Australian Clay Target
Association Inc.
PRESIDENT’S ANNUAL REPORT 2011
It gives me great pleasure on behalf of the Executive, as the
President of the Australian Clay Target Association (ACTA) to
report on the Association affairs for the 12 month period ending
the 31st December 2011.
Membership for the period slightly decreased from 13,040 to
12,848. Full memberships and the junior category saw the
greatest reduction with Veterans again increasing in numbers.
This is the fi rst year in some time that we have had a decrease in
membership, and we believe that the natural disasters so widely
felt throughout Australia during the period would be a major
contributor to this decline.
The Executive has ensured the Association is insured as comprehensively and economically
as possible. Tenders for our Insurance needs were called during the period and the fi rm
Pollards acting as brokers, have sourced our insurances from the Australis Group -Lloyds of
London as underwriters.

2 AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS – APRIL 2012
The Association traded well during the year showing a profi t of
$298,767 up from $281,167 last year. Whilst revenue was
slightly down, many expenses were managed below last year’s and
this helped increase our surplus.
Development continues at the National Ground, funded by these
surpluses. Construction of new grandstand type seating,
a second ablution block and 24 more powered sites began in the
period and will be completed for the 2012 Nationals. Provision
of extra water, gas and sewerage mains was part of this
development. Much of this work completed is very expensive, but
being mostly underground is not very noticeable. The ACTA have
now completed an infrastructure program encompassing power,
water, sewerage and a gas upgrade in just under 2 years at a cost
of over $240,000.
The purchase of the National Ground freehold from Wagga
Wagga Council was fi nally documented in August and four
monthly payments to the council were made during the period.
The Olympic Discipline Nationals were conducted with a good
attendance and our thanks goes to the WAGC and WACTA for
providing the facilities and running the event.
The National Trap Championships were conducted at the National
Ground with a total attendance of 2410 over the 5 main events.
This fi gure was up from 2226 the year prior. Some great scores
were shot and the DB winner Tony Arvanitakis set a new record of
900/900 for the Double Barrel Championship. Congratulations
Tony.
The National Skeet Championships were held at the National
Grounds with 149 Shooters attending, exactly the same as last
year. An informal meeting was held at the event allowing the
Executive members present the opportunity to gain some
interesting and valuable insight into how skeet shooters would like
to see their discipline develop into the future. Some decisions have
already been made by the Executive in regard to matters raised at
this meeting and we are certain these will be seen by Skeet shooters
as benefi cial and in line with the sentiments expressed at the
meeting.
The National Sporting Championships were conducted by the
Wagga Gun Club on the Association’s behalf at the National
Grounds. The attendance of 109 was a great result after only
78 attending the year prior. Our thanks go to the Wagga Gun
Club for working so closely with us during this event.
The ACTA funded a team to attend the ICTSF World English
Sporting Championships in Paeroa, New Zealand. The team
performed well with Renae Birgan being the outstanding
performer winning the Ladies section overall. Congratulations
Renae. Our teams also placed well with Gold for the “Super Vets”
of Bryan Rafferty, Max Kavanagh and Peter Sutherland.
Silver was awarded to our Open team of Anthony Panetta, Craig
Macpherson, John Younger, Sox Pilipasidis, and Peter Hall. Silver
was also awarded to our Ladies team of Renae Birgan, Gaye
Shale, and Trina Adams.

Congratulations also go to the ACTA Skeet Team of Leigh Roberts,
Shane Bennett, Len Edwards, David O’Sullivan and Steve Vaccaro
who attended the NZCTA Skeet Nationals in November and came
home with the Glenn Trophy.
Probably the major highlight internationally was the win by
Michael Diamond in the ISSF World Cup Final. Michael
continues to be competitive wherever he travels and helps keep our
sport in the media limelight.
The National offi ce has been very stable over the period. The
appointment of Mr. Chris Gibson as Executive Offi cer on the
21st of February followed the resignation of Mr. Tony Turner in
November of 2010, restoring our administration capability. The
current offi ce staff of Maureen Ryan, Judy Ferry, Sue Vesperman
and Jenny Robinson along with our Groundsman Dave Jocelyn
have all contributed greatly to the effi cient administration of the
Association. We have now employed a trainee, Wayne Sloan to
assist Dave on the grounds as the facility continues to grow. The
trainee is employed through a group scheme and began work in
late 2011.
To all our staff at the offi ce and the grounds, your efforts have
been greatly appreciated.
The Executive changes during the year saw Mr Bob Blake replace
Mr. Peter Haley from NSW. Peter was a Vice President of the
Association and spent a great deal of time at Wagga Wagga,
both as Chairman of the Grounds Committee and standing in at
the offi ce during the period we had no Executive Offi cer. Peter
resigned due to personal reasons and was sadly missed.
Mr. Brian Bailey Tas. was replaced by a former Executive member
Mr. Allan Kenny. Brian had run the ACTA Coaching camps for
some time and with his wife Heather, had provided organization,
food and support for our young shooters. Brian will be missed in
this capacity.
Brian Muirson fi lled the vacancy made upon the retirement of
Mr. John Mack, Qld. I thank John for his time as an executive
member and particularly his three years as President. I can assure
all that you have no idea what a term as President is like until you
have tried it.
Mr. Dennis Harwood Qld, retired and at the end of December
had not yet been replaced. (This position was fi lled by Geoff
Moore in Feb 2012) Dennis was a long serving member of the
executive and Chairman of Finance for many years. Our thanks
to Dennis for his efforts over a long period of time.
The Board, in a new initiative seconded a non-executive person to
the board. We welcomed Mr. Neil Haydon in late 2011 and look
forward to working with him as part of the Board. Neil has
expertise in the legal fi eld and the Board is still looking to fi ll a
position with a person skilled in fi nance.
The CTSN continues to be a major expense to the membership
but is constantly improving. The digitization project is nearing
completion and will become a valuable asset of the Association for
many years to come.
The coaching scene has been very quiet at a National level. We are
in the midst of a legal claim involving our past Coaching Director,
and lots of initiatives and programs have been on hold whilst this is
sorted out. Due to the delicate nature of the proceedings I am not
at liberty to elaborate.
The Association also saw a claim from a member against us in
the Anti-Discrimination Commission. This resulted in the new
categories of membership we introduced from 1st January 2012,
with the consent of the commission. Signifi cant fl ow-on effects to
clubs and states are yet to be seen but will be inevitable.
These two issues above have taken a tremendous amount of
association time and effort away from what we should be
concentrating on. It is extremely disappointing to be now dealing
with matters once common to big business but relatively unheard
of in sport.
The Australian International Shooting Limited (AISL) held their
AGM and many changes were made to their constitution,
supported by ACTA. It is hoped these changes will signal to AISL
that the affi liates are not happy with many of their policies
regarding selection, training and funding, and change is required.
Association sponsors have again provided exceptional support, and
to all Sponsors we extend our sincere thanks. New sponsorship
provided by Casella Wines allowed the ACTA to select an Olympic
Trap team during the period to compete overseas for the fi rst time
in many years under our own banner. (The team comprising Brett
Dunstan, Daniel Di Pietro and Frank Minici travelled to New
Zealand early this year and successfully competed for the
inaugural Jack Sutherland (Calrossie) - Jim McKenzie Trophy,
provided by the Sutherland family and Casella Wines). Our
thanks to both Casella Wines and the Sutherland Family, for
providing the support to make this annual team event possible.
I take this opportunity to thank my fellow Executive members,
Board members and Committee chairs for their support, time
and effort they have given so freely over the last twelve months.
The Vice Presidents, Mr. Ron Traill and Mr. Rob Fox are tireless
workers, and deserve special thanks.
The Associations greatest asset remains its people, at all levels
within our organization. From the club member who mows the
grass before the shoot to the Club President who spends his Sunday
fi xing the broken water pipe, and all between, we have really great
people at all levels, and a little appreciation of their voluntary
effort does not go astray. My thanks to you all.
This year the Association should be able to look forward to a
prosperous year ahead knowing we are in a strong and safe
fi nancial position, with a growing asset base. We have a
reasonably stable membership and are fully insured to protect
our members and our assets. A comprehensive budget was
completed and it is expected to closely refl ect our next annual
result.
Thank you.
Robert Nugent

