Stuart has given considerable thought to developing software that would meet the course requirements of his HSC, whilst at the same time developing a package that will inevitably make life easier for the club secretary. In the year of the volunteer, local communities are providing recognition for all those who work tirelessly for sporting organisa- tions, it is a pleasure to see a concrete attempt to lessen the work load for shoot secretaries. Stuart intends to make his software package available and I believe that in the future, the work of the shoot secretary could be substantially reduced due to the efforts of Stuart.

When gun fit was a relative unknown Bob was well aware of the benefit of correct gun fit. My three U&O’s and Beretta 301 auto attest to that fact as they all went under the saw and spokeshave so that they now fit me to a tee. In the early days Bob was a very keen com- petitor and won many Club championships. He was also a keen reloader and loved experimenting with different powders, wads, primers and even rolled crimps. Many a time we spent at the Club checking the pattern of this particular cartridge as against another. His prowess in the field was pretty good too. The days spent at Millmerran after a few ducks and of those high-flying teal with afterburner on full and taking them clean with one cartridge per bird, is a memory as clear as crystal. Sitting around a campfire on the banks of the Namoi River at Bog- gabri with a rum in one hand and a beer in the other, debating the missed targets, after a “hard day at the office” shooting three rounds of 25 targets, are memories that time does not dim. My interest in clay target shooting probably coincided with Bob’s failing eyesight and maybe I miss shooting alongside a mate and discussing that missed target or how I picked that one off six foot from the ground, over a coldie at the bar. His cheerfulness and willingness to pass on his experience eagerly and simply will be sadly missed by many and I suspect his memory will remain with the great number of people he helped over the years.

Canberra held its last Medley shoot for the year on Sunday the last day of September. Unfortunately, it clashed with the NSW State Carnival and closely followed the National Sporting Clays at Mudgee. While the numbers were down, the friendly competitive spirit prevailed, with shooters attending from Cooma, Majura Park, Goulburn, Gunning-Dalton in addition to our own members. The competitive section consisted of four man teams of your own selection generally shooting in different squads of six on Trench, DTL, Skeet and Sporting Clays. Canberra is fortunate in that it can shoot all disciplines simultaneously. Consequently, there is little delay between competitors shooting the different disciplines. Because of this, Birds Only shooters are encouraged to join in and experience the different types of shooting. The weather was fine and apart from a stiff breeze, which at times made skeet a little difficult, shooting conditions were good. Results were as follows: 1st 330/400-Willow Cameron, Kym Chiaverini, Rob Cameron, John Bainbridge From the left Wayne Reeves (president), Noel Beale (handicap winner). 2nd 316/400- Brendan Walsh, Peter Hoare, Barry Meade, John Taylor After all the score were tallied the RC Cartridge High Gun Awards were presented with Geoff Archer sneaking home for the Overall 3rd 310/400-Dough Blewett, Steve McIntyre, Steve Balogh, David High Gun for the 2001 Northern Zone Skeet Carnival with his Crane score of 218/225.

The idea came from the postal shoot conducted each year against their sister club in New Zealand, Wairau Firth. Why not take it further and challenge the world to an e-Shoot? The event was 50 target Double Barrel Points, to be shot by each club on its home ground. Each team consisted of two A Grade shooters, two B Grade and two C Grade, with the top five scores counted. The scores were submitted via the MCTC web site, with the closing date of August 31st.
