Daily Levy 

The Daily Shooter levy will change as from 1 January 2011 to 

$3.00 per person per day (including GST). This will be the same 

for all disciplines (Skeet, DTL, Sporting, Compak, ISSF and School 

Shooting). It is hoped that this will simplify the collection of this 

levy. Clubs will still be required to identify what type of shoot the 

levy is for as $2.00 will be split into general NZCTA income and 

$1.00 will be put into a reserve account dedicated to that discipline 

where the funds came from. Skeet and DTL will be combined as it 

is often difficult to separate this at club level. 

Registration fee 

Clubs are reminded that shooters must pay a NZCTA registration 

after they attend two club shoots in any one year. Clubs are asked 

to encourage these people to pay their registration fee. There is a 

reduced fee for new members for the remainder of this year. This 

is $37.50 for full members, $25.00 for a Family members, $20 for 

a Junior and $15 for a Social member. Any shooter who has not 

paid their 2010 registration fee that was a member last year (or 

any year going back 5 years) must pay the full fee applicable to 

their category. We do not give discounts for those who pay late

PRESIDENT’S REPORT 

YOU AND YOUR CLUB 

I have had the privilege of travelling 

around several clubs lately and 

have been very impressed with the 

improvements in facilities that are 

taking place for the benefit of all 

members of the NZCTA. 

Many of these improvements have been 

completed by a dedicated few people who 

are unselfishly giving up their personal 

time for the benefit of us all. I would like to 

encourage all members on a local level to 

get involved in your local club affairs and 

offer your help to club officials, especially 

those younger members who may be too 

shy to step forward; I can assure you your 

offer of help will be greatly appreciated. 

Local community clay target club assets 

have been built up over a long period of 

time, through local community involvement, 

sometimes over 100 years. The commitment 

by members and their families to supporting 

these assets is exemplary. 

The NZCTA also has made a major effort 

in supporting local clubs over an extended 

period also. 

However it is disappointing, to see the 

number of unregistered shooters who are 

“FREELOADING” on the local club, by not 

paying either their NZCTA registration 

fee, or their local club sub. Some of these 

people are continuing to do this selfishly on 

a regular basis, falling on the good nature 

of the Secretary when entering, with some 

weak excuse. 

The club’s responsibility is quite clear as 

far as the 2 shoot Rule is concerned for new 

intending members. You must pay your 

NZCTA Registration on the third occasion 

you shoot in any year at any club. To local 

club members I ask for your support to 

encourage these people to pay their 

registration fee. Many of you know who 

they are. NZCTA Officials don’t like acting 

as Policemen, so would all clubs at their 

next committee meeting, check your local 

shoot record book, consult your secretary, 

and approach these people when they 

next enter an event at your local club. These 

people are freeloading on the NZCTA public 

liability insurance that you have personally 

paid for, and also your personal family time 

that has supported your club. 

There are previously registered 

competitors who have not paid this year’s 

subscription also. Please encourage 

these people to front up on the next 

occasion they visit your club. 

At our last NZCTA Executive Meeting 

the rules regarding the payment of 

daily levies have been amended 

and clarified. The daily levy for all 

disciplines has now been simplified 

to avoid confusion. The new daily fee 

is now $3. This is split to $2 to the 

NZCTA general administration fund 

and $1 going to a separate travel 

fund for the respective discipline. 

Some clubs have for many years 

been under a misapprehension that 

levies don’t have to be paid for certain 

“novelty “events. Daily levies must be 

paid for all competition events at club 

level including “duck shooter “ events and 

“Christmas “ shoots. Daily levies must also 

be paid on “cosmopolitan” shoots held on 

registered club grounds. 

Currently your Executive is contacting 

prospective sponsors for sponsorship 

of NZCTA national events. Our job is 

made so much easier when your support 

of these sponsors’ products makes it a 

win win situation for both the sponsor 

and the NZCTA. Sponsorship is not a 

donation. Sponsors expect a return 

on their investment and a continuing 

growth in sales. When you next purchase 

ammunition, a firearm, shooting apparel, or 

a new chainsaw for your wife to use while 

you are away shooting, please support the 

sponsors who support you. 

Recently I attended the North Island 

Secondary School Championships at 

Waikato Clay Target Club. What a marvellous 

spectacle it was with all school teams in 

uniform and exemplary behaviour from 

our young members. Team coaches and 

managers should be congratulated for 

converting these students into role models 

for our sport. I talked to one Principal 

supporting his team, and he stated the 

NZCTA had turned “rabble into gentlemen.” 

By the next Executive Meeting a new 

draft of the “Range Manual” will be ready for 

approval and will be ready to be released to 

clubs as a discussion document. By March 

of next year the manual will be adopted by 

clubs following discussion at the AGM. In 

addition to the manual, all new clubs and 

new ranges must be fully compliant, but 

existing clubs must comply where possible 

and manage non-compliant areas. No 

clubs will be closed by the NZCTA who do 

not comply. 

International Events are shortly on 

the horizon for our members. The four 

Commonwealth Games athletes have been 

supported by the NZCTA, granting them 

$1000 each to be spent on ammunition or 

targets for their preparation for the Games. 

We wish them every success and hope that 

they do us proud in their event. In February 

we are hosting the World English Sporting 

Championship at TVDA ground near 

Thames. Many hours of dedicated work 

will culminate in a tremendous spectacle 

showcasing the NZCTA to the World. 

Full details can be found on the Website 

(www.wesc2011.com). 

Moving the NZCTA and Executive 

into the 21st century has now spread to 

computerisation of shooter records to be 

available at local club level. This will be a 

major focus for our 5 year strategic plan. 

What is proposed is: 

• Step 1 from 2011 shooters will have an 

individual bar code on their handicap 

sticker of their handicap book. 

• Step 2 is that in 2011 the NZCTA 

Identifies and adopts a national 

computer programme. 

• Step 3 is that during 2012 year trials 

at club level begin using a bar code 

system. 

• Step 4 At no determined date full 

computerisation of shoots at club level 

with a plastic swipe card replacing the 

current shooter’s handicap book. 

This will ensure all gradings, meterages, 

current registration fees, and classifications 

will be available at every registered club 

attended. A common computer system

DTL and Skeet Ladies, Juniors and Veterans teams, members 

of the 2011 teams who travel to the opposite Island for the 

final competition will be allocated $100 each. 

ISSF Zone Championships 

In an effort to help clubs that run an ISSF Zone the NZCTA 

Council has ratified an additional levy to make hosting 

these events financial viable for the host clubs. Effective 

immediately the Skeet and Trench will have an additional 

$7 levy and the Double Trap will have an additional $14 levy. 

This is to cover the cost of the targets for the finals. Clubs may 

also charge an additional $5 per event trap levy

events must be shot for anytime in October, 

November or December. 

Reduced registration fee

Marlborough 

2010 Provincials 

Nelson Waimea Gun Club 5 & 6 June. 

