EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S NOTES

The new shooting rules are included in this issue for all to read. Some of the changes are significant, and are already causing concern to shooters. From what I hear the rule regarding refusals is a worry to most. The Referee's Associa- tion delegates are confident that when shooters are fully aware of the ramifications of this rule, it will worlc very well. It certainly causes no problems in U.R. and U.S.A.

The Referee's Association has been criticised in some quarters for the changes to the Skeet rules, particularly regarding double loading at station seven. Some clubs have been using this system in practice, with great success. The acceptance of the changes from these skeet shooters has been excellent.

Big changes will be noted in the handicapping and grading rules. The handicapping procedure is simplified with the onus on the shooter who wants to move forward, to marlr his own handicap scores on his card and have them verified by the Club Secretary. Only one movement forward will be allowed in each year, and then only if s shooter has not won or been placed second in a handicap event shot from A.C.T.A. handicap marks.

A major change to the rule for down grading is that a competitor shall shoot two consecutive g ~ u p s of 200 targets at a lower grade percentage to be down graded.

Safety rules have been tightened to outlaw shooting from the hip. In future, this practice will carry an automatic three month suspension. All shooters are urged to study these new rules carefully

between now and January 1, 1983, when they will be implemented.

It is hoped that the new rules will encourage many more shooters to become registered Referees, a s a definite attempt has been made by the Referee's Association to take a lot of unnecessary responsibility from the Referee, placing much of the onus on the shooter.

Enjoy your shooting, IAN C. HILL0

REFEREE'S ASSOCIATION

Staff Writer d

The new rules to be implemented January 1, 1983 call for the appointment of Club and State Handicappers. Duties of these positions are listed below: CLUB HANDICAPPER

To handicap and grade shooters. Checlc to see that all common mark scores are entered on cards. Check that handicap changes are recorded on cards. To regrade or re-handicap any obviously undergraded or underhandicapped shooter. To advise Club Secretary of any changes in grading or handicapping for onforwarding to the A.C.T.A. office. STATE HANDICAPPER

To advise and assist Club Handicappers, and regrade and re-handicap any obviously undergraded or underhandicapped shooter.

The Referee's ~ssociatlon advises all clubs that a rubber stamp must be used when putting club's name on handicap cards.

It is hoped that all referee examiners. and referees, will be instructed in the new rules by March 1, 1982. The names of persons so instructed are to be sent to the National Office for onforwarding to Rules Supervisors . in . each state. 0

TEAM MANAGERS REPORT XIITE COMMONWEALTH GAMES

The A.S.A. affiliates all conducted series of trials for Commonwealth Games Team selection. Generally the trials were related to Training Squads which resulted in more experienced competitors beiig nominated in each event.

Most trials were completed by June 1982 and the A.S.A. Selection Committee approved a complete team of 16 competitors at the July 17, 1982 meeting in Sydney.

I think that the final team was the first Australian team that comprised members who had all had previous overseas international competition experience. This experience showed in the professional approach of the members to training, pre Games administration assembly arrd travel to Brisbane and conduct in village life and during the Games competition and training. It also made it easier for the Team officials to help the team members in all ways.

. Manager Peter Anderson and Coach Tibor Gonzo1 travelled to Brisbane on September 18 and had two busy days trying to sort out accommodation, travel and the like before the team arrived, under the wing of Assistant Manager Don Jones on 20th.

Brisbane airport was "standing room" only on the 20th but the Australian liaison team and the Games reception people really did a great job in getting teams cleared as soon as possible. As usual the firearms situation singled us out for extra attention, with the pistols needing a special licence. I had tried to arrange for these licences many months ago, but that was not to be and the pistols were licenced at the airport Police Station. No licences were needed for the rifles or shotguns.

Most ahooters and lawn bowlers were accommodated in the "second" village at the Mount Gravatt College of Advanced Education. The %aim.'' village waa at the Griffith University. Both were excellent localities, well sited in qufte, natural bushland. The rooms were excellent single accoinmodation. but Tibor and I nearly choked when we saw the rooms set up for three and in some cases four. It was t o m y unacceptable for our shooters and with some gentle negotiation we were able to settle on two per room, including officials. This meant having some people move ta Griffith. As Yvonne EIill had to move to the womens village at Griffith it was decided that the whole s W bore section, with Don Jones, would live at the main village. This was not ideal by any means, but without doubt, better than having three or four to a room. Being remote from the main administration was the greatest problem and Tibor and I wasted a lot of time travelling to and from the main village.

We were eventuaIIy all outfitted in a staggering array of uniform items, most of which I brought home unworn. Some of it does not fit and will be passed on, but I think everyone suffered that problem to some degree.

The shooting team will certainly recall that uniforms issue and accreditation were unnecessarily long and painful pro- cesses.

The dining room service was efficient and friendly and the food was excellent and in great quantity and variety.

After a few teething problems the transport was first class with adequate team transport and a very generous "shuttle bus" system that ran to the range and return on the hour.

