It is with great sadness I attended on behalf of the membership
of the Australian Clay Target Association the funeral of
Mr Douglas Wilkin Smith (Doug Smith) who passed away
on 7 December. It was an honour and a privilege to be there.
Doug will be remembered as a great and loyal competitor
who was respected by all. The thoughts and sympathy of all
clay target members is extended to Doug’s family and
friends.
-oooOoooThere has been some misinformation disseminated regarding the new clothing rule that
has come out of the ISSF meeting in Germany. The rundown re the rule is in this CTSN
however in short, there is a dress standard required when competing at events that are
qualifiers for overseas competition, as example, State, National or international ISSF
events. This does not mean that at local club competition, competitors are required to
comply fully with the ISSF clothing policy. The status quo remains for those competitions,
however for the major events competitors are required to comply.
It would be remiss not to remind all members that there is an expected dress code as well
for all disciplines. Please contact your club secretary if you are unsure.
The ACTA Coaching Committee, chaired by Mr Dave Howe (Northern Territory) is
presently assessing applications that were submitted for the National Coaching Director.
Unfortunately at this time I and the Executive Committee haven’t had a recommendation
made as to whether there is a successful or suitable candidate; however the membership
will be made aware in the next CTSN.
The Executive Committee has also been busy preparing for 2014 to complete their
requirements in the ACTA 2014 Business Plan. Some committees are well into tasks
allotted to them and I thank each Executive Member on behalf of the membership. As
provided to you before, this plan is incorporated into the ACTA budget and allows for a
clear financial and methodical approach to complete ACTA business requirements.
Taking the association even further into the future is the work conducted by the Executive
Officer, (Tony Turner), ACTA office staff and ACTA member Mr Frank Auditore. These
people have been working tirelessly to improve and incept a new ACTA database relative
to member information, membership renewals and other computer orientated functions.
It is time, the membership steps into the 21st Century. We are already a tenth of the way
through and we still have a manual membership renewal system! This new system, to
be implemented in 2014, will be an exciting advancement for the association and I wait
eagerly for it to commence. Some club secretaries and members may oppose the change
from the old manual system that operates today, however the ACTA needs to progress.
This is a great start.
Another issue that I reported on previously is the provision of club articles for the CTSN.
Some club secretaries or media officers are still providing hand written or typed copy to
the ACTA office. The office now has the approval of the Executive Committee to return
these to the authors for provision to the ACTA in electronic format. Staff presently spend
numerous hours retyping club and State reports and by making this change, their time can
be allocated to other functions.
Finally, I thank all members for their constructive feedback as to the conduct of the
association in 2013. This has helped the Executive Committee and myself immensely.
I look forward to speaking to you and as many other members as I can in 2014,
commencing with the National ISSF Carnival at Whiteman Park in Perth in January.
At the time of writing we are fast approaching the Christmas and New Year break. I hope
that you and your family had a great holiday (if you had one) and see you next year!
Stay safe!

Executive Officer’s Report
It is now 2014, all memberships were due and payable by the
1st of January. Please ensure you have a receipt from your club for your
payment as you will be required to show proof of membership if you do
not have your 2014 ACTA Membership sticker. For the safety of all
members please ensure your membership is paid prior to shooting.
The ACTA Executive has decided on a number of important initiatives
to ensure the Association moves forward. The first is the implementation
of a new data base and website, which will be developed jointly and
launched in April 2014. This new data base will replace the access data
base provided to the Association by long-time supporter John Coleman.
I would like to take the opportunity to thank John for his valued
contribution to the Association over many years. John also developed
the shoot scoring system “Clay 2000” that was used at many National
events in the mid to late 2000’s. That data base however is now thirteen
years old and we require new software to enable us to capture more
information, thus enabling us to meet the expectation of our members.
The new data base and website combination will allow each individual
member to access their own personal information and change personal
details such as address, phone etc. and join/renew and pay on line.
There will be numerous levels of administration rights that will allow
secretaries of clubs to access their own member information as will Zone
and State Secretaries. Designated Club officials will be able to access
basic information such as ACTA number, Address, Club for entering
shooters in events. The information will also disclose if the member is
currently financial.
Being web based the information will be easily available to members with
internet access.
The Executive Committee also voted to retain current and long time
insurer Pollards Insurance. John Le Brasse and his staff have been
excellent to deal with over many years with claims (very few I must add)
and have dealt with them efficiently. The Associations excellent record on
safety has ensured the premiums we pay are kept to a minimum.
The target tenders and independent target testing results were provided
to the Championships Committee. The Championships Committee
recommendation was presented and accepted with VIVAZ targets given
the National Trap Championship contract and White Flyer the Skeet
contract. We look forward to the support of both Target suppliers in
2014.
We have initiated some changes in the CTSN with States now being
provided the opportunity to inform members of valuable Association
information in the same way that the ACTA do through the Presidents
column and the ACTA News area. We believe this initiative will keep
all members informed from State to National level. To facilitate these
new changes it is important to note all information and material for the
CTSN is supplied electronically. The ACTA AGM will see a number of
changes proposed to the existing Constitution in line with requirements
from the department of Justice in Victoria. These proposed changes will
be mandatory to retain our incorporation. I will detail these proposed
changes/additions in future editions of the CTSN.

but we certainly did not have to carry her
during the Team Shoot”
LORRAINE HUGHES
Ladies American Skeet World Champion
The home of American skeet shooting is
the World Shooting complex at San
Antonio in Texas, USA where
here
every September contestantss
arrive from all over the world
to compete for success over
an intense 8 days of fierce
competition.
This year saw the entries close at a
massive 880 competitors including
20 or so Australians and a similar
number of New Zealanders.
Australians Lorraine and Nigel Hughes
ghes
from Caboolture Clay Target Club in Brisbane were competing for both individual
ividual titles
as well as for the coveted husband and wife honours
honours.
On only the second day of the main competition Lorraine won
the 12 gauge Ladies World Champion for 2013, becoming the first
Australian lady to ever do so and the pinnacle of her shooting career
so far.
Lorraine was amongst those competitors to shoot a qualifying
score of 149/150 to secure her place alongside the world’s best in
the shoot-off, these were held in the evening under lights and it is
here that Lorraine went into battle against the
world’s best and most experienced lady
skeet shooters.
Without showing a glimmer of
nerves her steely determination
saw her hit pair after pair of
targets with her fellow finalists
falling along the way as one after
another they missed.
On what was to become the
final pair of the event Lorraine
convincingly demolished both
her targets with ease leaving only
one competitor to shoot her own
pair to draw level, this final competitor
hit her first target but missed her second
one immediately making Lorraine the first ever
Australian lady to win a world championship for
American skeet much the vocal delight of the supporting Australian
and New Zealanders in the crowd.
This is Lorraine’s highest achievement to date and adds the title
of ‘World Champion’ to her growing list of skeet shooting awards
including being the first lady to qualify for the Glenn trophy team
who recently successfully represented Australia in the New Zealand
Nationals recently held in Christchurch.
2013 GLENN TROPHY
Christchurch, New Zealand
2013 was the travelling year for the Australian Skeet team
who headed to Christchurch, New Zealand to shoot for the
auspicious Glenn Trophy.
The competition was held after the Kilwell event. Low light and a little
wind did not dampen Aussie hopes, with Adrian and Glenn shooting
50/50, and Dave, Lorraine and Ben all shooting 49/50. These results put
us in great stead with an overall 247/250.
The team consisted of Adrian Cousens, Ben Garraway, Glenn Clarke,
David O’Sullivan and Lorraine Hughes. We believe Lorraine is the first
female member of the travelling international Glenn Trophy Team. The
New Zealand team was made up of Steven Cooper, Tony Truss, Jamie
Peryer-Fursdon, Dean Everett and Kelvin Gutsell.
For the 3rd year in a row, the Glenn Trophy will remain in Australia with
New Zealand falling two targets short on 245/250.
5 man winning team
Big congratulations to all Australian members, and let’s make it four in
a row in 2014.
Australian Glenn Trophy team: David O’Sullivan, Adrian Cousens, Glenn
Clarke, Lorraine Hughes & Ben Garraway

