Closing date for advertising and editorial in Clay Target

August 2019 is July 5

2 Clay Target – July 2019

President’s NotesSkeet NationalsThe Skeet Nationals was another great event with the National Ground in first class condition. Apart from one day of misty rain the weather was glorious and

enjoyed by all. Record scores were the order of the day. Congratulations go to Glenn Clarke for his overall High Gun win. I believe the Skeet Hall of Fame dinner with 125 guests was the largest attendance at a Skeet dinner yet. We saw David O’Sullivan inducted on the night and the Adrian Cousens medal was taken out by Jack Stockdale.

It was great to see former Commonwealth Games Champion Ian Hale in attendance supported by both the club Secretary, Jane Vella and a large contingent of Frankston members. More details in the Shoot and Hall of Fame reports.

Chief Executive OfficerThe Chief Executive Officer, Mr Paul McLoughlin tendered his resignation on the 31st May 2019, due to personal reasons. I travelled to Wagga Wagga and met with Vice President Mal Dyson and Paul and accepted his resignation effective immediately on the 6th June. The Executive wishes Paul well in the future.

We then met with the office and ground staff and have organised them to “hold the fort” until a replacement can be found.

World ICTSF SportingVice-President Mal Dyson will be representing ACTA at the General Assembly of the ICTSF in Ireland in July. Agenda items include the venue for the 2022 ICTSF World DTL Championships and South Africa has expressed an interest in hosting this event. Many ACTA members have travelled to South Africa in the past for both this and the Sporting event and if successful their bid would be welcomed by Australia.

Ireland has expressed an interest in hosting the 2024 event. There are no expressions of interest as yet for the 2021 ICTSF World ESP.

New Zealand has proposed lifting the Veterans age to 60 and Super Veterans to 70 for all ICTSF events. I believe this would be supported by ACTA as the 55 age for Veterans is too low.

Mal will also be managing our Sporting Team whilst in Ireland, and congratulations to them for being selected to represent their country.

Executive MeetingYour Executive will be meeting at the end of August. We have had a great deal of difficulty in settling on a date that would suit the majority of the Executive. Peoples’ lives are all getting busier and along with business and work commitments it is proving impossible to get a full attendance. At this stage only one member may not be

present and we will try to link him electronically. States now need to consider agenda items they may wish to have considered and advise both the ACTA and their delegates.

Staff ReviewThis process is continuing with three staff accepting new positions and some still in negotiation. Jenny Robinson has chosen not to apply for a new position and has resigned from the ACTA after 7 years. Our thanks go to Jenny for her commitment during her time with the Association. A new position of Media Officer has been created and interviews conducted. Two suitable applicants have been identified. These have been advised and will be considered during the August Executive meeting (due to no CEO). Those that followed the basic social media posts from the Trap and Skeet Nationals would understand how big a deal having a specialist in this and the mainstream media fields will be for the Association.

Rules Supervisor’s MeetingI have been amazed that approximately 40 briefing papers covering all sorts of issues have been submitted for consideration. This will be a very busy meeting for those in attendance. The ACTA is sharing attendee’s costs equally with States.

Food For ThoughtThe National Ground, like many of the larger facilities is now a great venue. Attractive surrounds, the best target throwing equipment, excellent catering and relaxation areas etc.

Paid trappers, cleaners and ground staff help make the events conducted there an enjoyable experience for our members who have to do minimal work whilst in attendance.

However all this comes at a cost. Historically the greater membership, most of whom are not in attendance at the major events, by paying their annual ACTA subscription “prop up” the cost of providing the facilities and services we have all come to take a bit for granted, expect and demand for our National events. Costs to maintain and run such a large ground are measured in 100’s of 1000’s of dollars annually and have never, can never, and will never be recovered from those alone nominating for National events, approximately 800 in total in any given year. (Calculated as 500 Trap, 180 Skeet, 120 Sporting)

Another related large cost covered by subscriptions is the support of teams that are selected at Nationals to travel annually. The support given to team members travelling overseas on behalf of the ACTA is now better than it has ever been and envied by other Associations and countries.

Clubs should consider that their actions in not signing up members with the ACTA is jeopardising all we have worked

