It is with great sadness that I have to report on the passing of well
known member and former ACTA major sponsor Mr. George
Sckaf, at the young age of 55 years. His death follows a long
illness. George had been hospitalised since August 2011. George
through his company G&N Gun supplies was a very generous
and undemanding sponsor, he just loved his shooting. He will be
remembered as one of the great personalities in our sport, and
also as the most persistent ticket seller of all time. Not many said
no to George. Personally I could not thank George enough for the
support he gave to my home club, Roma during its development and during major events
conducted at the club. George was a great supporter of many clubs.“Pappa”, we will all
miss you greatly. I extend our condolences to George’s wife Mirna and his three children,
Nicholas, Ashley and Sarah.
The ISSF Nationals have just been completed at Newcastle and the club must be
congratulated on their facility and hospitality. Generally I do not support the duplication
of expensive facilities that are in reality rarely used to their capacity, however it is also
important for the Association to have a choice of venues to host its various titles. I
congratulate Newcastle on the facility it has developed and for the extra choice it now offers
to the Association. Congratulations to all the winners and a special mention of the excellent
score shot by Clive Barton 147/150 in the Mens Skeet.
The ACTA would like to see as many members as possible attend the DTL Nationals at
Wagga during the week the 24th to the 31st of March. The new prize payout format allows
newcomers to “have a go” for a greatly reduced nomination. With extra powered sites
now available, and a new ablutions block at the western end camping is now becoming the
accommodation of choice for many and no doubt also helps keep the cost down. Being able
to camp and with the reduced noms it is now cheaper to attend the Nationals per day than
most Annual shoots. Please avail yourselves of the facilities as much as possible, and if you
intend to camp please contact the office.
The World DTL Championships are being held later this year in Wales, and teams in
Open, Womens, Veterans and Junior sections will be selected in March at the DTL
Nationals. Australians, Darren Nicholls and Jack Collicoat are the reigning Open and
Junior World Champions respectively, and hopefully they will be able to attend and defend
their titles. The teams selected at the Nationals are very well funded and uniformed for
the event. I cannot recommend to you enough the experience of attending such an event as
either a Team member or as an individual competitor.
The Association auditors are currently in the office carrying out the Annual Audit.
Early indications are that the Association has again made a sizeable profit which will allow
the completion of more projects. The website is currently being upgraded and some things
may be a little confused for a
while. New templates are being

Executive Officer’s Report
We are fast approaching what is the biggest,
in terms of shooter numbers, of our National
events, the Trap Championships. This
event is to be conducted from the 26th of
March to the 1st of April. Most members
are well aware of the changes made to the
competition in terms of cost and target
numbers. These changes result from a
decision made by the Executive which are
designed to encourage more shooters to
attend, and to increase participation in, the National Championships.
The reduction in entry fee, based on removal of the prize pool, was
introduced to reduce the cost for the many shooters to whom the prize
money is not relevant or their reason for attending. This has reduced
the cost of most events by $25.00. The reduction to 50 target events
also provides the opportunity for a greater range of shooters to
compete. National Championships are an opportunity for shooters
from all over Australia to meet, compete and enjoy the company of
many people who they may only see on rare occasions. While I believe

that we need continuity and consistency of format to allow members
to plan their future shooting programs we do need to be prepared to
make changes to improve events and to try new initiatives to improve
things for shooters. The effectiveness of these changes will be seen in
attendance numbers over the next few years. This is the opportunity
for shooters to show their support for the changes.
Dates have been listed on the ACTA website for the Junior Camps
to be conducted this year. Camps are conducted during the School
Holidays of the major States where possible and where they
coincide. The camps will be for 12 shooters, both male and female,
and preference for attendance will be given to the highest grades.
The ACTA will request nominations from State bodies to assist in
selection of the attendees. Content of training will include shooting
skills, sports psychology, nutrition and fitness, and time management.
The ACTA covers the cost of staff, accommodation, food and
ammunition. This is one of the ways the Association works to improve
the standards of shooting and to prepare young shooters for future
national and International competition.
I look forward to seeing those of you who attend the National
Championships and wish you all the best for your shooting in 2012.
Chris Gibson
ACTA Insurance Coverage
As members are aware the ACTA has a Broad range of insurance coverage
for members and Clubs. This article will hopefully provide a better
understanding of what is and isn’t covered by our policies. Listed below
are the policies which are held and effect Clubs and members.
Public Liability
The public and injury coverage covers members, voluntary workers,
Coaches and Instructors, temporary members and visitors attending
clubs and authorized activities and approved ACTA shoots.
Coverage does not include liability for injury or damage to drivers, passengers or motor vehicles being driven or operated if the driver does not
hold a licence to operate that vehicle or they are not seated within the
vehicle and wearing a seat belt or protective helmet on a motorcycle.
Corporate Travel
State and national Team Members are covered with a range of benefits
in the event of accident when on approved travel representing the ACTA
or the State to National events.
Group Personal/Voluntary Worker Personal
Accident
This covers Members, voluntary workers, coaches and range staff whilst
participating in events arranged by the insured (ACTA and Clubs and
State Associations) including shooting, travelling to and from activities,
and voluntary work for the clubs or associations.
It should be noted that there is an excess on some of these policies
similar to your own insurance policies.
In the event of an incident which may result in a claim the club is to
submit an incident report while the information is fresh in the mind.
Details are on the ACTA website.
A question has been raised about liability in canteens with food
poisoning. If the catering is outsourced the caterer should provide their
own insurance. If the Club is catering they are covered but they would
need to show that they the required Food preparation hygiene standards
when making a claim.
As is to be expected these explanations of policies are not complete
as the policies are detailed and cover a range of areas. Any specific
questions should be raised with the ACTA for further clarification.
ZZ Sydney Australia
NATIONAL ZZ TITLES
10th & 11th December 2011, Bendigo CTC
After a long 9 hour trip down from Sydney with the ZZ
trailer in tow, Neale Guy & Vince arrived at Bendigo CTC
with the automatic ZZ traps for the National ZZ titles.
Saturday started off in fine weather
and it took most of the morning to
set up. Thanks to the 10 shooters that
came along to have a small comp &
shoot practice. Also Bobby Lambevski,
Anthony Panetta, Bryan Rafferty for
helping with the clean up of the targets
to be ready for Sunday morning.
After practice on Sunday we had 25
shooters on the board. 25 going into
the Calcutta, 11 taking up the normal
sweeps & 14 taking up high roller
optional super sweeps. Auctioneer
for the Calcutta was
Norm Basile who did
OA John Tannou
a great job making
the Calcutta exciting
and raising over
$2460. It was a beautiful day, everybody
attending had a good
time, with the targets
being shot from 27m
for the National Title
and the fence being
set at 21m. Due to
2nd Dave Demasi OA winner
a slight breeze the
John Tannous & 3rd Vince Gatt
targets weren’t fast
but tricky.
1st Sweeps: 10/10 competitors in the normal sweeps as well the high
roller sweep
Sunday: 1st sweeps 10/10 Dave Demasi, Lee Fitzgerald, John Tannous
& high roller sweeps. 2nd sweeps 10/10 Craig Fitzgerald & high roller
sweeps. 3rd sweeps 10/10 Vince Gatt, Vinny Vigliaturo, Andrew Brady &
high roller sweep. 4th sweeps 10/10 Louie Presani & high roller sweeps.
O/A National ZZ Champion John Tannous 21/25 +
In practice Craig struggled. It looked like he would be lucky to get a
sweep let alone O/A. He didn’t even bet on himself in the Super Sweep
but brother Lee had faith in him and took it up to get lucky, good come
back Craig, well shot.
O/A 2nd place Dave Demasi 21/25 +
Thanks to Bendigo President, Glenn Woodhatch and his wife Jan for
the canteen on Saturday & Sunday. Also Rodd Flower for his organising
and support. Thank you also to John & Mick Tannous, Louie Presani,
Vinny Vigliature, Robert DeMaria, David Calandro, Craig Fitzgerald &
wife Deb + Boy, a special thanks to Neale Guy for his great help over the
weekend and all who attended.
Till next time, Vince & Shelly

