Laurie’s shooting began in the early 1970s, when he joined the Rockhampton Gun Club and enjoyed shooting with his brother, Dave. In 1984, Laurie and wife Candy lost all their possessions in a devastating house fi re, and ended up living at the Rockhampton Gun Club for three months. The extra practice that this allowed Laurie paid off the following year when he won the Queensland State High Gun, as a C Grade shooter, over Adrian 2012 Long Break winners, L-R: Paul Johnston, Shane O’Brien, Lorraine Hughes Cousens. Needless to say, this was the end of Laurie’s C Grade victo- ries, moving straight up to AA grade where he remains today. This was GRAND SLAM also the start of Laurie’s devotion to the Queensland State Skeet Shoots, attending 18 years in a row and only missing the 19th for his daughter’s The Grand Slam Award is only presented when a person has achieved 21st birthday. 200 x 12 Gauge, 100 x 20 Gauge and 100 Doubles.

In February 2012, Mike broke 239 in the 12 Gauge and the Commonwealth Skeet Championship. Laurie’s skeet success contin- 207 in the 20 Gauge at the Victorian State Titles.

10 AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET SHOOTING NEWS – SEPTEMBER 2013 An Ode to Laurie – by Nigel Hughes The Nationals at Wagga, so this story is told, Is where a shoot-off took place between young and old. Young Tom down from Sydney, he was cocky and tall He'd shot skeet for 6 months, so Tom thought he knew it all, With his crew in their Skylines and Scubies all 'P' plated up, All texting each other with 'Wicked', 'Wasup?' But then into the car park rolled a ute belching smoke, In the back was a swag and some Bundy and Coke, Up front sat old Laurie from up Gladstone way Who although getting on now could still blow clays away! But young Tom didn't know him and he couldn't care less About this old bloke, his K80, his Australia vest. But if you took time to read the badges he wore, You would see this old bugger well - he'd been there before. Y'see Laurie's been shooting for so many years, Hall of Fame inductee, Laurie Chelepy and family That he'd learned a few tricks through the blood, sweat and tears. But Laurie’s success has never interfered with his skeet shenanigans, Unlike Tom and the rest of his 'Y' generation, with the 2011 New Zealand National Titles a particularly good example. Who thought life could be learnt from upon a PlayStation Todd Bender spoke of Laurie’s larrikin nature following the fi rst event So each day they both shot clean round after round, when Laurie proudly announced to Todd that it was Chelepy 1–Bender Broken targets stacked high, piles of clay on the ground. 0. After Chelepy 2–Bender 0, Laurie presented Todd with ‘the rock’, a With Tom chipping them all - his crew cheering their mate lucky totem (picked up from the gun club parking lot a few moments But Laurie smashed em all too - high 1 thro' to low 8. earlier) that would aid Todd’s performance. Todd won the next three Until scores were all in and were all added up events and has since carried the rock with him. As a token towards Just two for the shoot-off, old Laurie and Pup. Laurie’s skeet achievements, induction into the Hall of Fame, and in And as they got ready to begin the last part, appreciation of his friendly character, Todd presented Laurie with his Tom turned round to Laurie, said 'come on you old fart' World Championship watch. 'You've had your turn Laurie - it's time to move on – So that young studs like me can show you how it's done' But Laurie's a battler, who never took grief He just grinned up at Tom and took out his false teeth. Then went onto the layout where they drew a full crowd, Old Laurie seemed little against Tom so tall and so loud. But what Tom hadn't learnt from all that PlayStation Is the afternoon sun in this part of our nation! ’Cause at Wagga the sunset's not what you'd call 'grouse' ’Cause the bloody thing sets right above the low house! Which won't affect Laurie who was just 5 foot four Unlike Tom who stretches to six foot and more! Well, they both shot high eight . . . targets crashed to the ground, But 'twas the look on Tom's face as they both turned around, Y'see Laurie's face sat in a shadowy place But at six foot three Tom had the sun in his face!! Todd Bender, Laurie Chelepy and The Rock Laurie grinned . . . as he smashed both his low eights with ease Then young Tom tried to shoot them from right down on his knees. Overall, Laurie’s shooting achievements include 3 National Titles, 6 National But he dropped both the targets - he was right out of luck. Runner-Ups, 14 State Titles, 13 All Australian Teams, 6 Australian / New Laurie grinned, said 'there you go fool, go put that on Facebook!!' Zealand Trans Tasman teams, and 1 Macintosh Team. He was the fi rst person IN MEMORIAM to be inducted into AA Elite and is the 6th to now be inducted into the Skeet The previous year saw the loss of more members of the skeet family: Hall of Fame.
