ISSN: 1321-3903 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! Allan Vilcins FEBRUARY 2014 – AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET NEWS 1 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.

L-R: Adrian Cousens, Ben Garraway, Glenn Clarke, David O’Sullivan and Lorraine Hughes. Comment by team members: “We maybe carrying Lorraine here, 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 FEBRUARY 2014 – AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET NEWS 3 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 is strictly January 20 4 AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS – FEBRUARY 2014 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 chilly ch conditions, the Mooney M trio seemed to shine. Father Joe shot sh extremely well and a took out second place p for his grade in the Points Score event e but it was his 2 sons that held the t flag high and a 12 and 15 they at both b have long elite sporting careers ahead of them. Cooper is not a new n comer to the ner Joe Mooney and Leon Cuz winners w 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 Australia and New Zealand Skeet Postal Challenge 2013 Australia New Zealand Open 489 488 Ladies 229 232 Juniors 231 No Team Entered Veterans 241 239 Winners indicated in Red overall score of 133/150, something tells me this won’t be the last we will hear of William. Other highlights were overall High Gun Barry Skinner from Canberra with 160/160 and also from Canberra Dan Power was overall winner for the first event of the day with 128/128 double barrel. See full results below. The Goulburn Clay Target Club would like to thank the many sponsors who help make the day possible and Cooper Mooney AA Grade High Gun and Leon Cuzner ccertainly would not be running after 225 years. Thank you to Divalls Earthmoving, Tackle World, Toralbo P/L, Custom Stocks, ZZ Sydney Australia, Frazer Roberts, Coopers ior William Mooney Junn eearthmoving, Castrol, Robert Simpson C Grade High Gu Agency P/L, Merino Fuel, Chris Weeks Motorcycles, Joe Mooney, Steel-N-Stuff, also a big thank you to Chicken Man Goulburn for catering – no one was left hungry. After 25 years, with this event only getting stronger and stronger, Alan Cramp and Clem Rowe would be proud I’m sure of the junior talent that the club now nourishes. A big thank you also goes out to the Club committee and the many hands that help unselfishly to make the day a success. Practice shoots are still held on the 3rd Tuesday of every month, Leon Cuzner can be contacted on 0428 382 995 for more details.

Paul Edwards “Mooney Trio” FEBRUARY 2014 – AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET NEWS 5 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.

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.

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. 6 Multigauge Champ Adrian Cousens with State President Brett Brown OA winner Michael Buttigieg Ladies 100t winner Lorraine Hughes The first event on the card for the Queensland Skeet Carnival was the 50 target State Handicap, also the first qualifying event for the State teams. with 99/100, Antony Ballarino took the junior sash and Thomas Rhue the junior prize with 95/100, and Laurie Chelepy won the vets shooting 99/100.

Rodney Kneipp won A grade with 55/56 and Daniel Andrews took the C grade prize with 44/50. Nice to see the return of Mount Isa’s silver fox Mick McGill who shot 46/50 to win B grade. The junior sash was won by Thomas Rhue for his 50/50 in the event and the junior prize went to Theo Pieterse with an impressive Jnr 20 gauge winners Thomas Rhue & Theo Pieterse QLD Open Postal Team 48/50. Pat Dury took the vets sash with 49/50, Neal Dimmick won the veterans prize with 47/50 and Lorraine Hughes was the best lady shooting 49/50. With Nigel Hughes as the 2012 defending champ I don’t think it was possible to get any more Caboolture members up to the presentation table for the 20G event! Final event on the ticket, the 50T State Doubles championship attracted 61 competitors with no possibles shot for the event. Adrian Cousens featured again as overall winner with 69/70 after a well fought shoot off with club mate Glenn Clarke, 1st in AA on 68/70.

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.

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!

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 cleaning out the $2000 jackpot (put up by Libby & Robert Clarke) 2nd C grade winner Bob Bennett 2nd AA winner Peter Brenton 3rd AA grade Kerry Miller 3rd B grade Barry Pharo The sponsor, my mum, Betty Wearne, had a lovely afternoon W watching some of the shooting as well as parting with cash to the winners.

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 air born and took out wiring between buildings. A shortt o break in the event to turn off power and d make it safe. We had garbage going up the road faster than the traffic. Pink balloons all broke their stringss and went somewhere,, air born.

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 Canterbury Gun Club 22 AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS – FEBRUARY 2014 Above Left: Nigel Hughes, 28 gauge winner.

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 Continued next page The 2013 winning Glenn Trophy Team, including Lorraine Hughes, only the second lady ever to be in this team 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. Club President, Noel Edlington, Sam Gall, Treloar’s Shoot Secretary, congratulating Gary Carlyon and John Sleightholme Gary Carlyon com devised a challenging and most enterpeting in a shoot off taining program of events. Everyone went Doug Smith who passed away in Queensland at the end of last week. home with either a trophy or Christmas fare, as they were all on target. Maxine Lewis saw to it that no one went hungry by preparing a delicious, quality lunch with all the Christmas trimmings. Grahame Armour provided the Lions Christmas Cakes and Puddings. Thank you Maxine and Grahame. Before the commencement of the day’s events, a minute’s silence was observed in memory of well known clay target shooter Cuzzo’s Ramblings Continued from page 22 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. December’s Trivia Question The last person to win the Macintosh Team High Gun outright with the only 300x300 was my old mate Ross (The Pink Panther) Walsh from Broken Hill and he did this in 2010. The first cor rect answer drawn was submitted by Johnny Sleightholme from Tamworth and as he has shot on quite a few Ross Walsh Macintosh Teams himself, I’m pretty sure he’ll make good use of a free nom at the Trap Nationals 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?

Psychological Skills for Shooting Michael Kruger-Davis 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.

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 A Grade with junior, James Body R Double shooting 19/20 for first, with Ray 10P ner win AA is Dav is Chr SB Kearns taking second on 16/20.

Watched by a very appreciative audience, these two Baker Memorial Shoot at Kempsey There was movement at the range for the word had passed around, that the Baker Memorial Shoot had come to Kempsey town.

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. Invitational HG 2013 and Fimac Shield winner Alf Nie sar FEBRUARY 2014 – AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET NEWS 59 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.

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.