ECHUCA CLAY TARGET CLUB
TUESDAY DECEMBER 27 2011
Successful Rich River Classic
T
wenty full squads of six shooters arrived at the Echuca Clay Target Club on Tuesday
the 27th of December to compete at the Rich River Classic Annual Shoot. That
number being over 20% higher than the previous two years, was very pleasing for the
club’s committee, after the amount of effort everyone had put in, buying excellent trophies,
preparing the traps, and grounds, to picture perfect condition, and for the ladies, planning
and preparing for a day of varied and well presented food and drinks for the shooters, and
their family members.
If each person that attended had
wished for good weather for the
shoot they could not have received
a better result, with a temperature
of 27 degrees, a clear blue sky,
and the lightest of breezes for the
entire day, shooting conditions
could not have been better.
Echuca shooters faired well, with
Drew Healey taking out first place
in the 25 Target Classic Handicap,
putting his hand out for the
$500 cash trophy and 1st place
Sash, and Craig Fitzgerald after
a lengthy shoot off, mainly with
Hay shooter, Brian Doyle, Brian
missing his 90th target, and when
Craig shot his 90th, he became the
Overall Winner of the 25 Target
Classic Double Barrel Championship. Craig, who survived the
double barrel shoot off that started
with a full five squads of shooters
having shot the 25 targets, insisted
on having his photo taken with
his new member of the family, his
Labrador pup “Nugget”. Werribee
member, William (Bill) Preston,
had a day out, winning the Overall
Drew Healey, Handicap winner
Bill Preston, PS Overall
Winners Sash in the 25 Target
Classic Points Score Championship on an end score of 84/84,
and also winning the prestigious
Overall High Gun Sash, well shot
Bill!
Possibly setting at least an Australian record, winning the second
event, the 25 Target Classic Single
Barrel Championship, was Hay
Member, Mitchell Iles-Crevatin,
Mitchell, who is not only a AA
grade shooter, but also is only
twelve years old, survived the
shoot off after being pushed by
Bill Preston who dropped his 38th
target. Mitchell won the Overall
Winners Sash and 1st place in
AA Grade on a score of 38/38.
Congratulations, I am sure from
everyone at the shoot, on your
mighty effort Mitchell!

Willett.

To ensure a good number of
people at the presentations, and to
let them start travelling at an early
time, the presentations for the first
three events were done before the
shoot off started for the Double
Barrel Championship. Even so
the entire shoot and all presentations were finalised shortly after
7.00pm. A very smooth running
and well organised shoot, that
considering the weather as well,
virtually all who attended would
have to enjoyed, and the Echuca
Committee thank all for their help
throughout the day, also a big
thank you to all the sponsors of
the shoot.

O
NCE AGAIN THE HOTLY CONTESTED two
and a half day Geraldton Crayfish Carnival was
upon us.
This year was the 30th year anniversary of our ever
growing shoot. This event has grown from strength to strength over the
last 30 years to become one of the most prestigious events on the annual
shoots calendar. This is largely due to the work put in by
past and present members and of course the sponsorship
we receive from the local and non local people and companies, some of which have been sponsoring this events for
as long as the shoot has been running.
There were some great prizes with 2 shotguns on offer
and with $1000 cold hard cash for
each overall event
winner. There was
sure to be some great
competitive shooting
over the 3 days with
a total prize pool of
$31,000.00
To all of our sponsors, the Club would
sincerely like to thank
you and your continued sponsorship in the
future.
This year we had a
record number of
shooters that travelled
interstate 73 in all and
one shooter from New
Zealand. Many thanks
for your patronage.
This year we ended
up being just shy of 200
competitors. A great
effort.

that a lot of these targets were shot under lights. Well done Jack.

Friday came and with
the weather being fine
and with two events on

happening as all the interstate travellers were filling up on the seafood

sluggishly when full of prawns and lobster.

With that all the shooting over that was it for the
Saturday’s program. We could now get onto the serious business of the
traditional Saturday Night Barbeque and Calcutta auction.
A big thank you to Tiny Holly our auctioneer who does an outstanding
job and after just a few minutes all the shooters learnt to refrain from
waving and the Italians stopped talking with their hands.
After it was all said and done there was $ 20,000.00 in the prize pool
which was going to make it an interesting event for the final event on
the 2011 program.
A great night of food and fun was had by all and with percentages
dropping with every beer the chances of the Calcutta were getting better
for some and worse for others.
Only Sunday will tell.
Sunday dawned and team Italy were there on breakfast duties bright
and early.
The weather was going to hold and for the seasoned travellers they knew
we were going to get away with it for another year. Believe it or not our
little town can put on some big wind.
Event 7 45 Target Medley sponsored by City of Greater Geraldton, Pages
Autos, Horrie & Steves Slipways and Fleet Hydraulics. Overall winner
was William Woodward from Victoria. A good win for Billy who has
become a bit of a regular to Geraldton. Well done Billy. Wooden spoon
winner was again Travis Adams from Albany. Two spoons at this shoot is
a great effort by any means, but nowhere near Craig “Chippa” Bentley’s
effort of five. AA 1st Joe Gilbert, 2nd Brian Manns, 3rd Geoff Faulkes:

Manns all the way from the East side of the Darling (Cobar).
Bryan came runner
up in the High Gun

for either the coveted
High Gun badge or
possibly another large
spoon. Bryan held his
nerve and produced
the goods to take it
outright with a score
of 306/310.
Well done Kermit!!!

With all the formalities
out of the way it was
off to the barby and
bar for some tasty swordfish and a few light refreshments.
All in all it was a great carnival where the atmosphere was great and the
targets very shootable.
We would like to thank all that attended and hope to see you and more
next year.
Before I sign off I would like to make a few special mentions.
To our team of special ladies who look after the catering throughout the
weekend. They do an excellent job and are to be highly congratulated.
To our team of devoted members and Committee who put in a mighty
effort to keep it all going throughout the weekend.
To Greg Wheeler and Renae Birgin for helping out Justin in the bar
throughout the weekend. Greg who comes to our shoot regularly and
doesn’t even shoot, he comes for the good times and mainly to look after
our little mate Johnny Lawrence.
Our team of office workers who made the best of a tedious task. Many
thanks
Congratulations to Glenn O’Brien, our President for the work not only
at the carnival but throughout the year.

