AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS-JUNE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S NOTES WOW! Has clay target shooting arrived! Let's look at the list of achievementsin the sport over recent weeks. Mexico - Benito Suarez International Tournament, which is one of the world's top tournaments; saw Jim Ellis win a Gold Medal in the Olympic Trap event. His team mates also shot well. Rumbel carded 102 in trap and Hale 191 in skeet. Meanwhile, back home, the Australian Trap and Skeet Championships were conducted at the Melbourne Gun Club in Victoria and attracted over a thousand individual contestants. Included in the list of competitors were contingents from America and New Zealand, and a sole entry from New Caledonia. The extent of media coverage for the tournament was also a record. National television news reported some of the action, and personalities featured regularly in newspaper and radio reports. To a large extent, this was due to the professionalism .&'splayed by the tournament Publicity Manager, Pat Browne, who worked tirelessly to provide all the necessary data. Soon after the conclusion of the Nationals, which was celebrated at a top class d i n e r dance held at a swanky Melbourne restaurant, the Executive Committee elected Laurie Connors as the 1081 President. Roy Holtfreter is his deputy. Laurie has twice previously been National President, in an acting capacity, and therefore comes to the top office with a great deal of experience. Good Shooting, Noel J. Southey 0 PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL NUMBER ONE Staff Writer Late in 1979, the Associ?,tion's Executive Committee decided to introduce a premier award which could best be described as "the knighthood of clay-busting". It was named THE PRESLDENTLAL MEDAL, and was to be awarded to people whose contributon to the .development of the sport was of the greatest value. No specific guidelines were set as to the category of person to whom awards would be made, because the general feeling was that valuable contributions could be made at any level. The maximum number of awards to be made annually was set at tlwee, to protect the integrity of the Medal. 1980was the first year in which nominee's for the Medal were considered, and a decision was made to make no presentations in that year. Then, earlier this year, immediately following the tragic death of Ron Porter during his term as National President. the Management commit& met urgently and declared that the Presidential Medal Number One should be awarded to Ron Porter posthumously. The basis for the award was the total and completely unselfish dedication Ron had shown to the development of clay target shooting aince he first accepted the challange of clay target shooting in the early sixties. Since that time Ron Porter occupied many important administrative positions, from Club level right through to senior government committees. At the time of his death, Ron Porter had some unfinished projects still on his plate, amongst which was the matter of the 1982 Commonwealth Games shooting events. Another was his driving desire to further expand a "national identity" wit& the Australian Clay Target Association. Despite these "unfinished" projects. Ron's track record was a very impressive dooument, and left the Management Committee in no doubt as to the decision regarding the Medal. (Most of the story df Ron Porter's contribution appeared in the Memorial Supplement which was included in the April issue of Clay Target Shooting News.) However, the next problem was to decide how to handle the presentation of the Medal to the Porter family. The answer to this problem was found when advice was received that Mrs Muriel Porter and her family were planning to attend the 1981 Australian Trap and Skeet Championships. Agreement was reached that the presentation would be made during the Prizegiving Banquet, which was held at a leading Melbourne restaurant at the conclusion of the championships. Part way through the presentation of High Gun Awards, Fresident Laurie Connors called the Porter family to the stage, and presented the package which contained the beautiful gilt Presidential Medal, together with a replica to Mrs Porter. In accepting the award on behalf of her late husband, Mrs Porter showed remarkable poise and made a sincere plea for total support for Ron Porter's concept of a united national structure for Australia's booming sport. The audience of overf400 people gave the Porter family a standing ovation as the group returned to their table. The cased medallion was proudly shown to many of the guests by Mrs Porter, and great interest was shown by the international delegations from U.S.A. and New Zealand. '0 A photograph of the presentation appears in the colour supplement, oontained in this issue.

AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGETSHOOTING NEWS-JUNE - - (03) 63 7841 42 43 Page 3 Over 4000 competitioxs do battle fox the six major Azlstxalian titles. DAY 1, SATURDAY, APRIL 18, It was go from the very first shot fired in the 1981 Nationals series. An amazing 409 shooters lined up to contest the 12th Australian Skeet Championship. The attendance was a trend that continued right through the series, this Skeet number exceeding the previous best set at Griffith in 1979 by 148. In perfect conditions and shooting over seven grounds at the immaculately prepared Melbourne Gun Club, Vince Borg of M a m n i Gun Club, Sydney, fired the first shot to get the Nationals under-way. Control of the series was vested in the hands of Tournament Director Brian Clark and Shoot Marshalls, Frank James and Leon Gibson. From the outset the competition was fierce. There were 40 possibles in the first round. It was also obvious that sheer weight of numbers would preclude the finishing of the event in one day. Fancied starters, defending champion George Biggs and ISU skeetie Ian Hale were in immediate trouble, both dropping a couple of targets in the first round. But as the scores started to go up in the second round there were some big h m e s showing. Guy Beddigton of NSW posted the first 50 followed closely by Adrian Cousens of Victoria. Cousens was considered around the ground as a form shooter. John Woolley, current New Zealand Skeet Champion was next, and a highly fancied shooter for top bonours. Angelo Zapalla, a Queenslander and Veteran Ray Melville from NSW were next followed by Ken Lowry who was also fancied.