members of the association. My audit was conducted in accordance with
Australian Auditing Standards, in order to provide reasonable assurance as
to whether the fi nancial report is free of material misstatement. The nature
of an audit is infl uenced by factors such as the use of professional judgment,
selective testing, the inherent limitations of internal control, and the availability
of persuasive rather than conclusive evidence. Therefore, an audit
cannot guarantee that all material misstatements have been detected.
I performed procedures to assess whether in all material respects the fi nancial
report presents fairly, in accordance with the Incorporated Associations
Act 1981 (Victoria), including compliance with Accounting Standards and
other mandatory fi nancial reporting requirements in Australia, a view which
is consistent with our understanding of the association’s fi nancial position,
and of their performance as represented by the results of their operations
and cash fl ows.
I formed my audit opinion on the basis of these procedures, which
included:
• examining, on a test basis, information to provide evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the fi nancial report; and
• assessing the appropriateness of the accounting policies and disclosures
used and the reasonableness of signifi cant accounting estimates made
by the directors.
While I considered the effectiveness of management’s internal controls
over fi nancial reporting when determining the nature and extent of my
procedures, my audit was not designed to provide assurance on internal
controls.

Independence
In conducting my audit, I followed the applicable independence requirements
of Australian professional ethical pronouncements.
Audit Opinion
In my opinion, the concise fi nancial report of Australian Clay Target
Association Inc. is in accordance with:
(a) the Incorporated Associations Act 1981 (Victoria), including:
(i) giving a true and fair view of the association’s fi nancial position as
at 31 December 2011 and of their performance for the year ended
on that date; and
(ii) complying with Accounting Standards in Australia; and
(b) other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia.

APRIL 2012 – AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET NEWS 7

Executive Offi cer’s Report
The closing date for articles, results and club
news for the next CTSN will be the 14th of
March. This has been caused by the Trap
Nationals and production staff being involved
with this event. Ensure you get your copy in
early to have your information in the May
edition of the CTSN.
The dates for this year’s Junior Development
Camps are now on the web site as well as
the application forms. The dates coincide with school holidays in some
states to allow shooters to attend without impacting on school time. The
ACTA provides accommodation as well as meals and coaching. This is an
opportunity for young shooters to develop their shooting and also to get an
understanding of good training routines. The fi rst course will be located
in Wagga Wagga at the National Grounds and will concentrate on DTL,
although techniques will be appropriate to other disciplines. Later Camps
may use other disciplines, including ISSF to develop skills. The camps will
be restricted in the number of people able to attend and attendee’s will be
selected on current grades and previous experience.
At this year’s Trap Nationals Winchester is providing shooters, nominated
in the Champion of Champions event, the opportunity to shoot
Winchester ammunition. All shooters nominated for the event will receive
a coupon from the events offi ce which will entitle them to collect a box of
AA shells from the Winchester display. Competitors can use the shells
in the event if they wish. This is an innovative approach by a sponsor, to
ensure all shooters in the event receive some benefi t if only small.
Following the request to support clubs affected by the fl oods the following
donations were received. A number of other clubs have also provided
support direct to clubs to assist them recover from the effect of the fl oods.

Manual Gomes

Marconi’s Jnr Vice
President Terry Alho
The day started off with amazing weather,
perfect for the day and fortunate to our luck,
13 squads of happy shooters plus family and
friends who joined us for lunch and for a fun
day.
With many giveaways, prizes, raffl es, BBQ
lunch and fl ash targets; the day was bound
to be good, and so it started with a cheerful
Christmas spirit.
First event was the 50 target Points Score with
no possibles on the board, Nick Xenos was the
events best with a respectable score of 149/150
which took out 1st in AA, followed by Dino

The raffl e in-between rounds was sold, and a
total of 30 chickens were raffl ed as prizes thank
you Red Lea Chickens.
The second event was 50 targets Double

its continuous support from all the shooters so
a very very big thank you goes out to all the
shooters and families who joined not only on
the Christmas shoot but throughout the year.
To the ladies in the kitchen Fulvia and Michela,
without you ladies all our mouths would go hungry, not only on the

without any food. Also a special mention to the wives, mums and grandmothers
who created a few dishes and brought them out to the club.
Thank you.
To our Paolo a long time fossil committee member, a personal thank you
for your continuous BBQ turning skills and noisy remarks and hard hard

R-L James Klingner and John and David Mactaggart
fi ring a salute for their father
The shoot-offs several times
lasted much longer than the
initial event. Saturday’s 50 target
double barrel event demanded
202 targets before it was fi nalised
and Sunday’s Sapphire event kept
going to 185 targets. The fi rst
event alone saw 20 shooters hit
all the targets! The second day’s
fi rst event had 28 shooters do the
same!
A big thank you to Loma and
her willing band of helpers for
catering for the weekend. Thanks
to Neil, Paul, Helen, Nicole and
Tracey for running the offi ce
and all the members that help
get ready for the shoot during
the weeks and days before hand
and on the two days of the shoot
and a thankyou to the visitors
Ralph Larkings and
William Saul Junior HG winner
who helped out in any way. Thank you also to the trappers who worked
tirelessly keeping the clays up to the shooters.