ACTA NEWS
ISSF DRESS CODE
It has been brought to our notice that officials have not
been checking athletes regarding the ISSF Dress Code. From
January 2014 all athletes and officials will be expected to
adhere to the relevant Dress Code. Penalties will apply if this
is not done.
The Dress Code will apply to all Events where AISL PQS/
Ranking/Selection events. (This includes Aus Cups, ACTA
Nationals and ACTA State Titles.)
Prohibited clothing items include blue jeans, jeans or similar
trousers in non-sporting colours, camouflage clothing, sleeveless T-shirts, shorts that are too short,(see Rules 6.7.6.1 not more
than 15cm above the centre of the knee), ragged cut-off shorts,
all types of sandals, trousers with patches or holes as well as
shirts or trousers with non-sporting or inappropriate messages.
(no propaganda). Non-sporting colours that should be avoided
are camouflage, plaids, khaki, olive or brown (military colours).
ISSF juries will issue a written warning with a request to
correct clothing violations for the first violation. Athletes who
do not correct clothing violations (change clothing) will be
disqualified. Juries may allow an athlete to complete a preevent training series or stage before changing if sufficient
time to change is not available. No athlete will be permitted
to participate in a Qualification or Final round competition
or in an award ceremony, while wearing inappropriate or
prohibited clothing.
As we now have social media, websites that show athletes and
officials in action, receiving awards etc. we are seen all over
the world. Not complying with the Dress Code Rules can
cause our shooters and officials disciplinary action.
Our Part: The ACTA have not upheld our obligation to
the level we should in the recent past. Those selected in
Macintosh Teams In 2014 will be provide with a polo shirt
to reflect their selection and to also give us the opportunity
to have a “Team” photo that reflects the achievements of
those members.
I would invite all members to lift the level of their attire
when shooting and receiving awards. We know the sport is
not one where white is the best colour, all we are seeking is
clean, tidy dress.
I thank you in advance for your support. Any chance we get
to promote the sport through the media, the CTSN and on
the website should reflect a professional outlook.
RULES BOOKS
2014 Rules books are ready, the National Office will be
sending these out in the Month of January to each State, we
have a system of State & Zone meetings where distributing
the books can be easily facilitated. This will ensure those who
require the books can easily acquire them. We will have a
back-up print done for further distribution on demand. The
books have some pages allocated to take any changes that
may occur over the next three years.
JUNIOR PROMOTION
INITIATIVE
The ISSF Dress Code can be found on the ISSF website
www.issf-sports.org, or google ISSF Dress Code.
Elaine Forward. OAM
Chairman:
AISL Technical Committee
In an initiative to encourage Juniors to the Nationals the
National Executive has chosen to provide free nominations
to Juniors who have not attended a National Championships
since becoming a member. The Juniors will be given free
nominations to their chosen event in 2014. That is the ISSF,
Trap, Skeet or Sporting Nationals (All Championship events,
One Championship only).
ACTA DRESS CODE
This will allow Juniors who have not competed at a
Nationals to nominate the program they wish to shoot at
the Championship they wish to attend.
The ACTA has a Dress Code within the rules of the sport,
some of those rules appear to be contravened at many shoots.
Whilst not wanting to sound heavy handed or being the
fashion police I believe the level of dress reflects the person’s
regard to the history of the sport.
Juniors will need to nominate using the available nomination form, however will not be required to pay the
nomination fee. The free entry will still enable the Junior
to win prizes.
MARCH CTSN:
Closing date for advertising and editorial in the March CTSN

GOULBURN CLAY TARGET CLUB
NOVEMBER 10 2013
Clem Rowe - Alan Cramp Memorial
The Goulburn Clay Target Club held its annual Alan
Cramp and Clem Rowe Memorial shoot on Sunday 10th
November, in chilly conditions to say the least. Most of the
99 traveling and local competitors had the sense to rug up,
however there are always a few that get caught or just are
not aware of the notorious Goulburn wind.
De
Despite
blustery and

to shine. Father Joe

Cooper is not a

circle,on
the other hand his
younger brother William only became old enough to compete earlier
this year. The thing with clay target shooting is that age or sex does not
really matter, a keen eye, mental discipline and obviously a little bit of
raw talent are all that counts.
Whilst we all would like to think there is something magical in the
breakfast porridge in the Mooney household, I think the hard work
and training that goes on behind the scenes might be the real answer.
Cooper Mooney beat many men and women 2 and 3 times his age
(because of his ability he now competes in the open class) in 2 out
of the 3 events run on the day, he was overall winner in the 30 target
single barrel event with 50/50 after a shoot off and overall winner in
the 30 target Points Score event, again after a lengthy shoot-off scoring
141/141. This overall consistency saw Cooper take out the AA grade
High Gun for the day, winning himself a few championship sashes,
a rifle and some cash for his efforts. Congratulations to Cooper, your
efforts and training are now starting to pay off. William was no slouch
on the day taking out High Gun for his grade on the day with an

