Planning is well advanced for the first Skeet Nationals in
November.
Tne series will be conducted at Melbourne Gun Club from
Wednesday November 16, to Saturday November 19.
Two fifty target events will be shot on each of the first two
days, with the Commonwealth Skeet Championship of 100
targets on Friday November 18, and the National title of 100
targets on Saturday November 19. All events will be graded
A.A., A., B., C., with junior, lady and veteran prizes.
The State Shoulder to Shoulder teams match for teams of
five shooters will be conducted in conjunotion with the second
event on Thursday November 17, and all Australian teams of
15 open, 5 ladies and 5 juniors, will be chosen on the complete
program of 400 targets.
The highest overall scorer over the 400 will be the Cham-
pion of Champions, and a team of 5 shooters will be selected
over the 400 targets to compete in the USA. in 1984.
In addition a two man teams match for the Adrian Cousens
trophy for nominated pairs will be conducted over the 400
targets. Black targets will be used throughout the Tourna-
ment and seven layouts win be in operation.
It is hoped to wind up the Skeet Nationals with a barbeque at
the Club on the Saturday night md to have a Victorian
Government V.I.P. visit during the series.
From the interest being shown by skeet shooters in their
very own Nationals, it is clear that the series will be well
supported. Many shooters have already donated the cost of
medals, with many more expected to do so. Winchester
Australia have donated a Beretta Skeet gun as the prize for
the Champion of Champions as an indication of their support
for the Skeet Nationals.
Enjoy your shooting, IAN C. HILL
Staff Writer
Jim Ellis, A.C.T., has been added to the list of recipients of
awards under the National Athlete Award Scheme.
Ellis joins Terry Rumbel, Greg Long, Ian Hale, and Alex
Crikis on the list of clay target shooters to receive awards for
1983.
Ellis was surprisingly excluded from the original list,
because of his performance at the 1982 World Charn-
pionships, where he finished 23rd in Olympic Trap.
Following representations to the Federal Government on
his behalf, he was granted a training award. 0

NSW shooters who competed in New Zealand compli-
ments of Tooth LA.
The Waikato Gun Club, North Island, approx 10 kms, from
Hamilton was this year the venue for the New Zealand
national titles held in March.
The New South Wales Gun Club, in association with Tooths
Brewery Ltd, fielded a six man squad to compete against all
comers in D.T.L. and skeet events. This squad of six shooters,
who were tbe winners of the Tooth L.A. New Zealand
eliminations for 1982, assembled at Sydney international
airport, with their necessary equipment. Qantas being our
carrier, proved to ,be most efficient in looking after all the
necessary arrangements and paperwork, required to take
twelve guns and ammo out of Sydney.
There were a few problems with the ammo, as only a certain
amount is allowed on any one flight, however, over the next
few days, it did all evefltually arrive at our destination.
Thanks to the careful planning by Sergio Zuffo and his
excellent command of the English language.
Arriving at Auckland Airport, our mini bus awaited us,
which was then, most capably driven for the next ten days by
Sergio. It proved its stamina over this period, carrying all our
gear and ammo, which as time went by, seemed to shrink in
size. We were booked into the Comercial Hotel in Hamilton,
and with everything carefully stowed away we were then free
to explore and sample the culinary delights of Hamilton.
Early to bed, as we wanted to get in some serious practice
the following day, Friday. An early breakfast, aU our gear
baded on our mini bus, and to head off in the opposite
direation. We were soon well and truly lost, the natives were
friendly and two hours later we were there. It seemed they
had moved the gun club, but forgot to teLl the locals.
The Waikato Gun Club with its sixteen lay-outs, large bar
and entertainment centre, was more than adequate to accoma-
0 Ready to shoot trap the Australian Team with Hank
Theunissen (centre).
date the five hundred or so, shooters who contested the
nationals. Our team helped to keep the true image, by keeping
the bar takings up, once the shooting was over.
Our first day was spent in practising D.T.L. events, C/D
only. Some of the team managed to keep their wallets well
stocked. We were disappointed that we were unable to practice
skeet as the following day Saturday, saw the start of the
national C/Ship. Overall the organisation for the ten days
shooting was excellent. The shoot marshalls on their scooters
were everywhere. The whole operation was very smooth. If we
had a query, there was always someone with the time and the
patience to discuss any problems. The grounds were spotless,
very few empties on the grounds, the reloading fraternity saw
to that. We were able to sell our once fired cases for up to
fifteen cents each. Australia is still the lucky country.
Our most successful entrant was Platon Zappantis, who
carried back several medals and trophies to decorate his den.
Platon was also in great demand at the farewell dinner dance
at the gun club, when he proved that he could sing a treat, as
well as shoot.
Hank Theunissen made the Australian trap team, and shot
very well. The rest of us managed to get into a few shoot offs.
Generally the opportunity to compete overseas was rewarding
experience, it was great to watch the top boys in action. Leo
Harrison from the USA with only two spare cartridges on his
belt, twenty seven shell for all events, it must be nice to h that
confident, and of course our own Bill Iles who shot so well.
We only had one days rain. The food and drink was excellent.
Side show alley, with its array of guns and acessories made us
all want to sell our guns over there. The shooting sports are
expensive in New Zedand.
Finally, we would like to express our thanks, to,Tooth LA.
for their sponsorship, and hope that the future winners of
this event, will have as much fun as we did in the land of the
long white cloud . . . 0

Trophy display at QCTA Sfate Trap Carnival.
This carnival was conducted over the May Day weekend,
April 30, May I & 2, at the Sunshine Coast Gun Club. The
weather certainly did not live up to the clubs name, as it
rained for the three days.
The grounds looked a real picture prior to the rain, which
was a result of many hours of work done by the committee,
however after the shooters plus families and vehicles had been
on the grounds during the carnival, the result was a
quagmire leaving, many more hours for the committee
repairing the damage. My congratulations to these members,
the carnival was worth it. I must make a special mention of
Kev Ryan, a local member known as "green thumb" who was
out spreading grass dippings before leaving the grounds on
Monday night.
Apart from the discomfort of shooting in the rain -
walking in mud (in places up to ones ankles) - some very
good scores were recorded. Including the longest break in
Queensland being reset by Doug Smith who shot 422
straight. The former record was held by Pud Burgess from
NSW at 408 shot at St George Gun Club some time back.
The ladies in the canteen were also kept very busy all
weekend, and the food was greatly appreciated, congratula-
tions girls - a job well done.
The QCTA greatly appreciated the sponsorship received
from the following companies: Winchester Aust, M.I.M.
Holdings Ltd, Nioa Arms, Blue Dot Targets, Stevens & Sons
Sports, Puller Firearms, Olympic Targets, Castlemaine Wr-
kins, Ken Cross.
Although down in numbers due to the weather, we still had
visitors from: Tasmania, Victoria, NSW, as well as shooters
from our own state clubs. Amongst our visitors was Laurie
Connors, National President and his wife Agnes, the Q.C.T.A.
were pleased to have these visitors to our state carnival, and
trust they will come again next year. The president of the
Sunshine Coast branch of the Sportsmens Association, Mr
Don McNiven was in attendance for the presentation of
trophies on the first day, however due to the failing light

caused by the weather, the shoot off had to be finalised the
following morning. Mr McNiven attended on the Sunday
morning for this.
One hundred and forty-three shooters nominated on the
first day, and the state D.B. Championship was the first event,
following a shoot off, the eventual winner was Rob Uebergang
of Tamworth N.S.W. who shot 1941194. Rob won the O.W.
Smith Perpetual Trophy, the Winchester Perpetual Cup and
trophy, the Q.C.T.A. silver badge. Greg Woodbine af Kallan-