There will be no CEO report this month due to the resignation of Paul McLoughlin.On June 7th the ACTA posted the following notice on the ACTA website for the information of members:“ACTA Executive wish to inform members that due to personal reasons the CEO Paul McLoughlin has resigned from the position. The ACTA wishes to thank Paul for his time with the Association and wish him well for the future.”Clay TargetAs at the 1st January the ACTA magazine “Clay Target”, after being printed for some seventy-two years, became a digital only publication. This was made necessary because of the enormous cost involved, not so much in the production and printing but essentially in the postage costs associated with distribution to members. Generally the digital publication has been well received, with many very favorable comments, along with other not so favorable opinions. Members and clubs have greatly benefited in the digital publication, which has consequently seen a reduction of annual membership registration fees because of cost reductions and reduced advertising rates for club advertising. The new rates for Member Clubs to advertise in “Clay Target”, which came into effect as of the April issue are as follows: full page $327, half page $192, quarter page $140 and eighth page $99. This represents great advertising value to member clubs who are also receiving the benefit of interactivity between their advertisements and any website that they may reference.The magazine is now sent out to a far greater number of members, as all membership categories are included in the mail-out. Copies printed and mailed out averaged around 9500 to 10,000 per issue, but we estimate that between 10 to 20 percent or even more were never taken out of their plastic wrapper. With the email distribution the number distributed last month was 13,637 with only 30 emails bouncing back as having uncontactable email addresses. Anyone still not receiving the emailed magazine may be one of these unknown addresses. These people should firstly check their personal data at “MyPage” on the ACTA website or contact the ACTA office who will be able to sort the problem out.Another benefit afforded by the digital publication is that there is no longer a limit to page extent. When printed the magazine postage weight dictated that we were only able to produce 64 pages of text plus covers. Today without page limits we can have bigger issues with not only larger but more photos. Rules Supervisors Meeting The response for briefing papers from Rules Supervisors and States has been overwhelming with over 40 papers presented listing a variety of possible rule changes to be discussed.The submission cut-off date was June 14 and we are now in the process of preparing the meeting agenda. All State Associations will be represented by both their Rules Supervisors and Handicappers.The new Rule Book is now expected to be available on the 1st January 2020.

ACTA Reportso hard for over so many decades. The travelling members, the achievers, from clubs, that do attend Nationals and make representative teams and put their club and the sport on show need to be supported by club committees recognising these events cannot survive and continue as they are, on nominations alone.

Membership of the ACTA must be promoted and insisted on by all clubs for all their shooting members not only in the spirit of being part of an Association but also because it is a binding affiliation requirement.

SponsorsWith many changes in the firearms and ammunition industry of late it is not surprising that sponsorship generally is getting harder to source from within the firearms related industries.

Therefore it was a pleasant surprise to see the level of sponsorship at the Skeet Nationals, particularly from Bronze Wing Ammunition, providing $2000 for the Skeet High Gun on top of other existing sponsorship. Thanks to all the event sponsors and especially to Anna, Len, Deb, and of course Marcello from Bronze Wing.

ACTA SportingThe decision was made to take the Sporting event to West Australia this year. We understand the WA Association has left no stone unturned to make this event successful. Many complain when any event is taken away from the National Grounds but let’s be fair here. It is the same distance from Wagga Wagga to Perth as it is from Perth to Wagga Wagga and West Australians have to travel this distance 9 out of every 10 years. I think sometimes we lose the plot a bit. Associations are formed to achieve common goals, and make services available and be fair to ALL members. There is also the matter of equity involved when those who are on home ground at Wagga Wagga continually are pressed when they don’t have the home ground advantage. I wish the West Australian organisers the very best for the event and encourage as many shooters from wherever they may be to attend.

Constitutional ReviewThe Sub-Committee chaired by Mal Dyson met at the skeet and has agreed a few starting points for the review.

• Proposed timeframe is for adoption at the 2021 AGM.• Proposed entity type – Company Limited by Guarantee. • Proposed Governance method – Independent Board.Major Considerations – • Broad base to choose Board nominees from.• Ease of joining the ACTA.

Action – Committee to recommend to the Executive to co-opt a person with a legal background. The Committee will meet again at the Executive meetings in August.

I thank the volunteer committee members for freely giving their time for this meeting.

Until next month.

Blake Nankervis, 2019 VCTA 5 Stand Sporting Clays Overall Champion

2019 Victorian State 5 Stand Sporting Championship

STATE CHAMPIONSHIP Maryborough Gun Club

For most of the Saturday before the Championship, a dedicated group of Maryborough members set up three 5 Stand Sporting grounds and it was a little disappointing for the Club when the shoot attendance was nowhere near that anticipated. However the event was made quite special by competitors and spectators being able to witness some of Australia’s best sporting shooters in action, producing some great scores over the three challenging grounds.Thirty-five targets were shot on layout one, thirty on the second layout and then a further thirty-five on layout three to make up the 100 target event. Using this format, as in the past, the event ran through quickly and smoothly and the shoot including presentations finished early with plenty of daylight remaining for shooters to get home.

The Club would also like to take this opportunity to express our thanks to our Club ladies, Lorraine, Christine and Judy who maintained the canteen to the same high standard that shooters have become accustomed too.