The atmosphere in the village was just right - one had the

Peter Anderson .?? . '* .;i ;? !$

feeling of being in a somewhat restricted little world and congratulations are due to the organisers for this. I think that one good sign of a successfd Games is when the home nation's athletes feel as though they could well he in another country. We enjoyed our association with the Aussie lawn bowlers and also had every opportuty to renew acquantance with old shooting friends from previous competition.

For the competitors, the shooting facilities and organisation were absolutely tops. As is usual, there will be very few people who know just-what has been done over the last 4-5 years by a very deacated group of people. Forget about counting hours at meetings or days spent in physical labour on the ranges because it becomes much too complex when you throw in the mental strains and the dirty play needed to keep the show on the road. Whilst I am digressing - let me say from all the shooters to the shooting sub-committee and all involved - congratulations on a job very well done.

Organisation and competitors W e gave the facilities and themselves a good test during the t rdt ional pre Games Badge matches. Gold badges were won by Greg Colbert (Air Pistol), Phil Adams (Tree Pistol), and Jim Ellis (Trap). Silver badges were won by Phil Adams (Air Pistol), Ian Hale (Skeet) and Alan Smith (Prone). Bronze badges were won by Noel Ryan, Alex Taransky (Centre Elre Pistol), John Tremeiling (Free Pistol), Alex Taransky (Rapid Fire Pistol). Alex Crikis (Skeet), Anton Wurfel (Air Rifle), and Alan Smth. Anton Wurfel (3 Position). As always, the Opening Ceremony was a very moving

experience but the reception given to the Australian team aa we wheeled into the stadium definitely joim the short bst of "moments to be long remembered. Without a doubt, our shooting colleagues from the Falkland Islands received the second best reception - a good indication of the real sportsmanship shown by the spectators.

I don't know that I could adequately describe the Games competitions. The conditions treated all mmpehtors equally. the weather was mostly fine and the organisation on each range was first class. Australia won medals every day of competition, 7 Gold, 3 Silver and 4 B r o m in total. Also there were 3 4th places and 2 5th places. The excitement, team spirit and confidence in the Australian Shooting Camp was a unique and wonderful experience. I recall that it took some time for the rest of the Australian team to realise just what thew shooters were dorng, and to thew credit, they were all generous in their praise.

In turn, the media then realised what we were doing in the daily medal tally and turned their attention upon us. Whether or not we mere participants enjoy the medal tally, the media tell us that is what the public wants - even demands. We had a lot of publicity, and only one xtem was in very poor taste, that berng a newspaper article in the "Age". On several days I could say that I spent most of my tune in the vlLlage, and on the ranges, engaged in media interviews. So the efforts of our shooters in Brisbane has done more to

advance the "state of the art" of shooting in Australia than perhaps any other single event. It is now up to us all to work at building on what they have done.

SHOOT$NG SHORTS * By Roger Darwon

o Author, Roger Darwon.

(*Roger Darwon is affrearms consultant of P.O. Box 511, Marrickville, N.S. W. 22204).

An A Grade Clay Target shooter, the author of countless articles and publications on (iII sections of the shooting sports. Has studied shooting, clubs and methods used by many countries around the world: Wm for many years the General Manager of one of the

countries largest retaiVwholesa3e firearms outlets:

GOLD, GOLD, GOLD, the talk at the moment is all about our shooters, both individual and in teams, who set new highs for not only Australia but the shooting sports right across this land. Without distracting from each and every shooters great performance, it just goes to show there is nothing like performing on your own "turf' to bring the best out in each individual. It has many advantages that more than put the shots in your court. We all congratulate the shooters and officials plus every one who played a helping hand in the fielding of all shooters at the games in Brisbane. That's the goad news, next for the bsd: CRITICAL LOOK AT THE HIGHER ECHELONS WITHIN THE A.B.C.:

We all know the media is very biased when it comes to shooting and shooters. But the obvious bias handed down by the heavy weights within the A.B.C. when it concerns the coverage afforded to our champions who won GOLD SILVER & BRONZE was a most shocking case of pure prejudice. I'm one of thousands who wrote and voiced my opinions about this very subject. How do I know there were thousands you ask, well that was very simple. Back came a prepared preprinted letter, with your name printed at the heading, enough p m f for this scribe; the voice of the shmter was well and truly heard at the Aunty office. The best way to get the message across, is not by letter however but by twisting dials.