SHOTGUN SPECIAL
REPRODUCED WITH PERMISSION FROM THE AUSTRALIAN SHOOTER
Browning’s Citori Sporter
- a real bargain buster!
by John McDougall
John McDougall takes the Citori
Sporter through its paces at his
local Sporting Clays ground on
Phillip Island, Victoria.
T
he name Browning is synonymous with one of the most famous
of all firearms designers - John
Moses Browning. Designs that
were penned in the late 19th century are
still being used today, as the brilliance of
Browning was, in my opinion, unsurpassed.
This is high accolade for a chap who had
trouble getting recognition in his own
country and needed to take his designs
elsewhere!
The Browning Citoris shotguns are
made in Japan and represent excellent
engineering and finish. The materials are
of exceptional quality and the finish, even
on this entrance model Sporter on review,
is very good. Upon unpacking, I was also
impressed with the quality of character in
the woodwork, for unlike many European
manufacturers, who are disguising very
basic woodwork with coatings that portray
14
magnificent grain characteristics, Browning
simply had a matte polythene finish on a
better-than-average piece of wood. Much to
my delight, I noted a recoil pad was fitted
as standard. Maybe Browning has been
listening to my concerns for the past 20
years.
The barrels
Measuring 30" in length and fitted with the
Invector Plus interchangeable choke tube
system, the Browning Citori Sporter was
certainly well designed and ready for the
challenge of Sporting Clays or a day out in
the field on upland game such as rabbits,
hares or quail. The long 30" barrels are
preferred for Sporting Clays though, as
the barrels maintain enough weight for a
smooth swinging action.
Interchangeable choke tubes offer
options for varying shooting or hunting
opportunities and I prefer them for sporting
shotguns for this reason. The greater the
versatility offered, the better the gun I say!
The supplied choke key was quite basic,
similar to what Browning used years ago,
but I sometimes need to remind myself
that the gun was an entry-level model. The
solid side ribs contributed to the weight of
the barrels and the gun’s overall balance. I
also find vented side ribs a nuisance to keep
clean and so preferred the solid ribs.
Topped with a parallel rib typical of
Browning design, with two sights fitted,
one at the muzzle and another halfway
down the rib, to effect correct barrel alignment, the gun pointed extremely well. I
SHOTGUN SPECIAL
appreciated the mid-sight, which always
enables the shooter to ascertain whether
they are ‘canting’ the gun (tipping the
barrels off vertical), for the sights should
align in a figure 8. A good way to check
gunfit and barrel alignment is to mount the
gun with your eyes closed. Then, when
you open your eyes, if the sights are not
aligned, stock adjustments may be required.
The Citori Sporter mounted perfectly for
my purposes and body build - I suppose that
gave me no excuses for any missed targets
during field testing!
The finish on the Citori Sporter was
faultless. Browning uses a much darker
blueing finish, almost black, compared to
what can be found on European guns, but
over the years, this has become a Browning
characteristic. The finish appears to be
very resilient, having passed the test of
time; indeed, I have not known of any Citori
barrels to suffer from surface rust.
The chamber end of the barrels was very
interesting. In fact, I had to have a second
look when I checked the chamber end, for
the forcing cones had been significantly
lengthened. Chambered for field shooting 3"
shotshells, the barrel bores each measured
0.737", which is a little tighter than the
0.74 to 0.742" that I have found with other
models. The bore differences are really
inconsequential, although larger bores
tend to provide less resistance to shot and
wad charges, resulting in marginally faster
velocities. This was proven by American
Stan Baker.
My concerns with barrel bores are
related to the relative differences in bore
diameter to choke tube constriction, which
determines choke. This was demonstrated
when I measured what was labelled an
improved cylinder Invector Plus choke tube
The Citori Sporter comes with three Invector Plus
choke tubes and a choke wrench. John McDougall
recommends the purchase of a Browning T-bar
wrench or Briley ‘speed wrench’, as he found the
supplied wrench slow and cumbersome to effect
fast changes.
BROWNING’S CITORI SPORTER
The white front-sight at the muzzle was not John
McDougall’s preferred type; fluoro optics seem to
provide a better option. These can be added at a
very affordable cost if preferred. The entry-level
Citori Sporter is still exceptional value though!
The mid-sight was an appreciated addition to the
gun, which will enable the shooter to check and
correct gun mount and avoid ‘canting’ or tilting of
the barrels from vertical.
supplied with the gun to find it measured
0.736", which means the difference between
the bore and choke constriction was only
one-thousandth of an inch (or ‘one point’)
and this actually represents a cylinder
choke! Improved cylinder is usually around
10 points of constriction, which meant
the respective choke tube should have
measured 0.727". This was not such a
concern for me, for knowing the relative
differences meant that I could select the
appropriate choke tube for my purposes.
Perhaps Browning may have gone to lighter
choke constrictions to compensate for the
tighter patterning often resultant from
lengthened forcing cones.
I recalled being entertained for several
hours many years ago with a Browning
gunsmith at the World UIT Championships
held in Western Australia in the early
1990s. He explained that Browning did not
advocate lengthened forcing cones at the
time, as such modifications interfered with
pattern performance. It was interesting
to note their change of direction with
this model. I feel sure Browning would
have well and truly done their research
and development with this modification
to ensure optimal pattern efficiency and
terminal ballistic performance.
The tried and proven two-piece ejectors were fitted to the Citori Sporter and
performed as to be expected - perfectly!
Browning has long used two-piece ejectors on its
shotguns. These operated with precision timing on
the review gun.
The receiver
The receiver was silver in color, which made
the gun well suited to upland game, as well as
Sporting Clays. Engraving about the receiver
was sufficiently and tastefully completed,
without being overdone. Remember, this is an
entry-level model with the best Browning can
offer for the minimal price.
All metal-to-metal surfaces and woodto-metal borders were finished well, to
the point of being without fault. This is a
great effort by Browning with their CNC
machinery. Even many guns that I have
seen from European makers are not so well
finished, having noticeable gaps between
metal surfaces, especially those selling for
less than $2000.
Browning utilises an underpinned jointing
system by which the barrels are attached
to the receiver. This concerned me a little,
until I recently found a similar Citori GTS
quite comfortable to shoot. While shooting
lower profiled, bifurcated jointed guns for
almost 20 years, I always found the higher
profile from underpinned guns a little
ungainly, as they have a higher centre of
gravity and never seemed to point as well.
Since returning to a Browning Citori for
my own personal gun, I have noticed little
difference in handling characteristics and
can shoot just as well with my Browning
15
SHOTGUN SPECIAL
now, as I did with my previous Italian guns.
Anyway, the Citori Sporter came up beautifully, swung smoothly and had me looking
straight down the barrels, so I could not ask
for much more.
The top lever of the gun was well
adjusted and comfortable to use. It operated
the bottom trapezoid wedge, which slides
across the floor of the receiver to lock the
gun. Its adjustment slightly to the right,
which allows for some wear over time, is
standard. Also located on the top tang was
the barrel selector-cum-safety catch. These
were well designed and positive in operation. Browning seems to take as much pride
in the quality assurance and adjustment of
its entry-level guns as its more expensive
models, which is comforting to know.
With the safety catch pushed forward,
the gun was ready to fire. The barrel order
of either ‘U’ for under barrel or ‘O’ for
over barrel could not be selected until the
gun’s safety catch was returned to the
‘safe’ position. The firing mechanism was
also based on an inertia cocking system,
whereby once the firing mechanism is
initially cocked by opening the barrels fully
(breaking the action), the recoil from firing
the first barrel selects the second barrel
ready for firing. If you have a misfire in
the first barrel, the second barrel cannot
be discharged unless you manipulate the
barrel selector very quickly. This is standard with all Browning Citori models and
there are very few shotguns these days
that offer mechanical trigger systems.
The triggerguard was generous and
would accommodate shooters wearing thin
leather shooting or golfing gloves. The triggerfoot was quite basic and non-adjustable,
although it was comfortable to the feel. The
trigger releases were well weighted and
smooth in operation. I had no problems with
‘freezing’ on the trigger, which can sometimes happen when using unfamiliar guns.
This indicated that the trigger adjustments
for release were perfect!
This take-down view of the gun shows the lug
beneath the barrel, which couples with the pin
across the front of the receiver. Also shown is the
rearward lump, which fits into the bottom of the
receiver, and its rearward trapezoid ‘bite’ that
locks and secures the action.
16
The stock and fore-end
The stock and fore-end were of standard
Sporter design and configuration. The foreend had a Schnabel tulip at the head and
was well covered with chequering to afford
a comfortable and firm grip. The chequering
was quite precise at around 18 lines per
inch and was obviously laser-cut by automated CNC machines. Inletting of the foreend latch was just as precisely completed as
other inletting about the gun. Design of the
fore-end latch was typical of Browning, with
the same mechanics as their more expensive Citori guns.
The stock on the Citori Sporter had a
factory-fitted recoil pad, which I will reiterate, delighted me to no end! I hope we
have seen the end of plastic buttplates and
Browning can now focus on fitting recoil
pads to its guns, especially its Sporting
Clays guns. Correct gun mount is essential
and I have found over the past 30 years
as a gun writer that a rubber recoil pad is
essential, particularly for overhead shots
where the gun is held almost vertically.
The recoil from the first barrel used to
dismount the guns fitted with the older
plastic buttplates, but thankfully, this is no
longer a concern. I have also found that
the expense of having a stockmaker or
gunsmith fit an aftermarket pad is one that
is easily absorbed by the manufacturer,
rather than the individual shooter getting
left with a $125-$200 bill after you have
acquired the gun.
Design of the stock was excellent. The
dimensions of length of pull, drop at heel
and drop at comb are all included in the
accompanying Specifications table. I was
very impressed with the newly designed
pistol grip, which was a far cry from the
semi-pistol grip found on earlier models,
while the palmswell (for a right-handed
shooter) was another pleasant surprise.
The revamped design of the pistol grip with
The rear of the barrel
set, showing the split
ejectors and highly
polished receiver
top. Browning has
successfully used this
rib design for years.
The top tang is of
typical Browning
design, with the
safety catch-cumbarrel selector
incorporated and
located thereon.
Engraving about the silvered
receiver was adequate and
complemented the gun. Metal-tometal and wood-to-metal surfaces
all met well.
A generous triggerguard was provided with the
gun. Despite having a non-adjustable triggerfoot,
the trigger felt comfortable and suitably adjusted.
Trigger releases for each barrel were firm and
positive.
palmswell is certainly a winner.
In the field
I took the Citori Sporter to my local gun
club on Phillip Island for a couple of rounds
of Sporting Clays and found it to be excellent. I fitted the half and three-quarter
chokes (due to the differences in constriction of bore compared to chokes) and found
that my scores continued to improve as I
became more familiar with the gun, eventually shooting a 20/25 on my final round.
The balance of the gun was excellent. Its
weight was more evenly distributed than
my regular Browning GTS. This is a huge
improvement, as my Browning GTS, more
suited to game and target shooting, sold
for around $3700 when originally released,
compared to around $1900 for the Citori
Sporter on test. I am almost tempted to sell
one for the other, as I was so impressed
with the new model!
The inclusion of interchangeable Invector
Plus chokes is also a bonus and provides
greater versatility. As mentioned earlier, the
improved cylinder choke measured 0.001"
of constriction, which equates to almost
cylinder; the modified choke measured
0.009", which equates more to improved
cylinder; and the improved modified choke
measured 0.017", which equates to a light