Queensland Clay Target Association
State Skeet Carnival 2013
It was obvious that Roma Clay Target
Club members had put in a big effort
to prepare their grounds for the State
Skeet Carnival. Not only were visitors
treated to a newly installed fourth
layout but the existing layouts also
housed brand new traps. Shooters
came from near and far and it was great
to see such a strong contingent from
Victoria.
The Multigauge events got underway on the
Thursday and opened with the 50T 20 Gauge,
won by Brisbane’s Glenn Walker who won
overall shooting a clean 50/50. Shane Bennett
was 1st in AA on 53/54 after a shoot off, with
1st in A grade John Rodden 49/50, 1st in B
grade Jim Storch 49/54 and Rockhampton
president Brian Muirson the C grade winner
with 44/52.
Great shooting by Caboolture’s Jaco Pieterse
saw him take overall in the 28 Gauge event with
a perfect 50/50, closely followed by club mate
Thomas Rhue who won AA with 48/50. 1st in
A grade was Neal Dimmick with an impressive
49/50, 1st in B once again was Jim Storch from
Blackwater with 46/50, and C grade winner was
Peter Ballarino shooting 45/50.
In the 410 event Jaco Pieterse set the pace
again winning overall with 45/50. First place
getters were Adrian Cousens 47/58 in AA,
John Rodden 45/52 in A, Jim Storch 44/54 in
B, and Byron Hewitt
shooting 41/50 to win
C grade. Rounding
out the Multigauge
championships was
the 12 Gauge event
which was contested
on Friday morning
of the carnival. Well
done to Antony Ballarino winning overall
with 62/62 after a
shoot off with Michael
Buttigieg who took
1st in AA with 61/62.
Neal Dimmick was
1st in A shooting
410 gauge winner
Jaco Pieterse
52/54, Dennis Savage
won B grade with
48/50 and C grade winner was Brad Bird with
47/52.
Congratulations to Adrian Cousens, the overall
Multigauge Championship winner shooting
187/200 over the four events. It was great to
see 40 shooters contest the Multigauge events
which grow in number each year, and our
thanks to the Roma club for a well-run shoot.

Overall High Gun and winner of the gold
Queensland badge, sash, prize and perpetual
trophy for 2013 was Glenn Clarke from Bairnsdale with a score of 288/292, an unbelievable 4
targets down for the carnival. Well shot Glenn,
a terrific performance against some of skeets
very best. Glenn also won the prize for the best
speech of the presentations and has definitely
missed his calling as a public speaker. Also
beware carnival hosts, the perpetual trophies
almost had to be seized from Glenn & Michael’s
luggage at the conclusion of the event.
QLD Champ C O’Neill
Jnr HG Thomas Rhue
The Queensland Skeet Champion for 2013 was
Craig O’Neill just 2 points down on 198/200.
This prestigious trophy is awarded for the
top score over the team qualifying events and
Craig was also the 2012 winner. Great shooting
Craig. Adding to his prizes for the carnival
Craig also won the AA grade High Gun with
285/290. A grade High Gun went to Antony
Ballarino rounding off a terrific carnival and
some great scores, B grade was won by Dennis
Savage and Peter Ballarino took the C grade
High Gun with 217/250.
We again thank Pat Dury for his ongoing
sponsorship of the High All Around for top
score over both the State carnival and the
Multigauge championships. Pat has a beautiful custom belt buckle specially struck for
this award and it is always highly sought after,
along with the distinctive black and white
sash. The 2013 High All Around winner was
Adrian Cousens who finished with 433/450.
Lorraine Hughes won the Ladies High Gun
this year by a loooong margin with 240/250.
Fellow Caboolture member Thomas Rhue took
the Juniors with 239/250 and Adrian Cousens
won the Veterans High Gun shooting 246/250
for the carnival. The Two Person Team medals
We would like to extend a huge thank you
to the members and committee of the Roma
Clay Target Club who were the perfect hosts
in every way. From the layouts, targets and
traps to the food and hospitality, the weekend
ran like a dream from start to finish. Club
members worked tirelessly to bring the
carnival together and it was very pleasing to
hear the positive feedback about this venue
and how much the shooters enjoyed the
relaxed carnival atmosphere and beautiful
backdrop. Thank you to Ronnie Forsythe who
ran a seamless office and had everyone well
organised, and to Tony her offsider for his help
with the Multigauge events. We also thank
Lorraine Hughes and Paul Bozier for their
assistance with the scoreboard.
Thanks also to Adrian Cousens our Shoot
Marshal for the weekend who had the competition running on schedule and without a
hitch. We suspect Adrian may have done this
once or twice before. We also appreciate the
huge effort put in by the trappers, the kitchen
and catering staff who provided 5 star quality
service, the brekkie team, bar staff, groundsmen and everyone at the club who worked
hard to help make the shoot such a success.
A big thank you too to Jaco Pieterse for the
very professional presentation photos, great
job Jaco. We really appreciate all the shooters
who travelled many kilometres to attend our
State Skeet Carnival and it was terrific to see
the number of interstate competitors who
brought their mates along and helped make it
such a great weekend.
Thank you to everyone who assisted throughout the weekend and contributed to the
success of the carnival. Congratulations to all
the winners and team members and we thank
all the competitors and visitors who came to
support our shoot. We look forward to seeing
you again in 2014.

Harry Nolan Memorial Shoot
The Forest CTC Inc held its annual Harry Nolan Memorial
Shoot supporting the cancer foundation on Sunday the
17th November at the start of the day 30 odd shooters had
arrived from various clubs, Goulburn, Cecil Park, Moss
Vale, Illawarra, NSW Gun club, Sydney and Marconi to
brave the unpredictable weather which was not looking
too bad at the 10am start time.
Around 12.00pm light drizzle had started to fall along with the temperature. Come 12.30 we took a 40 minute break to enjoy a plated
lunch provided by our lovely ladies (Karen and Val), then back to

of the days shooting we had an outright winner and no shoot offs
in any grades (how good was that). On behalf of the Forest CTC we
thank all the shooters that came along (considering the weather) and