Their success certainly demonstrates the potential of the sport and the need for even more facilities. I continue to be astonished at how competitors sacrifice their own chances in order to referee and officiate for their fellow competitors. Usually officials oiiiciate and competitors compete and never the twain shall meet. For shooting, being competitors themselves, the officials know their needs and, if possible, arrange programs accordingly. In other sports, the contestants are often treated as a logistic problem there to provide the officials with a reason for existing and nothing else. I must also add that I have been associated with a whole range of sports in Australia one way or another and, although I know he has his critics, Noel Southey stands head and shoulders above his contemporaries as by far the most conscientious and efficient sports administrator its been my good fortune to meet. The Melbourne Gun Club was beautifully presented, everyone was most friendly as usual, the "Rembrandt" was the ideal location for the "Finale" dinner and, as usual, Melbourne's weather was nigh on perfect. The only disappointment we had as a company was our lack of outright winners. Last year, we made a big fuss about how many winners shot with ELEY despite our problems in Perth. At Melbourne, more shooters used ELEY and invariably we had a good representation in the shoot-offs but only Jon Whittakers took a title. So, after all the furore in 1980, 1 came up with a little egg on my face. It's not the first time however, and I suppose it will not be the last, but we are hoping for a little more luck in Brisbane and so that shooters such as Doug Smith, Richard Dean, Warren Charlton, Graham Willett, John Woolley, Trevor Reschke, John Eddy, Darryl Wiese, Ray MacDonald, Ian Hale, Graeme Boyd, Alex Crikis and Greg Woodbine - all top men every one will agree and avid ELEY users - come through with more than one title between them. As it was, Trevor Reschke, Graham Wlllett, Greg Woodbine, Peter Lorrnan and Jon Whittakers were all chosen for in fact, ELEY shooters the Grand American won four of the places in this team. This time, Brian Mark has no need to present his bicycle to the local orphanage. The product we were very pleased with. We brought two of our technical people out to the site to talk with shooters and discuss their needs, but generally the new loads and packet presentation were very well received. Our major problem now is supply, but the tap can be turned on with everything checking out so well in the only place which matters, out on the shooting apron in competition. New products which have been on the drawing board for some time will now be released immediately. We are about to market a LOWNOISE, FIELD & GAME cartridge for use at clubs where the doise factor is a problem and for general use in the field and simulated field layouts. Our people have worked very closely with the FBG Association in developing the specifications and we feel sure all into this aspect of the sport will welcome our innovations. Our other new member of the range is WIDESPREAD. This is a softer shell with a special wide spread wad which can be used by those wanting a quick spread for closer range shots. These two additions will just about complete the range for ELEY shotshell - nonetheless, we will not be satisfied until we regain the position ELEY once held on the Australian marketso a true alternate can be offered to the products of our American and European competitors. - AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS-JUNE Page 5 NATIONALS '81 (Cont'd) lles and his mate Bill Attwood weighed in with 50's and so did Roger Wasley from New Zealand. Overnight then, with the event running into Day 2 there were 1 0 possibles. DAY a, SUNDAY, APRIL IS, With weather holding, and with a 9.30 am start to tidy up the odd ten or so squads from the previous day, the Skeet match continued. Just one more possible 50 was posted in John Summers and the 11 squared off for the shoot-off. First to go was Guy Baddington of NSW who lasted just five targets, and two targets later Angelo Zappala put his gun in the rack. Bill nes made it to 6 1 until a high 4 got away from him and in the same round Ray Melville slipped up. John Summers and New Zealander Roger Wasley were also early casualties. The shoot-off,with tension mounting then ran to 67 targets when Ken Lowry had some trouble with a low 6. Bill Attwood in very good style went on to 116 before he dropped one. Steve Balogh a 38 year-old businessman from Queanbeyan/ Canberra then stuck it out with Cousens and Woolley to 139 when he too succumbed. A high 4 caused John Woolley some faster heartbeats in the sixth round but apart from that it was very good controlled skeet s h w t i i from he and Cousens. Ironically it was a low 6 that caused the problem for Woolley in the seventh round and we were left with the 12th Australian National Skeet Champion in Adrian Cousens. Cousens, a 33 year-old transport manager from Bsirnsdale in Victoria and his trusty cut-down Browning A grade shot Win: 275 Skeet shells to win the championship. I-Ie ran fifth in Perth last year and this win is the culmination of a lot of hard work in his 8 year shooting career.

Ladies honours were with Deserie Huddleaton we knew her in last ?rear's Perth Nationals as Wakefield - with a fine score of 47/50. Ray Melville with the only 50 in the Veterans division was tops there and young Bruce Wellington of Qeraldton in WA survived a shoot-off with Barney Rooke's daughter Maree to take the Junior Division 56-60. The International Teams Match against New Z e W which followed resulted in a win for Australia. Fine 25's from Cousens, Attwwd, Lowry and Summers and a trip-up on three targets by Balogh left Australia with a score of 122-125. The New Zealanders, despite 25's from Woolley and Wasley had too many missed targets by Viscovich, Peterson and Savage and finished with a score of 120/125. Day 2 contiued with 685 shooters facing the traps in the 27th Australian Single Barrel Championship, an attendance that exceeded the previous record by 154. But the going wss tough with only 22 of the 695 posting first round possibles. Witb the big turn-out it was obvious that this event alao would run into a second day. As scores were posted in the second round it was obvious that there would be very few possibles. F i s t to put a 50 together was Bai-ry McDonald of New Zealand. He shot in Squad 1. Then came Greg Woodbine of Queensland and Trevor Reschke of South Australia. Jon Whittakers, double barrel winner from Griffith in 1979 put his 50 up in q u a d 38 and then the bottom dropped out of it and there were no more who could go the distance. - Cont'd on page 12 Page 10 AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS--JUNE EXCLUSIVE TRlUS HOLOOWN ANCHOR HIGH-ANGLE CLIP ATTACHMENT CAN -THROWING ATTACHMENT The Trius Trap is 'The Original Foot Trap" and the only one with these exclus~vefeatures: High angle clip, can thrower and patented ground anchor.

With the Single Barrel hanging over into day three and nominations pouring in for the Double Barrel to follow fog set in disrupt the tidying-up of the event. But, around 8.00 am the shoot marshalls were able to get under way. The SB shoot off was somewhat of an anti-climax.First to go was Tevor Reschke who dufled his very first target. Just two targets later it was Barry McDonald of New Zealand who put hie gun in the rack then at four, Greg Woodbine from Queensland let one slip by. This left John Whittakers with only the fourth target to shoot for the championship. We did so and the very elated 37 year-old grazier from Deniliquin in NSW had a Single Barrel title to add to his Double Barrel win at Griffith in 1979. And so to the Double Barrel Championship, the one that all who aspire to greatness in clay target shooting are looking for. With a field of 800 it was a title worth winning. It was also a sight to be seen, with Melbourne Gun Club strained to its limits to handle the huge field. It was also some sort of minor miracle that, with superb co-operation and good marshalling. the first 50 targets for the whole field was completed in the one day. When the dust had settled here were just on 70 possibles, a figure some said was a bit low considering the entry. Tidying up of the Single Barrel was in progress whilst the Double Barrel got under-way. 'A' grade winner was the runner-up to Whittakers. Greg Woodbine of Queensland Larry Feutz, a young New Zealander who was having a g o d first visit to Australia grabbed 'B' grade honours. He ran a 'score of 49/50. A score of 46 was all that was needed for Chris Corderoy of N.S.W.to take 'C' grade honours. Nanette McCailum. 47/50 was the best lady, Peter Sheridan, whose 48 made him the best Veteran was joined on the same score by Patrick Calandro to win the Junior section. Sheridan is from S.A. and Calandro from Victoria. DAY Page 12 The fog closed in early on Monday morning. However, officials dedded to start soon after 8 a.m., and competitors got a good look at the black targets against the white backdrop. DAY 4, TUESDAY, APRIL 21. With the weather still holding, the dozen squads of possiin the Double Barrel from Day 3 lined up to sort it out. It ble~ was to be a long shoot-off with many chances. By mid- . morning it was down to a squad consisting of Jack Henwood and Trevor Byrne of Victoria, Kevin Gittings and John Maxwell of N.S.W. and Greg and Ken Stevens of Queensland. The score ran easily past the 150 until the first of the Stevens in Greg let his 174th get away. He was followed by Gittings at 188.Past 200 and Ken Stevens had trouble with the 211th leaving Maxwell, Henwood and Burne to battle it out. They cruised along to 400 arid it looked as though it would be a repeat of the Rgan~CharltonmaTathon in 1973. But the vagaries of clay target shooting popped up once again. John Maxwell let both barrels go at the 40lst without a result. Then Jack Henwwd did exactly the same thing on the next target leaving Trevor Byrne to shoot it to become the 1981 Double Barrel Champton. He did so. But once again controversy reared its ugly head as spectators and officials decried the use of the public address system during the latter part of the shoot-off. Whilst the incident was not as dramatic as Perth in 1980, it is sure to be discussed for a long time into the future. Being all 'A' graders the result were decided on this filial shoot-off for all positions in the Overall and that g~ade. Earlier on, the 'B' grade had also been settled with Wayne McFarlane ef New Zealand running to 81-92.'C'grade was won by Jan Schuster, 13 year-old son of Eurocut boss, Dieter Schuster. It was his first National series and he was delighted. Defending champion from 1980 Russell Marls put a 50 straight together to win the Junior championship whilst another Henwood in Sam, ran to 68 to take the Veterans division in the open event.