The 2019 National Skeet Championships commenced on Sunday 19th May, and Skeet shooters from across Australia were greeted by bright sunshine and warm Wagga Wagga weather. The ACTA should be commended on impeccably maintained and prepared National grounds. Anticipation was high across the grades for a cracking week of skeet shooting! New records were shot, many friendships rekindled and lots of competitive spirit was felt across the ground. The Skeet shooters enjoyed the hospitality and facilities of the new Range Clubhouse and all of the behind the scenes work done by

the ACTA assisted by the ASSA made sure the shoot ran to a great cadence. The smiles on the faces of the shooters was priceless as the great weather and perfect skeet targets ensured a high standard of shooting and multiple possibles every day.

international home base to be at our dinner. Please see a separate article about Ian contained in this edition of the CT.

Ian Hale and Adrian Cousens both shot over 400 breaks at the 1984 Skeet Nationals at Melbourne Gun Club, Adrian shooting a 446 only to have

it broken approximately 2 hours later by Ian shooting at 487.

Fast forward to 2017 and Michael Buttigieg and David O’Sullivan also shot 400+ breaks with Michael going on to set an Australian 12 gauge long run of 783. It was a marvelous sight to have all 4 of these immensely talented shooters on the stage at the same time. The Masters Award were presented by Mal Dyson from the ACTA.

The last award of the evening was the Master’s Award for Skeet Doubles this was won by Michael Buttigieg of Victoria with a 225 break.

2019 Skeet Hall of Fame Inductee David O’SullivanDavid O’Sullivan first started rabbit shooting on a friend’s property and graduated to clay target shooting by joining the Frankston Gun Club in 1997. His mother would bring David to the club after cricket training and often he would be seen still wearing his cricket whites on the skeet field! David and his father John O’Sullivan struck up a conversation with a very nice club member one day whilst David was practicing, this kind gentlemen turned out to be Adrian Cousens! Adrian kindly took David under his wing and many weekends were spent up at the Bairnsdale gun club practicing under Adrian’s watchful eye. David’s big break happening in 2000 when the ACTA decided to fund

David O'Sullivan 2019 Hall of Fame Inductee

a junior team to the Skeet World Championships in San Antonio Texas. David shot extremely well at the world championship even shooting several 100 straights which bode well for the future.

Back in Australia and David was keenly following the major skeet shoots and very early success with National runner-up in the 20 gauge in 2000 and 2002 and Skeet Doubles events in 2001. David really gained international notoriety in New Zealand in 2011 where he shot off against Tod Bender, multiple world champion in the NZ 12 gauge event in cold and miserable conditions and pushed the world champion to his limits.

David’s first National title came in 2012 at the Australian Skeet Nationals where he won the Champion of Champions event, but this was eclipsed several days later when he took the Overall High Gun.

During his shooting career David has amassed 9 National titles, 10 x National runner-ups, 26 State titles, 5 Glenn Cup Trophy Teams, 4 x World teams, 8 x All Australian Teams and 460 Hall of Fame points.

David is truly deserving of his induction to the 2019 Skeet Hall of Fame.

17th – 19th May 2019Whenever visiting a State I try to get as much bang for buck for the visit. Alice Springs didn’t disappoint with 5 Alice Springs and one Ayres Rock member becoming newly accredited ACTA Club Coaches, with 10 registered club members getting coaching from the National Coaching Director and 21 try shooters (including 11 juniors and 1 lady) giving clay shooting a go under the instruction of the 6 new coaches in an attempt to build club numbers but also test out their new coaching skills.

ACTA and NTCTA Alice SpringsCoaching Clinic

Alice Springs weather threw it all at us over the weekend – Friday 30+ degrees (which is pretty good for May) but about 300% more flies than anywhere else in Australia and a dingo having a little stroll past the traps! On Saturday it bucketed down – keeping some of the members and try shooters away from the afternoon coaching sessions – but definitely a well needed drenching that even got the Todd River flowing. Sunday was warm, a little damp and a few less flies – so a gorgeous day in the Alice. The entrance road had also dried up enough to

Big thanks to the NTCTA and Brian Shearn for organising the weekend, all the coaches (Brian Shearn, Rudi Sebastiani, Merv Sweeney, Graham Randell, Rex Spencer and Doug Mines) and also Brownie for making me very welcome and to Nick for pressing buttons for a whole afternoon.

With funding assistance from the NTCTA I’ll be up in Darwin later in the year for a coaching visit.

The 2019 Skeet Nationals and the associated Hall of Fame Dinner was a perfect platform to invite Ian Hale. Ian was very humbled and graciously accepted the invitation mean- ing he would need to travel from his now home in Indonesia, to Wagga Wagga. I was fortunate to not only assist with the arran- gements for Ian’s attendance, but Ian also allocated some of his time to sit down with me and paint a picture of his colourful journey through his long involvement in the Sport of Clay Target Shooting.

Ian, a Life Member of the Frankston Australian Clay Target Club (FACTC), did not commence his participation in the sport at what would become his home Club. In fact, it was not even built as yet at its current location in Rossiter Road, Carrum Downs. Ian would attend the Cranbourne Clay Target Club and later moved to the Keysborough Clay Target Club where he received some training in Skeet from Danny Parsell.