MAJURA PARK GUN CLUB
Aust
NOVEMBER 2ND & 3RD 2013
National Capital Shoot
108 entrants; Two events over 300
break; New club long break record of
366!; A possible NATIONAL NIGHT
RECORD of 305 Straight Continental
Double Barrel; A red NSW sash and
badge for the Night State Continental
Double Barrel Championship and 11
Guns given away!
All the above wrapped into one weekend – the 2013 Majura Park Holcim
Shoot on the first weekend in November. With conditions varying from
perfect to a little testing at times,
the shoot was again a great success.
Shooters travelled from as far away as
Melbourne and Narrabri to contest the
events.
The Majura Park 2 day is becoming an event
renowned for being a great shoot with great
prizes, and judging by all in attendance
this year it continues to build and will only
get better. Shooting White Flyer targets on
Canterbury Traps, with great camping area
and amenities it is fast becoming a highlight
of the shooting calendar.
Majura Park offer 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes in
each AA, A, B and C grades of its Championship events, as well as allowing all double
barrel events to continue under lights until
completion.
One special feature of the Holcim Shoot is
the Perazzi Australia Surprize draw – where a
number is drawn out of a barrel and if your
Points Score event score finishes with that
number- you are in a shoot off for one of 3
guns- with the top prize valued at around
$3000!
Event 1 was the 50 target Falcon Cartridges
Points Score Championship – Falcon are always
great supporters of Majura Park especially
with sponsorship of junior coaching clinics.
First event up and it wasn’t long before the
wind was up testing the metal of shooters early
on Saturday. Only 2 possibles shot – one being
Bill Iles from Little River Game Ranch, one of
the greatest ever, and the other was youngster
Brody Walters from Cooma. Experience prevailed with Bill coming out on top with a great
score of 168/168.
First in AA grade in the points went to Brody
Walters with 167/168. Frazer Roberts who took
runner up with 176/177 following a shoot off
with Tony Arvanitakis, who took third with
175/177.
A Grade was won by Trevor Coutts with a
great 149/150, with Ben Murphy hot on his
heels with 148/150. A shoot off between
Anthony Gray and Gary Kennerson sorted out
3rd in A, with Garry getting home 155/159.
B Grade was taken out by another youngster
Jake Preece with 145/150 with Frank Bartolo
second on 149/159 after a shoot off with
Andrew Evans who took third with 148/159.
C grade went to young gun Max Green after
a shoot off with 143/153, his first event at his
first big competition and a great display of
shooting. Josh Wilson followed him in with
141/153 to take 2nd and then 3rd with 136/150
was Tim Shorrock.
Ladies went to Karen Berry 159/165, Juniors
was won by Jessy Ciappara 148/150 and
Veterans went to Alan Jones with 148/150.
Event 2 was the Blue ribbon event at most
major shoots- the 50 target Double Barrel
sponsored by Perazzi Australia. With tribute
to great targets and excellent competitor
skill, 108 entrants of all grades contested the
Double Barrel event with a club record of 27
shooting the possible under great conditions
after lunch on Saturday. The
shoot off would go well into
the night as with no curfew
and great lights, it was going
to be fought out long and
hard.
Four shooters made it past the 275 mark and
into these conditions, those being Nathan
Power From Narrabri gun club, Dan Power
from Majura Park, Keith Calder from Morwell
(VIC), and Luke Cassar from Cecil Park Clay
Target Club.
Nathan missed his 279th target (his new
Personal Best) to claim 3rd in AA grade. Dan
was next to go landing his 288th for 2nd in AA,
leaving Keith and Luke to fight it out.
Keith missed his 310th under lights, leaving
Luke to win his first Overall Double Barrel
sash and smashing his long break PB by more
than 100 targets. Great work Luke.
A Grade was taken out by Tim Post with a
great 88/89, second was Elton Chetcuti with
82/83 and third was Phil Tse with 77/78.
B grade was a 4-way shoot off, all on 49/50,
and another great display from Frank Bartolo
saw him take it with 67/68, Brian Frost second
with 66/68 and 3rd was Chris Weekes with
57/59.
C grade was fought out hard with 2 x 48/50’s,
with Josh Wilson winning on an excellent

As per usual the transition
period between daylight and
the night lighting taking
effect proved to be the game
changer. A special mention
must go to event sponsor Fil
Petriella, shooting over 250
straight with his 20 gauge
sporter! Great display!

score of 110/112, and Nathan Burt running
him up with 109/112. Third was again Young
Max Green with 47/50. A Tough gig in C grade
when you have to shoot better than 94% to win
any prize, hence these guys didn’t last long in
C grade!
Ladies went to Karen Kennerson on 49/50,
Bill Iles took veterans with 272/273 and Bill’s
grandson and star junior Mitch Iles took
Juniors with 104/105.
Event 3 – Perazzi Surprize Draw – At the completion of the Double Barrel but before its
shoot off started, was a special event that has
become a major drawcard to the Majura 2 Day
shoot – The Perazzi Surprize draw Shoot Off.
from Majura Park, Dan Power from
Majura Park, Bobby Smith from Majura
Park and young gun Mitchell Iles from
Little River Game Ranch (VIC).
Time ticked away and so did the targets.
A little before midnight Dave missed his
196th Target, followed By Dan missing his
227th at around 12.15am. Dan shot 563
out of 565 targets for the day but couldn’t
get across the line in any event first!
Bobby threw everything he had at Mitch.
For a guy that has shot around 6-8 times
in the last year it was a fantastic effort,
but Bobby landed his 305th target at
1.15am. This left Mitch yet another state
title and an interim Australian Night
Double Barrel Continental record of 305
straight. Even more amazing that Mitch
had never shot 50 Straight Continental
before that night! Excellent display Mitch!
A Grade was won by Kim Cox with 54/55, and
second was Brett Coutts after a shoot off 60/61.
B grade was taken out by Andrew Evans with
a great 49/50, with young Jake Preece second
after a shoot off 62/64.
C grade was taken out by the red hot form Josh
Wilson 49/50, excellent score! Runner up in C
was Nathan Burt 45/50.
This event was conceived by Fil Petriella and
designed to give shooters from any grade or
ability the chance of winning a major prize of
a Trap Gun!
Ladies was split between Trina Watchorn and
youngster Tanya Skinner with 47/50. Veterans
was won by Bill Iles 48/50 and the junior prize
went to Carter Matthews on 80/81.
Opening it up for all shooters, a number is
drawn out of a barrel between zero and 9. If
your Points Score total ended in that number,
grab your gun, you’re in a Points Score shoot
off from your handicap for one of 3 guns!
It should also be mentioned that between the
Points Score, double barrel and Continental
events that Luke Cassar set a new club record
of 366 targets, Great shooting Luke and something for everyone to aim for in the future!
This year the number 1 was drawn, and 9
shooters were entered in the shoot off., from
15 to 21.5 metreage. It took just 10 targets, and
new shooter and C grader Josh Wilson was the
proud winner of the high grade Sabatti Trap
Gun. Great work Josh! Runner Up was another
new shooter youngster Max Green winning a
High Grade Beeman Airgun, and Third went
to one of the statesman of Majura Park Gun
Club – “Gorgeous” George Kasprzak winning
another Beeman Air Rifle.
Everyone enjoyed a Roast dinner at the club
house before the start of event 3, with the old
saying “never let the truth get in the way of
a good yarn” being almost a prerequisite for
dinner conversation.
Event 4 The NSW State Night Continental
Double Barrel – got underway at around 8pm.
With perfect night conditions and hardly a
breath of wind it was going to be a tough event
to win, and the shooters didn’t disappoint.
Out of 12 squads that entered the challenging continental night event 2 full squads of
possibles came in! Great shooting.
The shoot off started well but it wasn’t long
before the sneaky low birds sent a few challengers back to the car for the night! At the 100
mark it was down to 4 shooters, David Green
14
Sunday woke to some wind and testing conditions, and a tough event to open the eyes from
the night beforeEvent 5 -The Pathway Communications Single
Barrel Championship- Barry Skinner and
Pathways have been a fantastic supporter of
the club in the past and their support will be
appreciated in the future.
The weather got the better of everyone and
4 shooters were left to shoot off for the overall
on 49/50. These were event sponsor himself,
Barry Skinner from Majura Park, Bill Iles from
Little River Game Ranch (VIC), Tony Arvanitakis from NSW Gun Club and Robert Yeo
from Wagga.
Barry was the first to go at 50/52 to claim 3rd
in AA grade. Bill was next a couple later at
51/53 for 2nd in AA, leaving Rob and Tony A
to finish the job. Tony landed one for 66/68
and 1st in AA leaving Robert the Overall
champion with 67/68. Great shooting in tricky
conditions Robert!
A grade was won by Andrew Tsolakis with
49/53 after a shoot off with Elton Chetcuti
who finished second on 48/53. Third in A
was Anthony Gray with 52/58 after winning
a 4-way shoot off!
AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS – FEBRUARY 2014
B Grade was taken out by Steve Wilkinson
with a 46/50, second was Brian Frost with
44/52 after winning a 3-way shoot off with
Janne Toynton claiming third with 46/55.
C grade was again Nathan Burt showing the
way with an excellent 45/50, runner up was
young Max Green on 42/50, holding out his
sister Rachel Green who finished third with
40/50.
Ladies went to Sam Peck with 47/50, Alan
Jones took the Veterans with 47/50, and Jesse
Ciappara the junior title with 47/50.
With the wind keeping up all day, the shooters
were re-squadded for the final event. It would
be a great test to see who could hold it together
for the High Guns.
Event 6 – The Horsley Park Gun Shop Handicap – A huge thanks to Tony and his team
from Horsley Park Gun Shop that really look
after us when purchasing prizes for the shoot,
as well as business dealings throughout the
year.
It was tough and 2 shooters managed a 49
to get themselves into the overall shoot-off
– Damien Burt from Grenfell on 19 metres,
and Phillip Tse, from Majura Park also on 19
metres. It wasn’t Damiens turn today and he
landed the first bird out (we have all been
there!) leaving Phillip the winner and his first
major win, a beautiful Browning A- Bolt Rifle.
Well done Phil!
Prizes down to 7th place meant all the 48/50’s
were in with a shot at it, being 10 shooters. A
long shoot off was required with 3 shooters
missing the same target at one stage meaning
they must continue!
When the dust settled it was Cooper Mooney
(21 metres) who claimed third with 77/79.
Fourth was Nathan Burt (15 metres) with
76/79. Fifth went to Robert Yeo (25 Metres)
70/73, sixth was youngster Billy Hunt with
76/79 and seventh went to Matt Schiller with
75/79.

