June 2006 Australian Clay Target Shooting News Page 49 “THE YORKSHIRE TROPHY" The Tradition Continues

The Yorkshire Trophy, the most prestigious of the four The Trophy was originally commissioned by a Mr Fred Birkby and novelty sporting events held each year by The NSW Gun presented to the Harrogate Gun Club, Yorkshire, England in 1937 for Club, was held on Saturday, 26th Nov 2005. a competition shoot as a preliminary to the opening of the English game shooting season each year. The Harrogate Gun Club was sadly disbanded in the 1970's and the magnificent trophy was returned to Mr. Birkby's widow (now Mrs KM Marshall). As luck would have it Mrs-Marshall was the aunt of Bob Ellison(an enthusiastic shooter and member of the NSW Gun Club). Mrs Marshall, knowing of her nephew's keen interest in the sport, gave Bob the trophy to use as he saw fit. The Trophy, which contains some 2.4Kg of sterling silver and is valued at $25, 000, has been refurbished by Mr. Ellison. The six events for which the trophy was to originally contest are depicted in bas-relief on the outer panels making The Yorkvhire Trophy an absolute work of art. Not only has Bob Ellison presented The Yorkshire Trophy to The NSW Gun Club but-he continues to sponsor the annual event for which the Club is extremely grateful. The event was first contested in Australia in 1984 and the name of the winner each year is engraved on the Trophy. The winning shooter is presented with a boxed silver replica. THE YORKSHIRE TROPHY is an event worth contesting. The 2006 event is to be held on Saturday 25th November. A Nationals Story It was around 4am Wednesday morning, I was on my way to the 2006 nationals. I was just on the other side of Yass, when I noticed a Doe and a Joey (Kangaroos) on the right hand side of the highway. I started saying to myself, “Stay there you bastards, No! No!” Next minute I heard the double thud of hitting two Roos. I stopped reversed back to make sure that they were out of their misery. I had just got out of my dual cab, standing at the back of the car when a 4WD drove past, obviously with his foot on the brakes. You could hear the tyres chirping on the tar sealed highway. Steve Newcombe O/A Winner The 4WD reversed back and stopped in the middle of the highway, the driver jumped out of the car walked over and said, The Yorkshire Trophy is an open event and has an international pedi- “Just hit ’em mate, they dead?"

This tension however leads to anxiety and will be a factor that produces self-doubt about our ability. This doubt will affect our confidence and as a result we will tense up and therefore will not be fluid in our movements; for the shooter, he will miss, for the student he will have a mental blank. Because of the importance of the competition, we try harder, which leads to greater anxiety and more and more self-doubt. Regardless of the preparation, training and study you put into a task, you sometimes do not achieve your expected outcome. For athletes or students who are in this position, they need to realise the following points: Firstly, you are not your score. Whether it is a UAI or your score at the World Championships or the National Double Barrel. The score only represents how you did on that day and on that task.

Thank you to all those who were eager to help with the referee/scoring, canteen helpers who did a mammoth job, Jackie (who worked tirelessly with a bad back), Helen (not even our own member but we might claim her), Ruth 'B', and Les (who kept washing dishes), Ann (selling raffle tickets we might snaffle her as well), my office buddy Peter Harris doing the handicapping and Peter Kay for helping keep the score board up to date (a practice much appreciated by the shooters), Pres. Peter Hendy and Vice-P. Rob Clark for keeping the shoot running so smoothly and lastly to Darren for stepping in and taking the photographs brilliant work everyone. What a wonderful weekend of catching up with old friends (lovely to see you Krystal), some of whom we might only see once a year. Thanks to all those who came along, not just the shooters but the wives, girl friends, children, nannas and grandpas, making it a shoot to remember, and be prepared, we have a BIG shoot coming up later in the year so keep your eyes peeled in the CTSN for details.

COMMONWEALTH GAMES What an absolutely thrilling experience. The Melbourne Gun Club range looked fantastic, the money spent mani- curing the clubs facility was well spent, and hopefully can be kept up after the games have finished. From the outside it looked like Dexter Barnes & Claire Watts seemed to have everything running pretty smoothly at the range, but Grandstand viewing I imagine that there was an enormous amount of pressure to get things right. Plus to co-ordinate all the volunteers, was his first Gold medal in 4 attempts. It was so exciting to actually be on the grounds as the celebrations started to take place. A day I will wouldn't envy that job. A job well done I would say. never forget, and one I don't think Craig & Russell will forget either. I must also congratulate Deserie & Suzy, Michael & Adam for their Pairs Trap Gold Medals, Lauryn & Natalia's Pairs Skeet Gold Medals and Bronze for Clive & George. They all shot well in the team's events. The Individual Events were a different story, the best results coming from Skeet, Lauryn Mark & Clive Barton collecting silver medals. Clive Barton shooting a massive 123/125 was definitely a high light for me. WORLD CUP QUINGYUAN CITY, CHINA Women's Trap Stacy Roiall & Michelle Beecham Men's Trap Craig Henwood Men's Double Trap Tom Turner & Nathan Cassells The scores were certainly high in China, the women's trap event there were 2 who shot 74/75 and you needed a 69 to make the final. Michelle Beecham was our best placed lady with a 60, while Stacy Roiall shot a 58. Craig Henwood was our only representative to shoot the men's trap, he managed a 114/125 but fell a little short of the 121 you needed to make the final there. Men's double trap, Tom Turner qualified in second place in the final, amassing a 140/150, with a 49 & 50 in rounds 1 & 2 respectively, some awesome shooting, but seemed to run out of steam and finished 6th after the final. Still a Craig Trembath huge effort. Nathan Cassells managed a 132 and missed the final.

The crowds were huge, and the grand stand was packed every day. It Are You Fairdinkum?? seemed that the people who attended really loved the shooting, and There is only one thing that I feel needs to be mentioned re the Comm truly got into the spirit clapping and cheering at the right time when Games shooting competition, “THE REFEREES". Some of the ref's good scores were shot. When I looked into the crowd, there weren't come out of the woodwork when there is an International event too many familiar faces, and I hope that shooting is able to gain some new members, because Clay Target shooting was certainly showcased at this event, with plenty of Medals spread across Trap, Double Trap & Skeet. I managed to get out to the range a few days, and also caught the dedicated pay TV channel on Fox Sports. The coverage was really good, albeit the commentator Alex Smith started to run out of things to say on day 2, but got some help later in the week from various different shooters who ventured to the microphone. It was something we never see with the shooting, a channel on TV for us watch, I thought I was in heaven. Sunday the 19th March I got an awesome surprise, I was all set to sit back relax and watch the shooting at the range with my family, when Dexter Barnes asked me to be a filler in the Double Trap Pairs day, as a number of shooters had withdrawn from this event. Who was I to say no, so I raced to the car to grab my shooting gear, Dexter lent me his gun and I was set to what turned out to be the best seat in the house. I got put in Craig Trembath's squad, right next to him. A special day for Craig & I, as if you don't know Craig is my brother. So I got to shoot in front of a massive crowd next to my brother and watch him bring home a new games record partnered with Russell Mark. I was in awe of how he held it together to shoot 47/50 in his last round, and then to see Russ run out and jump into his arms, for it George Barton & Craig Trembath with the bar maid at the athletes village
