Notes 

A.C.T.A. 1974 OPEN CHANlPlONSHlPS 

Applications for open championships to be 

contested during 1974 (that is, Commonwealth, 

State and District Titles) are required to be 

lodged, under Rule 27, by member clubs, in 

writing on the prescribed form number 16, not 

later than Friday, June 29, 1973. Late applications 

receive no consideration. 

Preference will be given to clubs which - (a) 

have the capacity to conduct the various types of 

shoots, i:e., the capacity in both equipment and 

current management. (Note - oscillating traps 

must be used, that is - Snipe, Dam, Winchester, 

and the like, but NOT "plus" traps.) 

(b) have submitted proposed dates together 

with their requested title events. 

Those championships allocated by the Executive 

Committee for the 1974 year will be published in 

November 1973, "Clay Target Shooting News." 

If ho club advertising material has arrived two 

months before a Commonwealth Title event, then the 

Secretary/Editor is empowered to insert an 

appropriate advertisement and to charge the club 

concerned at the late insertion rate. 

Clubs allocated State Titles events by the 

Committee are expected to advertise these State 

events in A.C.T.A. "Shooting News." 

Clubs failing to submit advertising copy for 

Interstate Teams' and similar major events, will not 

receive such consideration in future Executive 

Committee allocations. 

Shoot approvals will be issued, in writing, and are 

subject to the correct interpretations of A.C.T.A. . 

Rules by the clubs concerned and are designed to 

avoid clashing of major programmes with nearby 

clubs. 

Commonwealth, State or District Championships 

No trophies or prize monies may be handed to any 

shooter without the previous submission of his current 

handicap card (see Rule 18) correctly classified and 

progressively marked showing his shooting 

performance to date. It is the responsibility of each 

shooter to keep his own handicap card up to date, and 

this information he always gains by looking at the 

scoreboard during, and after, contesting any event. It 

is then the responsibility of the club secretary to 

notify A.C.T.A. central records, using the handicap 

return form, of any changes in- 

(a) a shooter's class for common mark shooting; 

(b) a shooter's change of handicap as prescribed in 

the handicapping formula.

All applications shall be collated and submitted to

which can be satisfactorily conducted between

This ow, May publication contains the 

arrangements for the eliminations and selection of the 

Australian trench and skeet shooting team and 

individual members for participation in the 1973 

World Shooting Championships. The Australian 

eliminations, both trap and skeet, must be completed 

by the first week of October. The actual 1973 World 

Shooting Championships will be conducted by, the 

Association at the Melbourne Gun Club, Lilydale, 

Victoria, between November 12 to 22. 

However, to date, the A.C.T.A. has only 108 

registered shooters eligible to participate as only these 

108 have completed and lodged the required amateur 

Schedule "A" declaration forms as published during 

1971 and 1972 in our official publication. 

Shooters are reminded that this is an entirely 

individual and personal matter which, once completed 

and lodged is there for all time for each shooter. It is 

a world-wide accepted and directed procedure, which 

is qiite self-explanatory. 

The faa that the A.C.T.A. is an.amateur body with 

amateur provisions in its rules and documentation 

merely indicates the standard of direction and 

procedure of the Association and its member clubs, 

but, this is not the complete answer, because in the 

long run it is not the constitution of an organisation 

that determines its eligibility for Olympic (and other 

amateur) sports, but the action and general 

performances of the Association, its member clubs 

and its registered individual members which will 

determine whether it conforms to the requirements of 

Olympic (amateur) standards. 

Each shooter is asked to complete and lodge a 

Schedule "A" form vouched for by the signatures of 

his club secretary and president, before July 1, 1973. 

A.C.T.A. Arrangements under I.S.U. Rules for

GENERAL 

In club championshipevents, clubsmay choose not to 

conduct according to classes because of small 

attendances however, all shooters must record their 

respective scores on their handicap cards for common 

mark classification orgrading. 

Items decided at meetings of the Executive 

Committee at Adelaide: 

1. Junior shooters may be registered bui could only 

shoot in accordance with the laws of the State 

concerned. (Note: No specific age is prescribed but it 

is accepted by A.C.T.A. as being 18 years - juniors 

receive handicap cards but nil "Shooting News" 

publications). 