APRIL 2012 – AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET NEWS 11

GOULBURN CLAY TARGET CLUB SUNDAY NOVEMBER 13 2011
Alan Cramp & Clem Rowe Memorial Shoot
LOCAL SHOOTER SHINES
On Sunday 13th November 2011 the cream of NSW
and Australia’s Down The Line Trap Shooters
descended on Goulburn to pit themselves against
the best of the best. Goulburn Clay Target Club’s annual
Alan Cramp & Clem Rowe memorial shoot has grown
in popularity over the last few years and with almost 100
shooters in attendance it appears this event is fi rmly planted
on the calendar of the who’s who of Australia’s clay target
shooters. Shooters traveled from near and far with some
coming from as far afi eld as West Wyalong, Bega and the
North Coast.
Sunday’s preparation had started months before, and the fi nishing
touches were fi nalised in the late hours on Saturday night. Most serious
contenders were out and about bright and early Sunday morning, with
nominations starting to roll in around 7am so the many shooters could
prepare themselves mentally for the long day ahead. Shooting then commenced
at 8.30am which didn’t cease until the last of the many shoot
Graded HGun Winners L-R Matt Patmore, Frazer Roberts, Robert Southwell and Clinton Woods
(missing is B Grade Trevor Coutts)

offs just before 6pm. Almost every event and every grade required a
shoot off to decide the fi nal winner, with the day’s main events just
a prelude to the hot action that followed in the shoot offs. A couple
of the shoot offs taking more than 200 targets without a miss to fi nd
a winner. Almost 11000
targets were used on
the day and over 15000
Chloe Frost showed some of the boys up
& Leon Cuzner

shots fi red, that’s a lot of
lead!
Local Shooter Fraser
Roberts again showed
why he is a past national
champion taking out the
overall High Gun honors
by just 1 point, shooting
every target presented to
him with the need to use
his second barrel just once
in the points score event.
This outcome refl ects
Fraser’s natural ability,
when he revealed that
there was no practice or
preparation for the event
and in fact has not fi red
a shot in almost 2 years.
This forced retirement is
due to shoulder damage
caused from the years of
recoil and punishment
from the heavy double
barrel shot guns used. This
constant barrage to the
shoulder has resulted in
a calcifi ed shoulder joint
which causes severe pain
for days after shooting.
“My shoulder swells up
and glows bright red
after a day of shooting,
I’ll be in pain for a week”,
Fraser said of his shoulder
injury.
Also in the spot light
was a trio that travelled
long hours through the
Frazer Roberts
night from Boorowa.
Father, son and daughter
team Steve, Matt & Katie
Schiller are no strangers
to the winner’s podium
and all three featured
heavily in the shoot offs
at the end of the day.
Steve Schiller from West Wyalong
Brother and sister at one point were pitted against each other and this
time Matt was the victor however this is not always the case. Full results
to follow.

CONDAMINE GUN CLUB JANUARY 28 & 29 2012
Return to Shooting after Floods
It has been a long twelve months, but the weekend of the 28th and 29th
January 2012, saw Condamine Gun Club return to shooting!! Club
Members, were determined to make the weekend a success, after last
years event being called off due to the fl oods, and this year’s event in jeopardy
due to up to 12 inches of rain falling in the area the week before the shoot.
With the amazing support of 81 shooters, the Club’s wish was granted and
a successful weekend was held despite the less than ideal weather conditions.
Shooters went to extraordinary lengths to drive around fl ooded
parts of the state to attend the shoot. Shooters from Moree, who normally
take about 3 hours to reach us, had an extended journey of 6 hours due to
diversions and road closures.

which was hotly contested and fi nally won by Terry Rogers (AA)
(120/121). Dean Cusack took home the “Kiwi Trophy” awarded to the
best local shooter for this event.
Sunday brought gusty winds and made shooting more challenging.
The fi rst event for the day the Village Green Gift Shoppe (Highfi elds)
30T Continental was also won by Rodney Woodrow (AA) (44/44), after
another shoot-off. The second event for the Sunday, the Haymans 30T
“Condamine Bell” Single Barrel Championship was won by Condamine
Club member Alex Dallas (AA) (32/32). The fi nal event for the weekend,

After twelve months of rebuilding
it was wonderful to see the
shooting layouts being put to
use again. Club members felt
humbled by the support from
shooters from so many other
clubs, considering the weather
conditions and forecasts for the
weekend. Club President Geoff
Colson, said “The support from shooters and sponsors has been
amazing and it is great to be back shooting”.
The club received a Floodfi ght Back Grant from the QLD Government,
which has enabled all of the ground redevelopment to occur as
well as replacing two traps which were destroyed during the fl ooding.
The Gun Club is also in a process of fl ood proofi ng, with help of a
grant from Xstrata, which enabled the purchase of a container, which

it was the local shooters that relished
in the glorious conditions.

The Condamine Gun Club Members are looking forward to a year of

everyone for your support over the past twelve months and during our
annual shoot. Happy Shooting!!

Fraser Roberts
in the day, the afternoon’s main event soon
weeded out those that were just off the boil.
With perfect scores being posted all day
it was no surprise that a shoot off was
required to decide the eventual winners.
Fraser Roberts came out the clear winner
of the Mixed Target Championship event
and has the sash and trophy to add to his
growing collection. Overall High Gun and
the eventual “AA” grade winner after a shoot
off was Dave Price, with a narrow victory
over Fraser and Leon Cuzner.
Other shooters to shine were Cooper
Mooney taking out “A”
grade and Chris Weeks
saving his best till last was
the “B” grade winner by
a narrow margin with
1 target separating himself
and Joe Mooney.