Bryan from KalIangur 62/63. C Grade M. Andronis from
Ipswich 49/50. Winner of the Junior Division Murray Gough
from Kallangur 48150; winner of ladies Bev Grice Sunshine
Coast 48150.
* Bob Dupuy from Winchester presenting DB trophy to Rob
Vebergang.
The second event was the state double rise championship,
the winner being Greg Woodbine from Kallangur with a score
of 48/50. AA Grade Greg Stevens from Ipswich 47/50. A Grade
D. Stevens from Ipswich 53/60. B Grade Quinto Porfiri from
Sunshine Coast 41/50. C Grade Desley Ryan from Callide-
Dawson 39/50. Desley also won the ladies division while Paul
Rehbein of Bundaberg won the Juniors.
The Bar-B-Q tea planned for the Saturday night was not
real successfuI due to most of the shooters heading back to
their Motels etc to dry off, however the ones that did stay,
enjoyed the meal and the fellowship.
Sunday morning and the weather if anything was worse,
the shooters still seemed undeterred, and the same number of
shooters attended. The first event was the State Single Barrel
Championship, the overall winner was Doug Smith from
Brisbane with a score of 63/65 with Richard Dean of Roma
winning AA Grade with a score of 62-65. Hugh Cameron from
Roma won the A Grade his score 48150, B Grade was won by B.
Goodrich of Callide-Dawson his score 48/50 and C Grade by
another Callide shooter Bevan Ryan 46/50.
The Winchester event followed with nineteen possibles
being shot. The conditions once again worsened so that the
shoot off was postponed to the following morning.
The Q.C.T.A. Annual General Meeting was held following
the meal provided at the club, resulting in 23 delegates

Since 1977 it has been debated for and against by clay target
shooters that a venue of sufficient size, centrally situated,'
easy of access, used by a caretaker club but owned by the
Australian Clay Target Association should be established on
which to conduct our National competitions each year.
To this end, flowing from a motion at the 1979 A.G.M., a
referendum of all members (clubs) of the Association was held
resulting in a vote of 104 for, and 50 against, which when
analysed further from the figures supplied by these members
showed that 1592 registered shooters voted for, and 854
against.
The Executive at the time naturally took this as a mandate
to proceed with the project and the search for a suitable
location began, along guidelines roughly as follows:
1. A.C.T.A. should have security of tenure either freehold or
a long term lease, and the locality be such that we could
eventually establish our administrative headquarters
there.
2. There should be sufficient area for a minimum of 30 DTL
fields, 10 skeet layouts, and provision for all other
facilities required.
3. A viable club close to a known shooter population should
use part of the facility on a caretaker basis.
4. The shooting aspect should be between East and South,
with a suitable background.
5. It should be easily accessible by air from all States.
6. All services should be available with ample accommodation
in the vicinity.
7. Tourist potential, so that shooters and families would
return each year.
Subsequently over the last 3 years 15 sites were examined
by Management, or others at their request, but to date no
location could be found that would fulfill these requirements
to a degree that your Executive were prepared to embark on a
project of such magnitude and expense, although many hours
of debate and discussion went into the matter, and much
information, with many offers of assistance, being received
from various Shires, Councils and their officers, all of whom
could see the henefit to their particular area.
Rmds have been allocated for a feasibility study into any
location tha,t met the criteria for several years, but if a suitable
site does exist it has not come to notice.
Consequently your Executive has decided that the project
will be postponed indefinitely, for several reasons, some of
which are outlined below.
It is felt that the State Associations who may have aspira-
tions to holding the Nationals on the roster system are
holding back awaiting the outcome, and suitable clubs are not
being encouraged or helped to expand to a suitable standard.
Also it is not now apparent, because of the length of time
between now and when the decision was made (4 years), as to
how many of our clubs now support the concept, but would
rather place their resources and energy into a similar project
in their own State, so long as the roster system applies.
Therefore, the Executive believe the alternatives were to
proceed with the frustrating search for a location suitable to
the majority of shooters, which could take several more years,
or retain the roster system on an East West, North South basis
as at present laid down, hoping that the State Associations
would take up the slack, with A.C.T.A. assistance where
necessary. However, you must be aware that we now have

three sets of Nationals titles each year, catering for four
different types of clay target competitors. At present only
DTL and Skeet can be conducted on a State by State basis at
National level and it behoves all of us who wish to see the ISU
disciplines prosper to get behind those promoting the establishment
of suitable facilities in each State, remembering that
although the DTL clubs are the mainstay of the sport we have
now progressed to an extent where many of the benefits
received by these clubs, such as coaching etc., are directly
related to assistance received from Government, who recognise
ISU as the world standard.
The Executive appreciate that the actions they have taken as
mentioned above a 1 not please everyone connected with the
sport but believe they are very responsible decisions, and in
the interests of the majority. However, my comments or
criticism constructively made would be appreciated and given
every consideration.
As a matter of interest we have decided to purchase the
property now rented by us at a very favourable price while the
market is in a depressed state, using invested funds which are
not now producing the revenue they used to; a project which
has been spoken of fx many years and can be used as
colateral towards any other promotion in the future, if
required. 0

PART 1.
Dear IAN,
In my travels over the last four years I should have put pen
to paper on various subjects but not being a literary giant
like the "PUNJAB" I thought I had better not. I: would also
have to rely on your staff to correct the spelling. Now I have
thrown caution to the wind so here we go for a short burst.
I would like to say a few words on the subject of correct trap
location in the trap house,
A great number of clubs that I visited have the trap situated
in the centre of the house which is not in the proper place. The
target does not leave the throwing plate directly in front of the
trap. The target leaves the plate between 225 mm to 300 mm
to the right of the trap body according to the type of trap.
Having the trap in the centre causes the target to break on the
side of the trap house when a full right hander is thrown and
shooting from lane five the target looks as though it comes
out of the ground at the side of the trap house.
You probably have some specifications that could be added
to this to explain the situation more in detail.
Our travels have come to a halt for a space of time, I have
put the caravan in moth balls and the old Valiant has been
given light duties. I would like to say G'DAY to all of the many
friends I've made on our trip and thank them all for their
hospitality, if it is at all possible I will be back again.
To Rodger "PUNJAB" Darwon keep up the good work, the
old photo (February issue) of the 1934 shooters at Nobel shoot
ground brought back some fond memories.
Kind regards,
Ted Patterson

Staff Writer
The Executive Committee met in Adelaide after the Trap
Nationals, where a long agenda was worked through. Major.
items of interest were as follows:
1. Elections
National President Laurie Connors and Vice President Roy
Holtfreter were re-elected unopposed for 1983. Joining these
two on the Management Committee are Richard Dean Queens-
land, and Leighton Martin South Australia.
The International Sub-Committee now consists of R. F.
Buchan Victoria, Chairman, J. K. Scott New South Wales, Jim
Kelly Queensland, and National Training Squad Manager1
Coach, Peter Quire, with Richard Dean as the Management
Committee representative on the International Sub-
Committee.
Leighton Martin is now the Assooiation's Legislation
officer.
2. Skeet Nationals
The Executive Committee decided that the Skeet Nationals
should be organised by an organising committee appointed by
the V.C.T.A.
This committee is to draw up the format, and budget and
report back to the Executive Committee.
3. ,1984 Trap Nationals
The 1984 Trap Nationals will be conducted at Wagga Gun
Club from Saturday March 31. to Thursday April 5. The
program is as follows:
Saturday March 31 - Grand Australian Handicap
Sunday April 1 - Double Barrel Championship
Monday April 2 - Single Barrel Championship
Tuesday April 3 - A.N.Z. Points Championship
Wednesday April 4 - Double Rise Championship
Thursday April 5 - Champion of Champions
4. Purchase of Premises
The Executive Committee resolved unanimously to purch-
ase the premises currenly occupied as the National Office at 8
Main Street, Blackburn.
The site is zoned local business and lends itself to develop-
ment in the future. A very good deal has been negotiated with
the owner of the property. At the time of writing this report
settlement is about to take place.
Pi. National Shooting Ground
A statement from the Executive Committee appears else-
where in this issue of C.T.S.N. regarding the decision to
shelve indefinitely progress towards the establishment of a
National Shooting Ground.

