom more hidings in the future. L-R: Ben Lonergan Juniors, Amy Smith Ladies & Tom Sutton Veterans Tumut is conducting the 2014 Snowy Mountains Trap Carnival on 11 & 12 October, with Overall’s 1st, 2nd & 3rd in all grades, a handicap with prizes 1st – 10th as well as lots of section awards and High Guns – see advert elsewhere in CTSN.

Team members representing Queensland in Skeet and Trap, including Women’s and Junior Trap teams, all shot qualifying scores to represent our State at the 2015 Nationals. Well done to all participants and thanks to the Brisbane Gun Club for hosting this event again this year. Coaching Coaching sessions across all four Zones continue to be extremely well attended with those held in recent months being no exception. 35 shooters arrived at Silkwood Clay Target Club over the weekend of 21st & 22nd June to pick up some DTL tips from our State coaching team of Richard Morrison, Daryl Stevens and Bill Allan. Well done to the Silkwood members for conducting this session and the coaches would like to thank Peter and Leanna Robson for their kind hospitality during their visit. On 19th July the Gold Coast Clay Target Club also played host to 13 shooters interested in improving their skeet scores. State skeet coach Laurie Sceresini enlisted the help of respected veteran Neal Dimmick to assist both new and experienced shooters. We thank all our coaches for their time and willingness to share their knowledge to assist other shooters and their services are greatly appreciated by all those attending coaching clinics. Junior Achievements There is a growing list of junior shooters getting our attention in the results of many major shoots throughout Queensland. Condamine’s Steph Pile top scored in the Women’s team at the State ISSF Carnival recently with Erin Stewart from Kingaroy also making 1st reserve. At our State Trap Carnival in May two of the four grade High Gun winners were also juniors with Melbourne’s Mitchell Iles winning AA and Antony Ballarino from Port Denison taking A grade. At the same carnival Springsure’s Tori Powell shot well to qualify for the Ladies postal team and Jackson Willmann from the Gold Coast not only made the State open team but also won the open team High Gun.

After all the students had shot at twenty targets, in single barrel mode, and without the need for a shoot off, Bendigo Senior Secondary College lass, Laura Woolley, had missed just one target, and as no other student could match that result, Laura’s 19/20 made her the Overall winner on the day.

Shooters attended from far and wide including Hamilton, Mildura, Robinvale, Bendigo, Morwell, Harcourt, Traralgon, Westmere, Streathham, Lascelles, Moulamein, Swan Hill, and Cohuna.

The first event was the Side by Side Double Barrel Championship. Sponsored by Wayne Clapham Firearms and Repairs of Kerang.

Where a High Gun over the 2 side by side championships will be awarded. Trevor Wilkinson Two Championships shot at Echuca For their August shoot, the Echuca Clay Target Club held two large target number Championships, one a 20 pair Double Rise, the other a 100 target Points Score, and that total of 140 targets even on a cold miserable day that was threatening to rain, attracted seven full squads of shooters, making it a very successful shoot. The other attractions were excellent trophies, and numerous traps, to keep the shoot running smoothly, and finish at an early time in these winter time short days. The 20 Pair Double Rise Championship was first on the agenda, and at the completion all places were decided without the need for any shoot off’s, the Overall Winner was Echuca’s, Craig Fitzgerald, who on this cold, windy, dull day, managed to let just two targets escape, a magnificent result on such a day, Craig also collected the 1st place in AA grade trophy with his 38/40 score. 2nd in AA grade was taken by another Echuca member, Patrick Callandro, who shot a 35/40 score. A grade 1st was Tony Plum 31/40, A 2nd Peter Sing 30/40, B grade 1st was won by the only B grade shooter present, Echuca’s Andrew Callandro 28/40, C grade 1st Carl O’Brien 28/40, and C grade 2nd was Joshua Knight on a 25/40 result.

Shane McCulloch scored a 275/300 to earn the 1st in A grade trophy, Darren Knight his 273 earning him 2nd in A grade, B grade 1st was A Callandro, C grade 1st was colSteve Traill OA PS lected by C Repacholi on a 246/300 result, C grade 2nd was C O’Brien with a score of 244/300, both these C grade scores are very good considering the days conditions.

A well run shoot with a lot of very enthusiastic competitors, all performing well on the day, and even the presentations were all finished by the early time of 4.30pm, giving travellers the chance to arrive home at a respectable time.