Forty four ladies faced the traps and it was June Gawith of Jeparit, Victoria who was the victor from Helene Dittmer of New Zea.land. Christine Wakefield of ldiidura took third place. Gawith shot a score of 51/53. In a sensible programming move, Slloot Marshall Frank James put the ANZ Trap Championship (Points Score) on whilst the DB shoot-off was in progress. Some 581 competitiors had nominated for this one and it was vital to many of them for their place in the Mackintosh T e d . 1k was about this time in the program that some of the less fancied of the competitors started to emerge. So it was that 'B' grader, Benni Scotta of the Veneto Club in Melbourne put his 50 first barrels together and then held off a challenge from fellow 'B' grader Peter Lorman and 'A' grader Dick Piotrowski to take the title. He held it together for nine targets to fin& with 177/177 points. Piotrowski had to settle for 'A' grade honours with 1761177 and Lorman who pulled a second barrel on his very first target was 'B' grade champion on 1521153. Chris Corderoy of NSW gained 'C' grade honours with 1451150.Putting together a consistent strlng of results in the ladies sections was Nanette McCallum who with a score of 14'71150 took that trophy. On the same score in the Veterans &v,hion was Peter Caddy of Barmera S.A. to win. Rusty Mark made it two in a row in the Juniors with a score of 1491150. In conjunction with the points score was the Alan Brown Teams Match. Teams of club registered shooters, no more than five per team, compete with their. smres being aggrep t e d .

Then followed the International Terns Match between Australia, New Zealand and the United States. The five hot-shots from the DB did the honours for Australia. Trevor Byme, Jack Henwood. John Maxwell, Greg Stevens and Kevin Gittings put together a score of 2441250 to win. It was a new format for the Double Rise, 25 pairs with two visits to the traps. From the start it was obvious that there would he very few high scores. In the &st round there were some very long faces as scores were posted. It looked as if the lone 47 on the board would win it for a young 'B' grade farmer from Marybomugh in Victoria. Adrian O'Connell. There came another however and in a tight tussle that went just five pairs it was 'A' grader Bill Jones of Illawarra who had to settle for the 'A'grade only and leave O'Conndl with the overall. O%onnelI's final score was 63/70 and Jones won 'A' grade with 62/70. John Farmer on 51/60 was the 'B'grade c h m pion, he is from Morwell in Victoria and Tasmanian Bill Richardson grabbed 'C' grade honours with 43/50. Peter Caddy was the top veterh on 39/50 and 42/50 was enough to get the Junior trophy for Steve Schonenberg of Queensland. United States visitor Donna Urling, who incidently was in Perth last year, put a score of 41/5b together to clinch the ladies crown. There was a fair amount of talk around the ground about the quality of the targets and much shaking of heads. One hot shot was seen wandering away from the bar muttering..'fancy missing seven first targets..I don't believe it! I don't bloody well beilieve it! !!!'.

A 20 target match for 6 shooters from each country shot in two visits of 10, they had it shot to pieces in the first visit when they ran it clean. Their team of Mabe (20), Pratt (IQ), Sampson (20). Clark (20), Cook (ZO), and Woolley (20) were too good for the Australians and won by one target. Australia was;represented by Scotta, gable, Dean, Lorman, Maxwell and Piotrowaki.

On his righf is National President Laurie Connars. Wiese, Tim Catling, John Eddy, Wayne P i l k i i o n and Ray MoDonald. Their score was 1231125. Alm in the tight schedule of the final day was the very first Comark Deauville Doubles Match. Forty two family pairs faced the traps and it was the father & son combination of Pud and Victor Burgess of Cobar in N.S.W. who shot the only 20 and took home a skeet gun each with the compliments of Commercial Marketing. And so to the final event, the Champiop of Champions. We also lean on the old hackneyed phrase bat its 'hard to keep a good man down'. From a field of 541 it was the evergreen Ken Lowry of Melbourne, Victoria who put it aU together in an abbreviated version, survived the shoot-off and won. Abbreviated, because due to the aheerweight of numbers the event was shortened to 20 targets each of DB, SB and PS. Evergreen, because Ken Lowry is no stranger to Nationa3 wins having several Skeet and Double Barrel titles to his name. In the shoot-off, Lowry ran his five targets of each discipline straight to finish with 125t125. 'A' grade honours were left with Ray Morrhson of Victoria on 1471150 and l3' grade was won by Peter Willett of Victoria with 1211125. Another Victorian, Greg Schier on 98/100 was the %' grade champion. Nanette McCallum continued on her winning way and put together 901100 for the ladies title. Alex Bremner with a fine 951100 was the Veteran top gun and Chris Warren only missed the 2 points to card a OSllOO for the Junior title. So, as everbody rushed away to get to the final presentation night at Rernbrandt's Restaurant, d m finally settled on Melbourne Gun Club where every attendance record in Australian Clay Target shooting had been broken. We had six new National champions. All that wm left to do was to honour the High Gun winners and wend our weary way home. i ! QUEANBEVAN GUNS AND SPORTS CENTRE 59 THURRALILLY ST.