the results speak for themselves.
Mitch, the car was jam packed for the trip back
to Melbourne!
Overall High Gun- The cream rose to the top
at the end and it was former World Champion

this year with an excellent 296/300, winning a
beautiful Tikka T3 rifle.
Billy said in his speech that the club has come
together in leaps and bounds over recent years.
Work on the grounds and traps shows in the
growing numbers of shooters and quality of
the scores. The club has become a favourite
for Mitchell who wouldn’t let Bill not come to
the shoot, so I’m sure Bill and Mitchell will be
back again in the future.
Great shooting Billy, and between he and

BOB WEARNE MEMORIAL
Once again, Port
Macquarie CTC held
The “Bob Wearne”

which was sponsored by his wife,
Mrs Betty Wearne.
Over $3000 and a
rifle were in the prize
pool, so shooters had
plenty to shoot for
yet again this year.
We had visitors who

shooter who shot the program.
The money was looking shaky
early on but a slight easterly saw
a target or two dropped and
the money was set aside for our
Christmas shoot. It appears that
the committee was not exactly
correct regarding the shoot the
program.
The program consisted of 50T DB, 50T PS and 25T DB Cont. It was
a program that the committee believed could result in someone

Shoot Aids McGrath Foundation
So cold, most pink was covered up by winter gear
On the 3rd November we held an event to raise money to
donate to The McGrath Foundation. The week prior Stephen
Bennett and Derry Freeman spent many hours turning the
grounds into a picture. Looked like a golf course.
On Saturday we had a few come to help set up traps and put the club
house in the pink. The weather was beautiful, warm, mild and calm.
On Sunday morning all arrived in their best pink outfits. 76 competitors took part and most looked “pretty in pink.” One comment was
that some looked like they had just come off the set of ‘Break Back
Mountain” (Reply comment, not for publication). It was great to see so
many get into the pink theme.
We had a couple of teams from our local media come to talk to people
and take photos.
Then as is typical our
Tasmanian weather
threw everything at
us. Rain, hail, wind, a
mini tornado maybe.
We had a gazebo

Cuzzog’ss
Ramblin
This month I have established another new
World Record. For the shortest gestation
period ever of a Cuzzo’s Ramblings column!
Karien and I arrived home from New Zealand
late last Thursday night to find out on Friday
that Saturday is our Christmas Shoot and
Sunday is the special CTSN deadline, which
is ten days earlier than usual due to Christmas closures. That’ll put even someone as
“full of it” as I am well known to be, right
under the pump.
old Christchurch Gun Club, which apparently amalgamated with the old Belfast Gun
Club in the mid 1990s and moved to the new
facility. Plus back then their National Skeet
Championship was still a one day affair at
the start of the Trap Nationals, the same
as we used to do prior to 1983. The new
Gun Club is very nice. Good fields, good
background and a lovely clubhouse. The
only downside is the fact that the venue’s
predominant weather is best described as
challengingly windy.
We held our own
However the Australian contingent acquitted themselves quite well. Although we
only managed to win one out of the four
“main” individual events, Nigel Hughes had
already opened our account on the first day
by winning the 28 gauge and the High Gun
shoot-off on the last day produced Aussies
in both first and second places. Well done
The leopard’s spots
Actually that wasn’t the only shock I got upon
our return. I found out that last month’s
column was substantially shorter than I had
originally submitted due to another run-in
with the censor’s scissors in my absence. It
has been suggested that I need to get with the
times and start being a lot more politically
correct and far less constructively critical!
Don’t hold your breath! As alchemists
learned many years ago, turning lead into
gold is no mean feat and similarly, in more
recent times, it has been clearly established
that creating silk purses using the “listening
gear” off porkers is an equally big ask.
New Zealand Skeet Nationals
Lots of firsts for me personally. My first
visit to New Zealand since the inception
of their separate Skeet Nationals back in
2004. And my first visit to the new Canterbury Gun Club. When I used to cross the
Tasman regularly they were still using the

