Shooters and clubs ha1.e 

becn advised through the 

colunnis of this ~ublication 

in the -4ugust is& that~a 

further Official Referee Ex- 

& ~ ~ -~ ~ ~ ~ ~ - - 

1955. Nomil~ations for inciusion in 

the series after that date cannot be 

accepted. Any such applications \\,ill 

necessafily be held over until the 

following series, many months ahead. 

Only registered shooters, of course, 

are eligible and all candidates lnust 

belong to an affiliated club. The 

series ~vill start on October 1 and 

candidates xvill be informed by circular 

and other information of what 

is required. One point to remember 

is that all questions on the examination 

paper must be answered, using 

one side of the paper only. In the 

preulous series several candidates 

used both sides of the paper for their 

ans\x7ers - this will not be acceptable 

in the forthcoming series. Questions 

are also required to be answered in 

full. A number of candidates in the 

last series were altogether too brief 

in their replies and gave the impression 

of trying to short circuit 

the question. This fault also will not 

be acceptable in the next series. 

Answers, approximately 18, must be 

con~pleted within the time limit 

allo\\~ed and also must be coinpleted 

before their home club President. or 

an official referee examiner as ap- 

pointed by the Association. These 

conditions !\,ill be rigidly adhered to. 

Interested clubs are informed that 

applications for permission to conduct 

1956 Open Championships, that 

is Commonw%alth, State and -Distl.ict 

titles, close with the Secretary, 

A.C.P.T.S.A., Box 20389, G.P.O., 

Melbourne, C.1, 011 Septe~nber 30. 

Written applications only. Applications 

should be written quite apart 

fro~n genepal Association business 

for the reason that same are dealt 

wit11 by the Executive Committee 

during its October meeting. Which 

means that any correspo~~dence on 

the point of championships fol: 1956 

should have reference to the subject 

matter mentioned only. If included 

anlong general matter to the Association 

application is lilrely to be 

missed. It is an Executive Commnittee 

direction that only clubs making 

application for titles mill be considered. 

In previous years titles 

have bee11 allocated, in some cases, 

where no application had been lodged. 

In future this will not be done. No 

application ineans no consideration 

\\,hen the 1956 Allocation comes up 

for discussion. The full 1956 Championship 

Allocation will be published 

in the 1955 issue of November 

"News". 

By the time this issue reaches 

readers the 1955 Annual Interstate 

Match mill be well under wav " in the 

~~~ 

various States. Tasmania \~.ill lead 

off wit11 the holdi~~g of the Tasmanian 

section of the match at the 

Tasmanian Club's grounds at St. 

Leonards, just outside Launceston, 

on Septe~nber 3. Nenr Smth Wales 

-. nd Victoria will shoot on the san~e 

day, i.e. September 17, when the 

Bathurst Club and Australian Club 

>\.ill supervise the sections for the 

States mentioned - altl~ourh Rxth- - . 

urst will hold the eliminat-ion shoot 

gl1 the day previous, September 16. 

~ertising in this issue. Given fair 

conditions and normal shooting 

\\.eather, the match proinises to be 

most interesting and could be the 

nlost exciting sincs the start of the 

competition, \\rhich is actually State 

Tcan~ suprenlacy. All clubs conducting 

the contests should ensure that 

only registered shooters are permitted 

to take part. 

A shooter recently inentioiled tn 

the Association that a club, outside 

Victoria, conducts all its championships 

on the regulation automatic 

tmp, but that it then reverts to a 

plus trap for all club shooting. This 

action is indeed unusual and not the 

lcast to say peculiar. Why a club 

should use a plus trap in prelerence 

to an automatic is hard to understand. 

The automatic trap is the 

fairest means of releasing targets 

and should be used at all times in 

order to provide equity of competltion. 

Whilst a plus trap is a useful 

stand-by in case of emergency, its 

fiinctioiis are indecd limited when 

coinpared with the automatic releaser. 

Clubs are required, by Association 

direction, to use the auto- 

~nntic trap in championships and 

majo~. events. 

-4 club has averred that a number 

of its n~elnbers maintained that 

club handicaps "are always 2 yards 

further back than Association 

marks". As an instance it was stated 

that a "shooter on 16 yards club 

handicap moves forward 2 yards 

mhen he colnpetes in an event which 

stipulates Association handicaps". 

There is 110 tie-up between club 

haridicaps and Association marks, 

although inany recomn~endatioiis are 

based on club performnnces, other 

than that they bear no relation whatever. 

Association handicaps are 

based on pel.formance, club recommendation 

and mhat is kno\r.n of the 

particular shooter concerned by the 

Association officials. Some clubs do 

not ca-operate fully with the Association 

in forn~arding results and 

recomn~endations, and this ineans 

that Association officials are cornpalled 

to take steps to handicap 

shooters as considered appropriate. 

... When 

~~~~~ 

such action is taken. the \\,hole 

matter is looked upon froin an 

Australia-wide inale as a u~hale and 

not just as the marks \\.auld apply 

to the particular club. 

Score sheets received from a club 

outside Victoria during the month 

just past revealed the sheets to be 

harl&d in a somewhat unus~~al 

and peculiar style. When a "kill" 

was gained by the shooter the

MR. E. J. PAROW - MR J. D. NEENAN 

MR. J. G. HAMILTON-SMITH. 