modified choke. By installing the modified
and improved modified choke, I was actually shooting quarter and half choke, which
suited the ground well and even distant
targets were evenly broken using the
Winchester 28g Sporting loads supplied for
testing with the gun.
One of the most noticeable features of
the Citori Sporter was the huge reduction in recoil, which I am attributing to the
lengthened forcing cones. As well as the
supplied Winchester 28g loads, I also used
some Winchester 325 Trap 32g loads and
some heavier reloads. The gun handled the
recoil exceptionally well, with the recoil on
the 28g loads barely perceivable and the
heavier loads well tamed.
Summary
Overall, I found the new Browning Citori
Sporter to be well made. Specifically
prepared for the needs of the Sporting
The walnut fore-end was perfectly designed for
Sporting Clays. It afforded a full and firm grip,
supported by extensive chequering.
Specifications
The walnut stock wood looked great for an
entry-model gun, while the matte polyurethane
finish protects the woodwork. Chequering was
faultlessly completed at around 18 lines per inch
and the full pistol grip was a winner.
Clays shooter, it represented excellent
value for money as an entry-level gun from
Browning. There were three choke tubes
supplied with the gun, along with a wrench,
extensive instruction book and warranty
card from Winchester all packed in an ABS
case.
Whether it is a strengthening Australian
dollar or better pricing from Browning,
the Australian distributors, Winchester
Australia, certainly appear to have a winner
in the Citori Sporter. At around $1895 and
with a 12-month warranty from Winchester
Australia, the review gun is exceptionally
well priced and I believe there is no better
value in a such a quality shotgun.

