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

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.

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. Canberra businessman, Steve Balogh, Big Billy

Congratulations must be given to all concerned
with the recent Championships at the Melbourne
Gun Club. 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.

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

Shoot M8rshal1, Frank James, calls on shooters to "back
up" promptly on Double Barrel day.
Cousens' final score in winning was 167/167.
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.

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.

For the first time ever, the Womens Section was run as a
separate 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 . The winner this year was WANGARATTA GUN CLUB.
Representing t h e club were Tony Penney, Dick English,

High gun for the team developed into a battle between Billy

hand to take the coveted Qold Cup.
Then followed the International Terns Match between
Australia, New Zealand and the United States. The five

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! !!!'.
There was an entry of 444 for this event and some of the
minor shootoffs were held over t i the following morning.

Just 12 targets were required for the result. First to go was
young Victor Burgess of Cobar from the 1Qm mark then
followed in quick succession, Rod Collins, Laurie Hull Adrian
Cousens (Skeet winner), Ron Briggs and Harvey Potts. Then

Della won it from the 18m mark and took home the $5000

The meterage division winners show in the results summary.
In the ladies division, Helen Briggs put together the &ly
5W50 6win and Howard Durbridge had to survive a shoot-off
to take the veterans at 54/56. Young Viotorian, Chris Vandenberg also had to shoot 64-65 to take the Junior division.
The all important teams match for the Glenn Cup followed
and it was the Kiwis who set the pace. 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.
Also finalised was the interstate Trap Teams Match. This
was won by Western Australia by one target from Victoria
and New South Wales. W.A. were represented by DarreLl

Chairman of the Sporis Advisory Council, Mr Jim Barry,
performed the omcial opening of the tournament. 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.

In a most professional prosentation by Arthur Higgins,.
Sports Editor of GTV9 and after some hasty figuring by
penciller Hawkins, we had the High Gun winners.
- In another break with tradition 'ihe Brownine Hieh Gun
was allowed to be won wain by the same uerbn.
So. dmwt ten Years to the dav-when he won his first Hish
h . a t a ati ion is it was Jim Gjlis of Canberra who w&>'h<
top man. Jim's score for the overall was 4811500. He also won
the J. Newton Thomas Chpand capped off a wonderful April
in the shooting world. 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.
The veterans High Gun was won by Ted McRae of New

Ctun Award.
Of some consolation to the Juniors was his aartine statem ~of t'you will be pleased to know that this &my l&t year
as a junior', oh the reokless urge to grow old!
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.

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

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'.
The last guest "left" soon after 1.00a.m. on April 25, and
another most successful championships tournament had
drawn to a close.

LAURIE CONNORS
WINS PRESIDENTIAL
BALLOT
Staff writer
Following a turbulent period durxng which the Australian
Clay Target Association has had five changes of President
since mid-1980, Mr Laurie Connors was officially elected to
the top office at an Executive Committee meeting held in
Melbourne on Anzac Day.
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.

New Faces on Executive Commitee
At the 1981 Annual General Meeting, three new appointments to the Executive Committee were announced. They

CONFUSING WARM-UP
TO NATIONAL TITLES
LOCAL SHOOTERS SHOW LITTLE FORM BUT
NEW ZEALANDERS SERVE NOTICE OF A
WlNNING STREAK
In indifferent weather and with attendances down the
Victorian Clay Target Association pre-national carnival at
Melbourne Gun Club had few surprises.
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. He ran a fine 80180 to take the

INAUGURAL FIELD & GAME
TOURNAMENT HELD AT WAGGA
by Brian Kilpatrick
saturday the 14th February, marked the inaugural Field &
Ciame Tournament held at the Field & Game Ground Wagga
N.S.W.
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.

BINDERS FOR
STAITEMEMT FROM MANAGEMENT
COMMI'FH'EE...
With regret we have recently accepted the resignation of the
Executive Director of our Assmiation.
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.

The weekend started with a 10 Target Double Barrel Eye

and shared in the dividend.
The next event was the Blue Manna Distict Double Barrel in

Bunbury Mayor Mr Pat Usher. Seven shooters scored the
possible and after shooting off, David Kevill of Cunderdin was
the winner with 50-50 from Tim Katling of Katanning with
49-50. They took first and second respectively in A Grade. The
winner in B Grade was Ron Baker of Geraldton from David
Slee of Albany. Bunbury's junior shooter Michael Griffiths,
won his second sash in a week when he took out the C Grade
section with 24-25 from Eric Chapman of Boyup Brook with
23-25.
In the Blue Manna Single Barrel Championship, 52 shooters lined up, with Collie's Max Cubic being the only shooter to
score 25-25 and take off the sash. Neville Hyder of Bunbury
was the 3 Grade winner with 23-25 and L. Strojek of Collie
won C Grade with 21-25.
On Sunday the Blue Manna District Skeet Championship
attracted a field of 68 shooters in which only one possible was
scored, in ideal conditions. Grant Hyder of Bunbury was the
successful shooter, with another Bunbury member Frank
Ward taking second place after shooting off with 24-24. A.
Wellington of Geraldton was third. Mrs Beryl Marney of
Bunbury was the best woman shooter with 21-25 after
shooting off with Beth Catling of Katanning and Barbara
Smith of Edgehill. Michael Griffiths shot another good score
of 23-25 and won the junior trophy.
The Skywest Airfare was contested by 65 shooters over 20
Targets Single Barrel in which four possibles were recorded.
Ross Silvester and Kurt Schinzig, both of. Bunbury were
among the four to shoot off for the airfare, which went to
Kurt when the three others all missed their first target. Ross
won the A Grade, David Slee of Albany the B Grade and John
Griffiths of Bunbury was the C Grade winner.
The main event was the Koombana Cup of 30 Targets
Double Barrel in which six possibles came out of a field of 68
shooters. After shooting off, the Cup went to Katanning

