Sydney CTC 2005 Anniversary Shoot and Miroku Super Challenge

Well after 12 months of planning the big day had come. The 2 Day Anniversary shoot had arrived and all was in readi- ness for what was hopefully to be a successful two days. With 190 in attendance on the Saturday and 180 on the Sunday the ground was running at maximum capacity. Unfortunately the weather was not so accommodating with overcast and windy weather on the Saturday and heavy rain on the Sunday, but despite this the scores were excellent. The first event on Saturday was a 25t Double Barrel cash divide in which there were 60 possibles. The second event for the day was 25t Single Barrel, which was sponsored by Safari Firearms. The shoot off started with 8 possibles and after some very good Brendan Burgess, Overall Double Barrel and new ground record holder , with shooting, NSW Gun Club Stuart from Highland Sports shooter Theo Lionatos had taken victory with a very grade winners: A grade Andy Vaccaro 25/25, B grade Brian Frost 25/25, and C grade Alex C 24/25. Tony Burgess, Overall Pointscore Winner good 64/64, James Vardenaga from Griffith The third event for Saturday was the 25t 'Peter Abela Memorial' took AA with 63/64. Other Pointscore sponsored by Horsley Park Gun shop. Fourteen people had shot the possible with the eventual winner being Tony Burgess from Majura Park Gun Club with a score of 156/156 ahead of Glen Hayden of Noorat with 153/156 taking AA Grade. Other Grade winners Bill C 104/105 - A grade, J Galea 74/75 - B grade and Tim Larkin 74/75 - C grade The final event for the Saturday was a 25t Double Barrel sponsored by EES Locksmiths. In this event there were 75 possibles so we knew the shoot off was going to be lengthy. After putting all the shooters through another 25 shoot off targets we decided to stop the shooting and break for tea until it got dark enough to shoot under lights. After a beau- tiful meal of Lamb Souvlaki and Lamb on the spit provided by the Greeks (namely Charlie Andrew and Co) the shoot off continued under lights. At Sydney we are blessed with having 5 traps with extremely powerful lights on them which allowed the shoot off to continue for quite some time. At 200 targets there were six shooters remaining, at 300 Theo Lionatos, Single Barrel Champion with Chett Auditore and hundred there were three shoot- Gary Georgiou, Safari Firearms ers remaining and when Tony A N. Lougas, Overall High Gun Page 14 Australian Clay Target Shooting News March 2006 dropped his 399th target it left Brendan Burgess and Glen Hayden to battle it out. At 500 we decided to call it a night and come back the next morning giving the shooters another 50 targets before going to points. We did not need to go to points as 31 targets later we had a winner. Brendan Burgess of Majura Park Gun Club had shot 531/531 beating Glen Hayden 530/531. AA grade was Tony A 398/399, A grade was David Spence 178/179, B grade G Zabetakis 85/86 and C Grade was Khaled Mahfouz with a very well shot 103/104. With the Highland Sports Handicap being the first event for Sunday Brendan Burgess on count back only needed to shoot 2 targets to break the ground record of 565. He shot the required targets plus a few more and set a new ground record of 576. Unfortunately he did not shoot the possible in that event but it was great shooting any- way. Even though Brendan didn't shoot the Handicap there were 14 people who did. The eventual winner being Brett Main of Cessnock with 78/78, second was Antony Macini 77/78, third Tony Salem

J Thaller took B grade with 35/40 and J Rodriguis took C grade with 25/30. To the committee's delight there was no need for any shoot off's to decide the High Guns as they were already decided. Khaled Mahfouz had taken C Grade with 235/255, Laetisha Scanlan who had a very successful shoot got B grade with a very well shot 244/255. A Pagett all the way from WA took A grade with a 247/255. Last bit not least Nick Lougas who his a regular thorn in the side of the top Sydney shooters took Overall and AA grade with a classy 252/255.