Eventually FACTC was built with Ian taking his place as one of the original Committee Members. Ian recalled shooting many rounds of Trap on the newly built grounds, and until the skeet grounds were formed, he would shoot American and ISSF Skeet (or ISU Skeet when Ian was competing) at Melbourne Gun Club. American Skeet was eventually built on Grounds 1 and 2, ISSF Skeet on Ground 3 and from here Ian would shoot many rounds of practice with Michael Inguanti, David Cunningham and Alex Crikis (partner in the Australian Team and member of Melbourne Gun Club).

There were no coaches readily available like the Australian Team has access to today, and also with minimal domestic ISSF Skeet competition, Ian had to rely on participation in American Skeet competitions to help keep that competitive edge. It was also apparent that team funding was minimal to near non- existent therefore Ian’s international representation to events such as World Cups or World Champion- ships, was primarily at his own expense.

Ian attended his first Commonwealth Games in 1978 and went on to attend four more consecutive Games in 1982, 1986, 1990 and 1994. Ian was the first in any sport to make the team

for consecutive Commonwealth Games. The most memorable for him being 1994 in Canada, where

Ian had the honour of being the Flag Bearer for the Australian Team; an honour that no other Australian Clay Target Shooter has been bestowed to this day. Ian’s medal haul from his Commonwealth Games representation included one each of Gold, Silver and Bronze.

Ian was part of the Australian Team in three consecutive Olympic Games in 1980, 1984 and 1988, finishing in fourth place in Los Angeles in 1984. Ian broke a World Record at a German World Cup in 1986.

Clay Target Shooting to Ian is a family sport and he believes that Clubs are a very important component in the success of anyone aiming to be competitive in their chosen discipline. Clubs create opportunity for domestic competition and form the utmost important part of any Australian Team Members training regime.

Ian was very chuffed when he was presented with

his Life Membership at FACTC in the 1990’s. Ian was inducted into the VCTA Skeet Hall of Fame in 2016 and during this year’s Skeet Nationals, received his Master’s Award for shooting a 12 gauge long break of 486 in 1984.

Ian was presented with his award together with his good mate Adrian Cousens, who also was acknowledged for the same award for the same year.

At the now age of 69, Ian has well and truly stopped competing but his passion for the sport is ongoing. It was a perfect opportunity during the Skeet Nationals to introduce Ian to current ISSF Skeet competitors Keith Ferguson and Mat Costa.

Ian was only to happy to share his stories and offer some advice with one of the topics being discussed; should Keith and Mat be shooting American Skeet gun up or gun down!

In closing, I asked Ian if he had some primary words of advice and he said “I just loved competing and I really enjoyed the game. If you fault, you have no one else to blame but yourself. Enjoy what you have whether it is a win or a loss and then just focus on your next event”.

In the second weekend of April, the Burdekin Clay Target Club held their previously postponed annual carnival.

Ron Gough was the Overall winner with his score of 207/207. Joseph Rossato had to settle with first in AA Grade on 206/207 and Ray Collinson won second in AA Grade with his score of 153/156.

Cognitive Bias

by Michael Kruger-Davis

Psychological Skills for Shooting

I am writing this article in the last week of the 2019 federal election campaign. Please do not stop reading, the article is not political, but it is about the thinking and cognitive process behind making decisions.

According to Kendra Cherry, a cognitive bias is a systematic error in thinking that affects the decisions and judgments that people make.

Some biases are related to memory. When we make decisions we often rely on our memory. Most of us believe our memories to be an infallible record of the true course of events. This is a flawed assump-tion because the way that we remember an event may be biased because of a number of reasons. Other biases are related to attention. What we pay attention to in the world is affected by the focus: it can be a broad focus or it can be a very narrow focus. As a result very subtle biases can creep in a influence the way we see and think about the world.

How Do Cognitive Biases Work? Kendra Cherry in https://www.verywellmind.com defines a cognitive bias as ‘a type of error in think-ing that occurs when people are processing and interpreting information in the world around them.’ She continues by stating, the human brain is powerful but subject to limitations. Cognitive biases are often a result of your brain’s attempt to simplify information processing. They are rules of

thumb that help you make sense of the world and reach decisions with relative speed.’

We all like to think that we are logical and rational in our decision making but we often make poor decisions because we are unable to always consider the information that is available to us and these biases get in the way.Causes Kendra Cherry continues by stating that ‘if you had to think about every possible option when making a decision, it would probably take a lot of time to make even the simplest choice. Because of the sheer complexity of the world around you and the amount of information in the environment, it is necessary sometimes to rely on some mental shortcuts that allow you to act quickly.’Social pressures, individual motivations, emotions, and limits on the mind’s ability to process informa-tion as well as social media can also contribute to these biases.Not all biases are bad and in fact they allow us to make decision more quickly. This can be para-mount in life threatening situations and the ability to make quick decisions may keep you away from danger.