We were ready, the grounds were 

ready, all that was needed were shooters, 

great targets and hopefully some fine 

weather. What could be simpler? Well, 

Saturday was pretty much perfect. With 

55 shooters in attendance, and overcast 

and still conditions made those orange 

bits of clay irresistible. As was proven by 

the outstanding shooting of a total of 7 

possibles in the Double Rise and 6 possibles 

in the Minis. 

Sunday 

Dawned not so great on the weather 

front – actually that’s an understatement! 

Another overcast, still day, but just to make 

sure everyone was having fun, patches of 

rain, heavy rain and really heavy rain. Now 

drenched and soggy under foot, made 

the day’s programme an even bigger 

challenge. But again, some impressive 

shooting throughout the day saw 5 squads 

with possible scores head out to shoot off 

the Single Rise event. After an epic battle 

that didn’t finish until after dark, and saw 

an amazing 311 tgts shot, and shooting the 

last 80tgts together, were Daniel Warnock 

and Graeme Ede. Congratulations to both 

shooters, with Graeme taking out HOA and 

Daniel 1st A Grade. A record for our Club – 

the most targets shot in a shoot off. 

Our congratulations go to all shooters 

who shot so well over the weekend. With 

many thanks to the large number of you 

who travelled so far to get here. Thanks for 

coming and we look forward to seeing you 

here again. As always, our club has a strong 

volunteer base that puts in huge amounts 

of time before, during and after an event 

like this, thank you all for a job well done. 

But the last word belongs to an 

outstanding shooter, who achieved a 

personal goal, by finishing only one target 

down for the weekend (234/235). Our 

many congratulations go to High Gun

Seven squads contested the first day of the 200 skeet weekend. 

Forecasts were for bad weather and heavy rain. Thankfully this did 

not eventuate and while the light conditions were not that good 

at the end of both days, it was still quite good for a mid-winter 

event. Some very good shooting was witnessed by all as Steve 

Cooper and Dave Da Silva finished day one clean on 100 straight. 

Scott Lewis led the B grade on 92 with Councillor Mike Holmes hot 

on his heals with a 91. C grader Scott Verran from Tauranga with 90 

led Amy van Bysterveldt on 79. 

Day 2. Weather still good and today 10 squads appeared to 

contest the second hundred. This would put pressure on the to 

skeet fields in use but was not seen as a problem. Things moved 

along smoothly and a decision was made to re-hash squads to 

allow the North/South entries to finish in good time so that bad 

light would not affect their scores. Naturally this did not meet with 

the approval of some and seven people withdrew from the last 50. 

This decision on light proved to be unfounded and in hindsight 

was unfortunate on those affected. Next year the third skeet field 

will be prepared and employed to make sure this issue does not 

repeat itself. 

Going into the last 50 targets Steve Cooper and Colin Heard 

were all tied up on one down. Steve could not hold on with a 47, 

not enough to hold Heard (or Shag as the Rotorua boys call him). 

Colin rose to the occasion and shot the last 50 clean. 

Colin maintained his great form to record 99 + 99 for 198 and 

the weekend HOA win. 

B grade was headed by Scott Lewis with a fine 186 after a great 

tussle with Mike Holmes. C grade was won by Trevor Bracken with 

a credible 143. A good result for a very new shooter. A highlight 

for the locals was Allan Neill’s performance. Allan recorded a 

99/100 on Sunday after missing low eight in his fourth round. Very 

disappointing for Al but still a very creditable performance and 

put some pressure on some of the Rotorua A team regulars who 

didn’t bring their best to this tournament.

RELOADERS 

SUPPLIES 150 

June 2010 

Thames Clay Target Club 

A terrible weather forecast with heavy rain and strong winds 

obviously deterred a number of shooters from venturing out as 

the numbers for this year’s event at 64 were well down on last 

year. Despite that we were still very pleased to host shooters from 

as far away as Northland (Bruce & Doreen Sanderson), as well as 

Auckland, Waikato (even Cambridge/Te Kuiti) and BOP. Even with 

heavy rain threatening possible flooding in the previous few days 

we had great support from Whitianga. A very pleasing aspect was 

the 16 Juniors and 6 ladies who competed. 

With his recent passing, this was the first Reloaders 150 at which 

Ron Dent was not present and the club gratefully acknowledges 

the support Ron personally gave to the club as a competitor 

and also with Reloaders Supplies Ltd as a sponsor. Many thanks 

to Scotty Stonex for his help organizing the sponsorship at this 

time, which must have been difficult for him both personally and 

professionally. 

The event was a 150 target Single Rise competition shot over 

three rounds of 50 targets. The first round saw 13 possibles of 50 

shot by Doreen Sanderson, Mason Reed, Gavin Wenham, John 

Farrow, Stan Whiteman, Deano Horn, Rob Anderson, Shawn Sands, 

Brian Hartley, Ian Hovenden, Colin Kennedy, Bill Dunn and Martin 

van de Wetering. 

Round two produced eight possible scores from Deano Horn, 

Shawn Sands, Les Clarke, Brian Hartley, Rob Andrews, Martin van 

de Wetering, Natalie Curtis and Ian Marshall. That left four shooters 

on a possible 100 (Deano Horn, Shawn Sands, Brian Hartley and 

Martin van de Wetering) at lunch time. 

The final round took its toll with most of the front runners but 

produced another eight scores of 50 from Liam Buchanan, Amy 

van Bysterveldt, Deano Horn, Gary Vittle, Rob Andrews, Colin 

Kennedy, Natalie Curtis and Ian Marshall. 

With Shawn, Brian and Martin all dropping a target, it left only 

Deano Horn on a possible of 150 and the HOA in AA grade. 2nd in 

AA was Brian Hartley and 3rd Martin van de Wetering. With only 

one trophy prize each, Shawn Sands took out the Junior prize and 

trophy with his 149/150. 4th was Ian Marshall (148) and 5th Ian 

Hovenden (148) after a shoot off that also included young junior 

shooter Liam Buchanan. 

In A grade 1st was Colin Kennedy on 148 followed by Rob 

Andrews (147) and 3rd Bill Smith (146), 4th Mason Reed (146) and 

Doreen Sanderson (146). In B grade 1st was Andrew Welch (145), 

2nd Deborah Pritchard (145), 3rd William Dunn (143), 4th Amy van 

Bysterveldt (143) and 5th Glenn Ramsay (142). C grade saw 1st go 

to Campbell Jolley with a fine 140, followed by Brian Boult (139), 

3rd Ben Naylor (137), 4th Kevin Storey (130) and 5th Gavin Naylor 

(129). 