Its a sad and sorry state of affairs when our sports women and men are treated so shockingly, more so when in their own country. But the classic had to be the aunozzncer on the games round up for Tuesday, when he told us "AustraXia has won another gold medal, at trap shooting can't think of the shooters name just dropped the sheet on the studio floor!" I can add with lots of amazement, then utter disgust, he did not even bother to come on at any stage and inform us who the - - shooter was. CAlUtERA CREWS FANTASTIC

Lets not pass the opportunity to thank the camera crews who covered the games in Brisbane: They did a fantastic job, covered every event and did everything possible to show Australia the shooting events as part of their coverage: Top brass at the A.B.C., will no doubt try and pass the buclr down the line, a very easy habit top brass have in this country. However this scribe knows the real truth and intends letting you all know who holds the real key to this disgusting example of treating our shooters a s second class performers. Conclusion: if this is the manner in which the powers to be a t the A.B.C. operate, then its high time, we poor taxpayers, and second class sports men & women made a concerted effort to voice our real feelings. My suggestion is write your criticism to the Government of the day in Canberra, the more the better. Can't remain an INVISIBLE critic. nut it down in black and white and let "them" know how you feel: Right, get to it. OUR HISTORY WING DOWN THE DRAIN:

While I'm in a belligerent mood, let me hit upon another area that concerns all of us, which to my way of thinkiig is not being given the proper care it needs. Our trap shooting history, yes that's right, we have only been on this Island some 200 years, we have a fine history in the sporting arena. Had handed to me the other day a fine professional picture of one of the early trap shooting clubs. The picture a very large one showina some 32 s h o t m n e r s was taken bv a ahoto- grapher named Walker (it's signed) in 1934. Y ~ U may be amazed to learn it was found on a Sydney tip. Full marks to my friend a non shooter, who found it and handed i t to me knowing I'm interested in such things. At the time of writing I'm trying to find out with the help of some of the good-old shots, just where it was taken and who the men in it happen to be, I know one of the men is Luke Hughes, who worked for I.C.I. which became I.M.I. then Eley. The late Newton Thomas took over Luke Hughes's job when he retired. Before you throw away m y of our past history. . .just remember it's real value is beyond price. THE END OF AN AGE: LN GREAT BIG STEPS:

This scribe, a long time member, of what the Sydney Press has termed, "THE ALMIGHTY GUN LOBBY" whatever that's supposed to mean, has fought with a handful of dedicated men, over the past fifteen years or so, every time a Govern- ment has tried to introduce legislation to restrict your rights as a shooter. It's cost thousands upon thousands of dollars from the pockets of us all. Until now we have managed to ensure that safe keeping of your individual rights. Many shooters, and I guess non shooters have seen T.V. interviews also on this subject. Now it would appear State by SMe the changes are slowly taking place. In effect the shooters in these states have lost their basic rights. For Victorian's their

SHOOTIlWG SHORTS Cont'd fron page 6 Labour Government, not more than six months old has eroded the rights of Victorian shooters, even as 1982 comes to a close.

Don't try and sell this writer on these Labour ideals, as I'm opposed to what they stand for. No, not on what you may say the principles of the thing, or because it's come to pass after all the fighting I have seen many good men put up to try and stop it. No for none of these valid reasons, but simply because it will not work.: Yes, Mr Jim Kennon M.L.C.. I have read your draft, (see copy A.C.T.S.N. - page 20 November, 1982). It comes back to what I've said over these past 15 years, on this very subject. Even if it's too late for the shooters of Victoria: I will spell it out again. "All the licences, aIZ the restrictions, all the Legislation in Australfa wiil not prevent the miss use of anything; Be it firearms, Drinking, Flying or Dancing nude in the street, whatever you wish to nominate. It's just a plain waste of gwd money. We already have a fine JUDICIAL system, that's as old as when they planted the first flag in the sands of Botany Bay. The COURTS OF' OUR LAND, that's the place to handle the law breakers of this country. A country already top heavy with over legislation, reforms and attacks on our rights and freedoms. The Labour Government Propaganda Merchants have taken a march on the shooters of Victoria, and stole another of your basic rights. I t is a sad and sorry day for SHOOTING. I KNOW IT'S EASY TO BE A CRITIC

One great bard once pointed this out to me long ago, and I always try and remember his good words of advice every time I feel the need to take someone or something to task, and I would like to quote them here if if may. "It's not the critic who counts, or has the strong man stumble and fall or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the MAN who is actually in the arena, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotion, and spends himself in worthy cause. If he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that he will NEVER BE ON73 OF THOSE COLD AND TIMID SOULS WHO KNOWS NEIGH VTCTOR NOR DEFEAT".

The message here my shooting friends, is plain and simple. Get into the ARENA, and with ENTHUSIASM, have a go. THE TINIE IS RIPE:

IT'S not news, and we all know Australia, in effect is about 25 years behind the rest of the world, (give or take a foot or two) but that should not mean we intend to stay in that position. The American trap Shooting Association has just started what they call "A HAIL OF FAME" to honour the past shooters and their history. To pay for this very important contribution, they are running at clubs across the nation all manner of events, auctions etc., to raise the money needed to establish this historic tribute and educational facility for future generations of trap shooters, who will have the opportunity, (thanks to far sighted men of today), to be able to look back, with pride at their heritage. What about it shwters of Australia.,.??? can I hear any support for such a fine gesture for this country:

Lets make 1983 a very good year to remember. The year more gunners bid for a similar establiehement in this country. My money would be on the A.C.T. (Canberra) which is the obvious choice, being the home of Australia's power makers. Looking forward to hearing from all the ENTHU- SIASTIC members within our great ARENA: Good shooting, see you next month. BY ROGER DARWON: P.O. Box 511 Marrickville, N.S.W.

