DECEMBER 2011 – AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET NEWS 53 Message in a cartridge This article was recently passed onto Robert Nugent by Grant McPher- son – Rockhampton Gun Club and tells the story of Mr Bruce McPherson from the Moree Gun Club who, after fi ring his fi nal shot in an event, was surprised not only to see the target keep going but to discover that rather than lead, the cartridge had propelled a paper message from the barrel. The letter, once trans- lated, established that the message was from a young Italian girl, who unable to travel the world was anxious to have the fi nder, or rather the shooter, send her postcards and photos from their town/country. In return she offers to exchange postcards from Italy. The story was fi rst published in the Moree “North-West Champion Newpaper”, in September 1967 and even though it is a unique shooting story, was apparently not printed in the CTSN. The letters and news-paper clipping have been scanned from photocopies, the quality is not great but hopefully you will fi nd the letters and the article interesting. Above is a copy of the original message that shot from the barrel. Left, the letter to Mr McPherson from the newspaper and on the right is the published article which includes a photograph of the shooter studying the note. If you have any historic stories that you think may be of interest to other members, please pass them on to the ACTA offi ce and if suitable we will publish them in CTSN.