The Ladies was won by Natalie Curtis with 148 after shooting 

most of her first 50 single barrel following a gun break down and 

during which she dropped her only two targets of the day. Juniors 

was won by Shawn Sands (149), Veterans Rob Anderson (148) and 

the Super Vet trophy went to Colin Kennedy

Rex Innis Memorial 

Thames Clay Target Club Inc 

1st A grade Steve Cooper HOA Chris Cassin 1st C grade Glenn Ramsay 

Over the weekend of the 29th and 30th 

May 2010 the Rex Innis Memorial Skeet was 

held at the Thames Club, for the first time 

in May. In all the previous years this event 

has been held in April, just prior to the start 

of Duck Shooting, which was a real passion 

of Rex Innis’. This is a prestigious event for 

the club as Rex was a life member of the 

Thames Club and a very strong supporter 

of clay target shooting in the local region, 

so this skeet event was established in his 

memory some years ago after his death. 

Rex never got to see the new Thames Club 

grounds, which he would be very proud of. 

The weekend weather was forecast to 

be reasonable for this time of the year. With 

light winds, a changeable light at times 

and an annoying late afternoon sun, there 

was enough to challenge the shooters who 

attended from far and near. It was very 

pleasing for the Thames Club members to 

be able to host shooters from as far away 

as Northland, Hawkes Bay, New Plymouth 

and even Timaru. The numbers attending 

also showed an acceptance of the new 

date, away from the Duck Shooters’ events 

and opening day, with 41 competitors on 

Saturday and 46 for the Rex Innis 100 on 

Sunday. 

With 2 skeet fields in operation, both 

were very busy days to get through the 7-8 

squads for 100 targets each. With only a few 

problems, this was achieved in reasonable 

time, although the late afternoon sun 

made High 1 and Low 8 difficult targets in 

the last round for most (unless the cloud 

cover gave some assistance). 

With a new 3rd skeet field due to come 

into operation shortly, the Thames Club will 

handle this event in a far easier manner in 

the future and there are plans afoot for a 4th 

field to add to the facilities. The objective 

in the near future is to be able to offer 

100 to 150 targets on a club practice day 

(ie Saturday) along with 100 skeet as part 

of the club programme on the next day, 

Sunday. This would give skeet enthusiasts 

the chance to shoot 200-250 targets over 

a weekend for some months of the year. 

Many thanks to club members present for 

their work over this weekend and to all the 

visiting shooters who attended and gave 

their support. 

Saturday 29 th May – 

100 target Skeet event 

There were 33 possible rounds of 25 

shot with 29 in A grade, one in B grade and 

three in C grade. Over the whole day there 

were two scores of 100 from Ray Everett 

and Tony Truss (who had just returned 

from winning the Aussie Skeet National). 

There was only one score of 99 by Steve 

Cooper, followed by three of 98 from 

Graham Geater, Dean Everett and John 

Dangen. After a doubles shoot off the day’s 

event was won by Tony Truss as HOA and 

Ray Everett was 1st A Grade, Steve Cooper 

was 2nd A with Dean Everett 3rd. 1st in B 

grade was Yvonne Slattery with a fine 94 

followed by Colin Pritchard (93) and Josh 

Wilson (92). C grade was won by young 

Scott Verran (94) with Den Wilkins (92) 2nd 

and Mike Boakes (88) 3rd. 

Sunday 30 th May – 

Rex Innis 100 Skeet 

Light conditions were a little more 

testing this day with changeable breezes, 

but again a great day’s shooting with 35 

possibles of 25 (34 in A grade and only one 

in B). However, there were three scores of 

100 shot by Ray Everett, Chris Cassin and 

Steve Cooper. Unfortunately Ray had to 

leave to catch a flight home before the 

shoot-offs could be held and therefore 

fore-went the chance to win the Rex 

Innis Trophy. Ultimately the shoot off was 

won by Chris Cassin over Steve Cooper, 

wresting this event title from Merv Pratt 

who has held this for the last two years. 

For the first time this year the winners 

also received the specially struck Thames 

Club Championship medals for HOA and 

1st in each grade. 2nd in A grade was Ray 

Everett and 3rd was Graham Geater on 99. 

B grade was again won by Yvonne Slattery 

on 92, followed by Andrew O’Hara (91) and 

Richard Westlake (91). 1st in C grade was 

Glenn Ramsay (88), 2nd Mike Boakes (87) 

and 3rd Diane Boenders (81). 

Over the two days’ shooting there 

was just one 200 possible scored by Ray 

Everett. This was followed by a 199 by 

Steve Cooper and 198 from Tony Truss who 

ended a very good long run following his 

good form in Australia. In B grade Yvonne 

Slattery ended the two days with a very 

credible 186. The best C grade score was 

Mike Boakes on 175

The prize table 

The Repco 100 Handicap By Distance was hosted by Hutt Valley 

on the 18th July. Many thanks to Derek Haggerty who arranged 

the sponsorship by Repco, Upper Hutt. 34 shooters arrived to 

contest the prizes up for grabs and although the weather didn’t 

seem too bad, only a few shooters shot to their expectations. 

Many blaming the constantly changing light conditions. 

Repco Upper Hutt supplied a very good range of prizes down 

to tenth place with a total value of approx $1000.00. As we 

determined the ten places, we let the winners take first pick from 

the prize table as peoples motoring needs vary considerably. 

Highest score of the day with a very good 99 from 20 metres 

was Dave Turner. 2nd place was Adam Green, after dropping three 

targets in his first 25, Adam shot the rest of the day clean to score 

97. Young Gregory Bentley was 3rd recording a 96. Four shooters 

on 95’s had to shoot off with 4th place going to Rick Spence, Peter 

Peryer taking 5th place, Sandy Rae 6th place and Sam Kirk taking 

7th place. 

The 94’s also had to shoot off to determine the last few place 

getters with 8th place going to the man who arranged the 

sponsorship, Derek Haggerty, Jamie Peryer taking 9th place and 

Tim Anstey 10th place. 

Thanks again to Derek Haggerty for arranging the sponsorship, 

all the prizes were well received by their respective recipients. 

Also, thanks to Robert Prince for setting the targets, the two Daves, 

Turner & Hooch and to all others that pitched in with refereeing 

and scoring to help run the day.

1, Woodville 2, Palmerston North 2 and 

Wanganui/Rangitikei 3. All up 43 shooters 

took part in this Annual Teams event for the 

Wanganui, Manawatu, Waimarino districts. 

Over the years the number of competing 

teams has declined as we saw the demise 

of the many clubs from this region, namely 

Waimarino, Taihape, Marton, Ohingaiti, 

Rangitikei, Rifle Rod &Gun. 

All trophies used to be shot at individual 

shoots and clubs, but they have now been 

all combined into one day and shot for 

at the club winning the majority of the 

trophies. 

These trophies are keenly shot for and 

it is an ideal team event for clubs to blood 

some newer team members. 

Wanganui No1 won the Dalziel Skeet 

Shield with an average result of 116/125 

from Palmerston North No1 on 114 and 

Woodville No1 on 110. 