2. Item vi to be deleted from all 1973 hand~cap 

cards. 

3. At the January 1973, Lismore G.C. (NSW) shoot. 

there were only nine members shooting. yet at each 

event there was a referee, plus a separate scorer. This 

standard of procedure has been commended by others 

and referee examiners within the area. 

4. All qualied referees and referee examiners are 

requested to wear their badges at all times. (Rule 45). 

5. Rule 93 - Tower shooting may be extended to 

include SB, Points Scoring and DR at the discretion of 

the club concerned, subject to rules 97 and 27, BUT, 

clubs are asked to instal tower traps to throw targets 

with flat trajectories and not to have them thrown to 

an unnatriral height. An extension to the rule to this 

effect is under preparation 

6. As the balance of each revised shooter 

registration fee is received, a pressure sensitive label 

will be mailed to the secretary of the club concerned 

for attaching to the shooter's 1973 handicap card. 

7. In the calculation of high gun scores (see rule 98) 

all points scores are counted as points to achieve a 

total high gun figure score. 

Some clubs appear to feel that a first trophy in each 

class, plus a high gun sash on trophy, is to be'provided. Shooters for whom the full $10 registration fee has

The sharper, clearer vision with Stirling shooting glasses

against the background. The large lenses give undistorted 

vision from centre to edge, and properly fitted Stirling 

glasses won't fog or obscure your vision because they ride

AUSTRALIAN CLAY T ARM SHWTINQ NEWS

For the 1973 Australian National Clay Target The septic toilets were strained to the limit and would 

Championships we all gathered at Bolivar some require extensions for future projected national 

thirteen miles out of Adelaide at the South Australian shoots. 

Gun Club, where the tournament was conducted by Caterers on the ground provided full and take-away 

the Association. meals .and morning/afternoon teas from a marquee. 

T-otal attendance was a record and imposed a 

challenge to the grounds and management personnel. 

With us for the whole of the, programme were some 

36 USA and 37 NZ shooters. We all gathered for a 

pre-National "get-together" on the night of Thursday, 

March 8 in the clubrooms of the Sportsmen's 

Association, Adelaide. 

We shot over a seven-trap layout fitted with six 

Winchester White Flyer Traps plus a spare, which had 

to be used for replacement pans. In addition was a 

Winchester Continental Trap for practice I.S.U. type 

shooting for such a gathering from all over Australia 

and New Guinea, New Zealand and USA to 

experience. Superimposed on two of these layouts 

(grounds 4 and 5) were two skeet layouts ,each 

separated by a solid brick wall some nine feet high. 

Skeet Traps were Damo but are considered to now be 

"Mules" - Damo because of conversions. 

We used trap layout number seven for practice, 

commencing with 10 down-the-line , targets per 

shootkr, however. this was changed to all I.S.U. 

practice as this I.S.U. was so popular. Shooters 

appreciated the challenge of the faster, more variable 

and greater distance thrown targets. Shooters stood 

on especially made wooden pallet-type platforms 

which had them standing at the level required by 

I.S.U. 

single trap rules. Normally these I.S.U. angles 

are wide, consequcnlly we had to reduce these angles 

to overcome target flights from this ground numtier 

seven, interfering with shooters contesting the 

National events on trap number six. 

The scoreboard had been extended by the club 

(and with assistance by I.M.I. Australia Limited, 

which was mucb appreciated) to accommodate some 

600 shooter names. Th~s was used to capacil) over the 

first two days of the programme when two events 

were conducted simultaneously, i.e., Skeet plus 

Double Rise on day one, thence Skeet plus the 

Grand Handicap on day two. 

Cartridge manufacturers I.M.I. Australia Limited 

and Winchester Australia Limited added color to-the 

meeting with a tented rest area and with their 

ammunition diplay/issJng pomts. 

I.M.I. kindly donated, as with past years, the clay 

targets for both the 27th International Trap Teams' 

Match and also for the 33rd Australian National 

Champion of Champions CUD event. 

