HANDICAPPING. The matter of
the subm~ssionof properly completed
Handicap Return F o m s to the Association arouses interest and discussion
for all club officials. Of late, it has
been frequently observed that club
handicappers or club secretaries have
been making altogether "too muchJ'
of a not very difficult job. As an instance, on very many occasions, club
officials have submitted lengthy completed returns which, if proper attention had been given to the instructions issued by the Association when
the Handicap Return Fornl system
was introduced, could have reduced
the wo& by half a t least. Many
clubs include details of Deauville
Doubles, double-rise, walk-up, tower
and mixed bird events. The inclusion
of this type of detail for handicapping is quite unnecessary because
handicaps are only assessed on double
and single-barrel events, shot "downthe line". A11 other events are dassified as novelty competitions except
when big awards are made and are
usually included in programmes to
bring about variety, notwithstanding
that the Association authorises open
chainpionsl~ipson the five other types
of competition shooting mentioned.
The five types mentioned have no
bearing on the handicapping assess~ n e n t s and therefore should not be
included in the return form. Another
point which would doubtless save
much time and effort to officials compiling the handicap return form i s a
suggestion that s t the head or top
left of each return a summary of
the events covered by the return
should be made. Such as No. 1, 5
birds D.B.; No. 2, 20 birds S.B.; No.
3, 10 birds (5 S.B., 5 D.B.). Then a s
the completion of the handicap return
proceeds all that is necessary i s to
'efer to the fact that shooter's performance which i s being described
competed in No. 1 or No. 2 or No. 3
or in all events. By this means of
preparation the compiler of the return can save much time and also
much energy and concentration. It is
certainly worth a trial. Any proposal
which can ease the burden of club
officials should receive consideration
and trial.
SHOOTING IN FRONT OF HAWDPCAP. A practice noticed in recent
months, particularly among some of
the bigger clubs, has been to shoot
handicap events "two yards in
front of handicap". This procedure
is entirely contl-ary to Association
regulations and clubs acting in this
way should cease the practice immediately. It i s a definite Association direction that "ail shooters must
shoot from their correct handicap
marks". Clubs advertising handicaps
"two yards in front of handicap" are
completely out of order and acting in
an irregular way. It has been stated
that the practice has been adopted
by some clubs to benefit the backmarkers; be that as it may, it is still
not in order. Clubs continuing to disregard the Association direction in
this matter leave themselves open
for Executive Committee action. A11
shooters must shoot off their correct
handicaps a t all times.
October, 1959
AUSTRALIAN
CLAY TABGET SHOOTING NEWS
CARTRIDGES . I N THE GUN.
Several well-meaning trapshots have
complained to the Association of the
practice adopted by many shooters
of leaving shells in their guns whilst
walking behind the rest of the squad
from No. 5 track to No. I track.
Some shooters have been noticed
actually re-loading after shot on No.
5 and then walking across to No. 1
traclr with the two live shells in the
gun. It should be mentioned that no
one has yet been noticed walking
behind the squad in this fashion with
the gun closed. The possibility of a
shooter falling while walking from
No. 5 to No. I. i s considered to be
remote, but nevertheless the possibility i s there and there is also no
knowing whether a shell would explode in such circumstances. Here
again the possibilities are remote.
However, no risk should be talcen,
and referees should insist that shooters unload their guns after shooting
on No. 5 and then proceed to walk
across to No. I with the unloaded gun
open. Some referees have already
taken action on these lines. Officials
acting in this way can be assured of
complete Association backing. Association Rule 5, Section 2, clearly lays
down the requirements of a competitor in this connection. The Section reads, "A competitor shall load
his gun ONLY AT THE FIRING
POINT PACING THE TRAPS. We
shall place the cartridge or cartridges in his gun, and must remove
them or the empty cases before tui-ning from the firing point. The referee
or management may disqualify a
competitor for violation of this Eule."
It is certainly a more comforting
thought to other competitors if it i s
known to all that the No. 5 man has
unloaded his gun when he i s walking
behind the rest of the squad.
C E REFEREE. The Referee's
decislon is final. Thls Association
Rule does not appear to be quite
understood by many competitors. The
Association rules clearly state that
"The Referee's Decision is FinalJ',
which means, of course, exactly what
i s stated. Section 3 of Rule 2 reads,
"The Referee's decision in all cases
coming under his jurisdiction a s set
forth in the rules, shall be final."
Section 4 of the same Rule goes on,
October. 1959
"If the Referee i s negligent or inefficient, impairing thereby the equity
of the competition, the management
may forthwith remove him. This rule
applies also to scorers, pullers, trappers, and any other of the staff."
Section 7 of the same rule states,
"The Referee has power to alter his
decision." From all the foregoing i t
should, however, not be taken that
all. and sundry may appeal or protest
against a referee's "decisionJ'. The
Rules make no allowance for any
protest against the decision of a
Referee, hence the intimation that
"the Referee's decision i s final". It
has been a popular belief in some
quarters that a protest can be lodged
against a decision of a Referee. I t
is pointed out that the Rules give no
such authority. The only occasion
when a competitor ]nay protest, and
not against a Referee, is under Rule
8 (section I), which states, "A competitor may challenge the load of any
other competitor, under Rule 12 (b)
(which reads, 'A load of shot greater
than one and one-quarter ounce
weight, struck measure, nor may a
larger size of shot than No. 6
(English) be usedJ). On receipt of
a written challenge, with .hl forfeit,
the management shall obtain a cartridge from the challengee, and if,
after public examination of it, the
management finds the challengee has
violated Rule 12 (b), he may be disqualified or not accordingly, as the
offence was wilfully cominitted or
other~vise. In case the challengee is
~vhollyinnocent, the forfeit sl~allbe
paid to him, otherwise i t shall be
returned to the challenger. The
lnanagement of any club, or of any
tournament, has the power to examine any competitor's cartridges a t
their discretion, without involving
themselves in any penalty." Hence
i t will be observed that there was
no appeal against the decision of a
Referee a t any time.
Clubs submitting reports on shoots
are requested to retain these accounts
in the actual form of a "report" and
not in the form of a letter, as several
clubs have made a practice of doing.
By writing a shoot report as a
'letterJJ it means that all the introduction and finalisation sections have
to be struck out for printing pur-

