February 2009 Australian Clay Target Shooting News Page 51 Club Shoot at Kempsey CTC
Location Situated right in the heart of the Mid North Coast of NSW
Saturday 18th October was an absolutely beautiful day at Kempsey Clay Target Club. We began the shoot at 11am with shooters travelling from various clubs to compete. The first event was a 25 Target Double Barrel from 15 metres, with five squads shooting for a share of the cash. The results were as follows AA Grade B Jones, S Wallis, 25/25, P Baker, D Pasfield, G Baker 24/25, A Grade S Saul 25/25, S McMahon, J Unger, J. Webster 24/25, B Grade K Miller, J Howell 25/25, B Cameron 24/25, C Grade M Carter 22/25, P Brenton, L Langer, E. Saul 21/25. The second event was the Champion of Champions Sponsored by Denis Pearson (25t Double Barrel 15m; 25t Single Barrel 15m; 25t Point Score 15m; 10 Pr. Double Rise 15m). Denis owns and runs a very successful accounting firm based in Sydney which services clients all around NSW. Unfortunately his work commitments kept Steve Wallis Overall Ch/Ch, High Gun Kerry Millar B Grade Ch/Ch him away from this weekend and I know he was very disappointed. Denis’ sponsorship is appreciated by all competitors and especially by personally. All shooters on the day came away with a prize regard- Kempsey Clay Target club. He is a keen member of the Kempsey Clay less of where you ended up on the score board. Thank you Denis for Target Club and we are very proud to have his support. We were your continued support and we look forward to an even bigger and disappointed that Denis could not make the shoot or presentation but better event next year. The results for the Denis Pearson Champion of those who have caught up with him will undoubtedly thank him Champions were Overall Steve Wallis 137/145, AA Grade 1st D Pasfield 135/145, 2nd B Jones 134/145, A Grade 1st S. Saul 136/145, 2nd J Webster 133/145, B Grade 1st K Miller 131/145, 2nd J Gosling 140/157, C Grade 1st L Langer 130/169, 2nd P Brenton 129/169. High Gun Steve Wallis 162/170. There had to be a shoot off for second place in B Grade between Jack Gosling and Ken McWhirter, and for first and second place in C Grade between Lesley Langer and Peter Brenton. All four of us, yes I was there, went to the traps to shoot two of each discipline. 2 Double Barrel, 2 Single Barrel, 2 Point Score and 2 Double Rise. After the first round we lost Ken McWhirter to a dropped target and Jack left with 2nd place in B Grade. Well done Jack. Peter and I had to shoot again as I managed to break the same targets as Peter. We even broke both targets in the Double Rise. Unfortunately for Peter the tension mounted at the wrong time for him as he dropped a whole target in the point score and fortunately for me, I didn’t. The Double Rise targets didn’t matter as I didn’t have to break one to win. Talk about excitement and pressure all at the one time. How do those really good shooters go on for over 100 targets to win, I just can’t imagine. We had to shoot at an extra 24 targets Daryl Passfield AA Grade winner Champion of Champions to get a result, almost unheard of for C Graders. I can’t say it was

There were four up and coming Juniors competing and Billy Griffiths took out the Junior High Gun. Well done Billy. The Ladies High Gun went to Lesley Langer, yes that’s me again. It was difficult to wipe that smile off my face that evening. Lunch and afternoon tea were supplied by our wonderful ladies (Robyn Baker, Kerry Poiwick and Meg Gosling) and all shooters enjoyed the delicacies on offer. Thanks ladies. Jenny and Lesley Baker worked all afternoon keeping tabs on the results, and it is always good to see how the competitors are faring throughout a shoot. Great job yet again ladies. Thank you also to Ted Baker for all his work as usual, the Ribbon Winners of the Kempsey Ch/Ch sponsored by Dennis Pearson grounds looked a picture of perfection. We look forward to really fun getting those extra targets for free but I can say that it is seeing everyone at our next shoot on Saturday 17th November 2008. really special to get your first ribbon and at your home club.

Location Approx. 1500 km north of Brisbane
Picturesque Townsville Gun Club played host to this year’s Northern Zone Coaching Weekend on the 15th and 16th November. “Super Coach” Graeme Boyd (Assistant National Coaching Director) from Albury, New South Wales made his annual trek northwards to impart some of his knowledge, teach new techniques and introduce shooters to disciplines that they have never tried. 28 shooters (including 7 juniors) attended from Northern and Central Zone clubs and had the opportunity to shoot Down the Line, Skeet and ISSF Trap under the watchful eye of Graeme. Saturday morning began with registration and an introduction from Graeme. Focussing on DTL first, the participants were then split into two groups; AA and A grade shooters and B and C grade shooters. While the AA and A graders took to the tracks with Boydie for a shot that was captured on video, the B and C graders patterned their guns and had them checked for correct fit with The Gulf Grey, Northern Zone President Wayne Reeves. The groups swapped over, and then we had the opportunity to watch ourselves shoot and see and under- stand the things Graeme had identified as faults in our technique, such as gun hold (and focal point), foot position, hand placement on the fore-end, the level of your elbow to allow or restrict rotation, the The Call of the Wild” they just had to try it!

February 2009 Australian Clay Target Shooting News Page 55 CHRISTMAS SHOOT AT ECHUCA
Location On the Murray River which forms the border between Victoria and New South Wales
A good roll up of nine squads of shooters arrived at the Echuca Clay Target Club, plus, in most cases their families too, making for an excellent day of competition, and eating and more eating, with a lavish afternoon tea, and a roast evening meal complete with sweets and drinks supplied by the ladies committee. Catering for at least eighty people with food to spare, Dot Roberts, Heather Bradley, Helen Atkins, Joanne Kerr, and helpers, put together magnificent spreads that were thoroughly enjoyed by everyone in attendance. A very big thank you, girls! In competition, apart from mostly novelty events throughout the day, the main and more serious event was the Champion of Champions, and to be the Echuca Champion of Champions, the shooter has to have won a Championship at Echuca at some time in the current year. Echuca member Rob Viney has been extremely unlucky in the past three years, as he has outshot all others, but failed to collect the tartan sash by being ineligible, again this year he qualified for the shoot off, alongside Jack and Rob Collicoat both Deniliquin members, and again outshot all contenders, but this year he was eligible, and proudly accepted the Overall Champion of Champions tartan sash, Rob Viney C of C being congratulated by club president Ron Traill and Overall in AA grade place with an excellent 67/70 score.