Both ammunition companies supplied free 

cartridges to the International Trap Team members. 

The South Australian Gun Club received warm 

appreciation from the entire attendance for the 

excellent conditions of the shooting grounds and 

parking, areas - we were on couch grass lawn 

wherever we went. The club had installed a 

win-in-theslot telephone for shooters' genera! use. 

The bar area was an especially equipped large 

mobile caravan complete with its own awning plus a 

number of tables and chairs with sun umbrellas. It 

was noted, however, that this area closely bordered 

the side of trap one, and, as such, the bar had to be 

closed on one occasion because of voice iliterference 

to the. nearby competing shooters. 

Shooters were able to gauge the varying. wind 

directions and stren@hs by checking the Australian 

National and A.C.T.A. flags on their respective poles. 

Shooters were facing due south, with winds varying 

from light to strong throughout the programme, 

visibility was excellent as the grounds give a flat vista 

for a mile aheacj. Most of the shooting was in bright 

sunlight in temperatures of 22 deg. to 34 deg. Celsius. 

with rain during two nights, and during the ANZ 

Championship on day five of the programme. 

Shoot Marshal Barry Wembridge .received full 

co-operation and subsequent praise from all shooters, 

likewise all appreciated the constant support and 

attention by Trap Mechanic/Assistant Marshal, Alan 

Wembridge, both of whom hail from Geeloug, 

Victoria. A.C.T.A. Secretary and the two shoot 

marshals used walkie-talkie radios throughout the six 

days and their constant link, one to the other, greatly 

assisted the. shoot continuity. 

Day One, Friday, March 9, commenced in calm, 

clear air with the 4th Australian National Skeet 

Championship and a rewrd 171 entries (the previous 

best was 131 at Brisbane). 

Skeet nominations were accepted to get this slower 

event under way and nominations remained open till a 

little later than noon as the evefit was scheduled to 

run over the two days Friday/Saturday. Nominations 

for the Double Rise event were accepted, by 

direction, from 9 a.m. and the DR event commenced : 

over five traps from 9.50 a.m. - for this we brought 

the practice trap into the sequence of traps. 

From 274 nbpinationk Elgin Gates of USA emerged j 

as the overall National Double Rise Champion and; 

also as the winner of "A" ciass in this DR event with a 

score of W52 broken targets to win the 1. M. Tyquin 

Perpetual Cup from P. Wray of Melbourne, Victoria 

4952. Elgin Gates broke hi shoot-off pi?ir of targets 

but shooter Wray lost one. Third placegetter was Don 

Taylor of Hobart, Tasmania 4750. 

Dav Two commenced in about 32 dee. Celsius 

temperature and a record 366 shooters (pr&ious best 

286 at Griffith) contested the 24th Grand Australian 

Handicap in calm, bright conditions. Winner was 

Doug Colwell of Tamworth, New South Wales with 

68:68 broken targets from 18 yards who won this 

event from J. D. Evans of Alice Springs, Northern 

Territory, whose score of 6768 achieved acclamation. 

Third placegetter was Ron Wales of New Zealand 

with a 66:67 score.

I don't like to overstate our case. but 

we really do have the two best planes h the sky. 

We are the only airline flying both 

VClOs and 747s to London. 

It is, perhaps, of interest to note 

we fly there most and offer the most 

ways of getting there. 

So, whether you choose our lithe, 

sleek VClO or our buxom, motherly 

747, you may indulge our traditional 

service to your whim's content. 

You may also feel a slight sense 

of superio,Fity knowing you are flying 

in one of the two best planes in

Now that's not a masterly under- 

statement. 

But it's certainly true. 

And one should never be afraid of 

the truth.

AUSTRALIAN M Y TAROET SHOOTING N E m

We then completed the skeet event and the winner 

was Ken Lowry 158:158 of Barmera, South Australia. 

for' the Evans and Balfour Trophy. Runner-up was 

Gerry Williams of USA with 154:1"55 from Barney 

Rooke of Wagga Wagga, New South Wales 66:67. 