EDITOR'S MAILBOX mar Ian,

Re: National Ground On z June, 1965 I wrote to "News" recommending that the

ACTA purchase a National Ground adjacent to Canberra ACT. During the ensuing years this has been debated and we are

no closer to a decision now than we were in 1965. To construct a suitable clubhouse, install traps and equip-

ment, purchase or lease a ground would cost a bare minimum of $600,000 to $750,000. We have approximately $130,000 so the interest alone on the balance would be $70,000 to $93,000 per year. These are approximate estimates but it is perfectly obvious that a National Ground is completely out of reach of our orgasisation.

I feel that the National Exeoutive should advise aJl shooters via "The News" that "we are not in a position to go ahead with a ground" or "we are going to build a ground in NSW or . - ~ i i t o r i a or whatever".

-

Some delegates of the NSW CTA have been investigatiig several avenues re a State ground but are hesitant to commence any definite arrangements until the National Ground location is known.

I personally feel that the ACTA should encourage State Associations to develop Skate grounds that can he used for Nationals on a rotating basis as at present - this is most acceptable to a large number of shooters and we can only do this when the National Executive make a decision instead of a l l this "guff" we are currently being fed.

What about a bit of honest decision making and open contact with the members who make up this Association.

BAILLEE FARM FIELD CHAMPIONSHIP 1982

Sfation seven at Baillee Farm, a real test.

About 130 shooters attended the '82 Bailee Farm Shoot, enjoying wonderful weather and typical W.A. hospitality.

They came from near and far. W f f Salmon. Winchester Sales Promotion and advertising manager from Geelong, had been in Perth on business and stayed on for the weekend's shooting. Merv Neve and the family rolled in from Kalgoorlie and many shooters *om Geraldton, Bunbury and other parts of Western Australia.

Such is the relaxed atmosphere at this shoot, that good scores or b d , all shooters enjoy themselves.

This event is held annually on the very picturesque hills property of Bruce and Pam Smart, overlooking the beautiful Avon Valley, some 12 kms from North-. The seven stations that comprise the course offer extremely difficult targets, and marvellous views of the VaUey.

The early stations were the undoing of many shooters, such was the difficulty of the targets. Station one looked simple enough, but claimed many. The target crossed from right to left, was shot at well below the level of the feet and was also moving away from the shooter as it crossed.

Station two provided a target crossing swiftly from left to right, and one high from behind which floated out over the valley.

Other stations had targets of varying degrees of difficulty, colour, speed and angle. Station seven was interesting in that the trap was set on a, hiU that appeared to be a great distance away across the valley. The target was in the air for four or five seconds before coming into range, but then had to be shot before if dipped into a tree, or if it missed the tree, dived behind the side of the hill. To a non shooter it looked a most interesting and demanding course.

First overall was Ted Rose, beating David Kevill in a shoot-off. Both had scored 851100, which indicates the difficulty of the targets at BWee Farm.

A record was created this year when Colin Hinkley from Narrogin became the first shooter in the history of the event to shoot a clear round of 25 targets. This was a fine effort, well done Collin.

"With both eyes open," Ted Rose winner Baillee Farm Championship.

Colin Hinkley winner of Day 2, and first person to shoot a possible 25 at Baillee Farm.

The President and Committee men of the Northam Club are to be congratulated on the success of this shoot. It is no small task to get the site ready for such an event, many people worked extremely hard before, during, and after, to ensure an enjoyable weekend for all. The ladies as usual made sure that the inner man was well fed.

Some hilarity followed the leaving of one visitor on the hill on the Saturday night. His host for the weekend had driven back to Northam, not knowing that the visitor was well entrenched with the brothers Hopkiis and Laurie Reynolds from Cunderdin, keeping thecool evening an- at bay with cans of "Gold".

MEW SOUTH WALES CLAY TARGET ASSOCIATION

OCTOBER BULLETIN Firstly this month I would like to thank the Clubs who have

forwarded typed or neatly printed programmes for the 1983 Blue Book; your efforts have been much appreciated. CLUBS CHANGING SHOOTING DATES

There have been reports and also evidence of clubs making date changes from those approved by the N.S.W.C.T.A. and printed in the 1982 Blue Bmk, without first consulting the State Association.

Clubs who make these changes without first consulting the State Association are consequently clashing with neighbour- ing clubs and causing ill feeling all round.

Please Club Committees consider your fellow clubs nearby. because in the long term you do more damage to yourselves than the club that you decide to WALK OVER for a days shooting.