Dear Sir:
I wish to reply to one very childish writer who has little to
offer but unnecessary innuendos and aspersions.
Firstly, Mr Lewis or Master Lewis you have only to travel to
the many Gun Clubs Like 1 do to find out that most of what
your buddy has written about is drivel, according to the
majority I have spoken to. Gun safety is of paramount
importance to me being a referee and coach, so I do know what
I am writing about, do you participate in either?
Then you go on to BESMIRCH any possible value of my
Army career. Yes, Mr Lewis I spent 5 years in the 8113
Mounted rifles and was a gunnery instructor during that
period so once again you are going off half cocked.
My reference to the Firearm Controi Legislation was that
despite the many who considered it then, and those who still
do as being a step backwards to use a Darwon phrase the
whole matter is less a worry than expected and the "Boogy
Men" with their awesome power have become gentle mer, a
never doubted they were fror.1 the outset.
1 fully agree with Mr King of the June edition berng an
active member of our organisation as is Mr King I am relieved
that some of the weight has been removed from the shoulders
of those willing.
The etiquette label also annoyed me. Who is Mr Darwon to
say he is the only one who carries his firearm in such a
manner of safety that he is faultless. We could not see if there
were cartridges in the breech or not, so ease up Roger you're
not perfect.
Finally I would like to deal with one article Roger Darwon
contributed and the only one that carries any reasonable
reading matter I have read from him in many months, "Macho
Men Move Over". Referring to Miss Maree Rooke, yes Roger
you are possibly on the right track for once dealing with an
article of interest to the vast majority. Maree is Indeed a
brilliant skeet shooter and deserves to be up thsre on top, but
while on the subject of our lady shooters and while you are in
that progressive vein don't forget Jenny Young Common-
wealth Trench Ladies Champion, Jenny Ey another great
along with Deserie Huddleston, Karen Williams, Carol
Ogden and Christine Wakefield to mention but a few. Sa, as in
my first letter I prefer as do the many I have spoken to, that
letters within our Journal are kept within the bounds of trap
shooting and for god sake spare the rambling, of which
means little to anyone.
Again yours in shooting,
Jeff Boote

GUlU W0LI)ING POSITION ONE
This target is frequently missed due to the shooter varying
his gun hold position prior to calling. This practice will upset
his timing, resulting in a desperate stab or a long slow tracking
of the target. A good position of gun hold is around 45', then
come smoothly and quickly on to the target. Breaking it over
the target crossing point.
It was only recently that a keen skeeter said to me -
"George, in every article you write on shooting, you never fail
to stress how important it is to have the gun properly fitting
the shooter. Is this advice really so important and why is it
so?"
Well to cut a long story short, it was 1% hours later after
two rounds of skeet instruction during which time I related to
him my personal experiences with gun fitting. At this stage
my friend was well able to see my point. The story follows-
When I first came into clay target shooting some 35 years
ago, I soon became very much aware of the importance of
SWEDISH 655x55
MAUSER ACTION
having a gun that would point more consistantly on targets
than dads old double barrel gun that I used to hunt rabbits
and ducks with etc. It was at &is early stage of my clay target
shooting carrer when I became aware of the need to have a
gun to suit me in such a way that when I placed the butt on my
with George Biggs shoulder, the muzzle would be pointing near to where my

shooting eye was look in^. ie, at the target. In the vears iust
after W&I; War 11 we had very little cgoice of sho&uns"and
apart from the old Webley & Scott and Greener double barrels,
very little else was available. They were inexpensive to buy,
something like two pounds, ten shillings each. They proved
an ideal rabbit and snake gun for the farmer.
I finally bought myself a Browning Auto standard model,
plain barrel without rib, bored half choke. However, I was far
from happy with the standard field stock and its long pistol
grip which felt Like a cricket bat handle. I went to work on it,
fitting a Monte Carlo comb plus a complete new pistol grip,
which was needed in order to have complete control of the
gun. I was then able to point the muzzle exactly where I was
looking. It made shooting better scores easier.
I continued to use the Browning Auto with a great amount
of success for several years, finally switching to the over and
under as they became available, around 1948.
Clay target shooting was beginning to recover and expand.
It became obvious that a change in styles
"THE GUN AND EYE ALIGN1MENTW
Gun at top of drawing is a skeet gun with too much drop at
the heel of the stock. Because of this the shooter's eye will be
looking into the back of the action instead of down along the
barrel rib. This position is not uncommon wifh many skeet
guns, it will cause low shooting. Compare the eye position on
the lower gun, note how the eye position is up above the rib
line where it should be, enabling the shot to be fired with
target always visible over the front bead. As an example both
my trap gun and skeet guns have the very same measure-
ments with one exception - length of pull is '/4 inch shorter on
the skeet gun, because I use an off shoulder gun position at
skeet.

TROUBLE SHOOTING AT SKEET from p. 14
Clay target shooting was beginning to recover and expand.
New firearms manufacturing firms were coming into produc-
tion. It became obvious that a change in styles of guns was
necessary in order to shoot better scores at skeet and trap.
And so we began to see a new style of gun, like the over and
under etc. Stocks were modified and barrels were bored
differently. Raised and ventilated ribs were added to give us a
new style shooting iron for clay target shooters. Today
changes are still going on in an effort to build the right gun
for "Mr Average." Unfortunately I don't have the space in this
article to go more deeply into the subject, but suffice to say
that "Mr Average" shooter should have his gun checked for
personal fit so that he cannot blame the gun when he misses a
target.
Unfortunately, a large number of our skeet shooters still
don't realise that poor gun fitting and gull mounting is the
reason why the average shooter is not a more consistent top
scorer.
Of course there are many other reasons why we have a bad
day and they are related to the basics of skeet shooting. So it
becomes necessary to analyse ourselves from the feet, up to
mounting the gun, and firing at the target. Feet and stance
position is first on our check list after we know the gun fits us
as it should.
HOW TO SHOOT PROBLEM TARGETS
Station one high is sometimes a problem. It is caused by
changing the angle of gun hold to an angle that is either
further out or closer in than has been the usual pointing
position. This action will immediately upset timing, resulting
in a desperate stab or a long slow tracking of the target.
Stations two high and six Iow also bother a lot of shooters.
At both these stations, body control is vital. A smooth easy
gun movement and follow through begins with a good stance
position. Any stance we adopt that causes unnecessary strain
is not going to help us because it will cause erratic movement
and fatigue.
Station two high is a frequently missed target due mainly to
the shooter rushing the target, stopping his gun swing and
follow through. Proper routine at two high is like all other
stations onIy more so, is., face the centre of the field over
station eight where the target is usually broken, now without
moving the feet position, turn your body back towards the
trap house to a spot about 10-15 feet out from the trap
opening. Hold the gun muzzle at this point on line of target
travel, concentrate for a second to get a quick mental picture
in mind about what you have to do when the target appears.
With this clear mental picture in mind call for the target look
hard at it, swing the gun muzzle through with it see the lead,
fire and follow through. Lead should be about 18 inches of
"daylight."
Station six low is more or less the opposite to high two. The
difference being that it leaves the trap opening at a lower
level. However, it still has to be handled in much the same
manner. Keep in mind that low six is climbing more than
high two, this means keeping your gun muzzle up on the
target right from the start of your swing. This is why we
must always have the gun hold position prior to calling, right
on line of target travel. This target is frequently missed by '
shooting low and behind. It is caused by failure to keep gun
muzzle up on the rising target. I prefer a left hand position on
the forend to be a little further out when shooting low six. Not
only does this give me a better muzzle pulling aid, but it also
gives more accuracy of point on the fast moving target going
from right to left.
Station two high can be handled in a similar way, except
that the left hand is brought a little closer to the guns metal
action, something like a couple of inches from the action. The
shorter hold will tend to help control accurmy and give more
"gun push" at the hst flying high two target.
FOOT POSITION
Position of the skeet shooters feet is important and it will
vary from station to station. It is essential that we adopt a
balanced and relaxed stance, but still be alert - ready to
swing smoothly and quickly after the target when we call
"pull." r
The good skeet shooter will pay special attention to his
feet-placing. Too close together will cause him to be off
balance when he begins to swing with the target, he will in
fact, tend to move his body only from the hips causing a
rolling action resulting in a low shot. Body movement should
be from the &kles up. On the other hand too wide a stance
will cause a good deal of strain and tension, as well as
restriction of movement.

Dear Mr N,
May I t& your time, to reply to J. King's letter June
Shooting News page 19. I find it very hard to believe that J.
King is indeed a trap referee-examiner. His level of
apprehension, going on his statement and criticism of our
"Shooting Shorts" correspondent, leaves one hell-of-a-lot to be
desired.
First, may I suggest that 3. King reads the paragraph
heading under A Giant Step Backwards, again. The author
had outlined the error in the rule, which as J. King was good
enough to remind us, was or has been changed back long
after our writer's comment, and now gives that level of control
to the referee. So in his comment J. King is in agreement with
your "Shooting-Shorts"writer; while in disagreement with
him! I mean let's be fair pal, you can't run with the fox and bay
with the hounds, which is it to be.
The further J. King tries to compound his "expertise" on
refereeing the further he gets into his own quick-sand. Then
he has the gall to ask our author to become an undercover
"agent" for the States Assn, while he (J. King) can get on with
the pressure of releasing targets for shooters . . . at the same
time watching for small "chips."
J. King's final comment puts the mud right in his own eye
and I'm sure any educated, normal person would find his
manner, attitude and language, other than becoming of a
member of our sport. By printing letters like J. Kings,
C.T.S.News is doing a good service, at least we are locating
gaps in the system before they become "dam busters."
I suppose herding all those bulls every day could become
quite a brain drain, or account for manners befitting any
"ugly Australian."
Keep up the good work C.T.S. '~ews. I'm sure your readership
is growing in leaps and bounds.
Yours faithfully. (can't wait for July issue).

