It~ is~ a~ while since one of these columns has been ~mduced but that does not mean that nothing is happeningup in the land of the never never. The biggest news of late has been the formation of a new club at Groote Eylandt. This club under the stewardship of Kevin Ross has 15 members;a DTL layout and shoots evely second Sunday. This is not a bad start for a small isolated community and we all wish them well. Groote is a beautiful place and it would not take a lot of promotion to become a really cxotic, rap, shooting venue. Strange goings on at Alice Springs: major changes at the AGM with a new president, secretary etc. but then followed by even further changes. SufPice to say Mick Milera is still president with Michael Farren as secretary. Glad to see you still in the saddle Mick. Hope all's well for the new year. Darwin also had an AGM recently. Ken Selwood has stayed on as president, Phil Grove as secretary and John Enclosed cheque for $ being total amount Fletcher is keeping them honest as treasurer. Peter Hoare required for all events entered. I understand that while all has taken on the all important role of bar manager (that's efforts will be made to meet my preferred shooting times, no got to be worth a beer Peter?). guarantees have been given. The pilot's strike upset the N.T. skeet team's plans of at- tending the skeet nationals but our lone representative, Jim Bitossi, did us pmud by taking out B Grade of the 25 pair National Skeet Doubles Championship. "'On ya Jim!" Things have been fairly quiet at Bormlwla but should hot up again after the wet. Yulara have been going along well and have been busy planning their major annual shwt for the Australia Day weekend so if you are looking for something unusual. slip ED R'S OX over to Yulara for that weekend. I can assure you that the Sir. hospitality will be tops.

The Guns with the latest and up to date technology built into them:

Perazzi is the innovative gun that has done so much for so many in such a short time (in comparison with other manufacturers) since their introduction that it is obviously the quality gun of the present and very possible the gun of the foreseeable future. It is the gun that amazes shooters (beginners andsxperienced) with its most effortless speed and ease of handling to give you the scores. That score that makes you a winner - in fact if you take notice it is the gun that is making headlines up front more often most times for the percentage of guns used. Now anaiyse this and you must surely convince yourself that value for money your first or next gun must surely be a PERAZZI. Their balance is superb. We have so many of the more popular models in stock that there must surely be a model to suit you. If not, it would only be a telex call away and remember they are easy to shoot and extremely soft on your shoulder. Also you must surely appreciate the simplicity of its dismantling and reassembling quality system as the innovation of the century and second to none in gun design. If you haven't seen one, ask anyone who has one. He would be as proud to show it to you as he is to own it. So now think positive - "PERAZZI FROM YOUI". Tony Yozzi Sports, 460 William Street.

With ClayTarget shooting, alot of time is out into teachins the coetstance, guxdit &d hold and the basics of hitti$ moving targets - b'th in long and short barrel disciplines.