These scores appear at variance but it must be 

remembered that in shooting skeet under the quick 

round method, at station two, thesequence is a single 

high followed by a single low house target, thence 

comes a pair (or double) consisting of a high and a 

low target together. 

When both Lowry and Williams. came to station 

two, their respective scores at this stage of their 

seventh rwnd of 25 skeet targets were 154:154. Lowry 

being first +ooter of the shoot-off squad shot at and 

broke all four targets at this station. Whilst Williams, 

who followed him. missed his fim high house target. 

Thus Lowry now had a winning score of 158:158 

whilst Williams score was 154:155. As this was shot 

first missout. Williams did nbt need to finish the 

sequence at this station. 

Day two saw the 8th Australia-New Zealand Skeet 

~eams' Match of five shooters per country shooting 

one round of 25 skeet targets each but with the 

provision that should a tie Occur, that no shoot-off is 

to be considered. New Zealand won this event with 

119: 125 targets from Australia's 118: 125. 

Because of the lateness of the hour it had been 

decided by mutual consent that this ANZ Skeet 

Teams Match be shot on this occasion with the two 

teams as one squad. The two captalns tossed to 

decide and the New Zealanders provided the first 

shooter. 

Day three saw the 21st Australian National Double 

Barrel Championship commence with a field of 394 

contestants (previous best was 340 at Brisbane) under 

very hot temperatures of 34 deg. Celsius and bright 

sunlight with a light south westerly breeze. The J. M. 

Wilson Perpetual Cup was won by I. Newton Thomas 

of Melbourne, Victoria, with 142142 from Max 

Gribben of Horsham, Victoria 141:142 and R. Garth 

of Melbourne, Victoria 142143. 

At the 125:125 target in this event, Newon 

Thomas, M. Gribben, R. Garth, Bruce Hall faced up. 

Shooters Garth and Hall missed at lZ5128 so Thomas 

and Gribben continued shooting until Thomas broke 

his 142nd target but Gribben lost his target. Thus 

Thomas' score was 142142, Gribben 141:142 which 

decided 1st and 2nd plac~ngs. Shooters Garth and Hall 

had to shwt on from 127:128 and they continued till 

Garth survived at the 143rd target with a score of 

142143 and Hall missed his 143rd target leaving 

himself as 141:143 and 4th placing in "A" Class. This 

was sheer co-incidence that these shooters finished 

with similar final scores to those to those of the 1st 

and 2nd placegetters in th~s event. 

Of the shoot-offs for th~s event, 50 targets were 

shot on day three (Sunday) by some 58 shooters who 

had each shot the possible 50:50. At dusk, when the 

shoot-off was stopped because of failing light, only 

seven remained. The shootoff was continued the 

AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NNYS , 

following morning at the commencement of day four, 

Monday, when the above first three placegetters were 

finalised. 

On this third day, Monday, two busloads of ladies 

and shooters travelled some 80 miles northwards to 

the Clarevale Winery at Seven Hills, for a 

complimentary barbecue by the proprietors and also 

to visit on the homeward journey an historic Catholic 

church conducted by the Jesuit Order who also have 

their own small winery. 

The 19th Australian National Single Barrel 

Championship followed on day four, Monday, and 

from 334 contestants (previous best 303 at Brishane) 

M. (Pud) Burgess of Cobar, New South Wales, 

shooting the only possible 50.50 won the W. Rainbird 

Perpetual Cup and also the A Class of this event. 

Runner-up was Tim Catiing of Katanning, Western 

Australia 61:62 from Vin Ryan of &grove, 

. 

Victoria 

. 

60:62. 

The visiting American "South Seas Safari" led by 

Roy and Betty Ann Foxworthy, included a past 

president of the Amateur Trapshooting Association 

- Mr Vic Reinders - who was keen to,shoot his half 

millionth target off sixteen yards. As the American 

trapshooting method of continuity at the tracks is 

claimed by them to be faster than ours, the Americans 

were keen to shoot a squad of five over 25 targets, 

single barrel using an American referee (Elgin Gates) 

and an American loading in the traphouse. We were 

interested in seeing their method and noted that 

whilst the first shooter was shooting, the next two 

shooters had guns loaded at the ready position. The 

referee only called lost targets, so their scorer 

automatically credited each shot which had had no 

referee comment. 