The 14 target Donnelly Gymcrack Trophy 

was well shot by Palmerston North No1 

with 68/70 followed closely by Wanganui 

No3 on 67, Woodville No1 and Wanganui 

No2, 64 

There were some good individual scores 

shot in the McGovern 25tgt Points Shield 

and as teams the Wanganui No1 scored 

360/375 to come in first followed a little 

further back, Palmerston North No1 356 

and Wanganui No2 353. 

The Glenn Shield saw the highlight 

of the day. This shield is shot for over 

two 10 target visits to the traps. After 

the first 10tgts there were 3 teams in 

close contention leaving it up to the final 

10tgts and shooters’ nerves to decide the 

winning team. Wanganui No1 were able to 

withstand the pressure and walked off the 

mark with a creditable 100/100 followed in 

second equal placing on 99/100 Woodville 

No1 and Palmerston North No1. 

The final shoot for the day was the 

Sutherland 10pr Double Rise. This as 

usual showed a mixed bag of scores with 

5 shooters returning 18. As teams the 

winning club was Woodville with an 83 

only just holding out Wanganui No1 on 82 

and Wanganui No2 close behind with 80

100 Pair Double Rise 

July 24th 2010 - Gorge Road Clay Target Club 

Waking up on Saturday 

morning at 7am and looking out 

the lounge window to see what 

the weather gods had given us 

for our Beretta 100 Pair Double 

Rise day it was good to see 

perfect conditions! There was 

a nice frost on the ground, no 

wind and the odd cloud around. 

Members began arriving at 

the club around 9am to crank 

up the potbelly fire to keep all 

the out-of-towners warm and 

Colin Waghorn 1st A grade to set the traps up. Shooters 

started arriving just after 10am, 

and were shooting by 10.20. By then the frost had gone and the 

targets were flying perfectly. We eventually got nine five shooter 

squads. Scores started coming in and after round one the top 

score was 47/50 from Lindsay Stephenson (Rotorua), Gavin Searle 

(Canterbury), Colin Waghorn and Brad Warnock (Gorge Road). 

Round two saw Gavin Searle shoot another 47, Alan Wilson 

(Gorge Road) 46, Dale Robertson (Gorge Road), Duncan Jefferies 

(Darfield), Lindsay Rodgers (Southland), Tony Truss (Rotorua) and 

Colin Waghorn shoot 45s. There was the odd puff of wind every 

now and again but that didn’t affect the targets at all. 

Lunch was being cooked by Jimmy, Val and Bronny from about 

half past 11 and was ready for shooters before round three started. 

Sausages, meat patties, mashed spuds, peas and salads were 

dished up to enjoy. Round three saw Gavin Searle top score with 

another 47, Colin Waghorn 46, Dale Robertson, Duncan Jefferies, 

Tony Truss, Sheryl Anglem (Amberley) and Ewan Pirie (Mataura) all 

shooting 45. 

The last round we decided to go down to two fields as they are 

both set up with a right and a left handed trap and we thought it 

was the fairest way. 

The top score of the day come from the last round with Colin 

Waghorn dropping only two targets to shot a 48/50. Gavin was 

“Mr Consistent” shooting another 47 as well as Tony Truss. 3.45pm 

saw the end of the 100 pair for everyone. Only one shoot off had 

to take place, and that only went 10 targets. 

Beretta was our major sponsor for the day. They donated a 391 

Urika semi automatic shot gun for HOA which was won by Gavin 

Searle (188/200). 1st A grade Colin Waghorn (186), 2nd Tony Truss 

(182), 3rd Brad Warnock (180), 4th Jeff Munro (177). B Grade 1st

little laughs 

LITTLE ERIC 

I was having trouble with my computer. So I called Eric, 

the 11-year-old next door, whose bedroom looks like 

Mission Control and asked him to come over. Eric clicked a 

couple of buttons and solved the problem. 

As he was walking away, I called after him, ‘So what was 

wrong?’ He replied, ‘It was an ID ten T error’ 

I didn’t want to appear stupid, but nonetheless inquire, 

‘An, ID ten T error? What’s that? In case I have to fix it 

again.’ 

Eric grinned . . . ‘Haven’t you heard of an ID ten T error 

before?’ ‘No’, I replied. 

‘Write it down’, he said, ‘and I think you will figure it out’. 

So I wrote down I D 1 0 T. 

I used to like Eric, the little bastard.

New ISSF Opportunities 

A NZCTA sanctioned “ISSF Development Squad” will be selected 

and offered the opportunity to attend the Australian National ISSF 

titles in Perth January 2011. 

Squad to be made up of – 2 x Trench, 1 x Double Trap, 1 x ISSF 

Skeet, 1 x Ladies Trench, 1 x Junior Trench, Shooters. (Maximum of 

6 in total) 

Selection will be over the four NZ Zone Events. 

All events to count but your best two results to be used for 

selection thus a minimum of two events must be attended to be 

considered. 

Points will be allocated in the following manner; 

1st to 6th including the final in Trench, Skeet and Double Trap 

will be allocated points as follows; 

1st = 6 points, 2nd = 5 points, 3rd = 4 points, 4th = 3 points, 5th 

= 2 points, 6th = 1 point. 

Juniors and Ladies 1st = 3, 2nd = 2, 3rd = 1 point in their 

individual competitions. 

Category points will be considered on their own for selection 

of Ladies or Juniors. 

For all positions any tied scores will be shot off at the last event 

if required, anyone not in attendance at the last event involved 

in a tied situation will be treated as absent from any shoot off 

situation. 

NZCTA will pay individual entry fees into the Australian National 

Championship event but funding beyond that will probably be on 

a self funded basis unless other funding becomes available by the 

time of selection of squad. 

The development squad will be announced at the conclusion 

of the final Zone event with the members being given the 

opportunity to either accept or decline their position within the 

squad. A commitment to either travel or not must be given within 

7 days of announcement of squad and any positions not taken up 

will be offered to the next competitor on the ranking list. 

Intent! 

The intention of creating this squad is to give our NZ shooters the 

opportunity to travel to an international competition as part of 

an official NZCTA group and compete in an environment outside 

of our domestic circuit, hopefully giving them valuable exposure 

and experience to a significantly higher standard of competition 

which should help them to set new goals for achievement to higher 

standards, greater opportunities and a thirst for commitment and 

success at other events. 

While I am sure some will say this opportunity has no real 

funding attached to it therefore not much of an opportunity, 

someone with the true drive to excel in this form of the sport will, 

I am sure, look on this for what it is: a true opportunity to develop 

and strive towards what they want to achieve within their chosen 

discipline. I look forward to watching the true ISSF shooters strive 

for their best successes over these four events and in doing so 

will not only demonstrate a real commitment to succeed but also 

will add real value to our local domestic competitions by adding 

numbers of shooters to these events. 

Sadly, in the past, many of the clubs conducting these events 

have not had good competitor numbers at these events and 

given their financial and time commitment to the ISSF disciplines 

deserve better support from the shooters of NZ. 

Who knows, this just might be the catalyst for some of our 

standard discipline shooters to come and have a go at our Olympic 

style sport. 

