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, congratulations 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 Pag@ 6 Formulated solely for Target Shooting. Top seller in U.S.A. Big cost saving. BEV GRICE 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- gur Gun Club was the winner of the AA Grade his score 193/iQ4. A Grade S. Guest from Leeton 1191120. B Grade M. 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 Cant'd on page 8 i F211882 - AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS-JULY 1983
