JANUARY 2015 – AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET NEWS 1 Presidents Notes

There has been discussion recently regarding E. Albert, 2nd, 59/60. I had the pleasure of being in Katanning whether the ACTA should consider the ease in Western Australia for their three days’ championship shoot, in which members are shooting large breaks. and here, although 39/40 was the best score off 20 yards, the There has been an improvement in firearms, shoot-off lasted for over 100 rounds. equipment and ammunition and in the not I am over 70 years of age and I feel that conditions of shooting too distant past there was a change in the are much too easy. All shooters know that on any reasonable angle that targets were thrown along with the day if they lose a bird they are out of the contest, even if distance. Some say that this makes the sport the programme states at 50 birds, and more or less lose all too easy – others say that it is a good thing interest in the shoot, although most shooters go through the because they have an opportunity to shoot programme. these larger breaks. At the last DTL Nationals there were four shooters in the double barrel Clay bird shooters have to find all the money for their sport – event that shot over 1000 targets straight. upkeep of their club, nominations to pay for trophies, sashes Fantastic shooting and I congratulate these members (and those that were in and clays, and mostly sweeps and cartridges. We find that the shoot off) however it caused timing issues for the carnival. unless a shooter is quite wealthy he cannot afford, say, four or five packets of cartridges, plus all other expenses and perhaps, Whilst reading past Clay Target Shooting News magazines on the ACTA after shooting 50, 60 or 70 straight, to miss a bird before a website, I came across a letter that was sent to the Secretary / Editor over 57 division. He just stays away from future events. years ago. I reprint it below in full. I suggest that shooting be made much more difficult by Clear Hills handicaps commencing from, say, 18 yards minimum to 30 Barellan, N.S.W. yards maximum, and that traps be regulated to throw targets 14th December, 1957 from, say, 6 feet high at 15 feet from the trap to 20 feet at the same distance. After all, only one shooter can win any Letter to the Secretary – Editor championship, and I feel the winner would get much greater A.C.TA. thrill to win a championship with, say, 15/20 than 100/100, or Sir, even 150/150. I think that some system of shooting should be devised that would allow the young shooter who still has to As an old and keen clay bird buster for the last 30 years or so, make his way in life, to enable him to compete at a reasonable I am very concerned at the falling off of shooters, particularly cost without using up to six packets of shells for an afternoon’s in my district (the Riverina, N.S.W.).

The National Executive Committee, When I ask any of the many former supporters why they do not through the Championships Committee realised this issue and has altered this shoot, the answer invariably is “too expensive” or “make the years’ programme in an attempt to rectify the long shoot off issue. Whether it shooting tougher and we will come back”. I personally feel that I works or not will be assessed and reconsidered after the Nationals. am getting to that stage myself and feel that unless conditions In short, at least the Executive Committee is trying different approaches in an of clay bird shooting is made much harder, I will not be interested effort to rectify problems of the past. As to the success – if not, there will be a in it much longer. I personally think that it should be difficult for return to the format of the past or another approach tried. any shooter to shoot, say, 20 straight. Taking some of the local championships here, we get these results:- Or, as has been suggested by members, the double barrel event is not included in the Macintosh Team selection? Should the team be selected on 1956 – the single barrel event only? Single and pointscore events only? Or should they Griffith Gun Club Championship – be conducted one day after each, with shooters that are in the double barrel R. Bushby, 50/50, 1st; E.

The AA® TrAAcker™ is the first shotgun shell to feature a weighted wad that actually tracks with the shot string. This allows the shooter or an instructor to quickly determine where the shooter is missing – making it easy to adjust and nail flying targets shot after shot. The wad tracks a full, one ounce of shot down range for highly effective performance on clay targets and fast flying game. The AA® TrAAcker™ load is available in two highly visible colors: orange, for overcast conditions or dark backdrops, and black for clear skies or light backdrops.