Day five, Tuesday, was prepared for the points 

scoring event - the 12th Australia-New Zealand Trap 

Championship - but sudden rain squalls delayed 

commencement till 9.25 a.m. by common consen;. 

Shooting for the 301 contestants became difficult in 

the windy, overcast conditions and the traps had to be 

reset many times. With his points score of 147:lM 

Sperry Marshall of Hobart. Tasmania, won the overall 

of this event together with "A" Class. His runner-up 

was Donald Taylor of Hobart 175.177 after a shoot-off 

with Ron Wales of New Zealand. Wales' score was 

172: 177. 

This event was followed by a team of six shooters 

from America shooting at 20 targets double barrel 

from 16 yards, followed by a similar team from New 

Zealand and another team from Australia. The New 

Zealand and Australian teams were competing for the 

Tom Glenn Perpetual Cup which was won by New 

Zealand 114:120 . from Australia 112:120. The 

American team scored 112:120. The highlight was at 

the end, when the teams exchanged Association 

neckties as a gesture of goodwill. 

Day six. Wednesday, the' final day of the 

programme saw the Australian team shooting its 

section of the 27th International Trap Teams' Match. 

Each Australian shooter in this 30man team had 

May, 7972-9

earned his team membership by scoring the 30 highest 

scores in this National programme from the three 

events of 50 targets DB, 50 targets SB and 50 targets 

points scoring, totalling a possible 250 figure. There 

had been a shoot-off the night before for the 30th 

member by four shooters each with 235:250. Of the 

actual team, only the highest 25 scores are to count, 

the scores being sealed until July when the final 

section is conducted in England and the placings are 

then announced. 

Two hundred and forty-four shooters contested the 

final event of the programme the Champion of 

Champions Cup event off 20 yards. Winner was Ron 

Wales of New Zealand with a 131:131 score - he also 

won his "A" Class. Runner-up was W. 1. (Bill) Hailes 

of Melbourne, Victoria with 130:131 from Doug 

Murray of Richmond, Queensland with his 103:104. 

During the programme, some of our visitors were 

using release trigger guns, which are prohibited for 

A.C.T.A. shooters. At one stage of the programme, an 

American lady shooter went to the gun rack for her 

Remington automatic shotgun, she then went to the 

tracks believing she was carrying her own 

conventional gun which she had used in previous 

events and the previous 25 targets of this particular 

event. She was the first shooter, and on lane 

one, when she called for the target and pulled the 

trigger nothing happened, so she kept the trigger back 

with her finger, held the gun high as per American 

procedure with the barrel cradled across her elbow 

and turned to show the referee. The referee was 

coming forward, and, as she had established that the 

trigger had been pulled, she let it go. The gun went 

off. She thenrealised, with amazement, that she had 

picked up the wrong gun which was fitted with a 

release trieer -- of which she was quite unaware. 

During the programme the Executive Committee 

had instigated a daily "Jury" of three of the 

Committee, each being from sepacate States of the 

Commonwealth. This provided a speedy reference at 

all times throughout the programme and is the 

required practice in I.S.U. championship shooting. 

Executive Committeemen also acted as independent 

observers at the rear of the tracks when all shootoffs 

were being conducted. 

On Monday, March 14 at 8 p.m. the 37th 

Association Annual General Meeting was held at the 

Sportsmen's Association Clubrooms.

RUMOURS SCOTCHED 

There is no truth in the rumour that Winchester used a secret formula and special 

components to manufacture Shotshells for the Adelaide Nationals - All the Win- 

chester shells were of the same high performance as those readily available from 

your local dealer. The secret is in Winchester's superior cartridge technology now 

proven beyond doubt. The same high quality and superior technology is available - 

in Winchester Reloading Components - Compression formed cases - absolutely 

the best for reloading - Ball Powder - AA wads - Winchester Super Grade Shot. An 

unbeatable combination.