On page 3 of the 1982 Programme Book under the heading "Club Secretaries Please Note" all the rules governing programme changes are clearly stated. STATE 8G ZONE G'SflOtP BADGES

For those who may have missed Iast months Bulletin: the State Association has a supply of State and Zone C'ship badges for sale for the price of $3.50 each.

State C'ship badges are r m a p of N.S.W. (gold plated) and the Zone C'ship badge is a silver plated circle. Both have the States badge attached. STATE PRESIDENTS & SECRETARIES MEETING

A meeting of all State Presidents and Secretaries was held on 4th September, in Melbourne to exchange ideas and hopefully solutions to problems.

One very important point made, was the need for Clubs, Zones & State Association to try and work together to promote and improve the sport of Clay Target Shooting.

It was also stressed that ideas from clubs and registered shooters to be taken via their Zone to the State and from there to the National body.

As reported in the October C.T.S.N. an Administration Manual is now being drawn up for use by Clubs, Zones & State Associations. I feel this will be a great asset to all club secretaries and committees; especially for those who find themselves dropped in the deep end, which so often happens.

TRADE PRACTICES ACT The attention of advertisers is drawn to the Trade Practices

Act 1974 and the provisions in the Act which apply to advertising. It is not possible for the A.C.T.A. to ensure that advertisements which are published in this magazine comply

, in all respects with the Act and the responsibility must therefore be on the person, company or advetlising agency

, submitting the advertisment for publication. The A.C.T.A. and Waterwheel Press reserve the right to refuse any advertise- ment without stating the reason.

COACHING DAY On Sunday October 24th a most instructive and practical

day was conducted by the South West Zone Coach Harry Brooksby.

An attending fifty five junior and novice shooters were first instructed in the safe and proper methods of gun handling. Films of interest to all were then shown.

Moving on to the tracks for the practical side, where Harry instructed each on how to break targets and after a few shots most were sucessful. Many thanks Harry for a very good day, on which over five

hundred targets were thrown. Badges were presented to the top five junior shooters.

Marlene Jatvis being congratulated on her weekends performance by Gemfields President, Charlie Edwards.

What makes a good shoot? Whatever it is the Queensland central zone certainly had an abmt%nce of it at their 1982 trap carnival at Gemfields.

Beautiful weather, a hot breakfast berved on the grounds and an impressive array of trophies gave shooters their initial incentive to get out there and keep their heads down. From there the comradship of central Queensland members, the keen competition and the efficiency of the organisers took over to make this one of the most enjoyable carnivals the zone has yet experienced.

After only twelve months on their new location, the Gemfields Gun Club proved an ideal venue for the carnival with powered van and tent sites, a central location, their social committee providing three meals a day on the grounds and, of course, ideal trap layouts.

A commendable trophy array was boosted by donations from Rockhampton, Gemfields, Gladstone, Barcaldine and Eton-Mackay Gun Clubs, Nioa Arms of Giadstone, Col Ennis of Dysart, Laurie Tselepy of Yeppoon, Port Curtis Yamaha and J. F. Thompson Pty Ltd.

A first for the zone was the introduction of a ladies trap team selection with the successful ladies being Marlene Jarvis, Tamb, Vere Storch, Tallawalla; Chris Young, Glad- stone; Noeleen Herbert, Gladstone; Vicki Deeley, Gemfields; and I m e Cross, Gemfields. Congratulatons to those ladies and'thank you to Nioa Arms who donated the badges.

The Open Zone Trap Team selection was, as expected, keenly contested with Tom Jarvis of Tambo and Bi Chandler fmm Barcaldine the highest qualifiers with 147/150 followed closely by Arthur Atcheson, Rookhampton; Noel Deeley,

Gemfields; Bill Nioa, Gladstone; and Brian Herbert. Glad- stone.

Another highlight of the weekend was focussed on Bill Chandler who rounded off an extremely successful weekend of shooting by taking out the highly covetted 'Laurie Tselepy Perpetual Trophy'. Bill top scored over three championships and the interzone trap teams postal match to win this award. Congratulations Bill and thank you Laurie Tselepy.

Special congratulations also go to that most consistent shot, the high-gun winner, Tommy Jarvis. The Jarvis husband and wife team made it quite a weekend with both achieving top qualifying positions on representative teams.

CENTRAL QUEENSZAND SKEET The Central Queendand Zone has taken the initiative in

Queenslaad with its first ever Annual Zone Skeet Carnival. The Carnival shot in Rockhampton in October, attracted

most of the zones skeet fraternity and proved to be quite a successful forerunner for bigger and better zone carnivals in the future.

The zone skeet team, selected over two fifty target championship events, recorded a acore for Queensland Interzone Postal Teams Match in the hope that other zones in the state will take up the challenge and respond with a score from representative teams in their zones.

Six clubs from within the zone m d one from the northern zone were represented by shooters showing a great deal of consistency and stamina through the 175 target programme. High temperatures, mainly climatical, proved an extra obsta- cle when Rockhampton temperatures on Sunday reached an uncomfortable 37 degrees.