What are the Types of Cognitive Biases: • Confirmation Bias: This is favouring information

that conforms to your existing beliefs and dis-counting evidence that does not conform. This could be seen over and over again in the lead


up to the Federal election. Commentators would ask questions that clearly could be perceived as biased. For the shooter it may be manifested in their choice of gun or ammunition or even what gun clubs to attend. I like to use SAGA ammu-nition because of the reviews that I have read in some English shooting magazines, reinforce what I already believe, and the effectiveness by which they break clays for me. So if I had to buy ammunition I would more likely consider SAGA than another brand.

• Availability Heuristic: This is a complex way of deciding on the things that come to mind quickly.

• Halo Effect: Your overall impression of a person influences how you feel and think about his or her character. This especially applies to physical attractiveness influencing how you rate their other qualities.

• Self-Serving Bias: This is the tendency to blame external forces when bad things happen and give yourself credit when good things happen. This is actually a positive in sport. It means that you are less likely to dwell on the past and make negative judgements about yourself or your performance.

• Attentional Bias: This bias involves paying atten-tion to some things while ignoring others at the same time. When buying a new gun you may focus your attention on the brand or on some aspects rather than look at whether it will suit you or your shooting discipline.

• Actor-Observer Bias: This is the tendency to attribute your own actions to external causes while attributing other people’s behaviors to internal causes. You attribute your high cholesterol level to genetics while you consider others to have a high level due to poor diet and lack of exercise.

• Functional Fixedness: This is the tendency to see objects as only working in a particular way. If you think that you can only shoot targets at a particular range with a particular choke you may be limiting options.

• Anchoring Bias: This is the tendency to rely too heavily on the very first piece of information you learn off others by putting the first information on the table for consideration.

• Misinformation Effect: This is the tendency for post-event information to interfere with the memory of the original event. It is easy to have your memory influenced by what you hear about the event from others.

• False Consensus Effect: This is the tendency to over- estimate how much other people agree with you.

• Optimism Bias: This bias leads you to believe that you are less likely to suffer from misfortune and more likely to attain success than your peers.

These biases are actually distortions of our think-ing that have their base in memory, attention, attribution and other mental mistakes. They should not be confused with a logical fallacy where you make a mistake because there was a fundamental error in your logical argument.

So armed with information maybe you can make sense of the decisions that were made during the federal election as well as understand why we make the decisions we do.

South Australia has been debating over the past couple of years as to the viability of having a day of sub-gauge events. This year, ICTC member Tore Pipicella took it on himself to promote a day of shooting .410 and 28g just before the State Skeet titles. BronzeWing Australia decided to come to the party as well and assist with sponsorship of the events with some slabs of NSI sub-gauge shells, which were very well received. The day went extremely well with 3 squads showing up for each of the gauges. Weather conditions were overcast but calm with very little breeze. Most competitors were happy to have been given the opportunity to shoot these gauges.Eventual Overall winners were: Nathan Campbell for the .410 and Craig O’Neill took the 28 gauge. Congratulations and Well Done. Please spread the word so that we can see a few others joining us next year and making these events bigger.

With the Western Australian State Carnival being held on the weekend before, we were unfortunately down a couple of squads for our Carnival this year as a few people just couldn’t get across here quick enough.

The ones that did make it were all here vying to try their skill at claiming one of the many ‘Red’ State sashes that were on offer. Lurking around every corner and walking amongst us were some of the best Skeet shooters in Australia waiting to pounce and claim one of the available State titles.

And to this end, Friday March 8 has arrived, and again, we’ve all aged another year since we met here last at the South Australian State Skeet titles. Around the well manicured grounds, friends that hadn’t caught up for a while were seen chatting and laugh-ing and catching up on all the latest goss from their travels around this country. The atmosphere was already buzzing with a few caravanners and campers arriving to guarantee themselves a good spot and get some practice in to familiarise themselves with the grounds again before the games begin tomorrow.

The weather gods have been kind to us this year with mild to warm temperatures forecast. Practice

day went off without a hitch and everyone chilled out while they were contemplating the results of tomorrow.

As Saturday morning arrived, there was the usual scurry of activity early in the morning as the 4 layouts were being tested and corrected for speeds, angles, heights and distances. A word of thanks has to go out to the limited State Exec who also put in count-less hours in preparation to make sure everyone has a great Carnival. Thank you also to the ground staff for their trap filling and maintenance which makes the shooting experience a lot more pleasant for all our competitors.9am on the dot and the first event was called the 50 target State Skeet 20 gauge Championship. 10 squads headed out to contest the event in reasonably calm conditions with clear skies. After a good deal of huffing and puffing, only 4 com-petitors ended up shooting the perfect score and went out to see who would take the honours. In the end, the results were: C grade was taken by Janette Densley 43/50 and 2nd was will Hannah Munro. B grade went to Wally Clark 51/54 and Leonie Johnston 2nd. Lyn Schubert got the 1st in A 48/50 and Michael Raper 2nd on 49/52. AA grade 1st went to Leigh Roberts 60/60, 2nd was Ken Atkin 59/60 and the honours for Overall went to Jack Stockdale 64/64. Veteran winner was Max Oakley, Ladies went to Leonie Johnston and the Junior was Max Sammon.Squad cards were already out for the 2nd event for the day which was the 50 target State Skeet Handicap Championship. 14 squads made it out to the walks

