SHOOTREPORTAt the recent NZCTA council meetingdiscussion was held on the future of ISSFshooting and the NZCTA`s role within thisdiscipline.The answers that came out of thatdiscussion were that NZCTA`s role in thisarea is to introduce shooters and makeavailable through their member clubsthe opportunity for shooters to try thisdiscipline, lay down a format and pathwayfor shooters to follow through all levelsof competition all the way up to OlympicGames. NZCTA`s main focus to be at thebeginning level, through to NZCTA Zoneevents, Island and Nationals.The upper level of events to bemanaged by NZ Shooting Federation inconjunction with NZCTA.To that end the following will beoffered and implemented over the comingmonths.New Introduction typeevents; 50 Target ClubLevel Events.These to be promoted and formulatedbetween clubs with facilities andinterested ISSF shooters who wish to assistclubs conduct them.The events to be of 50 target size andcan be run over Ball Trap or Trench orboth, also ISSF skeet if enough interestedshooters.Cost to be approx $20-00 per event andinclude some small type of trophy eventexact formula to be left to the peoplerunning the events. It is envisaged thatfurther practice after these events may beavailable for further shooting if clubs andshooters agree to provide this.The purpose of these events is purelyto offer the opportunity for shooters tohave an opportunity to try this style ofshooting discipline in a fun, cost effective,introductory type environment.It is the intention for clubs or areas torun approx. four or five of these type ofevents between June and Septemberleading up to the Zone competitions. Tothat end the NZCTA will offer to thosegroups running these events two freeentries to the local Zone shoot event.One for a junior shooter (under 21) andone for a senior shooter. (to be used asaggregate style prizes) programmes needto be approved by NZCTA to be eligible forthese prizes.Groups wishing to run these eventsneed to advise their programme and datesto Gavin Searle so they can be publishedon the NZCTA website for shooters’information.Any club or group wanting furtherinformation please contact Gavin on(03) 383 2074 or 0274 547 153 or email;searlefamily@xtra.co.nzNZCTA Zone shoot format;From this year the only requirement onclubs conducting these zone events willbe to run these events over two days withno requirement to provide practice on theFriday before.(Should the club wish to run practiceon the Friday the NZCTA will advertise thiswith their programme)Where a club does not provide practicethe day before it would be desirable (butnot mandatory) that they open a Ball Trapif available as a 5 target practice trap upuntil the commencement of the first roundof competition.Also any conducting club hosting anISSF Zone shoot will be entitled to runother disciplines of clay target shooting atthe same times should they so desire andthe method of conducting these will beleft to local club management to arrange.NZCTA selectedindividuals to World CupEvents;Later this year (August) the NZCTA willrelease details of a selection process andcompetition venue, possibly two or threenominated World Cup events where wewill select up to three shooters on a firstpast the post style selection process overNZ major tournaments, to attend andcompete at World Cup events.Funding for these will most likely be selffunded and will be tagged to have met aminimum qualifying score at a minimumof one current season NZ event.(score tobe set)Full details will be posted on NZCTAwebsite and distributed to ISSF shootersas soon as details are finalised.Along with the above internal NZCTAevents we are awaiting announcementon selection of some of our NZ shootersas competitors to the CommonwealthGames later this year. We look forwardto this announcement which by the timeyou all read this should be known. Wewill follow with interest their form andresults through to these events. It goeswithout saying our congratulations ontheir selection and best wishes to them allin the upcoming competitions.Gavin Searle.(ISSF shooting)ATA SHOOTAT THAMESApril 17th 2010We enjoyed another fun day of shootingat the Thames club. Although threateningto rain a few times, we got by with justovercast for the day which at least gaveus a mostly consistent light and just alight breeze at times. Thanks again to theThames Clay Target club for providingsuch nice facilities and all the help fromthe members, some of whom don’t evenshoot.Thanks to everyone who helped outon the day, with a special thanks to DonMcCarthy, Richard and Diane Boenders,Martin van de Wetering and Mike Boakesas well as the volunteer referees andscorers. Bryce Shou for helping Lynn sortthe triggers out on her gun in time to showhim how to do it in the Handicap. As usualNola did a superb lunch and morningand afternoon tea. There’s more than apassing suspicion that the opportunity towork on technique with 100 singles and100 doubles targets helped Martin postthe winning score the following day atthe prestigious Ernie Thornton Memorialshoot, congratulations.Singles: A Grade 1st Rob Anderson 96,2nd Martin van de Wetering 96 (equal tiefor 1st), 3rd Jim Forster 93.