It certainly will develop your mental discipline techniques and 

improve any form of clay target shooting you may follow. You may 

even find it is actually good fun as well!!! See you there. 

Footnote: 

Changes to our North Island ISSF Dates for 2011. 

• January 7th – 9th North Island Double trap, Trench and Skeet. 

At the Waikato Clay Target Club. 

Changes to our National ISSF dates and format for 2011. 

• February 17th – 20th South Island and NZ Trench and Skeet 

Championships. At the Canterbury Clay Target Club. 

• April 16th and 17th South Island and NZ Double Trap 

Championship. At the Canterbury Clay Target Club. 

This change has been brought about by the crowding of the 

calendar in February. However it is the perfect opportunity to try 

the separation of the Double trap events on to their own stand 

alone weekend. This may prove to be a real success. Only time 

will tell! It certainly will make it cheaper in time off work and 

accommodation required. Again, this could see more involvement 

of our standard discipline shooters into these events. So out of 

something slightly negative, may come a huge positive!

McGREGOR SHIELD & 

SHOOTERS WORLD TROPHY 

McGregor Shield Winners, Nightcaps No 1 (L-R) Allan Sinclair, David Dickie, Tegan 

Sutherland, Steve Diack, Russell Kelly 

On the 4th July the Nightcaps Clay Target 

Club held its Annual McGregor Shield and 

Shooters World Trophy Match. The day really 

couldn’t get much better for a winter shoot, 

as the number of possibles showed. 

Ten teams from as far north as Moa 

Creek and Alexandra came to try to take 

the McGregor Shield home with them, but 

Nightcaps has had it on the wall for a year 

and really didn’t want to lose it. After all the 

scores were tallied up, Southland No 1 and 

Nightcaps No 1 were 74 out of a possible 

75, so off they went for a shoot off which 

came down to the 2nd last target of the 

last Southland shooter to miss which gave 

the home team the glory for another year. 

Well done to all the team shooters who shot 

possibles in this match. Of the 50 shooters 

half shot the lot, which is pretty good 

shooting. 

Next on the programme was the Shooters 

World Handicap by Distance trophy match. 

The club would like to thank Lindsay Duncan 

from Shooters World for his continued 

sponsorship to this club for this match. 

Without sponsorship we wouldn’t be able to 

put up such a good line-up of prizes. 

Using the NZCTA Handicap by Distance 

handicap has made this shoot a very 

interesting shoot with possibles spread 

right over the distances. We had 14 

shooters line up for the shoot off. They shot 

15 targets then re-squadded as there were 

only 6 shoots left. Very soon it came down 

to Joe Wilson from Southland and Hamish 

Bell from Nightcaps to fight it out. They both 

missed their 31st target so had to start again. 

They went for another 21 targets before Joe 

let his slip away and Hamish hit his to take 

the win. Well done to both shooters. 

It was very pleasing to see so many young 

school shooters attend this shoot, and the 

way they are shooting possibles hopefully 

bodes well for the future of our sport. 

I would like to thank all shooters who 

attended this shoot, and hope you enjoyed 

your day at Nightcaps. I would also like to 

thank our members who helped inside and 

out to make this shoot run very smoothly.

THE AMAZING CUCUMBER 

This article was published in the New York Times as part 

Just finish at a business lunch and realise you don’t have 

of their “Spotlight on the Home” series that highlighted 11 a breath freshener? Take a slice of cucumber and press 

it to the roof of your mouth with your tongue for 30 seconds to 

creative and fanciful ways to solve common problems. 

eliminate bad breath. The phytochemicals will kill the bacteria in 

your mouth responsible for causing bad breath. 

1 

Cucumbers contain most of the vitamins you need every 

day, just one cucumber contains Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, 

Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Folic Acid. Vitamin C, calcium, 

iron, magnesium, phosphorus, Potassium and zinc 

2 

Feeling tired in the afternoon? Put down the caffeinated 

coffee and pick up a cucumber. Cucumbers are a good source 

of B vitamins and carbohydrates that can provide that quick pickme-up 

that can last for hours. 

3 

Tired of your bathroom mirror fogging up after a shower? 

Try rubbing a cucumber slice along the mirror, it will eliminate 

the fog and provide a soothing spa-like fragrance. 

4 

Are grubs and slugs ruining you’re planting beds? Place a 

few slices in a small tinfoil pie container and your garden will 

be free of pests all season long. The chemicals in the cucumber 

react with the aluminium to give off a scent undetectable to 

humans but drive garden pests to distraction and make them flee 

the area. 

5 

Looking for a fast and easy way to remove cellulite 

before going out or to the pool? Try rubbing a slice or two 

of cucumber along the offending area for a few minutes. The 

phytochemicals in the cucumber cause the collagen in your skin to 

tighten, firming up the outer layer and reducing cellulite visibility. 

Works great on wrinkles too!!! 

6 

Want to avoid a hangover or terrible headache? Eat a few 

cucumber slices before going to bed and wake up refreshed 

and headache free. Cucumbers contain enough sugar, B vitamins 

and electrolytes to replenish essential nutrients the body lost, 

keeping everything in equilibrium, avoiding both a hangover and 

headache! 

7 

Looking to fight off that afternoon or evening snacking 

binge? Cucumbers have been used for centuries by 

European trappers, traders and explorers for quick meals to thwart 

off starvation. 

8 

You have made the shoot off, an important meeting or a job 

interview and you realise you don’t have the wherewithal 

or time to polish your shoes? Rub a freshly cut cucumber over 

your shoes, its chemicals will provide a quick and durable shine 

that not only looks great but also repels water. 

9 

Out of WD 40 and need to fix a squeaky hinge? Take a 

cucumber slice and rub it along the problematic hinge, and 

voila, the squeak is gone!. 

Stressed out and don’t have time for a massage, facial; 

10 or visit to a spa? Cut up an entire cucumber and place 

it in a pot of boiling water, the chemicals and nutrients from the 

cucumber will react with the boiling water and be released in a 

steam, creating a soothing, relaxing aroma that has been shown 

to reduce stress in new mothers and college students during final 

exams. 

Using a pen and made a mistake? Take the outside of the 

12 cucumber and slowly use it to erase the pen writing, also 

works great on crayons and markers that the kids have used to 

decorate the walls! 

Looking for a green way to clean your faucets, sinks or 

13 stainless steel? Take a slice of cucumber and rub it on 

the surface you want to clean. Not only will you remove years of 

tarnish and bring back the shine, but it won’t leave streaks and 

won’t harm your fingers or fingernails while you clean. 

Pass this along to everybody you know who is looking for better 

and safer ways to solve life’s everyday problems 

IN THE 1500’s 

The next time you are washing your hands and 

complain because the water temperature isn’t just 

how you like it, think about how things used to be. 

Here are some facts about the 1500s: 

Most people got married in June because they took their 

yearly bath in May, and still smelled pretty good by June. 