Keith Sim (President of Griffith) showing Mason Ernie
Myott some of the finer points of "clay busting".
Seventy members of the Freemasons Lodge Ibis and Yenda
Rotary gathered at the Griffith Clay 'Target Club grounds for
an enthusiastically contested teams shoot and barbecue on a
Monday evening during March.
After several rounds of coaching in gun handling and
safety from members of the Griffith Clay Target Club, the
teams were ready for serious competition.
Yenda Rotary came in with a total of 37, four ahead of
Lodge.Ibis with 33. The trophy was presented by Lodge Ibis
members at the next Yends Rotary meeting.
The barbecue and refreshments were donated by various
members of Yenda Rotary and Lodge Ibis, while Griffith Clay
Target Club donated the clays, use of several guns and of the
facilities.
In appreciation of a fine evening's enjoyment, all present
dug deeply into thei? pockets and at last count over $200 had
been collected to aid victims of the Bushfires which had
ravaged the country-side in South AustraEa and Victoria.
A return bout is being planned with Lodge Wis bent on
winning back their 'trophy.

Mark Bravin shows how.
Mark Bravin, an up and coming junior-from the Melbourne
Gun Club has found that by mounting hs gun with the
barrel pointing high, it enables him to position the butt
comfortably inside the point of his shoulder and under his
face. Mark worked out this method for himself. All small
people have difficulty mounting the gun inside the point of
the shoulder, because of the narrowness of their shoulders.
Marks intelligent approach to overcoming his problem is to be
commended. Good shooting Mark.

Received an invitation to attend the Queensland State Trap
Carnival, at the Sunshine Coast Gun Club, Caloundra. With
Victoria facing up to winter, I thought "great", there is
nothing better than Joh Bjelke country this time of the year.
How mistaken one could be. Queensland was facing an
unusual wet season, with rain falling for thirteen days and
nights straight. Brisbane received ten inches of rain in one
day, the rainfall my home town Mildura in Victoria receives in
one year. It rained for the three days the carnival was
conducted, rtnd floods prevented many shooters from attend-
ing. There is no doubt that had it not been for the rain, a
record attendance would have been recorded at their State
shoot. Regardless of the weather conditions, one hundred and
fifty shooters braved the elements and entered the State titles.
The Sunshine Coast Gun Club was specially prepared for the
conduct of these titles and was a credit to the Committee and
members of the club. The ladies who so cheerfully attended to
the catering needs of shooters, and others in attendance every
day under such trying conditions, deserve the highest praise.
Meals were available all day including a sausage? bacon and
egg breakfast for the early birds.
4 Rob Uebergang winner of Queensland DB Champ with
Winchester representative Bob Dupuy.
The first title up for contention was the Queensland Double
Barrel ~hampionshi~ and it went to a NSW shooter from
Tamworth, Rob Uebergang 194/194. Greg Woodbine from
Kallangur shot 48150 to win the State Double Rise title. Doug
Smith from Brisbane, and Queensland's master with the shot
gun, won the State Single Barrel Championship 63/65, Doug
also won the Winchester event shooting 262/262. John Porter
from Brisbane had to use all his skill to win the State Point
Score Championships. John shot 150/150 with Doug Smith
being his opponent finishing on 1481150. Doug's form in wet
conditions was a pleasure to see, and he finished the shoot
with the honor of being 1983 Queensland Champion, collecting
the G. R. & M. Porter Perpetual Cup. Doug's form also
gave him the Overall High Gun with 3821378. Another honor
that went to Doug at this shoot was, I believe the Queensland
long break record. Doug shot 417 straight to give him this
recognition. The charming little lass, from Gemfields, Vicki
Deeley, shot 3351375 to take top honors as the best lady
shooter at the Carnival. Paul Rehbein, Bundaberg was top
junior with 3031375. Even though ~t rained for the three days
of the carnival, shooters accepted It with a smile, realising the
long drought.that had prevailed over most of Queensland and
other States of Australia, had now broken. A State Council
meeting was also held during their State Shoot. Neil Hardy
from Townsville who has been their State President for the
past four years, did not seek re-election. Queensland Execu-
tive member, Richard Dean from Brisbane has taken over this
responsibility, and was elected to the post at this meeting. Bev
Grice from Caloundra, is still the SecretarytTreasurer for the
State.

winner and John Porter winner of the State Point Score.
Saturday 7, Sunday May 8, 1983.
The NSW mining town of Broken Hill conducted their
annual two day shoot over this weekend, and attracted one
hundred and twenty shooters from clubs in NSW, SA and
Victoria. National Executive members, Jim Scott from NSW
and Leighton Martin from SA were also in attendance.
Weather conditions were excellent for shooting, with shoot
offs going into the hundreds before a winner was decided.
Shooters to do well and show good form at the tournament
were, Peter Telford, Ray Jenkins and Vin Dawson; all received
micro-wave ovens for winning their respective groups in the
first event on the program. Jim Finis, from Mildura won a
double and collected two automatic shot guns. He shot
1051105 to win the A Grade section in the Broken Hil Gift and
1071107 in the Centenary Year Classic, to be top A Grade in
this event. Russell Mark, now residing in Werribee, Victoria,
had to chalk up 125 straight to win the Double Barrel
Championship. Bob Ross from Wedderburn, Victoria, cap-
tured the George Hoskins Memorial Point Score Cham-
pionship with 1051105. Bill Drew from Mildura, only had to
shoot 51/51 to win the Single Barrel Championship. Peter
Forner, who will be remembered as the winner of the 1983
Grand Australia Handicap at the Adelaide Nationals, by being
the only competitor to record a possible 50150 in the event,
and win it outright, was in top form, and proved at the Broken
Hill shoot, his National win was no fluke. Peter who hails

The North West Zone conducted its annual coaching day at
Jeparit Gun Club. Although some thirty-five shooters were in
attendance, with several new shooters taking advantage of
coaching, and also others, the rules discussion which was
part of the program, it was generally thought by the
organisers, the seminar needs to be improved. At a Council
meeting that followed the coaching day, it was agreed by the
Council, a more advanced coaching seminar be organised. The
format to include information on Level 2 and also coaching
for the more advanced shooter. Clubs and shooters wiU be

advised of when and where, and the agenda for the seminar as
soon as it is finalised. In the events conducted during the
afternoon, Steven Hounsel, Paul Schilling and Gary Morrison
shot well enough to collect the sashes and trophies in the
Graded Double Barrel Championship. The Jeparit team of
David Flavil, Jim Gawith, Prank Pitt, Rob Pitt and Stan
Newcornbe won the Perry and Hounsell Club team Shoot.
Wednesday May 18, 1983
The Sunraysia Branch of the Victorian Field and Game
Association organised a shoot to raise funds for Gus Clark-
son. Gus is a member of Mildura Gun Club as well as the Field
and Game, and is a top shot in both disciplines. At the 1983
0 George Menfiplay from V.F. & G, wishes Gus Clarkson the
best for his shooting trip to represenf Australia in Portugal.
Simulated Field and Game Nationals, hosted by the Sunraysia
Branch at Mildura, Gus won overall high gun, and the honor
to represent Austraia in Simulated field shooting in Portug-
al. Some $800 was raised to assist him make the trip. Gus is
now in Portugal, and we wish him "Good Luck" and "Good
Shooting".