MYTHS ABOUT
HAPPINESS
In the last article, I explored the concept
of happiness and basically reviewed the
opening chapter of Russ Harris’ The Happiness Trap: Stop Struggling, Start Living.
Happiness could be defined as either a sense of pleasure, gladness or
gratification, or living a rich, full and meaningful life. Both of these
definitions presuppose that we are enjoying our life at the moment: that
it is the present or the “here and now” that is important. Over the years I
have talked often about the past, present and the future as being important in improving performance: the same goes for everyday living and
happiness. Briefly, if we focus on the past we make judgements about
our previous performances and/or judgements about ourselves based on
those performances. If we focus on the future, we develop anxieties and
worries about what might happen. Both these judgements and worries
get in the way of our staying focused on the present.
How do we set the Happiness Trap? Popular culture doesn’t help. In
fairy tales and movies: “. . . they lived happily ever after.” Feel good
endings, where love conquers all, good triumphs over evil and the hero
wins reinforce a romantic notion of how life should be: all joy, fun,
peace, contentment, and everlasting happiness. But is this everyone’s
experience of what life is really like?
What are the four myths that make up The Happiness Trap. According
to Harris, they are:
Myth 1: Happiness is a natural state for all human beings.
If we believe this myth, we run the risk of thinking that everyone else
is happy all the time. But look at the statistics: one in ten will attempt
suicide, one in five will suffer from depression, and others will suffer
from significant psychiatric disorders. But even if you don’t have a psychiatric illness there are still misery causing problems such as loneliness,
divorce, domestic violence, social isolation, bullying, prejudice, low selfesteem, anger, grief, lack of meaning or purpose in life, that still makes
us feel unhappy. Life is full of peaks and troughs and most of us move up
and down regularly: what makes us happy is that pleasurable experience
that we are enjoying at the moment.
Myth 2: If you’re not happy, you’re defective.
This logically follows from Myth 1, that is, we in the west, believe
that mental illness is abnormal. Your unhappiness is therefore seen as
a weakness or illness. The label: being depressed, or anxious, doesn’t
really help because in describing the symptoms it presupposes that the
symptoms are ‘You’, rather than just describing how you are behaving.
As a therapist, I often have clients who come to therapy due to grief.
When a love one dies, we can be confronted by feelings, thoughts and
reactions that we have not experienced before: anger, depression, denial,
etc. What clients find interesting is that what they are going through is
normal. For them these thoughts and feeling are out of left field and that
when they learn they are normal, you can see a great weight lift from
their shoulders.
Myth 3: To create a better life, we must get rid of negative feelings.
Living in our feel good society we are constantly being told that to find
happiness we must eliminate negative feelings and accumulate positive
ones to put in their place. It makes sense because who wants to be
unhappy and have negative thoughts. The irony is that what we long
for often brings with it both pleasant and unpleasant feelings. When we
18
embark on a meaningful project it often brings feelings of excitement
and enthusiasm as well as other feelings of stress, fear and anxiety. So
if you believe this myth you are in trouble because it is impossible to
remove the unpleasant feelings within our life.
Myth 4: You should be able to control what you think and feel.
If only life was this easy. We believe that we have ability to control what
we think, where in fact we have very little control over our thoughts.
We do have control over the way we act and behave. Most self-help
programs, according to Harris, subscribe to this myth. That is, we
are told to identify negative or inappropriate thoughts and replace
them with positive or appropriate ones. The argument here is that if
we replace the negative and unhelpful with the positive and helpful,
then we find happiness. If this were true, I would be out of a job. As a
shooter, try to change your thinking from negative thoughts to positive
ones: and you will still miss. This is because thinking is much more than
either good or bad. It involves tense: past, present and future, as well
as internalising the thoughts as beliefs: about our ability, about our self
and about our worth. The other factor affecting our ability to remove
negative thoughts is the level of stress: the more distressed we become
the harder it is to get rid of the negative thoughts. If you are upset,
angry, annoyed, scared, etc it will be even harder to get rid of these
thoughts. Because this belief is widely believed, it is easy for us to feel
inadequate if our attempts to control our thoughts and feelings fail.
These four myths together with thousands of years of evolution have
established the framework for the happiness trap. According to Harris,
these myths and evolution set us up for a struggle that we can never
win: the struggle against our own human nature.
As humans we have an enormous advantage over the other animals
because of our ability to plan, analyse problems, share knowledge,
learn from past experiences and conceptualise the future. Normally we
can control the things that happen to us in our external world: if we
are confronted by danger, we avoid it or deal with it. In our internal
world, those dealing with memories, thoughts, emotions, urges, etc,
we are unable to control, remove or avoid those things that are
unpleasant.
As an experiment, to show our inability to control thoughts, spend a
minute thinking about a camel. Picture a camel in your mind, the size,
smell, feel, the look of the camel. Now forget about the camel. For one
minute don’t think about a camel.
How did you do? It is hard to stop thinking about the camel.
Try one more experiment: stare at the shape below and see if you can
stop thinking for 60 seconds. For one minutes, stop thinking about
anything, do not let any thoughts whatsoever enter your mind, especially any thoughts about this shape.
Hopefully, your now getting the point that thoughts, feelings, physical
sensations, and memories are hard to control. It is not that you have no
control, it is just that you have a lot less than you thought.
Rather then try to control thoughts and feelings you should enjoy the
experience. Focus on the here and now, what is happening to you at the
present moment. It is the enjoyment of the experience, what is happening to you now that is the essence of being happy.

Mixed Shooting at Echuca
January the 8th was the
first shoot for 2012 at the
Echuca Clay Target Club,
and the mixed events on
offer for the day attracted
five full squads. Considering the rain that was falling,
and the gusty wind at times,
that was a surprisingly good
roll up for a shoot
that normally is low on
participants because of the
time of year.
ACTA Nos & Names of 5 shooters making up the
Squad:
and although quite a few shot
all 25, it finally came down to a
battle between Stephen Atkins
of Echuca, and Brian Doyle of
Hay. When the 71st targets were
thrown, Brian missed his, and
Stephen shot his, making him the
Overall Winner, collecting the
Sash, and the trophy for 1st place
in AA grade, the result of his
71/71 score. Excellent shooting
in these poor weather conditions
Steve!
The last Event was the popular,
Echuca Club Mug, shooting off
graded meterage marks, and
after shooting the initial ten
targets, the shooters having shot
all ten would begin
to move back a
metre at a shot,