However, they were starting to smell, so brides carried a 

bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom 

today of carrying a bouquet when getting married. 

Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of 

the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the 

other sons and men, then the women and finally the children. 

Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could 

actually lose someone in it. Hence the saying, Don’t throw the 

baby out with the bath water. 

Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with 

no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get 

warm, so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived 

in the roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes 

the animals would slip and fall off the roof. Hence the saying . 

It’s raining cats and dogs. 

There was nothing to stop things from falling into the 

house.. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs 

and other droppings could mess up your nice clean bed. Hence, 

a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded 

some protection. That’s how canopy beds came into existence. 

The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other 

than dirt. Hence the saying, Dirt poor. The wealthy had slate 

floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they 

spread thresh (straw) on floor to help keep their footing. As the 

winter wore on, they added more thresh until, when you opened 

the door, it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was 

placed in the entrance way. Hence the saying a thresh hold

TEMPLETON MEMORIAL 

Wanaka Gun Club 

In a recent clay-target competition held 

at the Wanaka Gun Club, Rex Smart of 

Wanaka won the sought after Templeton 

Memorial Trophy. With over 25 shooters 

competing in the 4 x 25 “down the line” 

target shoot, it came down to three local 

members in the final shoot off. 

The Wanaka Gun Club boasts 23 

members with new young blood coming 

through with the likes of Cameron Meikle 

(14) who has done very well in national 

events. Cameron shot 99 targets out of 

100 on the day. The younger members are 

enthusiastically supported and coached by 

the experienced members

Rex Smart with the trophy 

Well the first 2 events of the 2010 Perazzi 

ISSF Series have been completed and were 

a huge success. 

On Saturday there were 15 entries for 

the 100 targets, with three new junior 

shooters taking part. 

With the weather forecast predicting 

rain, it was very heartening that it remained 

relatively dry with only a few passing 

showers. 

The early pace was set by Myles 

Browne-Cole and Brant Woodward with 

25’s, however it was Peter Goodwin who 

showed the everyone how it was done with 

a great 50 straight over the last 2 rounds 

to end on a 97 ex 100. In close pursuit 

were Myles Browne-Cole on 95 and Brant 

Woodward on 93. Also making the final 

was Owen Robinson on 90, Gavin Paton on 

89 and Natalie Rooney on 88. 

At the completion of the single 

barrel final, Peter Goodwin was 1st with 

97+22=119, Myles Browne-Cole 2nd with 

95+18=113 and Gavin Paton 3rd with 

89+22=111. 

On Sunday there were also 15 entries 

for the 100 targets, with four new people 

ISSF SERIES 

competing, which was very encouraging 

to see. 

With a foggy background for the 1st 

round, it was Gavin Paton with a 24 that set 

the first round pace. After the first round, 

the fog lifted to reveal a perfect sunny 

winter’s day leaving no excuses for anyone. 

At the conclusion of the 100 targets it was 

Brant Woodward leading on 95, followed 

by Owen (hangover) Robinson and Myles 

Browne-Cole on 93. Rounding out the top 

6 were Jack Norwood on 92, Gavin Paton 

on 91 and Natalie Rooney on 87. 

At the completion of the single barrel 

final, Brant Woodward was 1st with 

95+22=117, closely followed by Jack 

Norwood on 92+23=115 and in 3rd place 

Myles Browne-Cole with 93+20=113. 

Come along and have some fun with 

us and enjoy a great day’s shooting. 

Remember it is not too late for anyone 

interested in making the teams, to shoot 

the three required matches, with four 

events left to be shot and if you are not 

interested in making a team you can still 

come along and have some fun! 

See you at the next event

letters to the editor 

Dear Editor, 

Some thoughts on some of the NZCTA Championships, 

to be run over the next few months. I refer to the 

NZCTA ISSF Zone matches to be held in the Oct-Dec 

period. 

When I first started participating in these events I 

did not realise that each Zone match is a stand-alone 

NZCTA event on equal footing with the Provincial 

matches that are so popular with many of our shooting 

fraternity. Indeed the prizes are the same – sash to 

HOA, badge to 1st placed in each grade, certificates 

to 2nd and 3rd. And of course sweeps divvied up in 

the same way. 

For those who have not shot Trap before, but have 

shot Ball trap, a pretty good place to start might 

be to consider each station 1-5 as being the same as 

station 3 in Ball trap, and treat it accordingly. 

Perhaps your preference is Skeet. Well here is another 

variation on your favourite theme. Just shoot it gun 

down and with a slightly different programme around 

the stations. Yes the targets travel faster, so as 

many of you have told me over the years –“just see 

it and shoot it”. 

Then for those of you who enjoy Double Rise or 

Sporting pairs there is Double Trap. In comparison 

the targets are much closer together. Make sure you 

see the target come out of the hole because there is 

a variable delay of up to 1 second. 

For those who have not competed in these events 

before there is C grade. Hence you can play without 

having to compete with the purists who may have 

other goals on their mind. 

The Zone matches are held over a weekend with the 

Trap and Skeet being shot at the same time, and the 

Double Trap being shot on the Sunday afternoon. The 

four matches this year, I believe, are being held 

in Christchurch, Hutt Valley, Balfour and Waikato. 

Entry fees are cheap as chips, making these NZCTA 

events the best value for money on the calendar. 

Bring your friends to your closest event –the more 

the merrier and you never know you just might find 

out you are better than you dreamed. 

By the way, I see that both Christchurch and Hutt 

Valley are running warm up Ball trap events prior to 

their matches, so you might be able to win a free 

entry into the bargain. 

Cheers

OBITUARY 

EILEEN HEATHER 

WHITTLE 

4 November 1929 

– 5 June 2010 

After being forced 

to dismiss a bloke 

for dishonesty, the 

Whangarei and 

Otamatea Gun Club 

had to start again, 

virtually from 

scratch. The late Syd Thomas, a fine 

person and a very good shot, sacrificed 

his own pleasure to take the Secretary’s 

job and straighten out the books. Syd 

operated a garage close to the Whittle 

family and somehow got them involved 

in the Club. 

First Suzanne Whittle took on the job 

of Secretary for approximately 12 

months before handing the books over 

to her mother, Eileen. This was indeed 

the beginning of a new era for the 

Whangarei and Otamatea Gun Club, 

now called the Whangarei Combined. 

The absolute honesty and integrity 

of the Whittle family made a huge 

contribution to the ongoing success of 

the club. Eileen gave us over ten years 

of faithful service and was made a Life 

Member for her contribution. Many of 

the older shooters will fondly remember 

her smiling face and good sense of 

humour. If a shooter came to the office 

and got a bit stroppy and needed their 

pedigree reassessing she could handle 

that as well. Eileen’s late husband, Chas 

also made a contribution to the club 

and whenever we held an open shoot 

he would run the bar for us. 