Australia Day – Bendigo Had It All
An excellent turn out of
shooters, fantastic trophies,
fi ne weather, no hold ups,
great shooting by juniors,
a visit from a State Senator
and a girl showing the boys
how to shoot. What more
could a clay target club ask
for?
102 shooters chose to shoot at
Bendigo as their way of celebrating
Australia Day and they were not
disappointed. With the great array
of trophies presented on the day,
competition was intense from the
very fi rst shot, and it stayed that
Watching the shoot-off
way right throughout the day.
Event 1, the 25 target Points
Score saw 5 shooters return
the necessary 75/75 to go into
the shootoff. Arthur “Hector”

to slip away thereby leaving a very

A grade on 75/78
(oops 1st target), Darren

C on 89/96.
Event 2, the “Australia
Day” Handicap offering $500 cash
for the winner, with a further
$750 to be divided between the
placegetters obviously placed
signifi cant tension on the competitors
as only 2 managed to
shoot 25/25. After 4 targets, Ben
Handicap winners: L-R – Luke Torney, Robin Algie,
Ben Vogelzang, Emma Cox and Daniel Dempsey
Vogelzang was penalised a metre,
but on the positive side was $500
better off. Second place to Robin
Algie 28/29. 12 shooters had shot
a 24/25 in qualifi cation, so it was
down to business to sort 3rd to 5th
placing’s. Luke Torney with 51/52
collected 3rd, Emma Cox 50/52
4th and 5th to Daniel Dempsey on
42/44.
On to the 3rd event of the day,
the GB Corsivia Single Barrel
Championship. Only 4 shooters
managed to return a perfect 25/25
and after 6 targets in the shoot off,
Victorian State Handicapper, Ray
(Chainsaw) Peatling had added the
overall sash and prize to his trophy
cabinet. A grade was won by
junior, Nathan Zechner on 30/31,
B to Jack Flintoff 30/36 and the C
grade winner was Laura Woolley
with 22/25. A great effort by our
up and coming junior shooters
to collect A, B and C grades. Our
future looks great.
So, to the fi nal event of the day,
the 25 target Double Barrel with
5 .223 centrefi re rifl es as prizes for
Overall and each of the 4 grades.
19 competitors returned 25/25
and went full of confi dence into
the shoot off. A score of 107/107
gave Ben Vogelzang his second
major win of the day. Robert

“Solo” Godfrey was
the AA winner with
106/107. Matthew
Downes held out to
win A grade with
46/47, Bailey Vogelzang
was not going to
be upstaged by Dad
and took out B grade
with 38/39. A score of
29/30 gave Jacqueline

A shoot off between Lisa Hawker
and Peter Beaman was necessary
to decide the High Gun. Peter
pulled a 2nd on, yes, his 1st

few hiccups at the beginning
everything started to go well,
First 25tgt D/B was shot with a
few red marks on the board, after
we shot the fi rst 25tgt we asked
our State President Allan Vilcins
to open the lay out with acting
President Kevin Mules. Then
Steve Zadow & Kevin Mules had
the offi cial fi rst opening shot. We
then shot 25 Single Barrel some
close scores started to come in all
grades,
The time was soon getting away
from us and a few more hiccups
came along we then changed
the programme and shot 15tgt
Points Score, more good scores
came in and it was close between
1st & 2nd in all grades and then
the club dropped the last leg of
the mixed event. So altogether
we shot at 65tgts for the day, but
what a great day.
Hope to see all shooters again
that turned up to make the day
a success & come back again and
everyone else is welcomed. Thank
you.

The Squire reports
from West Wyalong
After a round trip of 850 kilometres to pick them up and a
lot of hard work by a few blokes but particularly Clive Foster
and John Wason and the new skeet traps were fi tted and
the targets were fl ying true and in readiness for the West
Wyalong Clay Target Club’s fi rst event of the new year.
It is a number of years since the West Wyalong Clay Target Club had
an organised Skeet Shoot and three squads of shooters were on hand to
christen the new traps.
As skeet is so new to the club, shooters had some trouble settling in and
the wind did not help at all.
Mick Munro, who is a AA Grade Field and Game shooter and West
Wyalong club member showed his skills and was the winner of the 50
Target event scoring 47/50. Dozer Collins showed his versatility coming
in second with a score of 43/50. Dozer is the sort of bloke who can shoot
anything, small bore, Down the Line, Trench, Sporting Clays, rabbits
and now Skeet just give him a gun and a pocket full of shells and he will
return a competitive score.
Matt Schiller, who also knows how to handle different disciplines, was
third 40/50.
By the time 12.30pm had rolled around numbers had swelled somewhat
for the Central Zone Continental Carnival the West Wyalong Clay Target
Club was hosting. There was a fi ne array of shooters present with visitors
from Canowindra, Young, Parkes, Orange, Booroowa and Yass as well as
a host of local shooters.
It appeared as though some good scores would be posted during the
program when 14 of the 25 shooters shot 10/10 in the Double Barrel
Continental Eye Opener.
The 25 Target Points Score Continental took a shoot off to decide the
winner with Trent Jamieson 84/84 taking out Overall from Matt Schiller
83/84 who was the AA Grade winner. Regular visitor to West Wyalong,
Alan Drogemuller 73/75 won A Grade and Dennis Smith from Young
won B Grade shooting a fi ne 75/75.
Mick Munro still adjusting to Down the Line shooting scored 63/75 to
take C Grade. Jeff Nash 73/75 was the Veteran winner.
Trent Jamieson 37/38 also proved too good in the 25 Target Single Barrel
Continental event once again winning the Overall position. G Serafi n
33/35 won AA Grade with Ray Schiller 28/30 the A Grade winner.
Dennis Smith19/25 won B Grade and Mick Munro 34/37 and starting
to hit his straps won C Grade.
Veterans, Jeff Nash and David Wilson shared fi rst 20/25.
The fi nal event for the day was 50 Targets Double Barrel Continental
and although high scores were anticipated they did not eventuate. John
Lawrence 86/86 won the Overall position from Dozer Collins 85/86
who placed fi rst in AA Grade. Matt Schiller who dropped out after 80
targets was second in AA Grade. David Wilson 52/54 was having a good
day and won A Grade from Mitch Browne 51/54 who has not been seen
around the traps for some time. Dennis Smith 47/53 won his third event
of the day in B Grade with John Wason 46/53 losing the shoot off to take
second position. Mick Munro 49/50 completed a clean sweep for the
day in C Grade and is unlikely to remain in that grade for much longer.
Another Field and Game shooter and club member, Steve Smith 36/50
was runner up to Mick in C Grade. Veteran, Ray Schiller 46/50 was the
winner of his section.
Trent Jamieson had a huge smile on his face when he was announced as
the High Gun for the day’s events.