George Sckaf
5.12.1956 – 17.1.2012
It is with deep sadness that we must bid
farewell to George Sckaf, our friend,
mentor and a true gentleman.
George passed away peacefully
on Tuesday evening 17th January
2012.
George joined the ACTA in May
1985 as a member of the Brisbane
Gun Club and soon after joined
the Gold Coast Clay Target Club
where he quickly settled in as a
valuable club member. We were
honoured to appoint George as the
Gold Coast club Patron, and he was a
major sponsor who generously supported
shoots at club, State and National level. He
was renowned for his ample donations to club raffles and his resourcefulness at extracting contributions from all comers to support clubs and
charities through his raffles. He particularly liked helping smaller clubs
and often raised sizeable contributions on their behalf through his sponsorship and fundraising.
George was proud to be an Aussie while remaining deeply respectful of his heritage. In 1992 he married his beautiful wife Mirna and
together raised their 3 children, Nicholas, Ashley and Sarah. George was
an extremely devoted family man and counted his happy family life as
his most gratifying achievement. A supremely proud father he always
valued the time spent with his children. George and Mirna celebrated
their 20th wedding anniversary just last week.
George’s interest in shooting was not restricted just to the competition
and he gained considerable satisfaction from helping others, particularly
junior and novice shooters. There are many shooters involved in the
sport today who are there solely because ‘Poppa’ George encouraged,
supported and coached them, and as an individual would be easily recognised as one of the most significant contributors to the advancement
of clay target shooting in Queensland. Most importantly George always
gave from the heart and those who benefited from his advice were fortunate to experience this special brand of generosity.
The back of George’s car was always a gathering point at club shoots,
dispensing guns, ammo, advice and conviviality. There was nothing that
George didn’t know about firearms and it pleased him to be able
to share his knowledge with others. As a competitor George could be
unbeatable and has an impressive list of achievements to his name.
George won a number of Queensland State titles during his shooting
career, including the State Handicap event in Brisbane, the State Double
Rise championship in Toowoomba in 1995 and the coveted State Double
Barrel title in Townsville in 2000 which he won with a score of 225/225.
George was also a member of the Queensland Open Trap team in 2000,
and the Mackintosh team in 2001.
In a change of discipline and to prove to himself that he could do it,
George not only earned a place in the Queensland Open Skeet team
in 2008, but qualified as team captain with a top score of 199/200 –
shooting the carnival gun down! He rounded out the competition by
taking the title of Queensland Skeet Champion 2008.
To those who knew him George was larger than life. A warm-hearted,
sensitive and loyal friend, his generosity was second to none. George
could not abide meanness or intolerance in others and in his compassionate way felt that people should simply be kinder to each other
– a lesson we could all learn from George. An honest, genuinely caring
man we will miss George’s unique wisdom, his sense of humour, his
companionship and his huge capacity for understanding. His loss will
be profoundly felt throughout the
shooting community.
Along with Mirna and their children,
George leaves his brother Nadim and
his wife Gretta and family, and his
loving mother Nellie. A successful
businessman, George also gave selflessly to his church and his community.
A big man with an even bigger heart,
George leaves big shoes to fill in the
shooting world. It will be hard to
imagine our lives without him.
There is no death.
The stars go down
To rise upon some other shore,
And bright in heaven’s jewelled crown
They shine forever more.
J.L. McCreery
George, our dear friend, forever in our hearts.
Debbie Young, Colin & Gael Witt and John Mack
The committee and members of both the Gold Coast Clay Target
Club and the Brisbane Gun Club sincerely wish to thank those who
sent condolences and messages of sympathy on the sad passing of
our Patron and dear friend George Sckaf.
Our clubs and George’s family were inundated with calls, posts,
emails and tributes from shooters and clubs across Australia –
a testament to the many lives George has touched.
Your kind thoughts were very much appreciated.
We will always be grateful for George’s enormous contribution to
our sport.
Debbie Young, President Gold Coast Clay Target Club
and Malory Carpentier, President Brisbane Gun Club
Tommy Alaimo – 1931-2011
The Mornington Clay Target Club is sad to announce the unexpected
passing of life member Tommy Alaimo at age 80
A keen duck shooter in his younger years, Tommy changed direction
and took up clay target shooting in Frankston in 1953. Unfortunately
for Tommy, this new hobby soon gave way to make time for opening the
fruit shop in Mornington with brother Manny in 1958.
With a few more decades under his belt, a successful business now
grown and his young family established, Tommy returned to clay target
shooting though this time with the Mornington Clay Target Club in
1982. From hereon until his passing, Tommy was a regular fixture at
the club and could be seen every second Saturday making his way up
to the traps to donate more lead to the paddock out the back. Never
a championship shooter, a few of the Cerberus blokes thought they’d
have a bit of friendly fun with Tommy one year by presenting him with
a bespoke ‘30 Break Badge’ after a particularly successful shoot you can
bet it took weeks to wipe the smile from his face. Tommy loved his club
and never hesitated in donating his precious time and money to get
the fledgling up and running. If you look carefully you can still see the
Alaimo brothers’ names affixed to the lanes to the left of the clubhouse
in recognition of their sponsoring of that construction.
It’s always sad for a small club like ours to lose an elder member, especially one like Tommy. Our sincere condolences are passed to his wife
Marie, his children and grandchildren, and especially to his brother and
companion life member Manny who is still a regular at the club but who
has sadly lost the pleasure of his brother’s company to complete their
beloved monthly ritual.
Rest in peace mate.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the new Gun Laws, all classified ads submitted must include the serial number of all guns advertised, and also the
shooter licence number. We are also no longer allowed to advertise the
sale of any pump-action or semi-auto shotguns or the parts thereof.
Rates (inc GST) are as follows:

$24.00 — 60-100 words max.
Advertisers must comply with the copy deadlines as detailed on page 2
of this issue, and your name, address and telephone number must be

Payment must accompany advertisement.
NSW Members and Dealers
As stated in Firearms Act 1996, Section 54 “A person must not cause an
advertisement for the sale of a firearm or firearm part to be published
unless:
(a) the person is a licensed firearm dealer, or
(b) the proposed sale is to be arranged by or through a licensed firearm
dealer and the advertisement contains such particulars as may be
prescribed by the Regulations”.
The Regulation states, “For the purposes of section 54(b) of the Act, the
following particulars are prescribed in relation to an advertisement for the
sale of a firearm that is arranged by or through a licensed firearms dealer.
You are the appointed Referee for a 30 target event which is to be
shot over three traps. Eg. 10 targets on trap 1, 10 targets on trap 2
and 10 targets on trap 3.
This is the second event of the day for each shooter, so no eye
opener is involved.
No 3 shooter prepares for his first shot and has an apparent
malfunction. You examine his gun and determine that the safety
catch was on. You quite correctly rule “No Target” under Rule
1.06(viii).
You complete that set of 10 targets and move to the next two traps
in turn to complete the full 30 targets. However, No 3 shooter
has repeated his indiscretion in that at each of the two traps
he subsequently visited, you find that his safety catch had been
applied for the first of his shots at each of the next two traps.
What do you rule in each case?
It’s Your Call
If you ruled “No target” on each occasion you would be quite correct.
Rule 1.06(viii) says that “No target shall be allowed for the first
target of any visit to a trap if a safety catch is engaged. While many
may argue that the intent of this rule is to apply to only the start of the
event, the rule is quite clear as it is printed.
(a) the licence or permit number of the seller,
The Firearms Act 1996 applies to both the Publisher and the individual
placing the advertisement. Failing to abide by this Section attracts a
maximum fine of $5,500.