He had just returned from the Benito Juarez Games in Mexico where he had won Austraua's first ever s h o t m n g Gold Medal in top International Competition (a full report on this feat will follow at a later date). Nanette McCallum topped off a great Nationals Series with a double in the Ladies High Gun Section. Her scores 455/500 (overall) and 4181450 (trap only) gave her both titles. It is a long time since we haw seen anybody but a Wakefield up there on stage. The overall Trap High Gun award went to Greg Woodbine of Queensland with a .score of 4501488. He went home with a $650 knife with the compliments of Puma. Points Score winner Benni Gcotta with 4211450 was 'B'grade High Gun and Rodney m t ' s 4041450 was the best in 'C' grade.

So as the dust settled and the weary competitiors and officialsdid their best to get out of Melbourne with a hostess strike in full swing the time had came for a look at the whole series and what we left behind. There can be no doubt that the Nationals were the biggest ever. It will be many years before the attendance records are broken. The Melbourne Gun Club grounds were in wonderful condition and the supporting facilities were well provided.

AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS-JUNE But there was no doubt that these fadities were strained to their absolute limit. An aggregate attandance of 4159 for 8. week of shooting is jugt too much for any gun club to handle. It seems that clay target shooting is fairly and squarely at the cr-roads. Where it goes from here is anybody's guess. Decisions made during the Nationals on the political side have left a lot of the observers such as me just a little puzzled and it will be interesting to see if the sport can keep the momentum going. 0 .

AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS-JUNE PRIZEGIVING BANQUET IS GREAT FINALE TO '81 NATIONALS. Staff Writer After the last shots were fired in the 1981 Champions of Champions Cup event at the Australian Trap and Skeet Championships, competitors and friends rushed from the shooting ground to prepare for the social event of the year. The "Prizegiving Banquet" was about to commence, and all the guests wanted to be present when the action started. The venue was the top-class outer suburban restaurant known as "REMBRANDTS, and the car parks filled rapidly as over 400 guests poured into the place. Mr John Lopes, a part-owner of Rembrandts, was on hand to ensure that all the last minute arranzements were completed and held a 10 minute staff brief& at which the 60 waitresses, stewards and supervisors were given final instructions on their duties throughout the night. Guests were greeted by a glittering display of the trophies to be presented later in the evening. The trophy display was highlighted by very effective floodlighting and was flanked by gleaming models of new aircraft to be introduced by Air New Zealand and Ansett Airlines of Australia later in 1981. After complimentary sherries, guests were seated at carefully arranged tables, and were introduced to the compere for the evening. Mr Arthur Higgins, from the National Nine T.V. Network. A three course meal was provided anc! despite the fact that the main course was delayed almost an hour (not the fault of the restaurant staff) the food was of a very high standard. The premier award of the night was undoubtedly the high grade Browning shotgun, donated by F.N.Sports of Belgium through its Australian agents, Winchester Australia, Pty. LM. The Browning is accompanied by the J. Newton Thomas Cup, and is the most prestigious trophy of the tournament. 1981 is the first year where the restriction on the number of occasions that the award can be won by any one person had been removed, and it was disappointing to find that the winner, JIM ELLIS, was unable to attend the dinner. Consequently, Mr Ross Baillie, Managing-Director of Winchester Australia Pty. Ltd., had to make the presentation to a "phantom" recipient, a situation which should not have developed. (It should be noted that Jim Ellis had been home for only one day after his four weeks tour to Mexico before attending the Nationals. Furthermore, his wife, Ann, had presented Jim with their second daughter just prlor to Jim leaving for Mexico, so there were mitigating circumstances attached to his non-attendance at the presentation). The Trap High Gun Awards were then presented, with the 'A' Grade trophy being a valuable PUMA Presentation Knife, gold plated and a beautifully hand engraved handle. The trophy had been donated by Eurocut Pty. Ltd. (importers of Rottweil cartridges) and was presented to the winner, Greg Woodbine (of Queensland) by that company's Managing Director, Mr Dieter Schuster. Laurie Connors presented the 'B' and 'C' Grade High Gun Awards (Toshiba stereo equipment.) to Benny Scotta of Veneto Gun Club (Victoria) and Rodney Hart of Tasmania respectivelv. Page 20 The two ladies awards - donated by Eley and Mrs Muriel were won by Nanette McCallum of Tasmknia. The Porter trophy donated by Mrs Porter was a 22-piece Memory Lane tea set, valued at $250.00. The Eley award was presented by Ron Clarke, General Manager of Eley Ammunition. This was the seventh time the Perpetual Trophy had been presented, and was the first occasion that Deserie Wakefield (now Mrs Huddleston) had not won it. The junior award, the Everett-Attwood Cup (donated in 1980 by BiLl Attwood of Australia and Trevor Everett of New Zealand to promote junior competition) was presented to winner Russell Mark by past President, "Tup" Pedersen. Unfortunately, neither of the winners of the two veterans' awards were present to receive their trophies. The Cec Herbert Cup had been won by Ted McRae of New Zealand, who had left earlier to board an Air New Zealand flight home. The other award had been donated by Fred and Val Horton of Sydney and was won by Bill Wickham of Echuca (Victoria). - AIR NEW ZEALAND TEAM AWARDS During the Nationals, an Australian team had been selected to compete at the 1981 Grand American Tournament. The team was announced at the Prizegiving Banquet, and a presentation was made by Geoff Johnstone, Air New Zealand's Melbourne representative. In making the announcement,Mr Johnstone commented on the close relationship that had been developed between his airline and clay target shooting, and wished each team member well in his overseas competition. The team will be amongst the first to be carried aboard the new Air New Zealand 747 Super B's, due to come into service in July. The team consists of: Graham Willett, Victoria Peter Lorman, Northern Territory John Maxwell, New South Wales Greg Woodbine, Queensland Trevor Reschke, South Australia It should be noted that Peter Lorman is the first Northern Territory shotgun competitor to be chosen to represent Australia overseas. WINCHESTER TOURNAMENT The 1980181 series of the Winchester Tournament was concluded during the Nationals, and the presentations to the overall winners were made by the Advertising and Sales Promotion Manager of Winchester Australia Pty. Ltd., Brim Mark. The winners were: Overall, Graeme Appleby, Tasmania Ladies, June Gawith, Victoria Veteran, Ray Melville, New South Wales Junior, Grant Osborne, New South Wales After the awards were presented Brian entertained the large audience with one of his extensive repertoire of jolres after which the crowd was encouraged to 'wme and dance'.