Sunday May 22, 1983
The V.C.T.A. Council met in Ballarat. State Association
delegate for the North East Zone, Kevin Dobson, gave notice
to the meeting, he will not be seeking re-election to the North
East Zone Council, or the State Association at their next Zone
Annual General meeting. Kevin represented Victoria on the
National Executive for several years and was one of the
instigators in the formation and development of the Victorian
State Association. He is a strong supporter of the sport of clay
shmting, evidenced by his making land available for the
establishment of the new Echuca Gun Club. His contribution
to our sport will be acknowledged at a Testimonial shoot to be
organised in his honor by the Victorian Clay Target Association,
and the Echuca Gun Club. A Sub-committee has been set
up by the V.C.T.A. to organise the function. Sunday November
27,1983 has been selected as the day for the big event, and
shooters should watch C.T.S.N. for further details. It was
noted at this meeting, some clubs have not yet paid the
Administration Pee of $10 to the State My. This fee has been
increaged from $2 to $10 the reason being the necessity to
help offset rising costs experienced by the State Association in
its operation. I would recommend to Victorian clubs, they
support their State Association by paying their $10 as soon as
possible. The next major shooting event for Australia, will be
the 1983 Skeet Nationals to be conducted at the Melbourne
Gun Club. This is a first for the National body and its success
will rely heavily on the host State, Victoria. All skeet shooting
enthusiasts are requested to rally to the cause and support the
tournament. A sub-committee has been formed by the State
Association to attend to details for the running of

"Hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil!!!"
he laconic Australian and his attitude, "She will be Pright
Jack!!" often has this writer bemused and in some instances
rery angry. In my February 83 column, my leader item,
!overed GUN SAZXTY. This drew one letter from a shooter
mho was (to use his words) "embarrased", by my coverage of
;his and other sins. We seemed to be "labouring" under more
;ban a few misconceptions, but I can only deduct from his
'letter", he is of the opinion, if you look the other way, such
gins will vanish!! It appears I'm not tiie only person to notice
similar problems: Today I was handed a copy of the American
'Trap & Field", which is our counter part, the Amateur
hapshooting Association. The leader article, is by the Presi-
lent, under the heading "The President's Page" by Mr Randy
Xarke, who had this to say, and I quote him .here:
'Zast August in the Executive Committee meeting held
during the Grand American, two new rules were
passed, concerning GUN SAEXTY. The first is a rule
that no "test" shots will be fixed. The reason for this new
rule, is very simple, the safety of the trapsetter. A
trapsetter knows that lie is safe in the house because the
only shots being fired are at targets that his machine
throws".
On this score, we are well in front' of the American's. First
our traps are provided with a red flag, that must be up
at all times, when no competition is being shot over that
trap. Second: should there be a need, if at all, for a test
shot to be conducted in Australia, it must be carried out
under the complete supervision of the REFEREE. This
applies over any trap layout, in Australia. Mr Randy
Clarke continued his write-up on American GUN SAFE,-
TY rules by saying this:
"The second rule change that was passed, concerned
(A.T.A. rule 13) which states. All guns must be
unloaded with the actions open at all timess; except on
the firing line. Violators of these rules subject them-
selves to immediate disqualification, without recourse
with dismissal from the grounds."
The American A.T.A President, went on to explain:
"This rule is ignored by far too many shooters, and the
A.T.A Executive-Committee felt that a clear definition
of the PENALTY for violation of this safety rule was
needed, and outlined the following."
Here let me hasten to say, the American's are catching up
with Australia, by the introduction of this very important but
much needed stringent rule on their safety requirements; as
Mr Randy Clarke concluded his reprt on their safety issue.
"Shooters who repeat the violation of (A.T.A rule 13),
would be notified of a 30 day suspension, for a second
vidation, while 90 days is the rule for a third violation.
Continuing violations would be reviewed by the Execu-
tive Committee for further action".
Your "shooting Shorts" columnist can only PRESUME, by
saying, I wonder what the "three-monkeys" have to say about
that!!!? Perhaps if A.C.T.A. (Rule 28) is enforced by referee's
and chblmanagement, our penalties, like the A.T.A. of
America, will soon weed out the smPl percentage of our
offenders, that make up the sum total of Australian violators.
At the same time, it will give new shooters a more aware set of
"values" upon entering clay target shooting.
"SALUTE: TO A G
This writer makes no secret, of his respect for senior members
of this sport, community or country. Therefore it would be
remiss of me not to mention my admiration, as I'm sure all oi
us would share, for the little Victorian farmer 61 year old Cliff
Young who annihilated the other contestants, some half his
age in the Sydney-Melbourne marathon road race, and if that
was not enough . . . setting a new record for the event. One
hell of a lot of Australian's folbwed his run md many stayed
up to cheer him into the home straight and victory. I think all
of us ran the last few miles with him step for step, or as it has
become known "shufle for shufle", and I'm sure a little bit in
all of us would have died if Cliff had not made it. But he did,
and in doing so he has given sometlung very important to aLl
of us. Have faith in yourself. In the words of the unknown
poet it goes like this:
YOU CAN IF YOU THINK YOU CAN
If you think you are beaten, you are;
if you think you darent, you don't;
if you'd like to win, but think you can't;
it's almost a cert you won't;
if you think you'll lose, you've lost,
for out in the world you'll find
success begins with a fellow's will
it's all in the state of mind.
If you think that you are outclassed, you are;
you've got to think high to rise;
you have to be sure of yourself to even win a prize.
Life's battles don't always go to strongest or faster man,
But sooner or later the man who wins,
IS THE FELLOW WHO THINKS HE CAN.
I!"
The days when the "old soft shoe", was the best way to handle
the "political problems" that confront the shooting sports, I'm
afraid, are long gone. Softly, softly may have been the
accepted manner in the early 1960's . . . but not so today.
AU around us the "masses" are making noises, and rathex
vocal ones at that, for what they require from both the law
makers and their elected political parties. There is little doubt
that the ones who get what they want, are the ones who put up
the biggest and best showing. The reason for these changes in
attitude and manner, are mainly due to the Instant coverage
afforded any group yelling for their "rights". This ther
becomes instant material for both TV news cameras on the
look out, seeking something controversiak or the city daily
press competing for headlines over the electronic media.
Todays politician knows a good TV image and gift of th6
"gab" can score winning points. . . and V.O.T.E.S, we all
lrnow what that means. What the shooting sports don't need,
are the handful of "doubting-Thomases", who preach their
brand of defeatism when the going gets tough. Dogmatic
political parties, "eat nice guys" for breakfast, while they pay
full attention to ones who make their presence felt. That's my
point of view. What's yours?
Over the past few decades, the city media has displayed a some

what detached view point regarding the shooting sportspeople;
the men and women, who partake in the various shooting
disciplines. Every effort made by members of city clubs to the
media, for sports coverage of one kind or another was other
than successful. Of late. I must report, there has been the
occasional shooting sportsperson covered in the Sydney
media. For my money, that's a start in the right direction. The
country media however, has for some time responded to our
sport, with quite good visual and other reports being published.
Bernice. Britian the hardworking Publicity Officer for
the Griffith Clay Target Club, reports she h%s been getting
very gocd coverage in their local "Area News", with three
reports per month of shootin'g events held at the Griffith Clay
Target Club. Bernice. not one to let an owaortunitv aass for
0e SP~~~,a~~roached the sports editor of ther'&ei News",
for a weekly shooting column, to cover all firearm sports. The
editor responded by publishing the requests under the banner
of a logo, that Bernice and fellow Griffith shooters designed
and provided for publication. While down Wagga
Wagga way their club has been very busy with continued
approaches, which have been more than successful in getting
day target shooting and shooters covered in the "Daily
Advertiser", which is the "voice" of the Riverina. I put a phone
call in to their Sports Director Mr Ted Ryder (whom I knew
from the racing days of the gallopers) and he renewed old
times and explained they would welcome any shooting news
that local clubs had to supply. From this you can deduct that
one of the most important roles any club can play . . . is to
appoint a very capable ,and forward thinking person in the
very important position of PUBLICITY OFFICER. Their local
successes are the foundation on which our sport will receive
wider national acceptance.
Hitting Where You Aim:
It's a fact, not known to many, that today's modern - Mass
produced makers of shotguns, do not check the accuraoy and
patterning qualities of their guns in the cheap or popular
price range. Cost factors play an important role here. Such
individual attention is only reserved for the models that carry
the big dollar price tag. True, the cheap guns are proof tested
for safety etc, but that's all of the extent given as they come off
the production line.
While on the other hand, as would be expected the top line
high grade expensive smooth bores are given all the test
attention and hand finish needed to put them in the class
you're paying for.
The owner of any new shotgun, therefore should take the
time and effort to pattern the gun, for several important
reasons: More than one man has gone through his share of
misses before he learned the hard way, that his gun was not
quite shooting "straight". It is important to test fire a few
shots with your new trap gun and find out just how it is
throwing a pattern, so that you can learn your guns
individual point of impact. While it helps to know your guns
patterns density, It's just as important even more so to know
where your gun is shooting in relation to your shooting
performance and style. Discover this and you will be well
ahead of the shooter who is too lazy to find out.
Most clubs have a pattern board. All you need do, is seek the
required permission of the appropriate person in charge, in
order to use it. Properly applied, what you find out
may give you quite a surprise. Lastly - don't try this
operation on club shoot days, but wait until your club has a '
practice day, before you seek to pattern your new gun.
Top Gunsmith calls by:
My old buddy from Gilgandra (N.S.W.), well known
smoothbore artist, Donald G. Patrick, made a short visit to the
Sydney Traps weekend of May 22nd. Don sporting his best
R.M. Williams gear (minus the horse) with his faithful
Browning Om, spent an enjoyable time smashing clays and
talking English double guns, with your scribe. Don, who can
spot a top line London gun at a little over 500 yards and a
good horse in just under VQ a mile, has a keen eye for quality.
. . and few peers in the gunsmithing profession, this side of
'alack dog creek", or any other place for that matter.
Don, in company with Joe Chiappetta, another devotee of
quality guns being the GAMBA agent in Australia, braved the
rather wet conditions trying to outshoot each other. From my
observations the final result was two very wet clay busters,
and a perfect dead heat!
I retired a happy man from the encounter, because when
these two get together, even the dullest days take on a bright
glow . . . if YOU get my drift!!!.
Don't tell Mr Heinz: Mr Modey!!!!
According to my United Kingdom, contact Mike Barnes of
"Sporting Gun", a story is repeatedly being told at Scotland
Yard Special Branch, of the Detective who was assigned to
watch over a very important V.I.P. Our Very Important
Person, belonged to the pheasant shooting fraternity and both
the V.I.P. and his shadow ending up one weekend as guests
on a Scottish grouse moor.
Out of what must be termed "shooters" curiosity, our VIP
asked the Special Branch detective if he thought he could
shoot a bird with his Pistol. The detective said he would have a
go, in the best of British tradition, and duly hit his bird
square in the breast.
The astonished minister, exc~tedly called over the host to
inspect both the remains and to witness the fine bit of
shooting. Walking over with his top Line Purdey under the
crook of his arm, the laird looked disapprovingly at th,e
result, then dryly remarked: "Efmmm, I suppose it will do for
soup"!!