March 2006 Australian Clay Target Shooting News Page 15 Augusta Gun Club - Home of the Hillview Challenge Field Shoot Two Day Simulated Field Shoot

Augusta Gun Club held its first two day simulated field shoot on December 3 & 4 2005 incorporating 50 targets on Saturday afternoon and 100 targets on Sunday. Augusta's Hillview Challenge has been held for 8 years as a one day event and has become a firm favourite amongst the clay target shooters of WA. Augusta is situated 350 km south of Perth on the coast adjacent to Cape Leeuwin in the South West of WA and lies at the confluence of the Indian and Great Southern oceans. The Augusta area boasts beautiful beaches, excellent ocean and estuarine fishing, a soft cli- mate (albeit a touch windy at times) and being approxi- mately 30 km south of Margaret River, some of the best wineries and wines in Australia. The gun club boasts the most picturesque of settings. Situated high on a hill above the town of Augusta, the grounds of the club over- look Flinders Bay and the Great Southern Ocean as well as Hardy inlet and the Blackwood River. The simulated field course has been specifically laid out to make the most of this fabulous scenery. The Hillview Challenge is held traditionally on the first Sunday of December and has built a reputation of presenting shooters with tar- gets that provide an excellent contest whilst still enabling the best to shoot the possible. The committee this year decided to conduct a 50 target field event on Saturday afternoon thereby enabling shooters plenty of time to arrive from more distant locations and as a prelude to the Hillview Challenge on Sunday. Nominations for two days were very strong and from the feedback from those participating, the two day format was a winner. Augusta President Trevor Price congratulting Kevin Dickens, winner or the Rio- Corsiva Stakes

Saturday's event, the Rio-Corsiva Stakes was held in fine but very windy conditions. 61 shooters nominated for the 50m target event shot in 2 rounds of 25 targets. After the first round, Neil Yates was setting the pace with a fine 24/25 followed closely by Kevin Dickens with 23/25 along with Jon Dyas, Gavin Prouse, Paul Kuhne and Murray Tucker all on 22/25. The wind persisted for the second round but junior shooter Michael McDonald shone with a fine 24/25. Kevin Dickens compiled another 23/25 along with Alan Sexton, Jon Dyas and Neil Dowey. Overall winner of the Stakes was Kevin Dickens with a fine 46/50. Michael McDonald (56/62) beat Neil Yates (53/60) after a shoot- off to settle 1st and 2nd in A grade with Alan Sexton 44/50 defeating Vince Marney (43/50) for fist place in B grade.