Zone president, Jim Elliot, speaking at the presentation ceremony, commended the host club members and zone organisers for their efforts in the preparation and running of the carnival.

TRAP SHOOTING RULES. Any reference in these rules pertaining to "him" will also mean "her"

%P LAYOUT 1. (a) A standard trap layout shall consist of five firing points

arranged on the arc of a circle of radius 16 metres and whose centre is the trap, firing points to be 3 metres apart,

, numbered 1 - 5 from left to right when viewed from the firing points and facing the trap, with No. 3 firing point directly behind the trap.

(b) A horizontal line joining No. 3 firing point and the trap and prolonged indefinitely will be known as the "Centre Line".

FIRING POINTS FOR HANDICAPS. 2. (a) These firing points are situated at intervals of 1 metre from

11 to 25 metres behind the trap on lines from the trap extended through the firing points for standard trap layout. These firing points may be referred to as "Handicap Marks" and each line of firing points shall be known as a shooting lane.

(b) The 11 metre mark is to be measured from the top centre pivot point of the trap.

3. This collection of firing points and shooting Lanes, forming a fanshaped pattern, shall be known as the "Shooting Tracks" and on each lane distances should be clearly marked to signify the fonvard limit of each firing point.

SHOOTING SQUARE. 4. (a) When firing the competitor's feet must be'behind any line

indicating the firing mark assigned to him, must stand with both feet completely within 1 metre square; this square shall extend 50 centimetres either side of the centre of the shooting lane and shall extend backwards 1 metre from the assigned handicap mark.

STANDARD TRAP LAYOUT AND HANDICAP MARKS

ALL LANES AS FOR LANE 2 (b) However, provided his front foot is as close as possible to the

fonvard edge of a shooting square a shooter with a wide stance wiB not be penalised if his back foot extends beyond the rear edge of the shooting square.

TRAP HOUSES 5. Trap houses shall be used to give full protection to the trappers.

These houses shall be 1 metre high in front, tapering or sloping to 85 centimetres at the back, nnd shall be 2 metres from back to front, 2.5 metres wide. A tolerance of 10 centimetres either way is permissible on these dimensions. All height measurements

shall be taken from the level of the centre lane. The trap shall be mounted in a manner which will bring the top centre pivot point of the throwing arm 35 centimetres above the level of the centre lane and 1.5 metres from inside back of traphouse and 30.480 centimetres left of centre. A tolerance of 5 centimetres either side of this dimension is permissible.

LEGAL TARGETS. 6. (a) Targets, to be legal, whether single or doubles, shall be

thrown out not less than 45 metres nor more than 55 metres (measured horizontally at trap level) with a flight of 3 metres above the centre lane at a point 10 metres from the trap, with a margin of tolerance of not more than 50 centimetres above or below. Except in double target shooting, the flight of targets shall be at unknown angles, thrown within an area subtending an angle at the trap of 45 degrees right and left of the centre line.

(b) As an aid in determining the legality of targets, where possible three pegs at least 1 metre high are to be placed on the arc of a circle (known as the "Distance Circle") of radius 50 metres and whose centre is the trap; one on the centre line - "The Central Peg" - and one other each 45 degrees to the right and left of centre line respectively. These two pegs will be known as the "Lateral Limit Pegs". Concrete blocks and measuring sticks for measuring target height are to be standard equipment at all clubs.

(c) Whcre practical, three minimum distance pegs shall be placed at 45 metres.

AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS-DECEMBER 1982

respectively into an area subtending an angle of 25 degrees at the trap; each area having as one boundary a line to the lateral limit peg as defined, and as its other line drawn 20 degrees to the left and the right respectively of the centre tine.

LEGAL TARGETS - DOU&&

TO BE THROWN IN SHADED AREAS

8. There is a tendency among officials to set the trap at 3.5 metres and say that they are within the permissible tolerance. This is

-not so. The trap so set has no tolerance above and has 1 metre tolerance below the 3.5 metre bar. In all cases the trap should be set to throw targets 3 metres high when 10 metres from the trap and should be altered immediately weather conditions cause clays to be thrown outside these limits. All too few clubs set their traps so that they cannot lower them to cope with an oncoming wind.

9. The provisions of rules 6 and 7 shall apply to targets released in still air. ----- If in the opinion of the Referee, a target was legal when fired upon, but war blown out of bounds or fell short of distance due to adverse weather conditions it shall still be classed as a legal target. TARGXTS.

detached by the competitor's shot, but which shows no visible diminution in size therefrom. A dusted target is not a broken target and is a "Lost target".

(b) A target, if legal when fired upon is to count even if it falls outside legal limits because of wind or some other factor.

components, and which consequently leaves part of, or all of the charge of shot or wad in the barrel. Note: A soft load, in which the shot and wad leave the barrel is not a faulty cartridge. After all misfires the referee must inspect the firearm before making his decision. (Obstruction in barrel "No Target").