passing of Mr Peter Heath former Chairman of the Royal Aero

Effective Communicstion
All organisations including the V.C.T.A. would generaly
agree that a problem of the times 1s that of effective
communication, in the endeavour to improve expedient and
accurate information into clubs it is the intention of the
V.C.T.A. to send to &U clubs affiliated with our association a
newsletter on a regular basis.
V.C.T.A. Administration
The State Council is currently reviewing all administrative
procedures with the view to provide the optimum orgariisation
to meet the needs of Zones, Clubs and Shooters. All
progressive associations must constantly consider the need
for change to ensure that they keep up with the changing
times. Plans are well under way in this area, a coaching sub
committee has already met and recommendations made have
started to be put into effect to the betterment of Victorian
Coaching.
V.C.T.A. Administration Fee Increase
At the November meeting of State Council it was unanimously
decided that the Administration Fee be increased from
$2 to $10 being consistent with other States some of which
have a fee in excess of $10 per club. This increase is necessary
to help offset rising costs such as postage and photo copying
etc. The President earnestly requests your support re this
increase which in the majority of clubs represents only a few
cents per member.
Firearms Trainfng Grant
The V.C.T.A. was once again very pleased with the grant
from the Department of Police & Emergency Services of
$7150 to assist our association in Firearms Training Awareness.
Individual clubs who applied for a grant and supplied
the necessary information received a share of the grant. A
sum of $500 has also been allocated to each Zone to assist with
Zone Training Programs.
Victorian Sports Aid Foundation
The Victorian Sports Aid Foundation is a joint project of the
Department of Youth Sport & Recreation and the Statewide
Building Society to assist young Victorian Athletes to achieve
higher Australian and International ranking. In 1982 Alex
Crikis and Ian Hale were successful applicants. If any shooter
wishes to apply for a grant 1 would be pleased to supply
further information.
The closing dates of applications are as follows, all applications
must be processed through the State Association - 15th
April, 1983 - 15th July, 1983 - 15th October, 1983.
State Coaching Program
The V.C.T.A. State Coaching Sub Committee met recently
with Mr G. Biggs, the Victorian State Coach, at the Melbourne
Gun Club and formulated a program to fully utilise the
Firearms Training Grant and the Department of Youth Sport
and Recreation Sports Assistance Grant which totalled
$10,450.

commencement is 31st March 1984 and the program is to be
the same as 1983.

Next year at Wagga we hope to have full State uniform for
our shoulder to shoulder team.
Attended a meeting at Cowra Gun Club on 1-5-83 where a
caretaker committee for the new Central Zone of New South
Wales was elected.
The group of people who attended this meeting were keen
and itching to get on with the job of administering the sport of
clay target shooting within their new zone.
Caretaker Committee Central Zone:-
President, Noel Dwight; Vice President, Ron Parker; Peter
Hayman; Secretary-Treasurer, Richard Kiss. State Delegates:
Noel Dwight, Ron Parker, Peter Mould.
Our State Coaching Director, Barney Rooke is becoming
extremely proficient with the new video camera. He is now
waiting for zone and club coaches to call him so that he can
help out with coaching problems being experienced in your
district.
At the Nationals this year the number of ladies competing
and their standard of competition was really something to be
admired, proving once again that our sport has no discrimin-
tion or prejudice.
While on this subject, did you notice that of all the
Inter-state teams matches for 1982 for N.S.W. the greatest
prominence was achieved by our ladies when they tied for
first place with Victoria. Congratulations girls, J. Longmore,
D. Newcombe, V. Gatt, L. Blake, D. Huddleston, A. Walker.
Sadly we did not have enough ladies or juniors attend our
Skeet Carnivals to make up a team in either of these divisions
we certainly hope that this situation will change at Coffs
fiarbour in August this year!
We are about to encourage all zones in N.S.W. to develop
and promote their own individual membership and cham-
pionship badges. I'm sure your zone executive would appreci-
ate your support in this matter. Also support your zone
carnivals and team eLiminations as much as you possibly can,
try and field the best zone team at the State Trap and Skeet
Carnivals this year. Let's try and revive the old "team
shooting" spirit.
Jim Scott from Dubbo was elected to the hternational
Sub-committee as the standard discipline delegate for 1983.
Congratulations Jim and good luck.
Recently I was bombarded by complaints about the new
shooting rules, these attacks were verbal and at a shoot. It is
extremely difficult to remember all the suggestions when
received under these conditions. Take time out, sit down and
write to the N.S.W. representative to the A.C.T.A. referees
Association. Albert Povey, 18 Eastlake Drive, Wagga Wagga.

Under the present system of rule making you must
remember that each State of Austraiia has one delegate to the
A.C.T.A. Referees association, he is the voice of you the
shooter, it doesn't matter how many shooters there are in a
state or how complicated and expensive the resultant com-
munications problem.
Then again this situation is nothing new to the executive of
the Australian Clay Target Assoc. Where even on the main
executive committee each state has two delates no matter how
many shooters they have to represent. However I guess this
alternative style of democracy has to be better for the majority
of Australian shooters, otherwise it wouldn't be this way; or
would it.
Since our self proclaimed expert Mr Darwon has com-
menced writing articles for the clay target shooting news I
have been inundated with statements saying "why don't you
do something about this bloke! He's from your State." It
amazes me how New South Wales becomes my state when
things are happening that shooters disagree with.
You have as much right to air your opinions in the C.T.S.N.
as Mr Darwon, now I ask you, why don't you take the
opportunity to do something about this man yourself it's your
state too.
Some clubs have not paid up the 1983 administration fee to
the state association at this stage. It costs money just to send
out a club newsletter each month, let alone all other adminis-
trative activities which are mandatory for a state assoc.
Therefore we are going to have to seriously consider cutting
communication with those clubs who are unable to find $10 in
the kitty to cover the 1983 administrative fee.
Still we wait for payment for program books, as the years
go by more clubs seem to want more than ever for nothing. It
would be great if this concept applied to all things in life.
Those of you looking to book accommodation for the State
Trap Carnival at Illawarra, October 1983, please contact Mrs
Irma Vogel, Downtown Travel, "Jetset Tours", Crown Central,
,Wollongong, phone (042) 28 6177.
Encouraging to see N.S.W. Gun Clubs sending more
comprehensive reports of shoots for inclusion in C.T.S.N. this
is the type of thing your members are looking for, a bit of a
story and a few photos showing what their friends in the
game are doing, that's what publicity is all about through the
medium of your magazine.
Clay Target shooting in N.S.W. is going ahead let's keep it
that way. d
DEAR IAN,
That momsnt at the Presentation Dinner when our President
Mr Laurie Conners announced the name of the winner of
the Eley Newton Thomas award as myseIf, will live long in my
memory.
I would like through the C.T.S.N. to thank all those that
considered me worthy of this magnificent award.
My sincere appreciation to my home club (hzurri) who
must have done a real Sherlock Holmes to get some of the
information that was presented. You really are the greatest
collection of individuals its been my pleasure to associate
with.
The same can be said about the Executive and members of
the W.A.C.T.A., for without their support and approval my
name would not have been able to be put forward.
It just goes to prove that when it comes to the sport of
shooting, Clay Target is the Booming Sport.
Thank You,
MURRAY ALEXANDER.