After a series of three tied ballots, the decision was resolved by drawing a name from a hat. This is the second successive occasion that the Executive Committee has had to resort to this means of determining a ballot result, in connection with the office of President or Vice President. (Mr Connors was elected Vice President in Perth in March 1980 after a tied vote with the late Ron Porter.) Mr Connors had twice been thrust into the position of Acting President in the past eight months and therefore is quite experienced in the top role. The other nominee in the ballot was Mr Roy Holtfreter, of Northam, Western Australia, who was then elected Vice President. M r Connors comes to office at a critical time in the progress of clay target shooting, as the Association is facing some severe growing pains. His most pressing and immediate problem is to recruit a replacement for the Executive Director. whose resignation becomes effective on June 12. is calling for applications for the following positions. 1. Shooting Team Manager 2. Shooting Team Coach 3. Administrative Assistant Further information is available from the Administrative Fyshwick A.C.T. Applications close on June 12, 1981. Another quite serious problem is that of finding a path through the economic obstacles created by the refusal of the delegates at the Annual General Meeting to approve a fee increase for 1988. This is also of criticd importance+becausethe decision comes at a time when a number of the Association's development projects are at an advanced stage. A good example of the type of project which could be seriously affected by the rejection of the fee increase is the novice coaching scheme. KAVIENC GUN CLUB New Faces on Executive Commitee At the 1981 Annual General Meeting, three new appointments to the Executive Committee were announced. They were: M r Darrell Wiese, Western Australia who has replaced Mr Robin Bailey. Mr Bailey was forced to resign due to pressures arising from his new business in Perth. Mr Jim Scott, New South Wales has taken the place of Mr Arch Role of Yamba. Mr Rowe had completed over ten years service on the Executive Committee, including the last four years as Chairman of the Rules Sub-committee.Mr Rowe will continue to Chair the Rules group pending a reorganisation of the Associatiop's technical arm. Mr Rowe was awarded an Honorary Life Registration for his service to the sport. M r Robert Parker, New South Wales who after some years as firstly the Secretary, then the President of Queanbeyan Canberra Gun Club, has joined the Executive Committee m place of Mr Len Bird, who had retired.

The Carnival ran from April 14 to 16 with a good sprinkling of Double Barrel, Single Barrel, Points Score and Skeet events. In a 50 target pre-nationa3 DB, the first event scheduled it "3"Grader was a Kiwi who took the honours. Running 64/64, Larry Feutz of Canterbury notched up his first major championship win. The 33-year-old Mead te Piriata club member took the title from a Flld of 85 shooters, Harold Hawking being the runner-up. Two names that will probably feature prominently in the women's and junior sections over the Nationals in June Gawith from Jeparit and Christine Wakefield of Mildura surfaced for the first time. They took the Ladies and Junior trophies. The 25 target SB event that followed saw a win to Bruce Jennings (30130) of Warmambml. He was showing good consistency in the shooting, coming into the big one. It was the long and short of it in the 25 target skeet championship later in the day. Local stockbroker Mal Hastie ran 41 straight to outlast the evergreen Jim Blythman from Mildura. Most shooters were having a little trouble with the black targets against a heavy overcast sky. by Pat Browne NEW ZEALANDERS DOMXNATE DAY e Skeet maestro John Woolley served notice that he was in great form when he out-shot Graham Willett in the Eley 50 target pre-national skeet tournament. He ran a fine 87/87in a field of 105 shooters to take the title. Willett was to make amends in the big trap event on day 3. Woolley, fresh from his Bronze medal in the British Grand Prix in late 1980 and still keyed up from his fine win in the New Zealand National Skeet was keen to notch his first Australian Skeet title. The Eley 50 target PS that followed saw another win to the Kiwis. Murray Cook with the only possible (150/150)was the outright winner. Coolr, from Ashburton has been shooting very well looked to be in fine form for the big nationals program. Australian shooters will remember his fine win in the National Double Rise at the last Brisbane Nationals in 1977. Fie won from a field of 44 shooters. LOCAL SHOOTERS EMERGE ON DAY 3 Two names that emerged from the Griffith Nationals in 1979 popped into the winning lists on day 3. The tussle in the National Double Barrel between Jon Whittakers and Graham Willett will be remembered for a long time. However they both ended up winners this time but in different events. Willett, the "shootinest stationmaster" from Seymour held off a determined bid by Domenica Diaz to win the final location venue of the 1980181 Winchester Tournament. His score of 123-123was put together under very trying conditions. Whittakers, the 1979 Double Barrel champion showed us a different side of his talents.

The Competition attracted an exceptionally large entrg from all over N.S.W., also Victorian entries from Yarrawunga and Wangaratta plus a strong representation from the A.C.T. Under the guidance of Wagga Filed B Game President. Tony McKowen, the day's competition was smooth flowing without any apparent Trap malfunotions or break downs. Congratulations must be extended to Tony and all who volunteered their labour and time to make this first Tournament such a success. Catering and amenities, available to the crowd of approximately 130, were excellent and could possibly only be surpassed by the scenic location and excellent set out of the shooting grounds itself. The hospitality extended to visiting shooters was such that is rarely encountered. The events were shot under ideal conditions, sunny and warm with a 26 Target eye opener heading the list, followed by the 50 Target Winchester Tournament. It was encouraging to see a father and son situation exist because of the under 18 and under 15 years events. Also Lady competitiors were apparent, while the Veterans Division, no doubt, proved the theory old guns never die. At the conclusion of the Presentation, a Bar-B-Que dinner and refreshments were available. A most enjoyable time was had by all. General acceptance to the first Field & &me was excellent and most are eagerly awaiting the next N.S.W.Tournament at the Castlereagh Field & Game Ground in the near future.

Noel Southey feels that to stand by his principles and maintain his integrity, and enable the A.C.T.A. to keep operating in a progressive manner he must resign. He has found that bemuse of a clash of personalties with some members of the Executive, past and present, he believes his position untenable. There is no doubt in our mind that over the past several years, Noel has brought our Association from obscure sport management to probably one of the most recmgnised organisations, publicly and with StatelFederal Government Departments. Our present financial stability to date, can moatly be attributed to his dedication and responsible approach to his job. He has shown the ability to handle a top executive pcwition and still be able to relate to State, Zone and more hportantly club management level. However, it is not our intention to let our past gains be lost and we have already taken steps to rectify the position. SIGNED L. G. CONNORS - President R. M. HOLTFRETER Vice-President P. F. T.

The weekend started with a 10 Target Double Barrel Eye Opener in which seven shooters were on target with 10-10 and shared in the dividend. The next event was the Blue Manna Distict Double Barrel in which six possibles came in. After shooting off. Robin Bailey of Perth took the sash and A Grade trophy.