Clive Foster and Wayne Ambrose went out early and pumped water out
of the trench layout so that by starting time everything was in readiness
for the shooters who had arrived.
Trench shooting is a tough discipline but it has a devoted band of
followers so there were shooters from Parkes, Forbes and Narromine
who journeyed to West Wyalong.
Light conditions were variable and when for a short period there was
bright sunshine with a dark cloud in the background scores improved
markedly.
Everyone was in a relaxed mood and overall it was a very casual day
and only a few of the shooters winced when the first shots were fired
indicating that not everyone present had a hangover.
Overall winner on the day was Don Turner 83/100, Greg Buckley 79/100
won B Grade and James Turner was the C Grade winner 75/100.
Narelle Ambrose supplied a lovely Christmas cake for a leisurely
afternoon tea which was enjoyed by all.
As the cash was being handed out Don Turner collected for both himself
and James, but James soon ambushed Don with his hand out.
Two Day Skeet Carnival at Cecil Park
On the weekend of the 12th & 13th of November,
Cecil Park Clay Target Club held it’s annual 2 day
Skeet Carnival. On both mornings we were greeted
with slightly cool conditions and overcast skies but
were lucky enough not have been rained on.
Some shooters that attended travelled some long distances,
including places like Queensland with one in particular (Pat
Dury) coming down all the way from Townsville, a couple of
shooters from Victoria, and from varied places around NSW.
With the help of my good friends, Michael, Jessie, Wayne and
Tony we had the targets on four layouts flying as near to perfect
as possible and thanks to the incredible work done on the traps
by Peter Vella the targets stayed that way (except for a couple
of minor adjustments) for the two days.
When all the nominations were in we had eleven squads of
shooters for the Saturday and that was followed on the Sunday
with ten squads. Now, to get ‘em going, I have experienced
over a long period that a lot shooters are reluctant to volunteer to get the first waive under
way by means of refereeing
and or scoring. Well, people,
if you don’t help out, shoots
would never start and don’t
forget that you don’t have to
do it again when next your turn
comes round.
74/74, A 2nd Ian Stewart 49/50, B grade 1st
Michael Maloney 58/59, B 2nd Jack Cunningham 49/50, C grade 1st Robert Wade
55/58, C 2nd Joshua Cunningham 51/55.
At around 15 minutes after
the advertised starting time
we finally got under way with
the first event which was the
Michael and Marina sponsored
50tgt Skeet Championship, the
results are as follows: O/A
winner John Guberina 89/89,
AA 1st Peter Vella 88/89, AA
2nd Mark Fanning 57/58, A
grade 1st our very own President Vince Gatt with a perfect 50/50, A 2nd Pat Dury 92/93, B grade
1st (just to get back some of his sponsorship money) Michael “nugget”
Maloney 60/61, B 2nd Dennis Savage 59/61, C grade 1st Robert Wade
47/50, C 2nd Elton Chetcuti 46/50.
The fourth and final event was the Seb
Cavallaro Memorial 50tgt Championship.
Seb was another of the very, very popular
characters of skeet shooting and on his day
could foot it with the best. We were fortunate to have four members of the Cavallaro
family present, including Carina, Seb’s wife
(who’s a pretty handy shooter in her own
right) Seb’s son and two granddaughters. We
thank them all for giving up their time to
make the presentations. Results were: O/A
Peter Vella 105/106, AA 1st Shane Bennett 88/89, AA 2nd Michael Buttigieg 61/62, A grade 1st Ian Stewart 104/105, A 2nd Ronald Satara 77/79,
B grade 1st Reg Clarke 48/50, B 2nd Dennis Savage 47/50, C grade 1st
Robert (becoming a habit) Wade 48/50, C 2nd Joe Haddad 47/50.
The second event, which has proved to be very popular was the 50tgt
Skeet Handicap, this event was generously sponsored by Anthony
Annecchini. After qualifications were completed there were six squads
to shoot off for the 1st to 5th prize money on offer. The results after
lots of rounds of shooting, were 1st Elton Chetcuti 116/125, 2nd Tony
Hickman 121/125, 3rd Peter Papps 90/100, 4th Frank Cooper 99/100, 5th
junior shooter Jack Kerfoot 90/100.
The graded High Gun and section winners were: Junior High Gun Joshua
Bell 192/200, Ladies High Gun Lorraine Hughes 194/200, C grade High
Gun Robert Wade 186/200, B grade High Gun Tony Hickman 193/200,
A grade High Gun Neil Dimick 195/200, AA High Gun Shane Bennett
198/200, O/All High Gun Peter Vella 199/200.
Sunday morning and we were under way ahead of time (yeeaahh) with
the 3rd event which is the Ross Dawson Memorial 50tgt Skeet Championship. For those of us that remember Ross, (Dawso, to some of us) we
have some great memories of one hell of a stirring, cheeky, buggar of a
guy that you just could not help to love (we miss ya mate) Results were:
there was a shoot off for O/A between Stephen Bell and Mark Fanning
and I happened to be the referee for the shoot off and there was some
doubt in my mind at station 4 low when Mark was shooting, with that
in mind I offered to reinstate the target but Mark being the gentleman
that he is was adamant that he missed the target and refused to have
the target again, and so it goes. O/A Stephen Bell 109/112, AA 1st Mark
Fanning 108/112, AA 2nd Peter Vella 61/62, A grade 1st Tony Hickman
Thanks to our three juniors who, under the watchful eye of Steve Bell,
did a great job of keeping the traps full. Thank you Vivian in the canteen
your food was sensational, the ladies in the office Maria and in particular Shelly, who had to battle computer gliches and came out a
winner great job ladies. To my mates who are always willing to give
me a hand, (you know who you are) thank you so much guys. To the
sponsors, where would we be without you, on behalf of all the shooters,
thank you so very very much. And last of all but certainly not in the least
to our Club President, Vince Gatt thanks mate for all that you do for us
not only in skeet but clay target shooting generally. We at Cecil Park
believe that the Skeet Carnival was a great shoot and will endeavour to
maintain our high standard.
Hope to see you and your friends next time round,
Ben Buhagiar Shoot Marshall.

FINED FOR SUNDAY
GUN CLUB SHOOT
At Portarlington Court yesterday, 10 men were
each fined £2 for carrying and firing firearms at the
Nagoondy Park Gun Club, near Portarlington, on
Sunday, May 17.
Only two of the men were
GUN CLUBS
from the Geelong area – Henry
William Robert Jorgensen, 53
years, of Portarlington, and John
Ford, 58 years, of Marshall, via
Geelong.
The others were from Melbourne suburbs and Echuca.
Police evidence was given
that following a complaint by
the Chief Secretary’s Department, officers visited the Gun
Club, where a clay pigeon shoot
was being held.
The charges were a result of
their investigations.
Jorgensen told the court he
considered he had not committed an offence as one could shoot
at gun clubs close to Melbourne

Champion Marksman Downs
Mad Bull With One Shot
Champion shot and well-known game hunter, Mr R.
Jorgensen, claimed another bull’s-eye at 5 a.m. yesterday
morning – he killed a mad bull wih a single shot at 50
yards at Clifton Springs.
The bull, which had been
running wild around the Portartlington-Drysdale-Clifton Springs
district for seven days, knocking
down fences and chasing people,
had over 20 bullets in its skull
and hide.
Last Sunday the bull chased a
man up a tree and the man fired
several .22 bullets at it, but the
bullets only went a quarter of
an inch into the animal’s thick
skull.
Aggravated
Mr Jorgensen thinks that those
bullets, and others found in his
hide, aggravated the animal even
more.
At about 4.30 a.m. yesterday morning a local farmer and
another man called on Mr Jorgensen’s Portarlington home
and asked him to assist them in
tracking and killing the wild bull.
Hunters Out
Touring the district in a truck,
the hunters found the animal
about a quarter of a mile from
the Clifton Springs Hotel.
Before Mr Jorgensen could
get a bead on the animal with
his specially imported 12-bore
shot-gun – which fires slugs,
capable of killing an elephant
– the wild beast knocked down
two fences.
50 Yards
Then from 50 yards Mr Jorgensen shot the bull through the
eye, killing it instantly.
Mr Jorgensen said afterwards:
“The bull had about 20 .22 and
.44 bullets in its skull and several
more in its hide.
Winch Used
“I doubt whether those bullets
really hurt him, but they certainly must have aggravated the
animal.
“After I had shot it, we used
a winch to put the body into the
back of the truck.
“It was a massive animal, and
it did a lot of damage around
the district – it could have even
killed someone.”
VALUABLE GUN AND DANGEROUS
CARTRIDGES STOLEN
A
well-planned
theft
has robbed one of Australia’s leading shooters of his
prize-winning shotgun and
hundreds of valuable and
unique cartridges . . . and he
has appealed to the thieves
to return his invaluable shotgun.
The champion shot, Mr R. Jorgensen of Portarlington, said that he
was not so much concerned about
the cartridges – although some of
them were museum pieces – but the
shotgun valued at about £150, could
not be replaced.
The shooting equipment was
stolen from his house and storeroom at Portarlington between May
3 and 6, but the theft was not dis-

(16.1.1959)
covered until 48 hours ago when Mr
Jorgensen returned from a rabbittrapping trip.
Detective John Barrow, who
is in charge of the investigations,
said that the thieves got away with
more than 3000 cartridges and the
shotgun.
“They stole only the cartridges
and gun, leaving behind valuable
trophies and other articles which
were in the house,” he said.
Knew What They Wanted
Detective Barrow said that the
theft looked like a well-planned job,
the thieves knowing exactly what
they wanted.
The properly was valued in all at
about £300.
Mr Jorgensen said that his gun,
a Browning repeater, was altered
to his own specifications and that it
had won him hundreds of prizes.
“There is not another gun like it
in the world”, he said.
Dangerous
Some of the cartridges which
were stolen, were rare and highly
dangerous, including big game cartidges and Boer War relics which
were first used for experiments.
“Some are collectors’ items”,
Detective Barrow added.
All gun dealers, pawn shops and
gun clubs have been warned to be on
the lookout for the stolen property
and any information regarding the
equipment should be forwarded to
Detective Barrow, Geelong C.I.B.

