His 122 in qualifying made light of the unpleasant conditions but an ordinary 22 in the final pitted him up against the Olympic gold medallist Alipov for the gold. Alipov drew the favoured number one shoot off position and they went shot for shot until Alipov missed his third to give Adam a much deserved win. An Olympic bronze, now a world cup final championship, truly an amazing year for one of the best trap shooters in the world. The bronze was won by the Italian Pellielo the Olympic silver medallist, which confirms why these three are at the top of the current world ranking's. Double Trap Women 1. Li Q. CHN 102 + 37 = 139 2.

The table was adorned with slabs and packets of Winchester ammunition and signage in support of their sponsorship. This year the Overall Winner was Sam Forsyth 108/110 from "AA" Graders P House 106/109, M Ponta 94/100 and M Voke. "A" Grade saw G Marsh 99/102 beat the youngest - M Anick 105/108 and the "old stager" C Bertini 104/108. There were new faces on the scene and "B" Grade was no exception when M Pedri 103/106 won from K Green 96/100 and E Toomey 103/108. Age & experience, G Jannings 90/100 over youth - M House 93/104 from lady - C Alexander 89/101 after a shoot off, saw "C" Grade with all of the game play of the day. L Cole 93/100 took the Unplaced Lady, C House 79/100 took Juniors and R Bailey 96/100, the Veterans. It was good to see an increased number of Ladies & Juniors in the event. On Sunday, PMI Stronghold Industries and Roy Alexander & Sons joined together once again (for the 3rd year) to sponsor the 100t Newton Thomas Skeet Championship. Numbers increased on the day for this event with more new faces joining the merry band of "Skeeties". An ecstatic Peter Vosper 112/114 won the Overall, noting in his speech that this was the one he had always wanted to win and now he had done it. "AA" Grade saw M Ponta 107/108 defeat P House 105/107 and M Anick 97/100 (who had just been regraded to AA). J Dyas decided that he needed practice by having a shoot off with G Schweikert finally winning with a 147/150 from 143/149 and 3rd was S O'Brien 110/114. As I said the competition The inaugural winners of the Mikasa Perpetual trophies were - had picked up on the day.

C Alexander 90/100 Throughout the Carnival, it showed that there is a lot of depth improved to take out "C" Grade from J Anick 86/100 and A Howe coming up in the Junior ranks and that Skeet is having a 84/100 - a new Junior. resurgence. Numbers will never be as strong as the DTL, but people will always support, promote and enjoy shooting targets and the camaraderie of this discipline. Time comes to finish and always there are thanks that must be said, whether to the sponsors or all of the helpers that made the Carnival as good as ever and to all - thank you. One special area to be mentioned is the ladies that manned the kitchen without electricity - thank you for your innovativeness and boy you cost me drinks. W.A.G.C (Inc) Promotions Officer

Allan Jones, John Crompton and Gary Kennerson, as usual they Laurie Lewis, or should I say Cletus worried me quite a bit with his expert commentary and knowledge of pig racing and breeding.

Day 7. 200 Singles, Glen missed at 155 which meant he had run 255/255 to end up on a 199/200, Simon shot a 198/200, Lynne Most of the big names were there, Leo Harrison, Ray Stafford, 196,200, Laurie 196,200 and I shot a disgraceful 194/200 to put Harlon Campbell etc. Glen shot 25/25 in the first bracket, this this in context I was punished by B, C, and D Graders, ladies, meant there was only five left in the shoot off. His second bracket Juniors, Sub Juniors, veterans and chair shooters, doesn't make he let one land but so did everyone else. His last bracket he nuked you feel real good but you have to cop it on the chin and hopefully the 25 and everyone else missed at least two targets there was put in enough effort in the up coming events to turn it around. quite a few asking who was the little stocky bloke from down under?

Most of the big guns never shot the possible either, there was a We decided to go out for a few jars, nothing to messy just a bit of total of 43 possibles. At 7.30pm Scotty Robinson (a Beretta rep) put fun with the local red necks as we were walking out of the last on a trick shooting display, it was awesome, off the shoulder, off the nightclub there was a pick up truck limosine parked at the hip and gun above his head, I would hate to be anywhere near him entrance with the back door open, so I thought I should introduce on a duck swamp! myself to whoever was in there.

Laurie and I had a good reason for shooting 87, that was the number you needed to get a shot for a Perazzi MX2000. That's our story and where sticking to it. Out we went and true to from we were both back in the car park after 10 birds, the guy who won it shot 40 straight. 50 pairs of Doubles, once again Glen proved his outstanding ability to shoot all disciplines so well with a 98/100, Simon 96/100 myself 94/100 Lynne 92/100 and Laurie 90/100. We found out Glen ahd won A class Singles from 2 days ago with 250/250 as well as A class Preliminary High Gun, if anyone thinks that is not that big of a deal that is OK but he ended up 15th Overall in the High Gun and I personally think that is a pretty fair effort for his first lash in the States. Day 9. 200 Singles Class Championship, Glen Shoots a 197/200, Lost in pro bass fishing shop in Cincinatti. John Crompton 199/200, Lynne 196/200, Laurie 192/200, Simon 197/200 and I managed to scrape through and shoot a possible. Old Pete whot a 199/200.