APRIL 2012 – AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET NEWS 53

Five Stand Comes to Bega
After a longish period of planning, getting the gear together
and a lot of work from our fearless president and club
members, Bega Gun Club held its fi rst Five-stand event last
Sunday. In conjunction with the fi rst round of the Fimac
Shield for 2012, and with strong support from our colleagues
from Bermagui, two twenty-fi ve target rounds were shot.
47 shooters from around the district braved the sudden summer temperatures
and brisk breeze to tackle this, for Bega, new discipline. Mingling
with a few experienced shooters, the many fi rst timers had a most
entertaining introduction to the event. Some of us are still looking for
some of the targets, that we’re sure, were thrown.
Round one began with President Phil explaining the process and
demonstrating the layout and how it all worked. The fun then began
in earnest. AA Grade went to Stuart Bennett on 23/30 from Kevin Hurt
22/30. A Grade was taken out by Phil Graig with Marke Raabe picking
up second after a shoot off 29/35. B Grade went to Ray Hedger who collected
21/25 to runner up, Colin Brownlie’s 19/25. C Grade was won by
Stephen Martini with a score of 20/35
from Alf Niesar 19/35. And everyone
had a fantastic time.

For some light relief, the second
event was a 25 target single barrel.
Phil Craig took out AA Grade with
a 23/26 after a quick shoot off with
Phil Body who scored 22/26. In A
Grade, Alf Niesar was successful with
a score of 23/25 from Kevin Hurt
20/25. B Grade saw the best score of
the day, when John Siede plucked 24
of his allocated 25 targets to win from
Zip Summerell 21/25. C Grade went
to Colin O’Brien with a score of 22/25
with John Walker collecting second in
a shoot off 21/27 from Peter Johnston
21/27.
After the second event frivolity, event
54 AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS – APRIL 2012
three was back to the fi ve stand
for a second try. Stuart Bennett
again proved successful with
19/25 from Kevin Hurt 17/25.
Marke Raabe and Phil Craig
swapped positions for the second
try, Marke winning 19/25 to
Phil’s 17/25. B Grade had a
change of personnel, with John
Siede shooting 19/35 to Craig
Field’s 18/25. In C Grade, Mick
Diss and Alf Niesar were enjoying
themselves so much, they carried
on a while, till Alf came out
victorious with a score of 25/45
to Mick’s 23/45. And so Bega’s
fi rst attempt at Five stand came
to an end, with the majority
keen to have another go later in
the year.
Most Improved shooter at Bega Gun
Club in 2011, John Gray
Final event for the day was the
fi rst round of the Fimac Engineering
sponsored Fimac Shield.
Last year’s winner, veteran John
Siede continued on his winning
way with a fi rst round win,
shooting a score of 22/25 in
some of the windiest conditions
seen at Bega for some time. Peter
Johnston and Craig Field spent
a short time sorting out second
and third, with Pete being successful
22/27 to Craig’s 21/27.
Once again, our thanks to Fimac
principal, Shane Platts, for his
ongoing support.
High Gun for the day went to Michelle Craig Ladies OA winner
John Siede with a very good
score on the day of 82/100. Ladies overall
went to Michelle Craig 57/100, with
Robyn Perkins, 43/100, second. The
shoot raffl e was won by Robyn Perkins
who is enjoying one of the famous Kydd’s
Butchery meat trays whilst the treasurer
keeps the prize money. Should the prize
not go off before the July shoot, three
draws will be had to try and give away
the cash.
The Club would like to extend their
thanks to all those visitors and club
members alike who helped make this
special day a success. No names – I’m
sure to miss someone.

KEVIN CHARLES MORGAN
4.11.1937 – 9.11.1911
The Southern Gun Club and all shooters were saddened to hear of the
sudden death of Kevin on a fi shing trip whilst staying at his shack at
Wellington, on the banks of the River Murray.
Kevin was a police offi cer for 39 years and a sergeant for his last 17 years
of service before he retired at 60 years of age.
Kevin and his wife Marj lived at Ironbank and this community will
sadly miss Kevin’s major contribution to community life. Kevin was
the driving force behind the formation of the CFS where he served
as captain for 17 years. Other Ironbank sporting infl uences were the
cricket club where he served a term as president, founder and player
for the table tennis club and committee person for the Ironbank
football club where people from all walks of life gathered to give Kevin
a fi tting send off.
Twelve years ago Kevin organised the inaugural local Neighbourhood
Watch and was still an active co-ordinator. The Blackwood Lions club
also benefi ted from Kevin’s 2 year term as president.
Kevin was also a member of the Firearms Collectors’ Club, Police gun
club, Monarto rifl e club, and committee member of the Southern gun
club.
In a fi tting tribute to Kevin a guard of honour was formed by the
Ironbank community clubs that Kevin was involved with and a volley
fi re organised as his coffi n left the Ironbank oval.
Kevin will be fondly remembered by all shooters and the Ironbank
community groups who have lost a well respected tireless worker.
Our condolences are sent to Kevin’s widow Marj and families.
Di Humberstone, President Southern Gun Club
NEIL JOHN MORRISON
28.8.1948 – 23.1.2012
The only thing in life that Neil Morrison was more passionate about
than shooting was his wife Val.
Since 1997, when he joined the Castlemaine Gun Club, until his tragic
death in January 2012 at the age of 63, Neil John Morrison’s driving
motivation was to advance the sport of clay target shooting, with Val
always at his side.
He had a ‘larger-than-life’ presence at every shoot he attended, whether
competing, or in the offi ce carrying out his role as the VCTA North-West
Zone Handicapper. Whenever his booming laugh was heard, people
knew ‘Neil’s here.’
Always a ‘giver’ and a ‘do-er’ Neil gave his time and his skills willingly
and tirelessly to help build up the Castlemaine Club and encourage the
attendance of many competitors. Projects that he drove included the
building of the second DTL layout at Castlemaine and the installation
of a ball-trap layout.
During his fi ve years as President of the Club, attendances of eight to 10
squads to the monthly Saturday shoot were not unusual.
Neil was also passionately committed to the sport’s administration,
serving as the Club delegate to the North-West Zone and then taking
on the role of Zone Delegate to the VCTA- a position which he held for
four terms.
At major Zone, State and National competitions, Neil was always willing
to help, often being found working in the offi ce to help bring about a
smoothly run event.
There are many shooters who owe their participation in clay target
VALE
shooting to the encouragement of Neil John Morrison, including his
brother Alan, sister Joy, and brother-in-law Paul.
He will be sadly missed.
Neil tasted the sport approximately 26 years ago, for a short time.
Then 16 years ago he got the taste again. That combined with the
love of travel & the love of his beautiful wife, Val, in the passenger
seat they would travel near & far. As a part of our committee and
a fair stint as President & Handicapper, Neil was instrumental in
works around the club. Also introducing new members to the club,
his brother, sister, brother in law, step daughter and nephews. Neil
will be missed around the traps.

