The different characteristics of individual sportsmen are strongly marked by their demeanour under various cir- cumstances. We find among them several types. The most distinct of these are the habitually fortunate men. There are those who, wherever they are placed, whether by lot or by selection, seem to others to get the best of the shooting - so much so, that they are jokingly credited with some mysteri- ous power of attracting game. There are those who on the contrary, are certain to complain that they have been most unlucky. They will call attention to the fact that others have had more shooting than themselves, and wonder how it so consistently happens that they never get the best of luck. A parallel line of contrast may be drawn between those that are satisfied and content wherever they arc placed, and As it stands at the moment, the World DTL event is to be those who, if left to their own choice, would prefer to take held in Wales at the end of July 1999.

I have no doubt that some people will argue that they are entitled to shoot birds only or to take part in practice only. If this is the case, then we must ask if the club would exist without it being "an approved club" by State Law. The answer is no . . . clubs arc approved only on the proof of its members being registered with an approved shooting body such as thc ACTA. We are only able to negotiate our low insurance premiums on the number of registered members we have, therefore the more members of our Association, the more we can achieve

I am not aware of any other sparting/shooting organisation allowing this practice to exist.

The next day was official practice for double trap and it was a very jet lagged bunch of shooters who arrived at the range that morning. The Lonato range consists of nine trap and skeet fields and a background of green grass and trees on a bank out at about 120m. The bank is covered with a green mesh to give an even background and to catch the lead shot. Most of the shooters did not shoot practice very well due to tired- ness but felt that with a good nights rest, things would improved the next day That afternoon we attended the official opening cer- emony followed by a very early night.

The death of George Biggs on Friday 14th August ...... State 1998 came as a shock to all who knew him. Although aged 88 years, George seemed to be indestructible, and his passing leaves a big gap in clay target shooting's 'old guard'! George's contribution to the sport will no doubt be chronicled elsewhere. However, it is his 'hidden' efforts on which I will focus. My first contact with George was in the early sixties when I was working for ICIANZ and Zone George was a manager with Hartley's Sports Store in Flinders Street, Melbourne. Our rela- Accreditation Level tionship strengthened over a period, and we became close friends during the planning and A.C.T.A. Registration No...... conduct of the 1973 World Shooting Champi- onships at Melbourne Gun Club. When my appointment as National Secretary of the ACTA was announced in September 1976, one of the first people to offer support was George Nomination details Biggs. His extensive knowledge of the sport's history and rules proved invaluable, and he was always available for advice. A little later, when a decision was made to estab- lish a national coaching scheme and an old col- league of mine, Newton Thomas, was appointed National Director of Coaching, George was again conspicuous in his efforts to contribute, ulti- mately being appointed to the official coaching team as Victorian Director of Coaching. Another project in which I was intimately involved was the schoolboy/schoolgirl training scheme and George was very prominent in its emergence, not only as a community safety program, but also providing a new personal chal- lenge to students.

My personal loss is of a very loyal and close friend, one to whom I owe a great deal. Attach extra information if required Maybe, just maybe, we will soon see an angels' shooting team appear on the scene! Return to: National Director of Coaching PO Box 88, Maylands, WA 6931 Noel J.

Is this giving him a fair go and providing him with equity, or Newcastle-Lake Macquarie is this tho infamous "tall poppy" system where instead of trying to rise to his level, we try to drag him down. And let's not forget little Johnny Smith. In Clay Target Club reality, he was probably so distracted and intimidated by having to shoot beside the great man that he wasn't able to achieve his own potential. Wouldn't we be better to allow both af thesccomoetitors to eamoete in the mosl distraction free and unstressed environment possible. So where does this leave us? Bctwecn a rock and a hard place. We obviously can't leave the rule unchanged, but ifwe water "will* down to "may", then the original intent is lost and we're headed far confrontation and ill-will again. What is the answer? Rescind the rule totally Replace it with a rule that says "Shooters will be allowed to arrange their own squads and shoot management will make every effort to aceommadate this, whenever possible". Remember, this is not a new and untried and radical concept. The rest of the world has had it since the year dot. 1 believe the hour Is at hand to lakc the bull by the horns, shake of our "convict origin mind set", as our Tasman neighbors so apprapri- ately put it, and get with the times.