and over the rest of the day the temperature went a little higher to 31 and the breezes became stronger. All the competitors were hoping that they would get through their 50 targets before we saw any increase in the winds. As they came off, everyone was hovering around the scoreboard to see where their positions were and if they were in with a chance. Office staff was busy counting the numbers and making up the new cards for the shoot-off’s hoping that time was not going to get away from us.

Finally when all and was said and done, we managedto get through the first day, and were ready for presentations at 5pm. The top 5 were: 5th Janette Densley 96/105, 4th Peter Kay 101/108, 3rd Rick Dalese 106/111, 2nd Jack Stockdale 117/118, and taking the Red State sash and the Overall title this year was new Junior, Michael Dalese, with a well shot 112/118. Great shooting Michael hope to see more of you.

As the day 1 drew to a close, everyone headed out to some of the local hotels and eateries for a well earned break and to get refreshed for the start of the qualifying events on the Sunday morning.8.15am on Sunday morning saw the start of the 25 target Open Zone Team Shoots with everyone vying for the winning placing and their names on the title. Central and Eastern fought it out with the eventual winners (by just 6 targets) coming in as Eastern Zone with 119/125. There is always a lot of rivalry and

sledging (in a fun way) between these 2 teams each year. Team members were Michael Raper, Kat, Steve Zadow, Cockles, Janette Densley & 6th shooter Joe Densley. Congratulations to Eastern Zone!! While the Zone shoots were in progress, people were wandering around the grounds having their bacon and egg rolls for breakfast and waiting for the call up. Shooting conditions were quite overcast with a few drops of rain falling. Smack on 9am the 15 squads were called out for the 3rd event, the 100 target State Skeet Championship. As the day went on, the usual prevailing winds came through to give a few competitors a bit of grief. Every-one persevered and the day ticked along in good time. There were only 2 perfect scores on the board so they went out to face it off. When all the shooting had gone quiet, the results were counted and the winners came in as C grade, taken by Matt Wilson 87/100, 2nd was Chris Parkin. B grade went to Andrew Norman this year 94/100

with Sim-Hee Neoh winning 2nd place. A grade was Lyn Schubert 102/108 with 2nd going to Steve Zadow. AA grade was won by Jack Stockdale 180/181 with 2nd place going to Craig O’Neill. The highest award went to Nathan Campbell taking the Red State Sash, Silver pin and perpetual trophy with the per-fect score of 181/181. Veteran winner was Kat Mules, Ladies went to Leonie Johnston and the Junior winner was Max Sammon with a well shot 95/100.

Last formality for the day was to do the presentations and announce the State Postal Teams. Once this had been done, the teams went out to shoot it off for the team positions and the team High Guns, which this year were Open an elated and emotional Tore Pipi-cella 58/58, Veterans Bob Dower 25/25, Ladies Liz Rymill 33/35, and Junior Michael Dalese 25/25.

Once this had all been done, everyone went off for a relaxing Sunday night, awaiting the last day of quali-fying on the Monday SA public holiday.

As Monday morning started to break, there was activity at the nom’s window to see if there were any squad changes for the long distance travellers, and as everyone was sorted out, the 50 target State Cham- pion of Champions got underway right on time.

8 competitors shot the perfect score and there was some friendly rivalry again around the grounds be-fore the shoot-off’s began. Final scores came in as

Chelsea McKin- non 1st in C 44/50, and Gary Coppola 2nd. B grade went to Sim-Hee Neoh 49/50 and 2nd Rick Dalese. A grade winner was Wally Clarke 55/56 and 2nd went to Locky Irons. AA 1st was Jack Stockdale 57/58, with 2nd going to Matt Rhue. Overall honours went to Steve Zadow who kept his cool and his head down to come in with 56/56. Veteran

winner was also Bob Dower, Ladies was Liz Rymill and Junior went to Max Sammon. A great effort from all these guys.

The final event of the weekend then got underway the 25 pair State Skeet Doubles Championship. 12 squads headed out to fight it out and as scores started

coming in, everyone was gathering at the scoreboard to check how they had gone toward the High Guns. Winners and scores for the Doubles were C grade went to Sue Crane 39/50 and 2nd was Chelsea McKinnon. B grade was won by Rick Dalese 48/58, with 2nd place taken by Mike Huxtable. In A grade, Lyn Schubert got the 1st place 48/50 and 2nd went to Liz Rymill. In AA, Fab Francione 52/54 got the 1st and Leigh Roberts 2nd. The honours and red State Sash for Overall went to Jack Stockdale with a 49/50. Veteran was Lyn Schubert, Ladies was Liz Rymill and Junior was again Max Sammon.