It is futility of the situation, and Not Perform to their best ability hoped that for the upcoming Nationals and World Titles, that some dropping targets, or just Not Shoot - both actions being detrimental results are put in our National papers, so that shooters who cannot to our sport & clubs respectively. get to them at least know who the new champions are. Page 54 Australian Clay Target Shooting News March 2006 3. The additional workload that would be placed on office staff, whether it be at Club level, State or Nationals competition is totally unwarranted as these dedicated ladies & gentlemen already have THE AUSTRALIAN CLAY TARGET enough to do without having to figure out percentage ranges that ASSOCIATION don't have 'C' graders shooting against seasoned 'B' graders or even average 'A' graders. Our current grading system tells the office staff presents the whatever they need to know - ever so easy! I will move on to discuss Trevor Gurr's detailed letter. After studying this masterpiece, I found Trevor's ideas were basically 13TH ACTA SPORTING the same as mine. However, having said that, I would like to take his ideas one step closer to solution with my own thoughts on the mat- CLAY NATIONALS ter, and maybe other shooters will be able to agree with us or make even better improvements. TO BE HELD AT THE A.C.T.A. The basic problems with our current grading system are quite simple to identify & quite simple to rectify. They are: - NATIONAL GROUND 1. The ease at which shooters can legally manipulate the RULES in TASMAN RD., WAGGA WAGGA NSW order to remain in a grade or go down a grade or even two grades as has been discovered recently. SATURDAY MAY 20 AND 2 The major lack of incentive for shooters to go up a grade, due to attitude of CLUBS who, " like water, take the easy way out", insist SUNDAY MAY 21, 2006 on putting identical trophies for each grade - winners and where Events to commence at 9.00am daily. indicated, second placegetters. Now how do we rectify these problems? It's quite simple! In the case of the first problem, the key word here is RULES! The SATURDAY MAY 20 only way to attack this problem is by the Rules Committee biting the bullet and implementing the following suggestions:- Event 1 - 100tgt ACTA Sporting Clays Championship 1. Delete all rules covering downgrading, and replace with a O/A plus 1st, 2nd, 3rd in 4 divisions (Lewis System) provision for a periodic review of a shooter's performance by a three Ladies/Juniors/Veterans (3) or five (5) person jury or a panel appointed by the authority of the ACTA by a relevant State Association, and comprising at least 1 Nomination: $60.00 Rules Supervisor, 1 State Handicapper & 1 Zone Referee Examiner or 1 Zone Handicapper instead of the State Handicapper. SUNDAY MAY 21 2. Insert a provision whereby shooters who feel they have a case that warrants review must apply to their Club Handicapper in the Event 2 - 100tgt Commonwealth Sporting Clays first instance. The Club Handicapper must then refer the case to the Championship relevant Zone jury as soon as possible. 3. The Upgrading by a least one grade of known " habitual O/A plus 1st, 2nd, 3rd in 4 divisions (Lewis System) "Professional" shooters for a least five (5) years, with no recourse Ladies/Juniors/Veterans available to them during this period, except under extreme Nomination: $60.00 mitigating circumstances. Shooters cards to be annotated and stamped accordingly by an authorised ACTA jury member. 4. Combine the current two (2) columns in the DTL Shooting section NATIONAL SPORTING CLAY CHAMPION of the current shooter's record book to form one column for all scores (except Eye Openers, Double Rise and Targets Only) just as it In conjunction with Events 1 and 2 was up till the end of 1994 (pre 1995). Overall winner: Royal Blue Sash and Trophy 5. Increase the distance thrown for targets from 46 metres to 4 divisions (Lewis System) 50 metres in still air (maximum distance). 6. Increase the angle from 22 degrees to 35 degrees either side of the Ladies/Juniors/Veterans centreline. Open to all ACTA, SSAA and 7. Amend the current rule 2.01(h) by increasing the number of bad scores to be deleted for grading purposes. Field & Game Members In the case of the second problem, the key words are Incentive and PRE NOMINATIONS CLOSE 5 MAY 06 Clubs. Lower grade shooters are given no incentive to go up a grade when they see the club they are shooting at putting on identical FIELD LIMITED TO 100 SHOOTERS trophies for all the grade winners, The end result of this is that they either drop targets to stay in their grade, or walk away from their ENTRY FORMS ARE NOW AVAILABLE FOR THIS sport totally dissatisfied, taking others with them & telling potential new shooters the truth of the way the grading system works in Clay EVENT FROM: target Shooting. Some shooters actually make it up the grading ACTA NATIONAL OFFICE ON 02 6931 0122 OR ladder, some taking longer than others, but when you see just how www.claytarget.com.au many shooters are in each grade, the figures speak for themselves. Clubs have got to start thinking differently and operating in a Three person Team. Members must be affiliated with manner that encourages shooters to improve their grades. the same ACTA/SSAA/Field & Game Branch/Club Next month I hope to be able to finish this submission by a detailed Lewis grading system in place explanation of a system that will benefit clubs and shooters alike.

KEVIN AYLETT, 1924-2005 Cressy Gun Club, Tasmania Sadly, Kev Aylett died on November 1st after a long battle with illness and will be greatly missed by all who knew him. He was a keen shooter all his life, participating until quite recently from his wheelchair. He and Doreen have been great supporters and promoters of clay target shooting for decades, traveling to gun clubs all over Australia, making friends and inviting visitors back to local events. Overall High Gun winner, Steve Atkins Ladies High Gun, Carmel Carlon Kev, in his hat, was a familiar sight, he and Mother rarely missing a shoot anywhere in the state. The old 'bus' would bounce through the gate and Kev would jump out dressed in jeans and braces. Bit of a swagger, lots of cheek, “Twenty cents over the next event?" he'd ask. His funeral was held at the Deloraine cemetery and was attended by a huge crowd of family and friends, many from shooting circles. As you would expect, Kev had left no one in any doubt about the sort of 'send-off' he would like. The service began with 'The Pub with no Beer' then old friends told favourite stories before saying the final farewell. Kev was buried with some clays and his 'trade-mark' hat. Our sympathy is extended to Doreen & Kathy & family.

President, Bob Aitchison, welcomed shooters to “The Eastland Trade Supply Golden Snapper Shoot" at Coffs Harbour held on Saturday 12th November, 2005. Shooters travelled from throughout New South Wales, including Sydney, Moree and Albury. A number of shooters shot the programme at Coffs Harbour then went on to Grafton for the Sunday shoot. This made them eligible to entry in a prize for a holiday for two at Holiday Inn. Shooters had to compete for the layouts when the local kangaroos jumped across the layouts, but the Barbecue on offer was top grade steaks (not kangaroo). Coffs Harbour Club members are looking forward to the January shoot which will be held over the weekend of 7th and 8th January 2006. Campers are very welcome.
