Certainly recreational hunters and turns of firearms legislation to have spotted in a flash where would benefit by exposure to the formal practice of shooting theory Jim has erred. I suspect that equally as many will be sitting back at shooting clubs. with a grimace on their faces trying to figure out what really is the To me this is an issue that just went off the rails. The basic concept problem. whereby shooters have to establish their bona fides is reasonable. The problem goes back to May 1996 when the Australian Police The difficulty arises after this stage where artificial and totally Ministers Council formulated a set of recommendations that unnecessary retraints seek to limit the lawful use of the firearm would form the basis of uniform firearms legislation in all States by individuals who are “fit and proper citizens”. and Territories.

Indeed, if Jim had been shooting on his own that in order to become licensed an individual had to be a fit and property that afternoon rather than the shooting club he would proper person and would need to evidence a genuine reason why not have broken the law. they wanted to have a firearm. The “genuine reasons” were dully It is probably about time that a full, dispassionate and objective prescribed in the recommendations and have since been more or review of firearms laws was undertaken. There is now a wealth of less adhered to. There have been some variations to the theme in evidence to suggest that many aspects of firearm legislation serve States where it has suited the forces involved. no useful purpose in respect of public safety.

The main point is that firearms are not allowed for personal protection. But leaving aside the issue of personal protection, it is difficult to argue with the list because it caters for the bona fide shooter. It is somewhat difficult, however, and this is where Jim has come adrift, to follow the reasoning of the Council of Ministers when they made each on the list totally exclusive of every other reason.

April 2001 Australian Clay Target Shooting News Page 13 ALBANY CLAY TARGET CLUB (inc) 2 DAY CARNIVAL JANUARY 27TH & 28TH.

The first 2 day carnival for 2001 on the Australia Day long weekend was to be the best weather conditions for several years for this event. Clear skies, mid 20’s and only a light breeze in the afternoons made shooting a much easier proposition. Some of the best scores to come out of Albany for quite a while were achieved over the next 2 days. The grounds and machinery were in readiness for the 9 a.m. start and the targets had been set carefully across the 3 layouts for uni- formity. Several caravans and tents were set up to take advantage of the camping facilities. David Levingston, Club President made the opening speech, wel- coming shooters and visitors, then handed over to Geoff Faulkes, shoot marshal for the 2 days. Geoff was assisted by Rob Bessen. The days shooting program was explained. It was then out to the layouts for the first event, 10 DB c/d. Only 46 shooters had nominated and at the end of this event there was 25 possibles.

Bert was the eventual overall winner on 65/65, Geoff 1st AA 64/65 and Jim 2nd AA 47/48. Other places were - 1st A Wayne Kranendonk 24/25, 2nd A Ken Holman 38/40, 1st B Ken Foster 24/25, 2nd B John Griffiths 28/30, 1st C Carsten Bager 24/25, 2nd C Kevin Dickens 23/25. By this stage the evening meal had been fired up in the gas spit roast, a large pig which was donated by the Albany Club along with a beef blade roast donated by Leo’s Country Range Meats. All of the meat was from Leo, a club member who unfortunately could not attend the shoot. Thanks Leo.

There are many procedural issues covered in the rulebook which if varied cause little or no harm. However the setting of TRAP, SKEET, FIELD MODELS targets is covered precisely in the rulebook, somebody constructed a height stick of the correct length and provided a suitable place EXTRA BARRELS, ADJ STOCKS ETC. for its proper erection. To ignore this most basic of rules designed purely for equity of competition is not acceptable. The targets were NEW & USED GUNS IN STOCK not set in accordance with the rules - it is as simple as that.