LEIGH WILLIAM KNIGHT
6.11.1957 – 3.12.2011
Clay target shooters throughout Australia were shocked and saddened
to learn of the tragic death of Leigh “Wally Gator” Knight on the 3rd
December 2011. Leigh was travelling home after an evening shooting
ducks on the rice when he was involved in a motor vehicle accident, less
than 2 kilometres from his home. Leigh was 53 years old.
It is fair to say Leigh was one of the most credentialed shooters not
to have won a National title, this possibly due to the fact he was in a
duck swamp during the time the Nationals were being shot. He was
known throughout Australia, particularly in western New South Wales,
southern Queensland, inland South Australia and the Northern Territory.
He was most at home camped on a river bank, fi shing or hunting
and often with his father, Bert, and mother, Barb.
Leigh began trap shooting at the age of 12 when he was attending the
White Hills Technical School in Bendigo. The very fi rst year he attended
the North East Zone School shoot at Shepparton he won the Overall.
The 2nd year he had to settle for 2nd, but back again the following year
he again won. This encouraged him to join the Bendigo Clay Target Club
and take up competitive trap shooting. Over the years he competed,
the number wins he would achieve would virtually be too numerous
to count. At any shoot he attended, his very easy going nature and his
readiness to help, would win him many friends and admirers. Testimony
to this was the fact in excess of 300 shooters and friends from all over
Australia attended his funeral.

Psychological Skills

Michael Kruger-Davis
PARADIGM SHIFT
Paradigm is an interesting word. It is pronounced
“para-dime” and is defi ned a “the set
of assumptions, concepts, values and practices
that constitute a way of viewing reality.”
Interesting word, an even more interesting
defi nition, given that no two people are able
to view the world in the same way. Marriages, friendships, relationships,
etc appear to breakdown all the time: what is happening is that
we are unable to recognize the other person’s point of view or their
perception of the issue, problem or solution. Relationships breakdown
when paradigms clash. Michael McQueen in his book “The New Rules
of Engagement” demonstrates this by citing an email, which contained a
radio communication transcript between a US Naval ship and Canadian
authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October, 1995.
US Ship: Please divert your course 0.5 degree to the south to avoid collision.
Coastguard: We recommend you divert your course 15 degrees south to
avoid a collision.
US Ship: This is the Captain of a US Navy Ship. I say again, divert YOUR
course.
Coastguard: No. I say again. You divert YOUR course.
US Ship: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS CORAL SEA. WE
ARE A LARGE WARSHIP OF THE US NAVY. DIVERT YOUR COURSE
NOW!
Coastguard: This is a lighthouse. It’s your call.
And with one sentence everything changes: this is a paradigm shift.
However, in relationships or in society in general, it is diffi cult to get
the other person or side to see the other side of the story or other points
of view. As shooters we are up against this all the time. Elements of
the coalition for gun control are hardly likely to see the other side of
the story. The spate of drive by shootings in Sydney, most likely organized
crime related, lumps licensed and law abiding gun owners in the
same bucket as those committing the crimes. The anti-gun lobby does
understand the difference between sporting shooters, target shooters
and criminals. They probably even take pride in our shooting athletes
that win medals in the Olympics. But like the Captain of the ship, they
cannot see the lighthouse, which is in this case, is that most people can
behave responsibly with fi rearms and that problems with fi rearms are
to do criminal behaviour or mental health problems.
For shooters and the anti-gun lobby, Is a paradigm shift possible? I’m
not sure I actually know the answer to that question. I do know that
it won’t come as a “light-bulb” type revelation that occurred for the
captain of the ship, but with a carefully thought out plan of what type
of change is needed, I’m sure it is possible.
Firstly, we need to understand what happens when we try to change
someone’s opinion. We all have set ideas, but these can fi t into three
boxes: area of acceptance, the zone of uncertainty and the area of
rejection.
Area of Acceptance Zone of Uncertainty Area of Rejection
If we understand what the person we are trying to persuade, will freely
accept, is uncertain about, and clearly rejects, then we can look at trying
to change their mind by starting off by acknowledging what they will
56 AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS – APRIL 2012
accept and then move their opinion ever so slightly into the area of
uncertainty and give them credible options to accept this move. Therefore
we are not shifting them far, but just expanding what they likely to
accept. If we jump straight into the Area of Rejection then they will be
unlikely to move their opinion because the shift in their thinking will
be too great.
This is exactly what Hitler did before the WWII to get the people off
Germany to support him. He did not come straight out and tell his
followers about the “Final Solution”. This would have been too much
for any society to accept and would have been rejected and he would
most likely have been overthrown. Instead he adopted a propaganda
campaign starting with what people accepted and then moving them
from acceptance into the zone uncertainty, step by step until the there
was little they would reject.
Area of Acceptance Zone of Area of
Uncertainty Rejection
He did this by asking: Should all Germans have jobs? They answered yes.
So the people were not surprised or concerned when he made policies
that would exclude immigrants from getting jobs. By asking other questions,
for example: Should German banks be run by Jewish businesses?
He then made policies to shut down the Jewish banking system. An
so on he continued making policies excluding Jews, gypsies, disabled,
homosexuals, etc, so that Germans could be better off.
This is a very simplistic account of what happened, but over time he
was able to change the way of thinking for most of the society to accept
his the policies he shared with the people. Each move was small and
calculated to be close to what was already accepted.
Secondly, we need to reframe the negative connotations used by the
anti-gun lobby into things that are at least neutral or best positive.
When we talk with the media we should refer to guns as fi rearms not
weapons. We need to make listeners or readers realize that for our sport
our fi rearms are necessary: just as you can’t play golf without a set of
golf clubs, you cannot shoot without a fi rearm.
Thirdly, we should be willing to acknowledge that society believes we,
as shooters, can be trusted: we have a license and we can carry and use
a fi rearm. It is not possible for the members of the anti-gun lobby to so
easily prove that they are trusted by society.
I cringe when I hear or read there has been another incident involving
fi rearms. Recently, the Sydney tabloid press, during the debate over
criminal gangs and drive-by shootings, made a big story about the fact
that Bathurst had the highest proportion of registered guns per head of
population in NSW. Why were they doing this? They wanted to highlight
the danger of the guns in the community. The story was picked up
by the radio networks, but became obvious that they the people of rural
NSW understood the story was a beat up because:
a. the drive by shooting were occurring in western Sydney,
b. those doing the shooting were criminals and not likely licensed or
using registered fi rearms,
c. fi rearm crime statistics for Bathurst did not exist.
We need to be mindful that not everyone believes what we believe,
however to protect our sport and our right to participate we need to see
a paradigm shift in the non-believers.