Michael Buttigieg and Ben Garraway. Plus on
the Blue Riband Day we managed a “whitewash” by capturing not only the National
Skeet Championship, but the Two-Man and
Five-Man Teams events as well. Combine
this with the fact that we successfully
defended the Glenn Trophy and brought it
back to Australia and I think it’s fair to say
that they knew we were there.
50 Years on – Who shot JFK?
By the time this issue of the CTSN arrives in
your letterbox the Victorian Skeet Carnival
will be only a couple of weeks away. Recently
there has been much speculation about the
date of this event, including some intriguing conspiracy theories. Unfortunately, the
real story is far less exciting. Last year we
conducted our Carnival on the second full
weekend in February and probably would
have done the same this year if all things
had remained equal. However, the South
Australian Trap Carnival, which
is usually held a week prior to
this on the first full weekend of
February, is a three day shoot
encompassing the preceding
Friday. This year, due to the
rotational shift in the calendar,
that Friday falls on the last day
of January and to keep their
Carnival entirely within the
month of February, they moved
their date back a week to the
second full weekend.
Light at the end of the
tunnel
To avoid the undesirable situation where
two adjoining States held “premier” Carnivals on the same weekend, we simply
moved our Carnival forward a week, effectively “swapping” weekends with them on
this occasion. Unfortunately this transposition seems to have created some confusion
and inconvenience in both States to various
people who had attempted to predict the
timing of the events and plan other activities accordingly. I can empathise with these

Festive Shoot at Treloar Clay Target Club
Near Tamarang on Sunday, 8
December, the breeze was just
strong enough to blow in many
valued club members and friends
who had been absent from the
scene for a few months. They
received a warm welcome - one
and all - and proceeded to put all
their energies into enjoying the
shooting and to catching up.
It was hot. What a contrast to the Christmas Shoot in 2011 when that shoot had to
be cancelled due to flooded and damaged
roads. Now, even half that moisture
would be welcome.

people and can clearly see the need to find a
“date fixing” method which would provide
some predictability of major events and
hopefully avoid similar reoccurrences. As
I believe the ACTA is currently installing a
new and improved computer program and
website, maybe such a system is realisable in
the near future.
Fixed Dates
As most people who know me well are
aware, I am historically one of the most outspoken proponents of the advantages of fixed
dates for major events. Back in the November
1998 issue of the CTSN I even wrote a 2000
word article extolling the virtues of that very
concept, so nothing would give me greater
pleasure than to find a permanent home on
the calendar for our Skeet Carnival. Much
has also been said recently about our “sacred”
use of the second weekend in February. As
with most urban myths, although there
is a grain of truth in it, it’s actually more
fantasy than fact. Victorian Skeet Carnivals
started in the late 1970s and were usually
held in October or November. The advent
of the Skeet Nationals in 1983, which was
intended to be fixed to the third weekend in
November, put paid to that plan.
Doug was a legend in shooting circles not only for the number of titles
he won during his career but also for his dedication and enthusiasm
for his chosen sport. Doug was inducted into the Australian Clay
Target Association (ACTA) Trap Hall of Fame in 2004. He won 21
National Titles and was runner up in 13. He won 27 Queensland State
Titles and was a member of 29 Mackintosh Teams which compete
overseas.
Evicted again
Initially we moved to the second weekend
of March but the proximity to the New
Zealand Nationals probably killed that
off. Then we wandered aimlessly around
the calendar for a while before eventually
gravitating to the first weekend in May. And
to give credit where it’s due, we only secured
that date because South Australia surrendered it to us and moved their own Carnival
back a couple of weeks, but that’s another
long and complicated story for another
day. Anyway that seemed to be working just
fine until the ill-advised shift of the Skeet
Nationals from November to May in 2008,
which forced both South Australia and
Victoria to have to relocate time-wise once
again. In the six years since then, although
the month of February seems to be a “given”,
we’ve used the fourth weekend once, the
second weekend twice and the first weekend three times, or four if you count this
year. Personally I fancy the second weekend
and if I can get some moral support for that
one, I would be happy to pursue another
of my infamous “crusades” to make that
happen.

in a couple of months time.
This Month’s Trivia Question
While we’re on the subject of Macintosh
High Guns, back in my column in June last
year I published a picture of Kate Schiller
who had just won the Ladies High Gun with
a perfect 300x300, but was she the first lady
to accomplish this magnificent feat? E-mail