BOXING DAY CARNIVAL
The 55th Anniversary 2 day Boxing Day Carnival
was held on 26th & 27th December 2011 with 156
shooters in attendance. The weather on Monday
26th was perfect and Sunday 27th was fine with
slight wind.
A record number of 156 shooters turned up on Monday
morning (Boxing Day) to nominate & join in our annual
event. With all the Christmas formalities out of the way for
another year it was time for some socialising, some fun and
some action.
Shooters from NSW, QLD & Tasmania turned up to enjoy
the festivities and the beautiful Sydney weather didn’t let
them down offering perfect weather for both days, with just
a slight breeze coming through on Tuesday. The weather made for a
lovely time camping on the grounds.

DTL AT CECIL PARK
On the 7 January 2012, with 26 shooters in attendance
the DTL Monthly Competition for January 2012 was
held. The weather was fine with a light breeze.
Many club shooters travel away at this holiday time of the year, and
that was reflected in the numbers that turned up at the Monthly
DTL.
competition. Even so, 5 squads enjoyed a brilliant day for DTL with
100 targets being offered comprising of 50 D/B and 50 D/B Cont.
Joe Camilleri took out O/A with a fine 99/100 and a lot of shooters
were not far behind him. Full results appear elsewhere.
I have to thank Vince Gatt (CPCTC President) for all his efforts in
promoting the resurgence of monthly DTL competition, keeping
the noms at $40 and guaranteeing the prize money. Thanks to the
L-R Peter Papps, OA winner Joe Camilleri & Louis Galea
volunteers and the office/canteen staff for making these days such
a great success.
Also congratulations to all the winners and placegetters.

100 Target Double Barrel at Wonthaggi
A hot summer’s day greeted Wonthaggi on the 1st day of
2012. Thirty-nine competitors were in for a treat with fine
weather & new targets to start the year.
The 100T DB championship was the event which saw 16 shooters score
97/100 or better. Thirty-five red stars (25t possible) dotted the scoreboard proving conditions were in the shooter’s favour.
Three competitors managed to score 100/100. Wayne Hawker, Charlie
Gales & Wayne Parks all took a share of the $495.00 jackpot, then were
ready to do battle for Overall. Surrounded by “Waynes”, Charlie succumbed to the pressure leaving the 2 W’s to fight on. After 50 Tgt DB
in the shoot off it was decided to shoot Points Score to obtain a result.
Four targets in, Wayne Hawker pulled a 2nd barrel to shoot 154/154,
but finished runner up to Wayne Parks 154/154. Fine shooting by all
3. A grade was won with 99/100 with none other than veteran Tony
Rowe taking the honours. Tony’s grandson Uriah Moloney, missed his
last target in A grade to finish 98/100, with 2 others, Mathew Tout &
Michael Poock. Poocky was successful in the shoot off finishing with
106/108. B grade visitors Keith Lewry & Anatoly Volkoff shot 97/100 to
set the scene for a keen contest seeing Keith victorious on 116/119.
Wonthaggi’s Mike Hopkins shot an incredible 96/100 to blitz C grade
ahead of newcomer, Paula Elstrek on 88/100, which proves “practice
makes perfect” welcome to B grade Mike.

JANUARY SKEET
What a start to 2012. Normally we would be shooting
in thirty degrees plus with a liberal layer of suntan
cream. Not this
shoot. The weather
was cool with a
chilly wind that sent
people searching for
tops plus making
the targets unpredictable.
However, this did not
worry recent member to
the club David O’Sullivan
who High Gunned the
100 target event with
John Pethybridge & David O’Sullivan
a nicely shot 100/100.
Our congratulations go to David and
the other winners: AA Rodney Kneipp
95/100, B Ian Latter 96/100, 2nd B
George Bailey 94/100, C Andrew Burley
83/100, 2nd C Norm Simms.
In addition to our 18 skeet Shooters,
five shooters took the opportunity to
sharpen their skills at Trench for a major
upcoming tournament. Our thanks go
to Coordinator John Pethybridge and
Mat Dwyer with providing us with a
trouble free,

Hot conditions
suit Terry Walls
at Wangaratta
A hot days shooting at the Wangaratta Clay Target
Club still encouraged 45 keen Down the Line shooters
to attend the January DTL Championship event. The
club ran two 50 target events, which seem popular with
shooters and considering the uncomfortable weather
conditions, some excellent results were achieved.
The 10 tgt eye opener resulted in 7 possibles shot. The next event
a 50 tgt Single Barrel Championship was taken out by AA grader,
Terry Walls with a perfect tally of 50/50 and 2nd place by David
Luelf on 49/50. John Gemmill won A grade with 49/50 and 2nd
by Ben Antonello with a score of 47/50. Local enthusiast, Neville
Bussell won B grade by shooting 47/50, ahead of Jim Kelly on
42/50. It was great to see lady shooter Jo-Anne Ford win C grade
on 36/50, with 2nd place won by Ian Fraser on 29/50.
The next event was a 50 tgt Double Barrel Championship which
saw Terry Walls win again with the very impressive result of
201/201 very well done! Neil Cracknell kept up the pressure
throughout the shoot off, taking out 2nd with another brilliant
score of 200/201. Considering the oppressive heat of the day,
these results were truly remarkable. A lot of sweat would have
been expended shooting under these conditions and concentration levels tested. Roy Ellis shot 60/61 winning A grade, ahead
of Kevin Kirley on 59/61. Top lady shot, Shawnti Coolahan shot a
perfect 50/50 to win B grade, ahead of Neville Bussell on 48/50.
Another expert lady shooter, Inge Esplin won C grade on 45/50,
just ahead of Jo-Anne Ford with 44/50.
High Guns were presented to Terry Walls as overall winner on
109/110, Ladies to Emma Cox on 103/110, Juniors to Mitchell
Iles-Crevatin 104/110 and Veterans to David Luelf with 107/110.
Daryl Hunt was also presented with a plaque for achieving the
2011 Champion of Champions DTL High Gun award.

Best Ballistic Performance Steelium Pro Barrels
Steelium technology is a unique manufacturing process that transforms the special tri-alloy steel into an
exceptional barrel. Along with deep drilling, cold hammer forging and special vacuum distension, Steelium
creates the ideal characteristics for the best ballistic performance available today.
Steelium Pro marries the benefits of the Steelium Technology to a new barrel internal profile. The result is a
creation of a progressive conicity that allows the DT11 to set new performance standards.
The new Beretta DT11 barrels boast a new internal profile with a unique, progressive conicity resulting in:
• REDUCED MUZZLE RISE
• REDUCED PERCEIVED RECOIL
• IMPROVED PATTERN
Other Features:
• 3mm Wider Action Allows For Improved
Weight Distribution and Balance
• A New Ergonomic Top Lever
• A New Safety/Selector Switch Allows For
Easier Trigger Removal