Many months of planjning, fund-raising, and loads of plain
hard work were rewarded at 1 p.m. on Sunday April 12th
1981, when the Member for; Dubbo and the.leader of the
N.S.W. Opposition Mr John Mason, officially declared the
h b b o Gun Club open. The new grounds are situated on the
Mendman Road about 18km north of Dubbo. B d t on 30
hectares of level open country, the grounds comprise a large
brick clubhouse, with ahowers, septic facilities and a modern
kitchen. Three D.T.L. layouts are currently operational with
provieion for seven to nine further layouts. The scrub and
aardwood trees on the northern boundary provide an ideal
site for future simulated field events.
Having deoided to move from it9 old 'Terramungamine" site
in 1978 the committm looked at many sites and finally local
farmer Keith Simmons was a ~ n m h e bv

and construction of the clubhouse and tracks commenced in
late 1980. Club member and local builder Max Perring gave
his flupport and knowledge and direoted the operation. Many
local tradesmen and volunteers from the club worked hard
under Max to complete the grounds. Local carpenter John
Knight spent many hot summer days working on the site.
Club President Murray Roberts also spent all the sohool
Chrietmas holidays working on the site as well as nearly
every day since then for some period of time. Local business
houses supported the Club by

possible.
The late President of the A.C.T.A. Mr Ron Porter had
accepted an invitation to oven the club and m u d s and it was
wit6deep regret that the news of his death was received. Local
Member of Parliament Mr John Mason had been invited to
attend the opening and he agreed to open the grounds. In his

speeoh Noel Southey p u l e mention of the emotional and
ill-informed attacks on the legitimate ownership of firearms
by the media and he hoped that W Mason would take the
opportunity to see how responsible firearm ownership was
orgsnised. Mr Mason in the opening speeah made mention of
the need inthe community for firearm education and how the
Dubbo Gun Club and other bodies could play a part in this
education. He expressed the opinion that this would be of
more benefit than harsh legislation.
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. Atter the oMcial opening Mr
Mason and other guests then watched the shooting for some

time. The opening of the Dubbo Gun Club presents a
landmark for shooters in the Western Zone of N.S.W. The
potential of the club for future expansion together with the
accommodation and tourist facilities already available in
Dubbo, make Dubbo an ideal site for the State Grounds.
Situated aa it is in the middle of N.S.W.the committee feels
that this conoept must have some merit. The commitbe of the

"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,

RAWKESBURY GUN CLUB vs
SYDNEY GUN CLUB
FIVE MAN TEAM SHIELD
HAWKESBUBY GUN CLUB
At a recent skeet shoot, held at Wawkesbury Gun Club, the
new Vice President of Sydney Gun Club, Con Diamond, was
chatting with Hawkesbury President, Peter Hunter and the
subject of Team Shoots arose. 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!!

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.

TWO DAY CARNIVAL
AT ALBANY W.A.
(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:

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.

miserable. 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

enjoyable and very succesful shoot.

The carnival comprised the four most sought after Stale
Championships. the double barrel. singla barrel. points score
and skeet with these events also being the elimination [bl' Lhc
State Team.
We were honored to have the then National President. the
late Ron Porter in attendance. Ron made the lrip to Pert,h lo

most prestigious shoot of the year.
The shoot commenced with the State Skeet Championship
which was sponsored by Eley Ammunition. Arter a lcnsc
shoot off. Geraldton shooter Andy Ferreo. emerged as tlrt!
winner. Andy took home a gas barbecue.
By now. it was apparent that the Geraldton s11oote1's wc1.c
going to be prominent in thc winner's circle as proven by tllc
Points Score Champion. Dick Burton. Dick shol Lhc only
possible of 150 points.
Sunday commenced with the Winchester sponsorerl 1)oublc
Barrel Championship. After 158 targets the State Director ol'
Coaching. Tim catiii'rig stood on the victory dias. being pushccl
the distance by Wayne Pilkington.
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. Bruce
Wellington gave evidence that he will be around in the
winning circle in future years.
At this stage, the ladies must be thanked for their kitchen
efforts. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Winchester 25 target Skeet title after a tense shoot-off with
Adrian Cousens. It seems the trap hot-shots all like to have a
go with the skeeties.
Russell Mark, the 1981 Double Barrel champion ran a good
third i n this event.
. Willett won his title from a field of 226 starters and
Whittakers was top in a field of 141.
So, with a lay-day on Good Friday, competitors made final
preparations for the 'big one', the 1981 National Championships. The seven big titles were up for grabs and there
were a lot of keen shooters ready to go.