MENTALS SKILLS
FOR THE
NOVICE SHOOTER
In November 2103, I was invited to run
a mental skills training workshop and
coaching clinic at Mt Gambier Gun Club.
The workshop ran for three hours on the
Friday night and covered topics such as how
the brain works, goal setting, motivation,
concentration, attention, mental rehearsal, dealing with distractions
and relaxation. There were 40 participants, mostly shooters but some
cyclists, archers and martial arts athletes. The next day, with the help of
Gary Haydn, most of the participants returned and we looked at gun fit
and had some coaching.
One of the
people involved
asked me if I
would look at
writing an article
for the novice
shooter.
On the face of
it, this seemed a
simple question,
but on reflection several
factors became
Coaching taking place
apparent.
Firstly, shooting is a muscle memory sport. By that I mean it has to be
done over and over again, thousands of times before it becomes automatic. That is, before we can even start to explore the psychological
fundamentals involved we need to have the physical skills learned and
developed.
Secondly, it is necessary to have a firm grasp of the technical skills
involved. We need to know how to address the target, ie. where and how
to stand, how to swing and follow through, what type of and amount
lead is required and how to be safe.
Thirdly, our gun must fit. Too often novice shooters fit themselves to
the gun they have purchased rather than have the gun made to fit them.
In researching this article, I went through a couple of old booklets especially designed to answer the above question.
The first booklet was produced by the ACTA. An Introduction to Clay
Target Shooting: Trap and Skeet, produced by the Coaching Council of
the ACTA. No date of publication was listed. For those who remember
this booklet, it has an orange coloured cover and was about 20 pages in
length. It provided a comprehensive introduction to the new shooter
with sections on The National Coaching structure, Safety and Shooting
Etiquette, and then sections on DTL, Skeet, ISSF Trap, ISSF Skeet, Vision,
Basic Mental Approach, shooting methods and Equipment.
The basic mental approach section was just that: basic. It described that
mental approach to shooting could be described in two words: concentration and single-mindedness. It describes concentrations for the task
at hand, which is being ready for the target when the command pull is
given and completing the shot correctly.
Single-mindedness on shooting the targets you call for one at a time for
as many times as required and, letting the score and the other shooters
look after themselves.
In a very basic fashion this booklet was trying to say the following:
“Narrow your focus of attention as you call pull, stay in the present
and shoot this target. Forget about the product (score) and focus on the
process (shooting) and the product (score) will look after itself.” This was
a central theme of the mental skills workshop.
The second ACTA booklet was a little pink coloured book called The
Quick Checklist for Down the Line Trap Shooters, written by Peter
Quire, National Director Coaching, ACTA. Again there is no date of
publication listed. This was a simple but very effective little book. It
provides four sections. Firstly, before you shoot which examined aspects
such as stance, gun hold, gun shoulder relationship. Secondly, when you
shoot which examines shooting method, don’t move until you see the
target and don’t lift your head. Next, at all times which is the mental
skills section and looks at concentration. What is listed in this section is
good, simple advice. It reads:
The shooters task is to hit the next target. Targets that have already been hit
or missed bear no relevance to that task.
DON’T Count your targets.
DON’T Worry about the state of the competition.
DO hit your next target.
The final section deals with equipment and safety.
The final piece of research for this article was a booklet by IMI Australia
Ltd. Again it has no date by the title was An Introduction to Clay Target
Shooting: Hints for the Novice Shooter by Newton Thomas. Obviously, a
commercial publication, this booklet provided the novice shooter with
a wealth of information. With headings such as The sport of Clay Target
Shooting, types of shooting, equipment, Shooting stance (This has some
great pictures of Newton Thomas shooting and clear diagrams of feet
placement), Aiming (or gun hold positions), safety and finally, correct
mental approach. The advice offered by Newton Thomas reads:
In trapshooting (both clay target and skeet) the correct mental approach to
the sport is essential. This mental approach can be described in several ways,
concentration and single-mindedness being two words that most clearly show
the requirement.
The next target that the shooter is going to shoot at should be the focal point
of his or her concentration. The fact that a shooter has missed on or three
or any number of targets, or has shot them all, should not have any bearing
on the next shot.
Many shooters when nearing the end of a run of birds that if shot will give
them a possible, tend to count the targets and as they reach the last few, put
an increasing value on each target shot. Through this they they often tend
to do one of two things.
(1) Either stab at the target, shooting too early because of nervous
tension, or
(2) Holding their shot trying to make sure of it and consequently shooting
too late.
GOOD ADVICE: Concentrate fully on your own targets and let the score
and other shooters look after themselves.
For the club coach coaching the novice shooter, make sure the technical
skills are taught, get the gun to fit as best as possible, practice over and
over again, and for the mental skills keep it simple. Focus you attention in the present by shooting this target, and focus on the process
(shooting) and the product (score) will look after itself. The whole idea
of helping the novice is to set them up for success: breaking targets.
Finally make sure you are having fun.

competitors who attended the Annual
Birthday competition in Port Augusta.
Shooters arrived from Adelaide, Broken
Hill, Ceduna, Port Lincoln, Mildura,
Murray Bridge, Port Pirie, Jamestown
and Whyalla. The weather was sunny
and warm with the occasional periods
of southerly winds which presented
minimal difficulty to competitors. The
standard of shooting was of a very high
standard and presented several shoot
offs for the various events during the
weekend.
The preparation for the weekend competition
which included the upgrade of Trap one and
the installation of a new Canterbury target
machine ensured that all equipment functioned without any interruptions. The efforts
of Steve Baynes, Andrew Bury, Merv Starr
and the King Brothers ensured that the traps
and infrastructure and overall organisation
of the event functioned without incident.
A thank you to Craig Bentley for his role of
Shoot Marshall which made the competition
run smoothly, Wayne Channing for doing
the handicapping and Deserie Baynes for her
assistance to Michael Meaney in doing the
nominations, shoot squads, and keeping the

Christmas Shoot at Bega
Champion of Champions, Club Awards
There were no flying pigs, but plenty of hams changed
hands at the annual Christmas shoot at Bega on Sunday.
Frozen chickens also featured prominently as did the magnificent lunch laid out to celebrate another fabulous year.
Forty-one eager entrants ensured that the competition for the prizes
on offer was fierce, with a very good score needed to collect. As well as
the novelty type events, the Champion of Champions Invitational shoot
and the announcement of Club awards, provided a most entertaining
day. The weather god was king with only a slight breeze to help with
the targets.
The first event of the day was 10
pair Double Rise. To make it interesting, 2 pair were shot from five
different marks, commencing on
eleven metres and finishing on
nineteen metres. Some of the
more senior citizens were calling
for candles so they could see the
targets. AA shooter, Chris Davis,
showed the way dropping only
one target for a score of 19/20.
Charlie Smith, Leon Cuzner and
Steve McIntyre shot a further ten
targets before Charlie collected
second place. The young and the
not so young shared the spoils in

targets before Mario scored the chicken. John Gray showed the way in
C Grade with a score of 14/20, whilst Garry Martin and Oscar Mower
fought it out for second, with Garry being successful.
Event 2 was a 25 target Mixed event with 5DB off 11 metres 5 Single
off 15, 5 Double off 18, 5 single off 21 and finally 5 DB off 25. Great
excitement, for some of us seniors, when you actually saw the target at

25 metres. Still the shooting was good quality. C Grade went to the consistent John Gray who found 19 of the 25 targets. Second went to Garry
Martin, 23/30, after a shoot-off with Mick Diss and Col Veness. Col
Sheehan cleaned up 22/25 to win B Grade with John Walker, 25/30, surviving the shoot-off with Mario Magrin 24/30 Ray Kearns, 22/25 won
A Grade from another senior citizen, John Siede 21/25. AA Grade went
to the consistent Phil Craig who shot 24/25. This left Chris Rowland,
Charlie Smith, Phil Body, Chris Davis and Leon Cuzner to fight out
second place. Chris emerged the winner with a score of 48/50.
Lunch was taken at this stage and the usual fabulous spread, including
dessert, slowed some down for the third event, a 30 target Continental
Points Score shot off 14 metres. AA Grade went to Phil Body after the
shortest of shoot-offs between him and Charlie Smith, Phil winning
92/94 to Charlie’s 91/94. Tony Gray and Shane Platts shared the ham
and chicken in A Grade with Tony scoring 85/90 to Shane’s 83/90. In
B Grade, Keith Pearce shot a credible 86/90 to win from John Walker,
84/90. Gary Martin gathered 73/90 to win the C Grade prize from Tom
Sheehy on 71/90. Round four for the day was the Invitational High Gun
competed for by this year’s crop of high gun winners. Eight shooters
took to the trap in two squads. Charlie Smith, Leon Cuzner, Chris
Davis, Phil Craig and Stuart Bennett departed after thirty targets, to be
followed by Phil Body after sixty. This left Chris Rowland and Alf Niesar
to sort out a winner. Watched by a very appreciative audience, these two