Dear Mr. McCullough,
The article on Registration Cards
on page 9 of the July issue of the
"News" has caused considerable discussion in these parts, and i t is felt
that the decision to discontinue the
Handicap portion of Registration
Cards is a mistake.
Under the new ruling, when a competitor goes back a yard for one
major win or three divisions a t the

shooter to have earned the penalty
of being put hack two or three yards
and for him then to go to another
club, who would be unaware of this.

he deserves.

How can we explain the astonishing habit of our little Tailorbird
which actually sews leaves into the
top and sides of its nest?
SHOOTING NEWS
Four kinds of introduced birds
and a t least eight Australian species
practice "anting", picking up ants
and wiping under the wings and
through the feathers with them.
Here again is a strange habit
recorded in a number of other countries, and having examined the facts
and five relevant theories, the author
suggests an age-old secret of nature
is being revealed- that birds "use
not only sunlight, water, dust, and
smoke. but also insect acids and the
hidden virtues of plants, for the
benefit of their bodies."
Australia has three mound-building
hirds which resort to artificial incubation and use decaying vegetation
for hatching eggs.
If the leaves are large, only three
or four may be bent over and used,
but one nest in a blackberry bush had
25 stitched in with spider webbing or
fibre.
How they developed this astonishing technique as a substitute for
natural brooding, adjusting their
activities to suitable weather conditions, aerating the mounds and
regulating the internal temperature,
is one of the most interesting mysteries of "bird mind" with its infinite
varietv of behaviour-~atterns.
A few of a large number observed
by the author on the fringe of D~~
w h y L~~~~~ had heen sewn with
or rayon taken from
wool,
stockings or galments on nearby
clothes lines.
"Bird Wonders of Australia"
ranges f a r beyond the believe-it-ornot minority and brings within its
compass a mass of bird lore and
strange happenings related to numerous soeeles.
Facts belie the common assumption
that an association between birds and
insects is based only on food. Mr.
Chisholm cites cases in which insects
obviously act as sanitation agents in
nests in return for food and shelter,
and records the "storage" habit of
the Inland Crested Bellbird which
collects live caterpillars for food and
keeps them captive in the nest by
paralysing them with a firm pressure
of its beak.
Very curious, too, is the association
of some of our Warblers with native
wasps, the nests of the birds being
nearly always close to those of the
wasps. Certain hirds in South America, the West Indies and Africa have
the same habit, the general conclusion of observers being that the
birds obtain "some degree of protection" from their well-armed wasp
associates.
October. 1959
With a lifetime of ohservation and
research on Australian birds, Mr.
Chisholm is singularly well qualified
to deal with this subiect. and his
livelv and fresh 1iterai.v stvle sustaini and enhances (he -reader's
interest in an exciting theme.
Country people, who enjoy an openair life and have most opportunities
for observing birds, will specially
value this handsomely produced book,
and find a wealth of continninrr
pleasure in its pages.-N.L.R.

I am now the proud owner of a n
American "Victor" crow decoy set,
which arrived a s a gift froom Wichita,
Kansas. This comnrises a nnoier mochc
owl and crow a s ;-+ell as i &ow call.
Already reaction has taken place.
I deccded to risk the comment,
"What? more rubbish," and duly displayed the new toy in the drawing
room. Whereupon my wife took instant dislike to the baleful d a r e of
t h e owl and added that as fay as the
crow was concerned, she never did
like anything black anyway.
The next critic was the cat, who
with all the skill of its kind commenced to stalk the strange objects.
The owl is about one foot six inches
in height. with l a r r e rlass eves.
whiih Fib; found t o o fierce to Ace:
So very carefully she proceeded to
approach from the rear. Her curiosity
lasted for three stalks, a s each time
I would move the awl until its eyes
rested on the stalker. This proved
too much f o r the cat, which retreated
slowly with flattened ears. With such
a n encouraging response in mind, and
high 'hopes that crows would be
equally affected, I proceeded to give
it a field trial.