I was disappointed in Adrian’s closing comments, which split Phone (03) 6331 8285 Fax (03) 6331 8281 shooters into three groups, and was fairly insulting to members of the third of these groups. Basically, his comments were as follows:

Does this mean upgrading will only I think there is a fourth group that Adrian has not considered, and take place once a year? Or do we add target shot this weekend and a large and important group at that. They do not agree with how remove targets shot last week and check grade. Anyhow, I will the targets were set, but they do not want to get rid of Adrian. close now, but as a form of protest to these proposals, I will not They are extremely thankful for the time and effort he had put shoot in the Handicap at Wagga Wagga in the Nationals 2001. into shoot marshalling in recent years, and greatly enjoy his Ron Cugley company, but wish to shoot targets set in accordance with the rules. They have noticed the difference in atmosphere and how nothing is too much trouble for Adrian if he can help a shooter, but they want total equity of competition. Surely there is room for both Adrian and these people (I’m one of them) in our sport. The point raised by Adrian that the use of CVRIL electronic release equipment has resulted in not one “technically legal” Echuca February target being shot at the Trap Nationals in two years is incorrect.

On January 01 2001, a number of rule changes were introduced into The January issue of the CTSN listed in full every rule that involved the ACTA rulebook. The bulk of these changes involved alterations to any changes. As this occupied four pages of the magazine and made the Skeet rules and clarification of the differences between Skeet for some pretty heavy reading, I guess a lot of people just skipped over rules and Trap rules. The remainder involved changing the wording in it and figured they would pick it up as they went along. Unfortunately a number of sections to legalize the use of phono-pull equipment for this method of acquisition has resulted in quite a lot of confusion in a Trap and Skeet shooting. couple of areas and, as president of the Skeet Shooters Association, I have received several requests to provide some clarification via the The ACTA Rules Committee printed a summary of these proposed magazine. changes in the September 2000 issue of the CTSN. This was done for the purpose of giving advance warning of the intention to make The first main area of confusion seems to involve the matter of where various rules alterations and inviting public comment, either for or the waiting shooters should stand, whilst awaiting their turn to shoot against the changes. The Rules Committee then advertised and con- either of the targets on station eight. Unlike the specifically desig- vened an open meeting at the Skeet Nationals in November to discuss nated positions for the referee, the positioning of the other four shoot- the proposed changes with the majority of the people who would be ers, whilst not actually shooting, is a bit of a grey area. Neither the most affected by them. NSSA rulebook or the current ACTA rulebook stipulate any mandatory placement for these people during this time. The ACTA rule book At the conclusion of that meeting, a vote was taken from those people makes no mention of it at all, and the only relevant reference to it in interested enough to attend, as to whether or not to go ahead with the the NSSA rulebook is a suggestion under section 1E which states " It rule changes, and if so, the most appropriate date of implementation. is recommended for courtesy to team members that The decision to proceed with the changes was passed almost unani- shooters……should stand a minimum of six feet behind the shooter mously, and after considerable discussion, a suggestion to wait until while waiting to shoot". 2002 to introduce the changes with some proposed trap rule changes was rejected. A motion asking the Rules Committee to fast track the I have never seen this recommendation enforced in NSSA shooting, or changes for 2001 was then also passed almost unanimously. even seen anyone ask for it to be observed. I suspect that, like their one second pulling rule, it has become redundant and is just waiting to be culled at a prudent time. I believe this because, as a general rule, most NSSA shooters line up "Indian file" behind the person shooting, usually quite closely, on all stations including station eight. There are a number of good reasons for doing this.

They include the ability to closely observe the flight of the targets before it is your turn to shoot. The ability to mentally visualize your own shot from a relevant vantage point prior to actually shooting it. The ability to provide encouragement and motivation to the person shooting. The ability to provide constructive criticism and learned assessment in the event of a bad shot or a miss by another shooter. However the major overriding motivation for this procedure is undoubtedly expediency, as it is considered a very serious breach of etiquette for the squad not to complete their 100 targets comfortably within the allocated time of ninety minutes.

Most Australian Skeet shooters who have attended the World Skeet Championships or other NSSA shoots have picked up on this procedure and adopted the same system for their own shooting. In turn, most other Australian Skeet shooters have observed this practice, and assumed that this is the best way to do it, or the only way to do it, or the way the rulebook indicates that it should be done, when actually this is not the case at all. The practice of lining up Indian file is simply an allowable procedure, not an actual rule. And even though there are numerous good reasons for doing it this way, there is also a down side to doing it on station eight and to some degree on stations one and seven also.