The Whangarei Club now enjoys world 

class facilities and is fortunate to be 

debt free. Much of this success must 

be credited to three gifted ladies who 

have served the club extremely well 

for nearly forty years. Eileen Whittle; 

ten years plus, Aileen Hollister: also a 

Life Member; ten years plus, and now 

Toni Gee, nearing twenty years and still 

putting up with us. 

Our sincere sympathy to Eileen and 

Chas’s family

Scott Shield And Southland Fish & Game 

INTER COLLEGE SHOOT 

Nightcaps Club grounds 

The Nightcaps Clay Target Club once again hosted the Scott 

Shield/Southland Fish & Game Inter College shoot on the 18th July. 

Our grounds could not have got a more perfect winter’s day for 56 

school shooters from Timaru south eager to hit some targets. 

I would like to congratulate all shooters who shot possibles or 

shot their personal best scores. There were certainly some good 

scores showing up on the board with lots of red chalk, which is 

always good to see. I would like to thank all Nightcaps’ members 

and visiting members who took the time to set the targets, fill 

the traps and refereed and marked all day, which kept the shoot 

running smoothly and finished by 2.30pm. A big thank you must 

also go the Central Southland College school shooters’ parents 

for keeping us all fed. Without your support the school shooting 

wouldn’t be as successful as it is. 

Well done to Central Southland College No 1 team for winning 

the Scott Shield. They shot 69 out of a possible 75, with John 

McGlashan and Southland Boys’ High both coming in on 65 so 

had to go and shoot another 5 targets each with John McGlashan 

coming out the winner for 2nd place. Craighead No 1 won the 

Ladies team event. The High Gun saw three senior shooters and 

one junior shooter contesting the shoot off with Alexandra Brown 

being the Junior shooter who came out the overall winner. Well 

done Alexandra. 

Thank you to all the parents and coaches who travelled with the 

shooters for bringing them to Nightcaps. I hope you all enjoyed 

your day with us and hope to see you all back again the same time 

next year.

Secondary School Circuit 

Round 4 – 1st August, Hawke’s Bay Clay Target Club 

Hilary Wroe Lady High Gun Callum Beattie High Gun RSA Trophy Single Barrel Harry Smith 

Fifty seven shooters from seven schools 

attended the 4th round of the Hunting & 

Fishing Lower North Island College Circuit 

shoot at the Hawke’s Bay Clay Target Club. 

Again we were lucky to buck the weather 

forecast which was for rain. However, 

shooters did have to deal with subdued 

light which tended to make the targets 

harder to see and some blustery wind 

which bumped them around quite a bit 

at times. Although not as many possibles 

were posted as at the previous shoots, 

the average score for the day was higher 

(81.5/100), suggesting an encouraging 

continued general improvement despite 

the sometimes tricky conditions. 

Each individual and team is able to drop 

two scores from the seven available circuit 

shoots. With three shoots remaining, this 

means that the competition is still wide 

open! 

Results as follows: 

Ubix Furnware Trophy 20 Single Rise

Round 3 – June 27th, Patangata Clay Target Club 

The 3rd round of the Central/ Lower North Island Secondary 

School Circuit was hosted by Central Hawke’s Bay College at the 

Patangata Clay Target Club. Sixty-eight shooters attended from 

a range of Colleges from Wairarapa to Napier. The standard of 

shooting seems to be steadily improving from an average score 

of 73.9 in round 1, followed by 74.6 in round 2 and now 79.1 

at Patangata. Shooting conditions were OK, overcast with an 

intermittent breeze that rose a little towards the end of the day. 

A big thank you to Mike McCormick and his team for the efficient 

running of the shoot, to Central Hawke’s Bay College for hosting 

the shoot and to the Circuit sponsor Hunting & Fishing New

Round 2 – June 10th, Palmerston North Gun Club 

High Guns – Tim Groves, Alannah Withers. 

Single Barrel – Jim Aitkin 1st, Sam Tod 2nd, Sam Kirk 3rd 

Points Score - Tim Groves 3rd, Taylor Howatson 2nd, Sam Kirk 1st 

As with round 

1, the weather 

forecast was less 

than optimistic, but 

uncharacteristically 

wrong – sounds like 

a Tui ad! The conditions were overcast with a light westerly that 

flattened out the odd target, but really not too bad. To allow each 

event to be completed prior to the next beginning, the club chose 

to shoot each 20 targets 10 x 10 over the 2 traps in the same style 

that most club teams events are shot. This format seemed to catch 

a few of the shooters out with the 2nd 10 targets tending to be a 

challenge to some. 

Nevertheless seven possible Single Rise 20/20’s were posted 

by Tim Groves (Wairarapa), Alannah Withers (Karamu), John 

Small (Napier), Ryan Gordon (Gisborne), Jamie Peryer-Fursdon 

(Rathkeale), Taylor Howatson (Lindisfarne), Callum Beattie 

(Palmerston North). After the shoot-off – 1st John Small, 2nd Tim 

Groves, 3rd Alannah Withers. 

No possibles were shot in the Points Score but Taylor Howatson 

and Sam Kirk (both Lindisfarne) shot off for 1st and 2nd on 

59/60, Sam Kirk the eventual winner. Tim Groves and Jim Aitkin 

(Rathkeale) shot off for 3rd on 58/60, Tim ultimately prevailing. 

Jim Aitkin shot the only possible 20/20 in the single barrel. 

James Fulford, Jamie Peryer-Fursdon, Sam Tod (Lindisfarne) and 

Sam Kirk shot off for 2nd & 3rd on 19/20. The Lindisfarne shooters 

prevailing with Sam Tod 2nd and Sam Kirk 3rd. 

The team competition was based on the points score event. 

Unfortunately Lindisfarne was unable to field a full team due to 

internal exams which may have been lucky for the other teams 

based on the high scores produced by the Lindisfarne shooters 

that were able to attend! 


1 Palmerston North Boys’ High School 260, 2 Napier Boys’ High 

School 256, 3 Rathkeale College 254 

Again, there was no need for a shoot-off for High Gun as Tim 

Groves was alone on 96/100. Alannah Withers won Ladies High 

Gun with 87/100. The top 10 individual placings for the day were 

as follows: 

1. Tim Groves (Wai Col) 96, 2 Jamie Peryer-Fursdon (Rath.) 95, 2

Single Barrel – 3rd Brett Harpham, 2nd Callum Beattie, 1st James 

Abbiss 

The previous 

night’s storm had 

moved on to wreak 

some havoc in 

Gisborne, leaving 

Hastings with 

gusty winds and passing clouds providing challenging shooting 

conditions. A strong field of 60 shooters turned out to contest 

the inaugural round of the Hunting & Fishing New Zealand Lower 

North Island Secondary School Circuit. 

Seven possible 20/20’s were posted by Callum Beattie, Max 

Buchanan of Palmerston North Boys High School, Conway Mildon 

of Napier Boys High School, Todd McCormick, Sam Tod, Taylor 

Howatson of Lindisfarne College and Tim Groves from Wairarapa 

College. After the shoot-off – 1st Sam Tod, 2nd Conway Mildon, 

3rd Todd McCormick. 