W and C Scott (Gunmakers) was founded in 1834, by a
uniquely talented craftsman. William Middleditch
Scott. A successful gunmaker, he filled contemporary
Patent books with inventions pertaining to guns. One
of which - the Scott spindle - is used to this day in
many gun locking systems.
Wand C Scott amalgamated with the Webley Revolver
Company in 1897, and continued to produce fine
shotguns for a number of decades. Today the modern
hand made to order W.C Scott double gun is more than a
joy to use. . . It's also for the foreseeable future, an
extremely sound investment. Two models are made to

Dear Roper.
Hope &is note finds you in good health and feeling fine.
Your comments about the ALP were right on the ball. I read
your "Shooting-Shorts" and both like it's contents and enjoy
all of it. It does good for the sport, something which has been
lacking over the last few years.
The late Fred Burns was a mate of mine, we won DDs with
each other and shot together often. He was ten times
champion of champions at both clays and live birds, which
was not a bad effort. I came home from NZ to be told of his
passing and drove over to Shepparton where many trap
shooters came to his resting place.
I for one, am with you on the great idea for a "Hall of Fame"
re your column comments, June C.T.S.News. I have the glass
balls, the type first used before clays, Melbourne Gun Club
coins to operate the Live bird traps (of old) and a general
meeting card, Essendon Gun Club 1908, plus 1912 Bernleigb
Gun Club Championship badge, which should be with all
other such things put into a Hall of Fame collection with the
view for dl shooters to see. I have given the Junior High Gun
to s Nationals and a Junior trap High Gun. Keep up the good
work Roger, you have the backing of many, many shooters,
and we look forward to the news each month.
Yours faithfully,
Bill Attwood 0

The following concerns two shooters now passed on who
had many things in common. They were both near the
allocated span of three score and ten years, were both very
good clay target shots, and they were much more than keen.
(From here on I shall refer to them as Bill and John). They
only differed in one aspect which was that John owned a car
and Bill did not drive, so consequently the following events
occurred:
Early one Sunday morning Bilf rang John and suggested
they go to a shoot which was to be held at a small but
never-the-less popular club. This was in the days when
shooting on Sundays was to say the least, taboo. That did not
make a great deal of difference as this club conducted shoots
on Sundays quite regularly. How it was managed very few
shooters knew nor did they care as long as there were targets
to shoot at and the shoot was well patronized. I was however
once told on good authority that the second name of the local
law was "Horatio" which was very helpful indeed.
Now back to our two shooters. John said that he would like
to attend but being Sunday and the law being what it was, he
said he would not be going and that was final. However, he
did agree to go along after Bill said he would pay for the petrol
and also the entry fees for the events. After arriving in good
time, all were enjoying themselves what with good condi-
tions, good scores and a barbeque. Bill having finished,his
first round went to "see a man abut a dog" (a water spaniel, I
believe). On the path leading back to the shooting area he was
confronted by a young policeman who asked him what he was
doing there. Not only was Bill a good shot but a quick thinker
and assuming a very bland expression, replied, "I heard some
unusual noises and thought I would have a look". The
constable very quickly told him to "Clear off and to mind his
own business". Bill did not need to be told a second time and
faded into the clump of trees where he waited until the coast
was clear and then returned to find out that unbeknown to the
local police, a squad from Melbourne called in and put an end
to a pleasant Sunday afternoon's sport. Apart from that,
things were not too bad as the guns were not confiscated and
the shooters were dealt with in the local Court which inflicted
rather light fines and they were all invited to an afternoon's
shoot (during the week I might add!) which they enjoyed
particularly when thcy were joined by the S.M and several
members of the Court staff.
That was only part of the story which ended on a happy
note; Bill had been told to "clear off' payed the fine imposed on
John and John won the main event for the day with Bill a dose
second. 0

RIVERINA ZONE
CONTINENTAL POI
Bernice Britain
The Riverina Zone Night Continental Point Score Cham-
pionship shoot held at the Griffith CIay Target Club on
Sunday May 1, 1983, was very successful. Two car-loads of
jubilant Narrandera shooters stopped to compete on their way
home from the Commonwealth Continental Titles at Hay. The
50 target Commonwealth Continental Title had been won by
Craig Ceely, a young Narrandera shooter, with a score of
47150 against strong competition from NSW and VIC shoo-
ters.
Although he shot very well in the Riverina Zone Night
Continental Point Score Championship 72/75 points, he was
unable to withstand the challenge from fellow Narrandera
shooter, Mark O'Mahoney, who holds dual membership with
the Griffith Clay Target Club. Using a borrowed Franchi
2003, O'Mahoney carded a superb 74175 points.
From the field of 24 shooters only Tony Salafia, Leeton Gun
Club, scored a possible 30130 points in the 10 target Eye-
opener.
The winners of the Riverina Zone Night Continental Point
Score Championship were
"A" grade and Overall Champion, Mark O'Mahoney 74175
points.
"B" grade, Angelo Paonne, Leeton Gun Club, 68/75 points.
"C" grade, Grant Ceely, Narrandera Gun Club, 60175 points.
Each year the Griffith Clay Target Club awards the "Chris
Cunial Perpetual Shield" to the shooter with the highest
aggregate score over eight out of eleven monthly shoots. The
"Chris Cunial Shield" for 1982 was won by Tony Sahfia of
Leeton Gun Club.
John Evans of the Griffith Clay Target Club was named
High Gun Club Member of the three months January-March
and awarded the "Codemo Butcheries Trophy ."
Both shooters were congratulated on their fine perform-
ances by vice president Ian Evans.

On an absolutely beautiful day for shooting at the Cunderdin grounds, only 14
faithfull shwters chose to attend our 50 target DTL Interclub Shoot. With 60 few
shooters it wm decided to make things a little more interesting a-@score the
&gets points score. As a consequence John Harris who &o shot a 49-50 wae
eliminat@d from the Interclub team becaum of lack of point@. With the perfect
conditions, everyone was surprisd in that no one brought in a perfect 50.50. The

relaxed too much with the obviourr results.