Wangaratta Clay Target Club
Hot Conditions for
Skeet suits Jackel
The day was hot, however
this didn’t deter local Skeet
top shot, David Jackel
from winning the Overall
Champions title at the
Wangaratta Clay Target
Clubs January Skeet shoot.
David returned a score of
95/100 to win the sash for
the event.
Shooting in full sun on a hot day
has a real effect on concentration
and energy levels, however
Jackel was able to overcome these
uncomfortable conditions and
win over the other 20 shooters on
the day. Just behind David was P
Akkermans from Bendigo with
another top score of 94/100 winning A grade with 2nd place going
to Bernie Evans 102/110 after a shoot off with Phil Smith. Dennis
Savage, another top skeet shooter, won B grade with a score of 94/100,
defeating Alan Kidd on 90/100 for 2nd place. Veteran all rounder,
Keith Robinson shot well to win C grade with a tally of 88/100 and 2nd
was won by Junior shooter, Will Robinson on 70/100.
The High Gun trophies went to David Jackel, O/All Champion. Will
Robinson won the Juniors award and Jim Brown won the encouragement
award prize for his efforts.
Mick Ward takes out Medley Championship
Wangaratta Clay Target Club welcomed 40 keen Down The

the 100 tgt. Medley championship event. The weather
conditions were kind to all competitors, a clear and very
warm day with no wind.
The event consisted of a mix of
Points Score, Single & Double
Barrel and Continental target
shooting events. The combination
of these different disciplines gave
shooters the opportunity to test
their skills over different types of
trap shooting events.
The entire day ran smoothly, with
a number of visiting shooters
congratulating the club on the
way the shoot was conducted.
The club is now fully equipped to
offer three types of clay shooting,
including Skeet, DTL and 5 Stand
Sporting in an effi cient and top
class venue. A big thanks must
go to all the committee members
and club members that volunteer
much of their time to make the
Wangaratta facility one of the best
and friendliest clubs around.

An Interesting thing happened
while I was refereeing No. 3 squad
comprising of visiting shooters
from Sydney and Melbourne,
apparently there was quite a
number of fl ash targets left in
the hoppers from our Christmas
shoot held some weeks earlier
and during the course of the fi rst
bracket of 50 targets Paul Kouroupis
from Sydney incredibly shot
no less than eleven fl ash target
while the other four shooters (all
from Melbourne) did not get a
single one between them, at presentation
the club duly presented
Paul with two long neck bottles of
beer for his feat.

RICHMOND RIVER CLUB NEWS
The fi rst six weeks of
2012 have been hectic for
members of the Richmond

on his way to winning the 50T
Single Barrel championship but
opened the door for a number of

APRIL 2012 – AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET NEWS 59

OLYMPIC TRAP
SHOT AT ECHUCA
Five squads of shooters arrived at the Echuca Clay
Target Club on Sunday the 12th of February to
compete in a fairly diverse program, including a 25
target Olympic Trap cash divide, a Continental Double
Barrel Championship, a Double Rise Championship,
and a Club Mug Handicap event. All this to be shot on a
day of perfect weather conditions, with mid range 20s,
and a gentle breeze to keep the insects away. Also using
black targets, with a light coloured background, was
always going to ensure good scores, and the shooters
responded with some excellent
results.
The Continental was hotly
contested and fi nally, Bendigo
member Daniel Dempsey had to
shoot his 106th target to claim
the Overall Winners Sash and
receive 1st place in AA Grade,
he was pushed that far by Colbinabbin
member Charlie Burns,
Charlie dropped his 106th target
giving him 2nd place in AA
grade. Craig Fitzgerald an Echuca
member was the only shooter
able to down all 40 targets in
Daniel Dempsey OA Cont DB
the 20 Pair Double Rise Championship
and that score of 40/40
earned him the Overall Winners
Sash and 1st place in AA Grade.
Bendigo member, Emma Cox,
dropped only one target, and
that 39/40 earned her the 2nd
in AA Grade trophy.
The Olympic Trap Cash Divide
ended up being an all Echuca
affair, with AA cash collected
by Craig Fitzgerald, A grade
Rob Viney, B grade Steve Traill,
and C Grade cash collected by
Ian Phillips, all members of the
Echuca club. The Club Mug
Craig Fitzgerald OA DR cash of a healthy $90.00 was
won by Steve Atkins because he
outstayed all other contenders.
Other results are as follows:
25 target Continental DB Championship,
A 1st G Fletcher
27/28, A 2nd A Patten 24/25,
B 1st G Ervin 24/25, B 2nd D