The Baker Memorial Shoot is held to remember and

the Kempsey Club and Clay Target Shooting generally.
The shoot is considered to be one of the highlights of the
Kempsey shoot calendar.
Participants for the shoot travelled from as far afield as
Newcastle, Taree, Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie to
vie for the honour of having their names engraved on the
Baker Family Perpetual Trophy.
2013 Club Champion Stuart Bennett receiving his trophy
from Club Pres Phil Body
went target for target until Chris missed on the 120th target. Congratulations go to both Alf 118/120 and Chris 117/120 for putting on a fine
exhibition of target shooting.
For the second time in two months, James Body cleaned up the shoot
raffle, with Charlie Smith and Adam Mower collecting the consolation
prizes. Charlie topped off a good days shooting taking out High Gun
for December.
Presentations followed to round off a great year. Stuart Bennett
collected the Club Championship for the sixth year in a row,
James Body added the most
improved trophy to his growing
collection of prizes and the
Fimac Engineering Handicap
Shield went to a very surprised
Alf Niesar. President Phil concluded proceedings by thanking
all and sundry for their efforts
throughout the year before all
headed for home.
From the publicity officer,
many thanks to all members
for their input by way of
results from away shoots and
to the papers and Clay Target
for their support in publicising
the Club’s activities and thus
promoting our sport.
The normally pleasant sunny conditions experienced by
the Mid-North Coast proved fickle for our shoot. Guns
were shooting in rainy, cold, windy conditions with the
occasional storm thrown in to further challenge the
shooters. The days shooting consisted of four events, 25
Target Double Barrel, 20 Pair Deauville Doubles (Len &
Lil Baker Memorial), 25 Target Continental and 25 Target
Points Score.
Despite the conditions, Laurie Doyle shot 25/25 in the
Double Barrel event and Peter Brenton shot 75/75 in
the Points Score. The premier event was the 20 Pair
Deauville Doubles of 20m, the Len and Lil Baker Family
Memorial. This event was won by Brad Hooper and
Emily Saul, 2nd Steve Saul and William Saul, 3rd Kerry
Miller and Phil Ryder. The results for the other events
can be found in the competition results NSW area of this
magazine.
High Gun for the day went to Kerry Miller.
As usual, the ladies in the canteen provided delicious
homemade treats for those of us who don’t worry about
our waist lines. Jenny in the office ran the shoot with her
normally efficiency.
Members braved the rain to fill traps and carry out the
many tasks needed to be done to run a smooth and
trouble free day.
On another note, I am sure you have noticed the fresh
looking clubhouse, now that the interior and exterior
painting has been completed. Thanks must go to Ted and
his committee for giving freely of their time to organise
and oversee these improvements.
The club has practice on Wednesday afternoon each week
for those who wish to brush up on their skills.

Ken Gibbon
Memorial
at Tyagarah
Sunday 3rd November dawned with a promise of a hot day. The predicted temperature
must have been what made for a quiet, but
successful day incorporating the 50T Ken
Gibbon Memorial event.
With shooting starting at 11.00am the day was already
hot & sticky.
1st event being 25T PS woke everyone up quickly.
Mick Watt A was the closest to a possible with 72/75
with John Elfes B next best with 67/75. 2nd event was 25T SB, Ray
Turner AA along with Wolf Reichmann B 23/25. After 2 rounds it
looked very much like the best scorers were going to be across all grades.
With a BBQ lunch tucked away it was back to the layout for the 1st
round of 50T DB a favourite of our old mate, Ken Gibbon. By now it
wasn’t only hot but, to mix things up, a stiff breeze had come up which
played havoc with the scores. However, with the honour of having your
name on the memorial shield some reasonable scores started to appear.
Ray Turner AA lead the charge with 23/25. Others in the 20’s were Ted
Schneider & Dale Robinson both AA 22/25, Russell Bourke A 22/25,
Peter Chapman B 22/25. 2nd round saw Ray Turner AA 25/25, Russell
Winners & placegetters Ken Gibbon Memorial event
Bourke A 23/25 with the rest in low 20’s to high teens. A special mention
should go to junior Brendan Watt who is Mick Watts’ grandson.
Brendan is really benefitting from his grand fathers’ tuition & getting
Brendan experience in the art of clay target shooting. Brendan is the
future of our sport & he is looking like a champion already.
To finish off the day the 10T SB Club Mug was shot. Brendan Watt
cleaned up with an 8/10.
Following prize presentation clean up grounds everyone headed home
with a great day of shooting in mind.

2013 Mathoura Champion, Tim Maher
Friday the 13th of December saw three full squads of
shooters arrive at the Mathoura Gun Club for their 2013
Christmas Shoot. With four events on the program, and
an evening meal supplied by the ladies, it should have
been a very late finish, but with all shooting running very
smoothly, and shoot offs’ at a minimum, surprisingly all
competition and the meal were finished by the respectable
time of 11.00pm.
Weatherwise it could not have been much better, with a gentle breeze
keeping the insects at bay, and also keeping the temperature mild,
almost perfect for shooting clay targets, except for a little movement
of targets due to wind. Certainly there were no complaints from the
competitors.
Event One, a 10 target Single Barrel
and two shooters managed to down all
ten, both Mathoura members, George
Bradley and Mick Keirl, and when George
dropped his 4th target in the shoot off,
Mick Keirl having shot his put his hand
up to collect 1st place with a score of
14/14. George on 13/14 picked up 2nd
place, and another Mathoura member
Tim Maher having shot a 9/10 result
collected the 3rd place trophy.
Mick Keirl
Roger Kerslake
Event Two, a ten target Points Score,
and again Mick Keirl, shooting so well,
produced the only full score of 30/30,
earning him 1st place in this event,
Tim Maher and Laurie Fiztpatrick both
members of Mathoura, shot off for 2nd
and 3rd, with Tim taking 2nd place with
a result of 61/63, Laurie 3rd place with a
60/63 result.
Event Three, a 10 target Double Barrel,
shot off the eighteen metre mark just
to increase the difficulty a little, and
again in this event, only one full score
of 10/10 and that was shot by Club President Roger Kerslake. For that good
shooting Roger put his hand up for the
1st place trophy. A very short shoot off
between Carl Scott and Bruce Cook both
Mathoura members, ended up with
Bruce taking 2nd place with an 11/12
result, and Carl 3rd place on a score off
10/12.
Event Four, the main event, a 25 target,,
Night, Double Barrel Championship, which also includes the 2013
Club Champion result, (who must be
a Mathoura member), and only two
members could manage to down all
25 targets, Tim Maher and Laurie
Fitzpatrick. At target six of the shoot
off Laurie missed his, Tim shot his
and it was all over, with Tim Maher
on a score of 31/31 collecting the