The sympathy of all members of the shooting fraternity is 

expressed to the relatives of the above-named who have passed on 

in recent weeks. 

Mr. Parow was one of the veterans of the sport and, in fact, was 

known among older adherents as "one of the quarry boys". Mr. 

Parow shot with the old Nobel Cluh in the late 20's when the rendezvous 

of the club was a quarry hole at West Footscray. 

Mr. Neenan was a prominent member of the Tasmanian Gun Cluh 

at Launceston and a great worker for the sport in his own way in 

the Island State. Mr. Neenan's duties took him all over the northern 

portion of Tasmania and much of the development of new clubs in 

that area is due to his enterprise. 

Mr. Hamilton-Smith was a former President of the Shepparton 

Club and took a great interest in the sport. He was the donor of 

the land on which Shepparton Cluh's extensive lay-out now stands. 

He had extensive dairying interests in northern Victoria. Only last 

year he took a journey overseas, visiting. many of clubs abroad.

GUN GOSSP 

by XORTH COUNTRY 

(in "Shooting Times") 

A shooter has conlplaincd that towards 

the cud of this last season his 

shooting, suddenly and for no apparent 

reason. deteriorated. Up to recently 

he .'was doing very ilicely - 

shooting as well as ever in spite of 

advancing years. Then ire began to 

miss and he adds: "I made a fool of 

myself at our last shoot and I hardly 

feel like n~aki~~g a repetition of it 

(or, taking the risk of doing so) 

agaln. What, if auythmg, do you 

adrisc me lo do?" 

As I see it, his ease is one which 

is fairly comn~o~~ to many of us and 

it shouid not give any ciuse for undue 

depressioil. I rather think that 

he is a bit too conscious of the fact 

that he is no longer young in years, 

and is rrachine the staee when lie 

ill nlace the blame Tor all h~s 

failuris (little or big) on this matter. 

This is, if I may say so, a mistaken 

idea based an the belief that "anno 

'drlnmini" ~~- is -. bound to ret the better 

~~~ 

of you after a certain'jge. This is a 

false notion ~vhich has been proved 

to be false over and over again. Because 

a inan is slowed d0~i.n a bit by 

increasing years, he has not necessarily 

got to shoot worse. 

in the sixties, cxpel.ienced rather 

similar trouble. 

Circumstances, I suppose, alter 

cases, but I have lately been disappointed 

to find that onc or two 

friends of my youth have now deserted 

the run for the rod. One of 

them certaiEly was a good shot and 

might have become first-class. But 

110% he is a fisherman ahnost exclusively. 

After a lapse of many 

vears I met him and exuected to 

hear all about the shootink he had 

done. But no - it was sll about 

fishing. Much though I respect the 

followers of the contemplative art 

and much though I like fishing, I 

- 

xreatlv ureier to shoot. A nun means 

:ar il;oce to me than thi best of 

rods-it always has done so and it 

always will. 

Well, I believe that this is largely 

n matter of convenience. Facilities 

for shooting may remain unchanged, 

but a shGter's circumstances -a& 

these days continually altering and 

other habits are forced upoil him. 

Then he finds that fishiun is an excellent 

sport and so he Gttlcs down 

to fish. Or of course the reverse may 

happen. What I do notice partici- 

Shooting is a following ~vl~ich, larly is that when a man goes over 

above all, calls for experience. And to fishing in middle life, he seldom 

in much of it experience is of greater returns. But I do know that much of 

practical use than extreme physical 

activity and fitness. Up to a point, 

anyway. The good shot knoxvs where 

and how to stand, how to take his 

birds at the right point and with the Wanted to purchase 

minimum of effort. He mav almost 

be compared to the seasoned boxer 

in the Ging who makes his opponent 

do the "running around," reserving 

his energies for what rcally matters. 

I doubt if this reader is really 

deteriorating. I suspect that he was 

,.... inst "off .~- it" -~ at 

~~~ 

the end of the season 

and there mas no time left to make 

good again. There is, however, the 

chance that his eyesight may have 

changed in some way-and it might 

be advisable for him to have this 

cheeked up. A relative of mine, when

this is simply due to circun~stances. 

And since the latter have been 

scaxcely comfortable these last 15 

years or so, changes have to be expected. 

All the same I am sorry 

when a friend gives up the gun. 

Manv a busv man. I know. cannot 

find "time both to shoot and fish. And. 

I suppose, it is easier for a man td 

fish than to shoot. 

So many of my relations have been 

good vith bath rod and gun that I 

have erhaps rather taken it for 

grante2 that both these great sports 

could be follorved at will. I fear, 

though, that matters are not so 

simple as that today. To follow hot11 

sports freely yon need now to be exceptionzilly 

fortunate. So, as the nett 

result, we find people settling for one 

or the other and considering themselves 

lucky to be able to do that 

much! 

In my own circle of relations the 

one who is the best shot is also the 

best fisherman. He is, I think I call 

say, nearly first-class at both these 

sports. But as matters are, he has 

been lucky. Many of us today never 

enjoy sufficient practice at either 

sport. So our potentialities are not 

developed and nobody can say what 

might have been. A lot of skill thus 

goes to seed.