BAULK. 55. (a) Any extraneous occurrence which, in the opinion of the

referee, materially interferes with the equity of the competitor after he calls for his target constitutes a baulk.

LOST TARGET. 56. Lost target shall be called when:

(a) a competitor fails to break the target. (b) the competitor fails to shoot because his gun is unloaded, or

because the safety was faultily adjusted or jarred back whether from his oversight or not, or because of any other cause chargeable to his oversight or neglect. Should this happen in a double rise event, the first target only should be declared lost and a proof pair shall be thrown to determine the result of the second shot only. However, a shot shall be fired at each target in the proof pair.

(c) the competitor has an apparent misfire or malfunction and attempts to open the gun before the referee examines it. A competitor having an apparent misfire or malfunction will forthwith call the Referee for his decision. The competitor must not turn around and must keep his gun pointed in the direction of the traphouse until the Referee has given his decision (see rule 54 (j).) If a competitor's gun breaks down and it is necessary to seek a replacement the competitor is allowed three (3) minutes to do so. If this is not possible the competitor may leave the squad and finish the remaining targets of the round at a time decided by the Referee or when a vacancy occurs.

upon, but was blown out of bounds or fell short of distance due to adverse weather conditions.

(i) an illegal target or a slow or fast released target is fired upon and missed. A competitor may refuse illegal targets, but if he shoots, the result must be scored.

(j) the cartridge is defective but no part of shot or wad remains in the barrel.

ABIDE BY RESULT. 57. Should there be a faulty cartridge, misfire or malfunction in the

first barrel, in any type of event, and the competitor fires the second barrel where this is possible, the competitor shall abide by the result and shall have no claim to a repeat target for the first barrel. Where this happens in a points scoring event and the target is broken with the second barrel the decision shall be as follows: (a) If there was no detonation of either primer or powder with

the first barrel the score shall be "3"; (b) If there was a detonation of either primer or powder with

the first barrel the score shall be "2". In both cases if the target has been missed with the second barrel the score would be lost.

segment of a circle of 19.2 metres radius, with a base chord 36.8 metres long, drawn 5.49 metres from the centre of the circle. The centre of the circle is known as the target-crossing point and is marked by a stake. Station 1 is located at the left end of the base chord, and station 7 at the right end when facing the centre while standing on the periphery of the segment. Stations 2 to 6 inclusive, are located on the periphery at points equi-distant from each other (the exact distance between stations 1 and 2, 2 and 3, etc. is 8,13 metres.) Station 8 is located at the centre of the base chord. Shooting stations 1 to 7 inclusive, are a square area, 91- centimetres on a side, with two sides parallel to a radius of the circle drawn through the station marker. Shooting station 8 is a rectangular area 91 centimetres wide by 1.83 metres long, with the long sides parallel to the base chord. The location of each shooting station shall be accurately designated by a suitable marker; not easily removable, not more than 76 centimetres high and so constructed as not to interfere with the free swing of a shooter standing on the shooting station. The marker for shooting stations 1 to 7 inclusive, is on the centre of the side nearest the target crossing point. The marker for shooting station 8 is on the centre point of the base chord:

4. A shield should be installed at the target opening of each trnphouse so that the trap operator is not visible to the shooter when he is firing from any station. This precaution is desirable as a safety factor for the protection of the trap operator from possible injury from direct or ricocheting shot.

5. One target should merge from a traphouse (called Wgh House) at a point 91 centimetres beyond Station Marker 1 (measured along the base chord extended), and 3.05 metres above the ground level. The other should emerge from a trnphouse (called Low House) s t a point 91 centimetres beyond the Station Marker 7 (measured along the base chord extended), and 76 centimetres from the base chord extended (measured on side of target crossing point), and 1 metre above the ground.

6. Suitable markers shall be placed at points 40.23 metres and 50 metres from both the high and low house measured along the flight of a regular target. The first marker shall indicate the shooting boundary limit and the second marker shall indicate the minimum distance a target shall travel in still air.

7. As a safety precaution, a safety fence should be erected running parallel with the base chord line and at least 3 metres behind No. 4 Station, extending from the High to the Low Traphouse. NO spectator to be allowed in front of this fence.

'FARGX~S. 8. Standard targets shall measure not more than 11 centimetres in

diameter, nor more than 2.85 centimetres in height, nor more than 110 grams in weight.

A legal target is one that is released instantly in response to the competitor's acceptable call, and passes "within 50 centimetres" horizontaly or vertically of a point 4.51 metres above the target crossing point. The target in still air must carry to a distance equivalent on level ground to 50 metres and not exceed 60 metres.

REGULAR DOUBLE. 10. Two legal targets released simultaneously (one from each

tmphouse). GUNS AND LOADS. 11. (a) ?he term "Magazine Gun" applies alike to automatic guns,

TEAM W A G E R S REPORT Cont'd from page 4.