The disadvantage is that there are a number of circumstances which can result in the waiting shooters being showered with pieces of target, causing harm to themselves and/or their equipment. There are a number of causes for this occurrence. These can be contributed to by the person shooting having insufficient choke, or shooting incorrectly or poorly, by the people waiting daydreaming or being distracted, instead of watching and paying attention, and even by the weather if the wind is blowing in from the front of the field.

There are a number of reasons why this problem is rarely encountered in NSSA shooting and yet has quickly become an issue here. These include the produced effects of selective squadding, averages shooting, pre-set flight times and a different attitude towards shooting lessons. Thus, in NSSA shooting you generally encounter squads of people who NSSA standard procedure for lining up on station eight (top) and shoot together all the time and therefore have a vested interest in stations one and seven (bottom) each other’s performance. They have generally all taken shooting

Page 24 Australian Clay Target Shooting News April 2001 They do this because they do not see the potential safety issue that we perceive in this country. This difference in perception is caused by most of the same reasons outlined in the positioning issue above.

However, when we were drafting the amendments required to realign our ACTA Skeet rules with NSSA rules, that very point was debated at great length. It was eventually decided that as we take occupational health and safety issues much more seriously in this country, and as there is a much greater likelihood of people shooting technically incorrectly for several reasons, the most prudent course of action would be to "take 50c each way". Thus the NSSA Skeet round procedure was transposed directly into our rulebook, but at the end of section 1.24g, which details the procedure on station seven, the following amendment was added. "However, when shooting the single targets, only one shell at a time should be loaded. It is recommended that a sign to this effect be erected on the side of the low house".

After a great deal more soul-searching, it was decided that, as the option of single or double loading on stations one to six is not clearly spelt out in the NSSA rulebook, and as we also wished to discourage the practice of double loading for low eight, we would add an extra section to rule 1.24 for that very purpose. That section is part (L) and it states: "On stations 1 to 6 two cartridges may be loaded to shoot single targets, but on stations 7 and 8 only one shell may be loaded for singles".

It was hoped that by doing it this way, any ACTA shooters competing in NSSA events would not be disadvantaged, as our procedure is allowable under their rules. And conversely, by adding a "home rule" that does not include a mandatory penalty, and thus allows the option of directives and warnings from the referee, any NSSA shooters competing in ACTA Skeet events could be guided into our unique system without undue stress, or any setbacks in international relations.

Some people are still saying, "Why change the Skeet rules?" Without meaning to be too facetious, my answer is always "I could not agree Alternate approved procedure for lining up on station eight (top) and stations one and seven (bottom). more!" If we do not change the rules of Golf and play "Australian Golf" in this country, or change the rules of Tennis and play "Australian lessons and thus shoot similarly and correctly, and use an adequate Tennis" here, then why change the rules of Skeet and shoot "Aus- amount of choke. Annually published averages keeps them focussed tralian Skeet" either. The rules amendments that were adopted at the on performance at all times, and the need to get finished on time elim- start of this year were not designed to change the rules, but instead to inates the possibility of any daydreaming or distraction. reinstate them. The actual "rule changes as such" had already been progressively However, most of these criteria do not generally exist in ACTA Skeet made over the past twenty years, culminating in mismatched set of shooting. Therefore I believe that it would be a good idea if we were to "home rules" which disadvantaged us in the international arena. If discourage the practice of people lining up Indian file on stations one, Australian shooting administrators firmly believed that Skeet could seven and eight, except in those cases where all the people involved be improved by changing the rules, then the correct procedure would realize the risks involved and agree to accepting the potential conse- be to present a suitable submission to the NSSA for consideration. quences. In all other cases, I believe we should encourage the practice And until such time as the ACTA unilaterally changes the ISSF rules of having people observe the NSSA recommendation that people line and shoots "Australian Trench" in this country, most Australian Skeet up behind the referee whilst waiting their turn to shoot on these three shooters will continue to share that view.And consider this.