Three D.T.L. layouts are currently operational with provieion for seven to nine further layouts.

Local carpenter John Knight spent many hot summer days working on the site.

M r Mason also made mention of the fact that the club had constructed the grounds without any assistance from State or Looal Government. He admired the self help spirit and felt sure that this would stand the club in p o d stead for any future applications for grants.

AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS-JUNE time. The opening of the Dubbo Gun Club presents a landmark for shooters in the Western Zone of N.S.W.

The book is distributed by Eley Ammunition and is available from then1 or the ACTA Merchandising Division. Price is $5.00, inc111ding postage. 0 "TRAP & SKEET SHOOTING" by Qeorge Biggs ' It is very rare for one to be able to review a book and talk to the author at the same time. But when George Biggs handed me a copy of his work "Trap and Skeet Shooting", I was able to sit down and have a long talk with him about it. It is also nice to be able to look at a 'first' in any field and in this publication we have, in my opinion, the first definitive book on the sport of clay target shooting in this country. In 64 pages, George Biggs has distilled 40 years of experience and technical know-how into a form that will be invaluable to both the beginner and the experienced shotgunner. It is written in a very easy and relaxed style that will appeal to all who like to just pick up a book and browse. Experienced gunners, however, will find that chapters on particular problems are easy to locate. The book is profusely illustrated with both line drawings and photographs, the line drawings being of superb clarity and very informative. In the foreword by Dr Raymond Young, very well written incidently, he sums up George Biggs' career from the point of view of one who has been helped in his clay target shooting by a good coach. . Dr Young's quote of, "there might be a few men with greater technical knowledge, several who can equal his ability with a gun, and one or two with a greater record of success. I am quite certain however that there is but one man with the honesty and altruism of George Biggs who so willingly makes himself availableto the beginner", sums up the George Biggs' style in a nutshell. George himself then traces the history of clay target shooting from the 1860's in Europe and America to the present day in Australia. In this introduction he draws on history that very few shotgunners would know. It makes fascinating reading for all of us who have a love of the sport. The chapter on the old 'Nobel Clay Bird Gun Club', the daddy of the sport in this country, is remarkable as an historic insight into the beginnings of our sport. But then George is in to the things he knows best. All the little points that go towards m a ~ i n you g a better shotgunner, whether it be over the traps or in the field. Re starts with the basics of gun fit and mounting then talks about stance, sight alignment, the need to lead the moving target and the necessity of swing through. All of these subjects are covered in a succinct style that is easy to read but full of solid advice and information. Very sensible advice on gun selection and barrel lengths follow and the whole section is full of very good illustrations and photos to reinforce the points that George makes. The best in-depth treatment of Australian Trap Shooting I have ever read follows and George applies the previously discussed basics to this game. Each lane is discussed and analysed wit11 excellent photos and illustrations to back it up. Skeet shooting gets even better treatment. George has a leaning towards this discipline and has made a deep study of the techniques required and it shows. Again the discussion is excellent and the illustrations and photos superb. This section is required reading for anybody who has an urge to shoot skeet and anybody who has a problem with the game. He winds up the book with a brief discussion on cartridges and reloading together with a list of excuses commonly used by clay busters. One has a feeling that if they could digest all of the information that George Biggs has put between the covers of this book there would be no need for them. To my mind, Dr Young sums the book up very well in his final thought in the foreword when he says, "Therefore, AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS-JUNE MODEL "C'(01 IhMEC BW Jr. 7W Varumr.

Agreement was quickly reached on the need for clubs to associate more often on the level of competitive shoots, such as Team Shields. With two weeks notice it was agreed that the two clubs would run a 50 target graded trophy event with a five man team shield conjointly, plus other supporting events. . The committees of both clubs were unanimous on their decision to run the event, even with such short notice. The programme for April 11 was decided on as a 15 target cash-divide,a fifty target graded trophy, and a 25 target point score championship, with points to count to a high gun. The high gun prize was destined to be aSanyo Stereo System, with twin speakers, AM-FM RadiolCassette and the mass of buttons' and switches which confuse everybody! The amount of organising that goes into a large event is a nightmare at best but in two weeks from inception to completion it was more like being inside a food blender. However, the new committees of both clubs had decided to run this event well, and with all shoulders to the wheel it turned out not well, but bloody terrific!! A Credit to them all! In two weeks people printed circulars, built playgrounds, mowed lawns, ordered steaks, salads, made cakes, washed, cleaned and repaired club houses, traps, and amenities, ordered trophies arid engraving and organised all the small things that continually keep cropping up unexpectedly. The weather was kind and the day was near perfect for shooting, slight overcast, mainly sunny with a slight breeze. F'ifty five shooters started in in the first event and the great number of possibles indicated that the great High Gun Trophy was going to be hotly contested. The fifty target graded trophy event was next, with the Team Shield riding on it and in short order it was evident that competition was super hot. Hawkesbury fielded four teams, the Bandits, Bushrangers, Mafia, and the Winchester Wombats. The Wombats were a last minute scratching due to Frank Smith, Winchesters State Manager, having a bad arm. There is a lot of conflicting reports, but it appears Frank is alright, and won't tell anybody how his wife beat up on him, or how the horse kicked him, how the other bloke is, or how his karate lessons are going or how many steps there are at the local pub! Sydney Gun Club fielded three teams consisting of some of the States best shooters. Unluckily for these great shots it was not to be their day. The Hawkesbury Bandits ran in 2471250 to out pace Sydney 2441250. The Bandit members were; Kevin Bosanko, Brian Naylor, John Agius, John Vella and Pat Muscat. Sydney's Team was: Warwick Valentine, Mario Galli, Louis Abela, Warren Every, and Vic Borg. The overall winner in the event started with an eight way shoot off which finally went to Louis Abela with 1441144,with John Vella on 1431144. The 'B" grade shoot off went to John Desanti 74/74 with Frank Pace on 73174. The "C" grade went to John Carruana 50150 and Bob Hardy on 49150.. All in all top shooting from all the qualifiers. By this time of the day it was rapidly getting dark, so it was B.B.Q. time and with Kevin Bosanko manning the cooking machine it was steaks and salad all round. Page 42 from Peter Hunter The ladies rallied to run the canteen and dispense plates, salads, tea and coffee etc., the B.B.Q. d i n e r was an unqualifi@ success. These lovely unsung heroes in any event really did a superb job and the committees of both clubs truly thank Mary Vella, Kerry Hunter, Val Smith, Mrs. Ron Dawson and all the other ladies that pitched in. After dinner the Lights over the traps were turned on and it was 'on again' for the Point Score Championship and final event on the program. The Overall winner was Chris Davenport 74/75 Sydney Gun Club and 2nd 'A' Con Diamond Sydney Gun Club 73/75. 'B' J. Allotta, R. Dawson, "C" J. Carruana. J. Wooton. This event determined the High bun and Chris Davenport took it out by one point. Chris was a little surprised he won and was delighted with $300 of Stereo equipment. The Presentation saw a,ll the recipients state what a good day it was, or rather day and night, They also commented on what a great social event it was with the accent on family involvement, and amenities to cater for all ages. It was a night to see over fifty shooters with their wives, girl friends and family sitting down to a beautiful B.B.Q. dinner and enjoying each other's company .and "being there" was what it was all about. Ron Fenton, Sydney's President, and Peter Hunter, Hawkesbury's President, at the Presentation of the Team Shield and badges promised all present to do it again in a club tea effort on September 5th at Sydney's ground at Menai. If you want to see what a shoot is all about, what the sport is all about, how family's should be involved, , BE THERE!! Sydney Gun Club, September 5. For Hawkesbury & Sydney G.C.'s . P.O. Box 129. RYE. 3491 4-5-81. Mr N. J. Southey. Executive Director, P.O. Box 198. BLACKBURN. 3130. Dear Noel. In my capacity of assistant shoot marshal1 at the 'PreNationals'. I was waiting to referee a shoot-off when i t was necessary for me to leave. I asked for a registered refelteefiom a large group of shooters to take my squad. After asking four (4) times. a replacement appeared. At the same program, a registered referee was heard to say "why me, that's the second time". It has always been my thought that to k a referee was admitting interest in the sport and a willingness to assist in the running of shooting programs. I notice in your June Newsletter that all referees' must be re-tested, so lo all unwilling referees. I would like to say "1F YOU DON'T WANT TO PULL YOUR WEIGHT IN OUR SPORT OF CLAY TARGET SHOOTING. DON'T TAKE THE TEST BECAUSE IT IS HARD ENOUGH TO 'BUSTEM' WITHOUT HAVING TO CHASE THE REFEREE." Yours sincerely. Norm Quick. MIN 010471. AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS--JUNE .