After the presentations for these 2 events the 3 day High Guns were also awarded to the highest scorers. With a 287/300 was Junior High Gun Max Sammon. What a fantastic effort from this guy considering the days conditions. The Ladies Overall went to Liz Rymill on 280/300 and the Veteran High Gun was Lyn Schubert with 286/300. The grade High Guns were C Janette Densley 255/300. B Wally Clarke 280/300. A Lyn Schubet 286/300 and AA was Leigh Roberts 294/300.

On a fine, sunny June long weekend, 1st–3rd, a total of 61 shooters competed at the 2019 Eastern Goldfield Clay Target Club’s Annual Trap Carnival.The build-up to the EGCTC Annual Trap Carnival commenced early this year with the preceding few months seeing a significant number of improve-ments to the club’s grounds, facilities and clubrooms. The flurry of activity at the club in preparation for the carnival included the installation and setup of a number of lighting poles and LED lights over the club’s grounds to cater for the night Commonwealth Points Score within this year’s carnival program. The next major task was refitting, painting and reorganis-ing the clubrooms, honours boards and score boards over a number of weekends and finally installing and painting of safety fences and layouts, and affix-ing sponsor signage which, altogether, culminated in a nicely spruced up ‘look’ to the EGCTC that was appreciated by all who attended this year’s carnival.

The two-day challenge, as the competition week-end had affectionately become to be known by those coordinating and carrying out these works would have never had happened without the donation of generous support and time by a number of local Kalgoorlie–Boulder businesses together with our supportive club members. The club sincerely appre-ciates these businesses contribution to our overall growth and success with this year’s carnival. Particu- lar mention needs to be made to Northern Star Resources, Kambalda Electrical Contracting, Brendon Penn Cranes, Lakes Electrical, Tony Free Electrical, Onsite Rental and Miles Contracting, without which the lighting may have never happened. The club-

room refit benefited from contributions and time from Goldfields Protective Coatings, Hooper Painting Services, and Miles Contracting, while the fencing materials were supplied by United Steel. Together the mercurial crew of Quinn and Kristy Marsh, Bruce Hooper, Matt Priest, Jack Saville, Murray Kamo, Tony Free, and Marty Miles installed and/or oversaw the completion of these works and for this they are to be highly commended.

This year again saw many of the dedicated Western Australian trap shooters roll into our small Kalgoorlie–Boulder club. Competitors travelled from all over WA – some from as far as Busselton and Albany – for which we are most appreciative. By and large though the Esperance Clay Target Club members made up the largest contingent and their continued support over the years is greatly appreciated. From the out-set of Friday afternoon’s pre-carnival event we had an orderly ensemble of caravans, trailers and camper vans strewn throughout the club grounds. This was aided greatly by the work also carried out the months leading up to the carnival, which included the draw-ing and installation of fixed power and water, and partitioning off sections of the carpark for caravaners. This work was completed by Quinn Marsh and Tony Free with the generous help and support of Emyjor Services, Onsite Rental and Tony Free Electrical.

Over the course of the weekend the Eastern Goldfields CTC with the help of its members and Variety WA, supplied great food, awesome cash prizes, sashes and lots of sunshine, while the visitors fostered the great camaraderie that is ever present on the clay target scene. From the outset, the competition between local members and visiting competitors was

by far the fiercest and closest it has been for a number of years. A massive thank you to all our contributing members, our volunteers; Anne Rollond, Life Member Tony Free and club member families, and all the amazing sponsors who made the 2019 carnival such a great success. The weather was perfect for the entire week-end, with competitors experiencing sunny weather throughout and brisk mornings over the Saturday Sunday meet. Everyone made the most of it.

The major events at this year carnival were the Commonwealth Night Points title and the a highly sought after Western Australia State Mixed Target title. The Commonwealth title was of particular note as they are few and far between for clay target athletes in Western Australia, and for our small Kalgoorlie–Boulder based club to host such an event was absolutely outstanding. The event was a spectacle, held on the opening Fri-day night of the weekend’s competition, with flash targets especially brought in and used for some extra show. Unfortunately, it was such a show that a few of the competitors forgot to look hard at the target in the midst of all that pink dust. Nonethe-less the flash targets simply added to the all-round excitement of the weekend events.