It is good to know that our standing in the Australian sport hierarchy has improved greatly, but I havebeen very impressed with the number of "ordinary" people who have admitted how impressed they were by our shooters even though they knew nothing about shooting before and hadn't realised shooting could be so interesting. As well as consolidating our new status with the A.C.G.A., A.O.F. etc., let us think hard about what can be done to reinforce the impact we have had on , the general public. Xn conclusion, our team's performance is a strong justiflca-

tion for the continuation and development of National Train- ing Squad programmes and an increase in International competition. We have been able to develop our programmes to date with some assistance from the Commonwealth Govern- ment, some State Governments, the Commonwealth Games Association and the Olympic Federation. We have improved our general administration and our approach to coaching, training international coaching, limited international competition and so on. Most importantly we have used these resources wisely and demonstrated that given the opportuni- ties and the finance we can produce results and that given more finance and opportunity we can do better. 0

TASMANIAN AMATEUR SHOTGUN ASSOCIATEON

Kaye Woods

STATE CARNIVAL REPORT Fifty eight shooters attended the first day of the T.A.S.A.

State Carnival at the Tasmanian Gun Club. Although fine conditions prevailed there was a threat of rain later in the day and this along with thunder did eventuate.

The first event was the Carnival Double Rise Championship and all shooters were keen to register a win. Stuart Browning showed that he was in top form with a win in A grade with Debbie Groves taking out the C grade and this was to be the first of many wins she would record over the carnival.

The Winchester Tournament was keenly contested by a field of fifty four shooters. Two shooters recorded a perfect score with ten shooters one point down on forty nine and this led to several exciting shoot-offs. John Murphy showed why he is currently the State's top shooter in taking out the overall trophy. Junior shooter Martin Conlan displayed great form in the 11-15 metre section, outclassing more experienced shooters with a fine score of forty ninelfifty. Stuart Browning was once again in the winners circle with a perfect score in the 16-19 metre section. The Hobart Gun Club team was successful in the team event with father and son, Claude and Martin Conlan registering a score of 981100 for the combination - -

trophy. Rod Laidlaw from Winchester Australia made the presenta-

tions on behalf of his company. T.A.S.A. is grateful for his assistance and the sponsorship*frorn the Winchester company.

Day two saw an attendance of sixty five shooters all Iceen to gain selection for the State Trap Teams. The teams were selected over three events, the first of which was the Carnival S in~ l e Barrel Chapionship. Leon Gray from the Huonville Club posted the only perfect score in taking out A grade. B grade was won by Keith Woods with 29/30 and Debbie Groves continued her good form to take out C grade.

Eight shooters recorded perfect scores in the Double Barrel event and as expected this resulted in an exciting shoot-off. Keith Woods and Michael Burling shot off for B grade with John Murphy, Sperry Marshall, Gary Cooper, Kevin Viney, Alan Styles and Ian Rist a l l hoping for success in A grade. Ian Rist emerged as winner with a score of 78/78 with Keith Woods taking out B grade with 43/43. Junior shooter Layne Delphin from Rosebery shot a score of 29/30 to take home the C grade trophy.

'She final event was the Carnival Points Score Cham- pionships and with many shooters in contention for a team berth all eyes were on the score board. Sperry Marshall proved equal to the task shooting 90190 along with Brian Schott of Hobart. The shoot-off resulted in a win for Sperry. Cressy shoater Barry Whitely shot well to take out B grade with Debbie Groves rounding off a successful carnival with a win in C grade.

Sperry Marshall took out the High Gun award in the State team with Michael Burling and Nanette McCallum winning the Junior and Ladies High G.uns in their respective teams. Congratulations are extended to all team members and to all trophy winners at the Carnival. 0

EDITORS SAILBOX Dear Ian, It was with some misgivings I read that at the forthcoming

Nationals in Adelaide, shooters will be required to shoot 'Yankee style" ie. five targets per lane before moving to the next.

This will no doubt be a new experience for many shooters and I can see it causing a deal of comfusion as it did when tried at club level - thereby actually causing loss of time when I understand it is supposed to save some. If this style is to become standard would it not have been better to have voted in a rule change at the General meeting so that Clubs would have had the better part of a year to become familiar with the practice?

Might I suggest to all Clubs who have members intending to attend the Nationals that they begin now to use the five a lane system to give the said members a fair crack of the whip during our Major competition. I have always thought the nationals should be shot as per the rule book anyway - and this is certainly not presently in the book.

Further it may be well to remember that in America self loading traps are the rule generaily speaking.

If the shoot ig did become too fast for our hand fed traps I also see trap boys with a few badly bruised fingers.

This means I feel tha,t the said boys could well develop a bad case of the "flinch" which will result in them dropping the target onto the plate rather t h m placing it in position.

If so this will mean more "No Targets" and broken targets with a resulting further loss in time and not so happy shooters. Having involved in years past as a referee at the nationals and as a competitor I realise that the average shooter is only asking for a fair crack of the whip and it is in consideration of the average shooter that I wrote this letter - -

will he be petting a f a i r o ? G. W. Burnett