NSWCTA Riverina Zone
Sporting Clays
BOYDY HAS STILL GOT IT
Albury-Wodonga CTC continued to enhance its reputation as one of
the better Clubs to shoot at in Southern NSW when it hosted the recent
Riverina Zone Sporting Clays Championship and Team eliminations on
Sunday the 29th of January.
Sporting Clays continues to be one of the fastest growing disciplines
of Clay Target shooting covered by the ACTA, something that a few
more Clubs might like to look at, if they are struggling with attendance
numbers and wish to remain viable into the future. This type of shooting
seems to appeal to a wider cross section than the traditional DTL and
Skeet shooting that many of us started to compete in.
I digress, back to the days shooting as it went. There were 60 odd
shooters who entered, all with high hopes of winning a prize or making
the “Zone Team” ensuring that a fi erce but friendly competitive atmosphere
prevailed throughout the day.
After the fi rst full round the board revealed that the course setters had
done an excellent job, with the front runners only posting in the mid
twentys’ and anyone with a score of 18 or more feeling not too bad about
themselves. At the halfway mark some of the usual suspects were going
OK, with Peter Munro, Graeme Boyd, Barry Hall, arguing over the lollies
with young guns James Willett, Mathew Allit and Adam Shale.
As happens occasionally, Murphy had a say in the day (what can go wrong
will go wrong at the most inappropriate time) with a couple of minor
trap issues that were resolved by the hard working members of Albury-
Wodonga CTC using replacement traps. Although there were some slight
variations in targets as the day wore on, it was generally accepted that the
results were still as they would have been, and the day still fi nished early
enough for everyone to make it home in reasonable time. A great effort
guys, all good, I reckon the “Zone” owes you a carton of cold ones.
The Overall winner for the day with a score that told everyone present

ZZ SYDNEY AUSTRALIA
Cecil Park Clay Target Club
New layout
The fi rst ZZ for the 2012
year - January 29. The
new machines were set up
for the fi rst time & new
layout at Cecil Park.
We had 18 competitors, 16
on full comp. The Handicap
system was used for the fi rst
time, loose 1 metre per sweep
stack win. The comp got on
the way as vision was hard
due to bad light, scores were
low and the traps are live at
all times when shooting 5 a
time you may have up to 3
times the same bird, therefore you never know which bird comes out
next. Young Junior, Carter Matthews took out the fi rst Sweep 9/10.
Second sweep Elton Chectuti, Joseph, Louis Galea, Rami, 8/10. Third
sweep Luke Cassar 8/10. Last sweep Brant Woodward, Sam Rehayem.
With a four way shoot off between Brant Woodward, Sam Rehayem,
Luke Cassar, Carter Matthews on 19/25. O/All winner Sam Rehayem,
2nd Luke Cassar, 3rd Carter Matthews, 4th Brant Woodward. Also it
was nice to see Tong Shang visiting from China, a new face on the scene.
Brant Woodward from Kiwi Land. All in all it was a good day. I would
like to thank Louis Galea with help setting up and packing up and Carter
Matthews, as well, Neale Guy for taking care of the scoring and sweeps

John Sleightholme
shoots a perfect
score at Treloar
The Treloar Club Shoot on Sunday, 12 February
presented good shooting conditions despite being
very hot and humid.
A clean score of 125/125 for the day was achieved by John Sleightholme
from Tamworth. With his casual, good humoured manner,
John seems to put these scores together effortlessly!
Robert and Libby Clarke from Port Macquarie Club made a special
effort to attend. Robert was hot on the heels of John with a score
of 124/125.
Treloar Club member, Sam Gall and Gary Carlyon (Taree Club)
came in with a creditable 121/125 in AA Grade.
In A Grade, Joe Marshall (Tamworth), scored 120/125. Also A Grade
accomplished lady shooter, Libby Clarke, always high on the score
board, on Sunday equaled Treloar Club President Noel Edlington
with a score of 116/125.
First time visitor to Treloar, Hugh Faris from Narrabri, was the B
Grade winner on 117 with another Narrabri shooter, Justin Mann
who tallied 116.
It was a pleasure to welcome Gerald McInnes and his grandson
David from Narrabri to the club. Gerald’s prowess is rubbing off on
David who was promoted from B Grade to A Grade.
Another fi rst time visitor, John Lyell from Walcha Club, received a
warm welcome as did Grahame Armour from Guyra Club, who is
becoming a regular.
Good to see Treloar Club member Vern Scanlon move into A Grade
with his score of 110/125. Congratulations Vern, his regular attendance
has paid off.
Shooting for the fi rst time with a brand new gun, Justin Wall from
Tamworth achieved 110/125. With this effort, we suspect Justin
won’t be long in C Grade. Another C Grader, Brad Mills (Treloar)
continues to climb the score board shooting 90/125.
The party enjoyed a barbeque lunch cooked by Joe, prepared by
Lois and served by Piri.
All in all a great day’s shooting at a steadily growing popular club.

KENT STATE HIGH GUN CHAMPION
The Mount Gambier Gun Club played host to
a South Australian championship event at the

clays title.
Targets were thrown from 12 different traps across two sporting grounds,
testing out the skill and marksmanship of competitors to the fullest in
the hot conditions.
Saturday saw Malcolm Whitehead take out the AA division with 48/50,
while John Torresan’s 45/50 was good enough to take the win in A grade.
B grade was won by Jim Humphris with 43/50, C grade was taken out by
Peter Winser with 38/50, while the Veteran class was secured by Greg
Todd with 42/50. Melanie Freeman’s 32/50 was enough to take out the
women’s competition, while junior shooter Jesse Murrell topped his
class with 36/50.
Sunday saw temperatures soar again with shooters battling 36 degree
heat whilst they attempted to show their prowess.
At the conclusion of the second day of competition, Jeremy Kent stood
out from his peers to take the overall High Gun award with a top score
of 95/100.
Gavin Dyson snuck home in AA with
91/100, ahead of Whitehead (90/100).

with 88/100, taking fi rst place from
Ken Atkin (84/100). Todd remained on
top in the B grade with 89/100, beating
home Tony Sellars, whilst Trevor Decaux’s
72/100 was good enough to take C grade
from Winser. Humphris’ 81/100 saw
him take out veteran from Kevin Dyson.

The New Look of The Beretta DT11
The receiver, slender and elegant, though robust, is embellished by the contrast between the mat parts (side
walls) and the mirror polished ribbon borders that adorn the surface. The blue Beretta logo stands out with
pride along with:
• A new top rib
• A jewelled satin fi nish
• A new ergonomic top lever
• A new safety/selector switch
• A new stylish mat-glossy contrast
• A new nickel-based fi nish
• The carefully tapered rear of the barrel and the profi le of the fences allow rapid target
acquisition during instinctive shouldering.