The Friday afternoon’s pre- carnival event set the prece-dent, with the high standard of competition that was on dis-play over the entire weekend. The pre-carnival 50 Double Barrel Championship spon-sored by Penn’s Cartage and Crane Hire saw many a bleary eyed traveller and some well established caravaners, at the tracks to get a few sighters in before the evenings night Commonwealth Points Score event. The results are as fol-lows: C grade 1st Shane Vin-cent 47/50, 2nd, Jack Saville 46/50, 3rd, Stuart Smith 45/50. In B grade 1st Bernie Mazza 48/50, 2nd David Richter 47/50,

3rd Peter Iley 45/50. In A grade 1st Glenn Rush 64/65, 2nd Mark Normington 62/65, 3rd Wally Walsh 59/61. In AA grade 1st Gary Smith 108/109, 2nd Vince O’Brien 105/106, 3rd Matthew De Paoli 81/82. The overall winner was Royce Normington with a 109/109, after a drawn out shoot off, a great shooting effort from the Kalgoorlie stalwart.

Upon night fall and with the addition of a few more new ar-rivals in the afternoon and an increase in regular club mem-bers, the targets were swapped and reset for the Night Com-monwealth Points Score Cham-pionship generously sponsored by Matlan Construction. After a welcoming speech, and a shoot and safety’briefing from our Shoot Marshal, Stefan Colagi-uri and President Matt Priest, we had 62 competitors over two layouts competing for a

Come Saturday, all were greeted to a splendid morn-ing with the Queen Bee’s Coffee Van awaiting to supply some awesomely brewed coffee. A hearty breakfast was prepared for all and things were humming along well before the usual re-squadding and final nominations for the morning were called.

What a glorious May weekend for a shoot! The sun was shining and the temperature was mild. The wind being the only obstacle weather wise, playing with the targets as they got away from the shooters.

Our annual Mallee Classic, sponsored by Syd Wil-son Auto Electrics & Jaycar Swan Hill, has once again been a great success. Our local members did a fantas-tic job getting organised and running the shoot with all hands on deck for the big day.

We had visitors from Mildura, Patchewollock, Echuca, Kerang, Cohuna, Bendigo, Maryborough, Moulamein and more and they were all excited to see the great prizes on offer once again. Drop saws, circular saws, angle grinders, weather stations, search lights, travel ovens, shells, wine, beer and much much more. A great bunch of people to have at our club.

The day consisted of a 50 target points score event & and a 50 target double barrel event, both hotly con-tested in each grade and a few shoot offs required to decide final positions.

Do You Remember This? FROM OUR CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS ARCHIVES

These archives are a valuable resource and are available via the ACTA website

These photos appeared in the ACTA May 1999 Clay Target Shooting News, 20 years ago.The top photo was featured on the cover and the caption read: Australian Glenn Trophy Team: L-R Max Barton, Guy Beddington, Scott Wright (Overall Skeet Champion), Sam Forsythe and Adrian Lucchitti

The other 2 photos are from the story titled “World Class Performance at Australasian-Pacific Grand Prix” held at the Brisbane Gun Club on the 17th February 1999.


For a number of years now schools in the Swan Hill-Kerang-Cohuna area of the North West Zone participate in an annual school clay target shoot as part of the wider Winter Sports Carnival.This year it was held again at Swan Hill Clay Target Club on Tuesday, May 7. Thirty one students from Cohuna Secondary College, Kerang Tech High, MacKillop College and Swan Hill College competed in a 20 target single barrel DTL competition.

It was a lovely sunny day but with a constant wind that made targets difficult for the experienced and less experienced shooters alike.

High Gun Ryan Archard MacKillop College 14/20; Senior Boys 1st Tom Miller 13/20 MacKillop College, 2nd Nathan Johns 12/20 MacKillop College, 3rd Matt Gillbee 11/20 MacKillop Colege; Senior Girls 1st Jana Stemmer MacKillop College; Junior Boys 1st Oscar Thornton 13/20 Swan Hill College, 2nd Thomas Dunn

CLUB NEWS Swan Hill Clay Target Club

13/20 Swan Hill College, 3rd Riley Eade Swan Hill College. This section was hotly contested and places decided by a long shoot off. Junior Girls 1st Alyssa Orlando 9/20 Swan Hill College, 2nd Sophie New-man 2/20 Swan Hill College.

The school with the highest average score is also awarded a team prize, this year it was won by Mac- Killop College with an average score of 9.2, betting Cohuna and Kerang on 9 and Swan Hill College on 7.5.

This day was made possible by the members of the Swan Hill Clay Target Clubs teachers, students and parents. Many thanks to the extra help provided by Rebecca Orlando, Michael Orlando, Geoff Manuel, Fred Siciliano, Freddie Siciliano and Bruno Rullo, from the Club.

We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to NIOA for their generous support, supplying the ammunition for the day.

Despite the wind every one enjoyed themselves and it was good to see Thomas Dunn successful despite moving between lanes aided by crutches. Thank you to Katrina Dunn for her assistance. We also had two junior boys using sub gauges to good effect, a 20g and a 28g.

The kids are all looking forward to the NWZ School Shoot in August.