SATURDAY, 31st OCTOBER, 1959
SHOOTING
The place chosen for this was a
newly-sown field of wheat. On approaih a fair number of pigeon
departed, but no crows were seen.
However, the sides of the field are
bordered by an "L" shaped, thin
woodland. With the decavs set out
some thirty yards from the corner of
the "L",and the owl facinrr the cro\r-,
a s if they were sizing each other up;
I took cover in a small holly bush and
awaited results. Awaited is hardly
the word, as I was no sooner settled
when the first crow started to circle
the decovs. As i t circled. it last
height, a i d finally, as its circle neared
my position, I fired, and felt great
joy in seeing the crow crumple and
drop within a few feet of the decoys.
Crow No . 2 followed in exactly the
same way, but No. 3, being hit too
f a r behind., managed to fly about 150
yards, utterlng long, exc~ted calls
before dropping. Incidentally, I tried
to memorise those calls for future
use with the crow call.
Feeling that the last development
might upset further decoying to the
owl. 1 went t o retrieve this crow,
&h<ckproved to be quite dead when
I reached it. Glancing back to the
set, I witnessed three more crows
circling the decoys, but, of course,
I was unable to do anything owing
to the distance. I then, set up the

The fallowing day found the ,owl
in action again, this time a t Jim's

hedge while Jim, two other shooters
and I were in a straw-baled hide.
Not only \vas the hide rather
cramped, but the site chosen was
where last yeax's manure heap had
stood. Still, the crows performed,
and shooting was had by all. On
adjourning we realised that we were
not exactly cove~ed in violets, and
Jim agreed that a better site could
have been chosen.
There is no doubt that this is the
way to deal with crows. I cannot

will respond in the same way, having

rule seems t o be concealment of the

a bush which completely hides the

this restricts movement, and more

"A good bloke has passed". That
statement covers in brief the passing
of oouular Harold Sweenev. who was
wefi &own on all Melbourhe shooting
tracks, as well as many grounds long
distances from Melbourne. Harold
had a run of misfortune in recent
years, culminating with the contracting of an apparently incurable ailment a few months back which took
him off fairly quickly. As recently
as May last, Harold Sweeney was
enjoying the hospitality of the Cunnamulla Club and reports have i t that
he really enjoyed himself in every
sense of the word. Harold Sweeney
was a most likeable character, popnlar in all sections of the shooting
world, and his like is all too infrequent in the battle of life. He did
many good and kindly deeds about
which only a few of his closest
friends knew. I t was his pleasure to
do good by quiet action, but his
motives were always of the h~ghest
class. The deepest sympathy is expressed to his relatives. A very large
gathering of the Melbourne shooting
fraternity gathered a t Sweeney's
funeral.

to Castlemaine for the blg event.
Skeet, a t that time, although not shot
with soch freauencv a s in 1959. was
looked upon as'a m j j o r section df the
trapshooting programme. ( I t is recalled that the Melbourne Gun Club,
then a very active live-bird shooting
clubJ staged the Commonwealth Skeet
Championship about this period in
the 1930's and had no less than 54
entries.) The late Charles Corbett
was runner-up to Oakley. Fred Burns
(who very kindly drove the writer t o
the shoot from Melbourne) tied with
Harry Waight for third placing.
Wairht won the tie shoot from Burns.

Tilly, who used the unusual non-deplume of "Woofer", registered a
break of 61 straight a t a Camberwell Club fixture. Tilly was one of
the best of the younger pre-war crop
of shooters. He later joined the
A.I.F. and served in most theatres of
war. He has not shot since his return

"we

l l men are
at-some time or another, run across
strange experiences. It is the custom
here (in England), when strangers
wander in, to ask them if they would
care to t r y a few shots, in the hope
that we may get hold of some fresh
blood t o swell our membership. It does
not always come off, and I remember
a n incident or two that were rathe?
amusing. When the old North London Gun Club held its opening meeting in 1910, the lay-out consisted of
a small trench, with three Eley traps.
The earthen bank protecting the
trapper was not very high, hut sufficiently so t o protect him and hide
the barrels of clay pigeons, which, in
those days, contained 500. Well, the
inevitable onlookers turned up in
force and during the lull between
events the club captain asked if any
of the visitors would like to t r y their
hands and fire a shot or two. One
man accepted, and so a s to make it
a s easy as possible, h e was placed
right up hehind the trench and told
to call 'Pull' and then fire. This he
did. However, in his excitement he
the trigger immediately he
called 'Pull', and the gun, not yet
raised, went off and put the charge
into an unopened barrel of 500 clay
pigeons and smashed the lot, thus
making a n unbeatable score -to the
horror of club members. It was not
so expensive then a s i t would be now,
a s clays a t that time were 22/6 a
barrel of 500."
The issue of the September edition
in 1949 marked the completion of two
years of publication of "News".
Clubs shootinx a t that time and
Coburg Club, showed "presidential"
form in winning the Footscray Club's
premier title (double-barrel) with the
~c%nsville Club. piace-getters were,
Keith Cameron (Roma), Ken Bassett
(Snrat) and Doug Nasser (Atherton).
When a woman meets a man who
looks her straight in the eye-she'd