(Club Publicity Officer) The Albany Gun Club conducted a very successful Carnival on Sat. and Sun. 24th and 25th January. 48 Shooters competed in the two events held on the Saturday with perfect weather conditions prevailing. The first event was a 30 targets points compulsory division (graded) and resulted as follows: " A Grade. 1st. David Kevill (Northam) 90190 John Kevill (Northam) 89\90 Tim Catling (Katanning) 88190 " B Grade. 1st. Colin Hinkley (Narrogin) 90190 Merv Lubcke (Albany) 84/90 83/90 Merv Neve (Kalgaorlie) "C" Grade. Elliott Harris (Cunderdin) 86190 Margaret Slee (Albany) 79/90 Tom Abbott (Albany) 77/90 EVENT 2. DISTRICT DOUBLE BARREL CHAMPIONSHIP "A" Grade. 1st. John Kevill 2nd. David Kevill 3rd. Max Cubic '3"Grade. 1st. Colin Hinkley 2nd. David Slee (Albany) 3rd. Merv ~ u b c k (Albany) e 26/29 "C" Grade. 1st. E. Harris 24125 25127 2nd. J. Nottle (Albany) 3rd. M.Playne (Albany) 24/27 Trophies were supplied by Boans of Albany who, over the past, have given this club a great deal of support. It was interesting to see Elliott Harris making his presence felt in these two events as he is only a junior shooter and apparently only been shooting since August last year. From all accounts he is going to be some competitionbefore too long and, with a father like John Harris to guide him along, we all wish him well in the future. Sunday morning at 8.30 the prestige event of the 2 days, "The Albany loo", got underway with 54 shooters all a little worried about the weather which had made a dramatic change. Dark clouds strong winds and the odd shower made conditions a bit dicey. However the locals were used to these conditions and did not appear unduly concerned. Visitors were frequently assured during the day it was only "another clearing shower". Well, the weather may have been cool, but the competition was hot over the four visits to the traps and when the smoke cleared at the end of the day. Darryl Wiese (Narrogin)was " A Grade and overall winner for the second consecutiveyear with 1091113. Wayne Pilkington (Perth) was second with 1081113. " B Grade.

A big thanks to Elaine and her small band of workers in the kitchen.for keeping everyone fed over the two days and Jean and Margaret in the office. Special thanks to all the shooters who travelled large distances to make this a most enjoyable and very succesful shoot. 0 PERTW GUN CLUB HOSTS THE 1981 'WACTA CARNIVAL By Westie On February 28 and March 1, the inaugural WACTA State, Carnival program was conducted by the Perth Gun Club.

The final event on the program was llle Single Barrel Championship and as a fitting reward for his efforts in making the trip from Victoria. Bill lies became the 1981 WA Single Barrel Champion. Few people have contributed more to the game than the State Skeet Team High Gun winner. Roy Holtfreter. Roy has given his all to the spbrt at a state and national level for many years and it was pleasing to see him p t some reward for his untiring efforts. The Ladies Skeet Team posted a very creditable score and for the second year in succession Perth member Margo Kennamer was once again Team High Gun. In the Trap Team, Tim Catling showed the way by shooting 150 points. thus becoming the Trap Team High Gun. In the Ladies Trap Team. Helen Wiese proved that husband Darryl is not the only competent shooter in their family as she was team High Gun. In the Junior Trap Team. young Geraldton shooter.

Without their support, clubs could not operate. Club President. Rod Franklin. presented the tophies and thanked all who had attended. The weekend concluded with a barbecue and refreshments and those who participated left the grounds feeling that the weekend was an enormous success. 0 AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS-JUNE International Shooting Scene TRAINING CAMP The training camp planned to be held at the Griffith Clay Target Club late in July has been abandoned. This action has been forced on the convenors because of an inability of $he Coaching Directors in two States to attend, together with a general disenchantment with the choice of venue. Thedecision was one of the first that newly elected National President Laurie Connors had to make. He said; "It is. disappointing to have to abandon this project, which had been given a high priority by the International Sub-committee,but the difficulties being encountered in getting people to attend have placed the success of the project in jeopardy." The next meeting of the International, Sub-committee is scheduled for early July, when the matter of fixing a new date will be considered. BENITO WARE2 TOURNAMENT In spite of the excellent performances recorded by Australian shwters in the 1981 Benito Juarez tournament held in Mexico, no report has been submitted for inclusion in "Clay Target Shooting News". From an editorial (and promotional) viewpoint, this is extremely disappointing, as the Gold Medal won by Jim Ellis in the Olympic Trench match deserves better coverage. Surely the International Sub-committee should consider delegating the responsibility of reporting through C.T.S.N. to the 11,000 Association members who keep putting up a proportion of the money. to a particular person in EVERY touring team. AUSTRALIAN TEAM TO COMPETE IN U.S.A. An "AIR NEW ZEALAND" Trap team, will again be entered in the Grand American Tournament in U.S.A. this year. The team was chosen at the 1981 Australian Trap and Skeet Championships and inciudes the following:- Peter Lorman, Northern Territory: Greg Woodbine, Queensland: John Maxwell, New South Wales: Graham Willett. Victoria: Trevor Reschlre, South Australia. The Captain is Trevor Reschke. who is also a member of the Association's Executive Committee. The team will fly by Air New Zealand's new 747 J h l m to Dayton (Ohio) in August to compete in an international match. 0 . .

AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS--JUNE Editor's Mailbox Dear Sir, Could I have a little spa& in your MAILBOX Section? I notice in your Mailbox section, letters from a "Shooters daughter" J. Brennan and A. R. Jamieson on the subject of Veteran, Super Veteran status, for older Members of the A.C.T.A. This is a well worth while idea to allow many older shooters an opportunity of further day busting, but a careful perusal of the rules would show, that the one demanding 30 years continuous membership, before being accepted as a Veteran, would exclude just about all the older shooters in Australia! Going back 30 years, what clubs were shooting clays? Most were of the live bird variety and it is pretty certain that very few, if any, were members of the A.C,T.A. IN THOSE DAYS. Live bird shooting was made illegal around 1954-55which is about ,26 years ago, well under the 30 years stipulated as continuous member of that body. There is so much merit in the idea,of Veteran status that the A.C.T.A. SHOULD immediately make it all possible as a happy alternative for the oldies to enjoy comradeship and shooting for at least a few more years remaining to them. So many have given unstinted support in the fields of club administration, working bees, for decades. Presidents, secretaries, committeemen so many unsung sportsmen have given way to the younger generation or "progress" still wanting to help and shoot, but fmally realising retirement looms inevitably. The A.C.T.A. can do a great service to these men. Surely a reward such a s a Veteran's badge would encourage them to shoot on. Many still do of course, but there must be a lot of shwters in a similar position to "Shooters Daughter" who would be encouraged, and should he,to shoot on, as a Veteran with all the benefits that go with it. The A.C.T.A. should revise the rules so that age, and age alone, be the only requirement needed for entry. possibly by endorsement from the shooter's own Club. Those clubs at present allowing Veteran Status are to be congratulated wholeheartedly, a good beginning, but please let it be open to all who can qualify as aged Veterans and not to a priveleged few. Yours Sincerely. (J. G. CAMPBELL) Mt GAMBIER GUN CLUB. . . m e . P.O. BOX 905 TOOWOOMBA 4350. A.C.T.A. Dear Sir, Can you help me to obtain an upto-date copy of the ISU Rules of Skeet, please. I want clarification,,in particular. of rule 3qb) as it appears in the boolclet "ACTA Association Shooting Rules January 1973." I was refereeing a squad in which one member broke both of the targets in a double. on three consecutive occasions. I was told that this should be scored lost and lost(0 and 0).I replied that the only rules which I had. gave the shooter one more turn, and that then he would be scored "dead and lost" (1 and 0). No more was said, but after the match a Brisbane shooter approached me, to tell me that Brisbane had an ISU Referee for Skeet in the southern hemisphere, and that the correct ruling for the situation outlined above was "lost and lost". I said that the book said "dead and lost". He replied that the rule had been changed. Now how in the name of all that is holy, can a referee function in that sort of situation. If one cannot go by the written word, then it is impossible. Referees have a difficult enough job as it is. Surely it is somebody's business to see to it that the shooting public is kept informed of that sort of thmg. and somebodies business to see to it that someone does keep everyone informed. This letter is for publication. A. D. MYLNE. I BE KNOWN AROUND YOUR CLUB 1 THE DESK OF THE NORTHERN TERRITORY COACHING - - - DIRECTOR (By Kevin Bowring) The TOP SHOT.the one who consistently occupies a place on the Podium. is t h e o n e who makes the fewest mistakes. This fellow has. after years of practice. reduced shooting to a few vital basics. One of the most important basics was highlighted during the Coaching Council Meeting in June, by an outside speaker. Mr. Brian Nettleton. Senior Lecturer in the Dept. of Human Movement Studies at Melbourne University. It cannot be stressed too highly. that the shooter must recognise the target and its speed and direction at the earliest possible instant after it leaves the trap. Brian has been invoked in studies with ball sports, which indicate that the most important area of a target (balj's) flight is the first li3rd of its travel. and successful footballers can carry out all the preparations for interception and further action from the information gained by that first 113rd movement of the target. Just to verify this has an application at the trap. I carried out some tests of my own. One of our Iocal trap layouts. which is only used at night. is lighted in such a way that the first 10-12 feet of a target's flight is not illuminated. Then the target suddenly appears. brightly glowing. two feet or so above the traphouse and with a fair headstart on the shooter. Scores on this trap are consiktently below that achieved on traps lighted in conventional manner - back-marker scores. where early identification of the direction and speed of the target becomes critically important if the target is to he intercepted beforc the pattern of shot is dispersed. For example. a 25 metre shooter must have fired to make an interception of the target 81 15 metres from the traphouse. i.e. 25m plus 15m equals 40111or about maximum range at which a broken target can be guaranteed if the pattern is precisely directed. Bcyond this range. holes in the pattern reduce hit probability rnnrkedly -so. il the target is identificd and its direction and speed established within 15 feet of the first sighting. then on the first mentioned trap (trap "A") that point when theswing gets under \way will be 12ft ptus 15ft or eight metres from the traphouse, leaving seven metres in which to track. pass and shoot at the target. T h e conventionally lighted trap (trap "3")for comparison. _gives an advantage of a further 3-4 metres or a 50% improve~ncnt in time and distance to achieve a bit. Scores havc proven beyond doubt lhat the first 10 or 12 feet of a target's flight is critically important t o perfect scores. On trap " A shooters regularly "stab a t the tnrget. The smooth swing and follow through is lost. Logically. if we go back to the 16 metre mark. the shooter has approximately 19 metres of the target's flight to smoothly track. pass. shoot and follow through. \vhich gets back to the main reason for fucussing your attention where the target will be spotted at the earliest possible instant after ir leaves the trap - t o give more time for a smooth swing and follow-through and to eliminate the error of lifting your head or eyes when the target suddenly appears outside t h e area of your concentration.