The points score was shot purely as a teams event without 

individual awards, but it is noteworthy that Jack Wakeling from 

Wairarapa College shot the only possible 60/60 in very difficult 

shooting conditions, followed by Brett Harpham PNBHS on 58/60 

and then Callum Beattie PNBHS and James Fulford from Karamu 

College on 56/60. In the teams event the Palmerston North Boys’ 

High School team of Cameron Shailer, James Abbiss, Matt Lynch, 

Brett Harpham & Callum Beattie took the day with 273/ 300 

followed by Napier Boys’ High School on 254/300. 

With winds not looking like abating and light conditions 

constantly changing, the Single Barrel event was always going to 

be tough. There were no possibles, but despite the odd drooping 

bottom lip there were four 19/20’s posted by James Abbiss, Matt 

Lynch, Brett Harpham and Callum Beattie, all from Palmerston 

North Boys’ High School. The results after a shoot-off were – 1st 

James Abbiss, 2nd Callum Beattie, 3rd Brett Harpham. 

There was no need for a shoot-off for High Gun as Brett 

Harpham PNBHS was alone on 96/100. Alannah Withers won 

Ladies High Gun with 88/100. Individual rankings for the circuit at 

the completion of the first round are as follows: 

1. Brett Harpham (PNBHS) 96, 2 Callum Beattie (PNBHS) 95, 3

Thanks again to the Thames Club for another great job 

preparing the grounds and their facilities, as well as the volunteers 

who helped refereeing and scoring for the day. Richard Boenders, 

Mike Boakes, and Don McCarthy for their help target setting, trap 

loading and cleaning up at the end of the day. Stephanie Ginnelly 

for kindly helping Diane Boenders run the office and cashier the 

shoot. Nola, for another nice lunch and refreshments. Thank you 

to the competitors who travelled varying distances to participate. 

The weather was kind to us again with some threatening looking 

overcast but no rain and a workable amount of wind from behind 

to keep you focused on dropping targets. Great improvement by 

Cameron Ginnelly from his last Singles shoot. Remember this is all 

single barrel. 

The day was shot with three separate events starting with 100 

singles, 100 handicap and 50 pair of doubles.

July 17th 2010 

Another great job preparing the grounds and facilities by the 

Thames Club, and thanks again to the volunteers who helped 

referee and score for the day. We were short on helpers for the day 

and Don McCarthy (as usual) almost handled the day trap loading, 

setting, and clean up at the end of the day single handedly, with 

some much appreciated help from Dave Muggeridge and Les 

Clarke. Thanks again to Stephanie and Diane for running the office 

and cashiering the shoot and Nola for another nice lunch and 

refreshments. Thank you to the competitors who travelled varying 

distances to participate. Our luck returned with the weather being 

kind to us again, just a light shower in the second 25 targets for 

the first handicap squad. And what a squad it was. Bryce Schou 

ran the middle 50 from 20yards with great form to finish with a 

98. Great shooting. The feat is even more of an achievement when 

you consider the less than encouraging comments from the other 

squad members. Les Clarke, who is renowned for his unique pre 

shoot motivational talks to the schoolboy team he coaches, was 

doing his best trying to put Bryce off. Apparently the squad had 

chipped in $20 each with the top score taking the pot so there 

was some extra motivation. One of the squad members was even 

overheard after the last 25 targets commenting that he felt like 

someone might have had sex with him during the round. You had 

to be there, it was one of the most fun events I’ve had the pleasure 

of scoring, not to mention watching the level of shooting. 

The day was shot with three separate events starting with 100 

singles, 100 handicap and 50 pair of doubles. 

100 Singles A Grade Equal Tie 1st thru 3rd no shoot off Les 

Clarke, Dave Muggeridge & Cameron Muggeridge all on 95. B

Gore High 

Shooter 

Excels at Dunedin Inter- 

Collegiate 

Michael Sutherland proved his long battle (+ 220 targets ) 

in finishing second to big Jack Norwood in the NZ single rise 

inter-collegiate at Hamilton last September was no fluke when 

competing in the Dunedin inter-collegiate on July 4 against 83 

other competitors. 

Michael shot possibles in the Skeet (25/25), Single Rise (20/20) 

and Single Barrel (15/15) and scored 58/60 in the Points Score. He 

had to shoot off against Tom Willocks from John McGlashan in the 

skeet to win the H.O.A. then had to shoot off against 7 others in the 

Single Rise to once again win the H.O.A. title. He was the HOA in 

the Single Barrel discipline by virtue of shooting the only possible. 

There were no possibles in the Points Score event indicating that 

conditions were less than ideal for good scoring, William Rooney 

(Timaru Boys High) eventually winning the shoot off from 4 others 

who finished on 59/60. 

Michael finished the day as the High Gun and in the process 

didn’t drop a target, (98/98) and finished with a combined points 

total of 118/120, 6 points ahead of his nearest rival. He has two more 

local inter-collegiate shoots, Nightcaps and Alexandra to hone his 

skills prior to the South Island and Nationals at Christchurch in 

September

NORTH ISLAND 

Secondary 

School CHAMPS 

By P. Verran for Secondary School Committee 

The 2010 North Island Secondary School Clay Target 

Championships were held in Hamilton Saturday 3rd July. 

There were 195 shooters representing 31 schools. With a full 

programme of DTL and skeet events to be shot in the one day, 

shooting was scheduled to begin at 8.00am but because of very 

heavy fog and no wind to blow it away, the competition began 

about 9.00am with the fog still heavy but okay for shooting. The 

fog hung around till about lunch time when it lifted to lovely 

sunny but cool conditions with no wind. 

The DTL events were over by about 12.30pm and shoot offs for 

individual points and single barrel got underway while the skeet 

fields were being set up. 

There were 7 possibles in the points but after the first 5 targets 

only 3 remained, Liam Buchanan, Max Andrews and Scott Verran. 

Another 15 targets were required to find an overall winner. In the 

single barrel there were 21 possibles needing 20 targets to get a 

result. The single rise shoot off was done after the conclusion of 

the skeet event and the 25 on a possible of 20 needed 105 targets 

to get a winner. The Fish and Game sponsored Trophy event was 

run in conjunction with this. 

There were 53 entries in the skeet with only 2 competitors on 

25, Devon da Silva and Jamie Peryer-Fursden, this shoot off was 

won by Jamie. 

Thanks must go to Dean and his team for who kept the event 

running smoothly throughout the day. The office staff for keeping 

the score board up to date for all to see the results as they were 

completed. Special thanks to Fish and Game for the generous 

sponsorship of the trophy event and to Kilwell who supplied the 

ammunition for the teams and single barrel event. Rudi Hoetjes 

from NZ Fish and Game presented the winners with their trophies 

and prizes, assisted by Keith Livingstone from NZCTA.