There was a kid called Jacob Turner (a Sub Junior) who ran the To make a long story short, I felt good and just wanted to stay there whole 600/600 Singles targets for the Grand, I would suggest he is as long as I could and "see what happens", quite a lot dropped out starting to get the hang of this mud pie shooting. early including the "AAA" graders and I missed my 24th target, the Day 13 100 Handicap and a day we would all like to forget as far disappointing thing was my sight picture looked good and I as our scores were concerned, I shot 92/100, Simon 91/100, Laurie thought it should have broke, never mind still had a good 91/100, Glen 86/100 and Lynne 80 something.

Psychological Skills for Shooting by Michael Kruger-Davis

SUPERSTITIOUS SCHEDULING that we run out of time. There were 72 possibles in the double There are several schools of thought in psychology; I often joke at barrel and to get into the state team you had to shoot off for the work that if you put six psychologists in a room you'll come up with last four places if you were three points down. Brian Manns from seven opinions and each school of thought is designed to explain Cobar shot over 650 and I'm sure that if time was on his side he human nature. Common theoretical frameworks include would have kept going. Given their criticism of the traps and the psychoanalytical (Freudian), behavioural, cognitive-behavioural, outstanding scores achieved at both the Nationals and the State Gestalt, Existential and so on. Carnival, I'm at a loss to understand what a "good score" (by their criteria) is. As I stated in an article after the Nationals human Behavioural learning theory argues that we learn to do something beings are able to discriminate things that are the same and if we are reinforced. The most well known example of this was targets are recognised as targets. But whether an individual Pavlov and his experiments with dogs. He noticed that when he shooter can discriminate further than that, I am not convinced. went to feed his dogs they salivated. So he then rang a bell every time he fed them and the dogs learnt to associate the bell with food. If you believe you can't shoot over the traps at the National Ground Soon the dogs would salivate at the sound of the bell even though then you will probably not be disappointed because your irrational no food had been presented. If the experience is pleasurable then beliefs will cause you to doubt your ability and you will tense up the reinforcement is called a reward and we will be more likely to and become anxious, lose concentration and you will miss. You will do what is expected of us again. If the experience is not pleasurable miss because you will believe this to be certain; it is not because of then the reinforcement is called a punishment and it is hoped that the traps or the targets. I often say that every target is missed by we will not do that particular behaviour again. If we get reinforced 6 inches; the distance from one ear to the other. But if you believe for a particular behaviour then we will most likely do it again. Take that you can shoot well regardless of the trap, the targets, the for example a poker machine: the machine is programmed so that weather and the location, then you will be able to maintain your it gives intermittent reinforcements so as to keep the player concentration, focus on the target and the process of shooting them, hooked.

The tiles were spotless, the took the attention of all, and when the dust settled there was no kitchen prepared and the office had its usual spring clean nearly "red" in sight on the board. Only 2 shooters were able to post a two weeks in advance. 98/100, they were Matty Patmore from Yass and Colin Witt from The trap committee worked hard to ensure that the "skeeties" and the Coast. Again this year by the time the spectators found a chair "sporties" did not make any mess. All of the broken clay pieces were to watch the battle - it was over, and Matty was the victor, with only cleaned up across the 4 DTL layouts by a contingent of rake two more targets being shot and the booty from the Winchester wielding shooters.

After a lot of laughter Lynn Thompson walked away pocketing the loot. It was decided that this event would probably happen again. The very popular Gold Coast evening entertainment or "The TenderPlus Extravaganza" was organised again this year by President Vince Vaina and his capable band of chefs and helpers. It was apparent that the prawns under the ice sculpture were XXOS (only about 4-6 to the kilo, but they were beautiful!). Shooters and families were treated to a most enjoyable evening, (it's still

Yes we did shoot too! On the Friday evening we again conducted the Queensland State Night Points Championship, however before we started, a complimentary meal was served prior to the event. Luckily Friday night was not part of the High Gun, as a lot of competitor's were not very happy, as the wind made shooting conditions very difficult. By the end of the 50, there was an overall winner in the form of George Sckaf on 144/150, a creditable 75/75 in the second half sealed his win and the other club patron had to hand over his 2003 crown to the "heir apparent". The overall trophy and sash was gleefully accepted, as this was the hardest we have seen George "work" for a while.

Ninety shooters stepped up to the plate to contest the George Sckaf Points Championship. The outright winner was Shaun Ryan from Springsure on 89/90. A tie between Pat Burke from Caboolture and Mark Joass from the Coast on 88/90 in AA was broken when a second barrel on the forth target saw Pat take the grade and his share of George's generous sponsorship. 1st AA Pat Burke Caboolture 100/102, 2nd Mark Joass Gold Coast 99/102. 1st A Phil Zapantis Brisbane 101/105, 2nd Meredith Page Gold Coast 98/105. 1st B Sam Cannizzaro Redcliffe 85/90, 2nd Graham Dowling NSW Gun Club 84/90. 1st C Sam Nucifora Gold Coast 73/90, 2nd Phil Sorby Gold Coast 78/96.