The Perth - Azzurri Gun Club's Friendship day shoot for
1983 has been run and won.
Shooters from both clubs gathered at this year's venue the
Perth Gun Club at 1 pm on Saturday, May 14 to shoot for the
cup, and right from the outset it was obvious that there was to
be no friendship as far as the shooting side of the proceedings
went.
Perth Gun Club President, Dick Howell welcomed all to the
club and immediately advised the Azzurri shooters that the
cup was going to remain with his club. Shades of the

America's Cup and the Newport Yacht Club 1 thought to
myself, then he turned to his club members and gave them a
few ideas on what would happen if any of them should happen
to let the side down.
Not to be out done, Clem Bertini the President of the Azzurri
Gun Club reciprocated and re-assured the Perth members that
it was not going to be handed to them on a plate. He then also
turned on his own members and politely told them that
anyone who did not put in good scores would spend Monday
spreading sand for him.
Well as you can imagine, with the shooters all so immediate-
ly enthused, things got off to a cracking start and the first
event, a 25 double barrel handicap event was won by Dave
Barron of the Aazurri Club with a 27127. Poor old Dave must
really hate spreading sand as he is a C grade shooter of only
some 12 months experience and he outshot some of the state's
best to win.
Second place went to AHm Farthing of the Perth Club wlth
a fine 26/27 and poor old Dick Howell, not wishmg to have to
eat his words came in a creditable third with 36/38
Credit must &so go to two other shooters who shot very well
considering that they are both recovering from injury and
operations. Allan Pobjoy of the Perth Club shot a 35/37 and
Doug McCauley of Azzurri shot 33/35. Marvellous what a few
standover type words from ones president will do isn't it.
Everything was looking good for the second event and
things started to happen again when the Azzurri Mafia team
of George Ferrara and Tony Disilvio showed that they meant
business this time. George shot a 25/25 and Tony wasa't far
behind. John Tetlow and Les Hall were pushng for a spot m
the team as well both with 24125.
The second event whch was 25 Double Barrel from the
common mark also brought a few more good scores which
finally gave both Perth and Azzurri tied totals and things
were electric. Bill Morrow, John Eddy and Robin Bailey of
Perth had made their presence felt and the ever consistent,
Murray Alexander of Azzurri with fellow member, Ian
Jackson registered their intentions of being to the fore as
well.
The winners of the second event were Murray Alexander of
haurri with 57/57 followed by John Eddy and Robin Bailey of
Perth with 56157 and 50151.
Scores were all added up and both clubs had to have shoot -
off% to decide the team of five for the cup.
Perth shot off and the final selection was Bilk Morrow, Chris
Brown, John Eddy, Allan Pobjoy and Clive Shepherd with
Robin Bailey, Tony Yozzi and President Dick Howell being
dropped after the shoot off.
The Azzurri shoot off resulted m Tony Disilvio, John
Tetlow, Ian Jackson, Dave Barron and Murray Alexander
being selected for the team with Les Hall being dropped after
having to shoot off with his mentor, Murray Alexander. The
shoot off s were held over 10 handicap and 10 double barrel,
Les said that he didn't mind the double barrel but when he
shoots off 15 and Murray shoots from 25 metres, he could do
without the exercise.
The team event scores resulted m a win for the Perth Gun
Club who won by four points and full credit must go to them
for the win. It is common knowledge however that home
ground advantage has to be worth at least five points so
perhaps the Perth boy's shouldn't look so smug. Anyway, it's
all on again next year and congratulations to Perth for 1983.
With the shooting out of the way and trophies presented,
the friendslup really got going and a superb barbecue was
presented by the Perth club. Everyone thought that the
competition was over but Perth members John Eddy and Mike
Wells thought otherwise and were wandering around looking
for a team to take part in a "drink off'. Mike Wells, who had
not really shot well on the day had his hanchcap glass with
him, which is a four gallon bucket and John Eddy was
carrying the two lengths of garden hose for straws. There
being no takers, they turned their attention to the pool table
and when I last saw them were demonstrating thei arowess
to a totally un-interested group of revellers. Thanks 1 erth and
Azzurri for another great friendship day shoot.

AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS-JULY 1983
Cont'd from page 25
State I.S.U. Trench Carnival held at the Melbourne Gun
Club February 26 & 27
This shoot was an outstanding success with 11 squads
competing which was a clear indication that I.S.U. is alive and
well in Victoria the centre of Clay Target Shooting in
Australia.
Firems Legislation
Mr R. Buchan the V.C.T.A. President was invited to be a
member of Government Advisory Committee on matters
relating to Firearms Legislation. Although he represents all
shooting disciplines I believe that his selection is a vote of
confidence in his ability as a top shooting sports administra-
tor and it also reflects favourably on our association.
Our President's record for supporting the cause of shooting
stands on its own and all shooters regardless of their chosen
shooting discipline can be assured that he will leave no stone
unturned to get the best deal for shooters.
Presidents and Secretaries Seminar
It is proposed that in the ensuing months that the V.C.T.A.
will sponsor a Clubs Presidents and Secretaries Seminar to
help improve the effectiveness and promotion of our sport at
club level and also to help strengthen the communication line
between shooter - club - zone - V.C.T.A. - A.C.T. A.

TATE TITLE
T TOOLONDO
The Toolondo Gun Club is a small country club and despite
having the rear wall of the clubhouse removed by a storm a
month earlier staged the Victorian State Deauville Doubles
Championship on Sunday 24th April.
and Trevor Niven.
The wall had been replaced, the drought broken and despite
a cold North East wind on the day some of the top Deauville
Doubles pairs turned up.
After the first round Norm and David Paterson were 2
targets clear of the field with 9/10 but a bad second round of
7/10 saw the Mt Gambier pair of George Steele and Trevor
Niven tie with them on 16/20.
In the shoot off that lasted only two targets it saw the
Steele-Niven combination victorious and again proving that
they are one of the top Deauville doubles pair around today.
The second event of the day was the Toolondo and District
Double Barrel Championship that was sponsored by Wimmera
Jeweller Francis Latus and Son. Many thanks to them for
their support.
Once again it was the weather that proved hard to beat.
Nick Gabbe from Goroke was the only possible to take Overall
and A Grade with 25125. To heat off a strong field of A graders
on 24125, Alan Cameron had to shoot another 50 targets to
run second.
In B Grade it saw Rodney Maybery of Goroke win with
25/28 from Allison Smith on 24/28 Michael Percell on 18/25
won C Grade with Horrie Mitchell on 14/25 second. 0

Zone Carniva
Karen Williams
Sixty seven shooters from most South West Zone clubs,
together with visitors from as far afield as Melbourne,
Geelong, Werribee, FrankstodAustralian, Horsham, Jeparit
and Mount Gambier contested the 1983 South West Zone
Carnival held at Hamilton Gun Club on April 30.
The shoot was dominated by an 18 year old shooter, Steven
Muller from Warmamhool, who has been shooting very well
lately, also scoring a Zone win at the Bushfire Relief shoot
held at Noorat recently.
The weather was unkind, being cold, blustery with an
occasional shower of rain, but the competitors fought the
elements bravely to put up some credible scores.
The shoot was attended by Bill Abbott, National and State
Executive Committee man, who presented the prizes at the
conclusion of the shoot and encouraged the Zone to a blgger
and better future.
Zone President Robert McDonald waspleased with the shoot
considering the present economic climate in this part of the
State.
Executive committee member Bill Abbotf congratulates
Steven Muller and Frank Taylor on their success.
Five club teams contested the Zone Team shoot, shot in
conjunction with the South West Zone Double Barrel event.
The winning team was Hamilton No. 1 team comprising.

Just a few news items to start with, firstly the Victorifm
State Coaching Director, George Biggs has resigned from that
position, and consequently from the Coaching Council, which
comprises all the State Directors and myself. George has been
involved in the coaching scheme since its inception. Working
particularly hard in the areas of School Boy & Girl and Junior
shwting, and of course gun safety. George also coached the
Victorian State Olympic Discipline Squads when they were
formed. George Biggs has a great wealth of experience and
knowledge and has contributed his skills b the Victorian Clay
Target Shooting fraternity. I am sure we all wish George well
in the future.
Beth Catling a well known clay shooter from Western
Australia who is the wife of the Western Australian Coaching'
Director Tim Catling has not had the best of health lately, I
would on behalf of the Coaching fraternity wish Beth a speedy
recovery. Both Beth and Tim are great ambassadors for our
Sport and their State.
Because Coaches spend a good deal of their time thinking of
others problems they often don't have time to concentrate on
their own shooting, so it was pleasing to see Dennis Lymn a
Zone Coach from South Australia win the Australian Double
Barrel Championship and Coaches. Pud Burgess, Terry
Rumbel, John Maxwell and Ian Hale in the Olympic discipline

Weather conditions were overcast and conditions difficult for
shooters.

Barney Rmke the N.S,W. State Coaching Director is
holding a Coaching Seminar in June, sadly I will not be able to
be present, I say sadly because the N.S.W. Seminars are
always enjoyable as well as informative. Pud Burgess a
retired member of the Coaching Council is to represent me at
the seminar. My good wishes to all who attend.
It was good to be invited to the Coaching Seminar heId at the
Melbourne Gun Club on the 1st May, George Biggs State
Director and Assistant Director Harry Brooksby were assisted
by Ian Hale. It was good to see a roll up of Coaches from the
Field m d Game Association and the Sporting Shooters as well
as Clay Target Coaches. The Basic principles of Coaching are
very much the same in all sports.
Coaching at Club and Zone levels is going on all the time
and I am always pleased and interested to receive the
Coaching Reports from all over Australia. 0
