I am sure that you willall join with me in wishing them all every success at the games.Our team appears to be a strong one and we anticipate that theywill continue to perform at the same level they have at recentCommonwealth and Olympic games. Let’s hope we get some goodcoverage on television and that it helps to promote our sport to awider audience.

ACTA EXECUTIVE MEETINGAt the time of writing, I have just returned from our major 3 dayExecutive meeting held in Wagga. At this meeting, I was hon-oured to be re-elected to my 3rd term as President of the Aus-tralian Clay Target Association. Mr Bill Jones from NSW wasagain re-elected to be Vice President of our Association. His workin managing the finances of the Association is greatly appreciatedand valued.

NEW EXECUTIVE MEMBERSIn recent times we have had a number of changes to the NationalExecutive. We welcome:- Mr Peter Field as a new Qld delegate- Mr Robert Andrews representing SA- Mr Robert Fox representing the NTI am sure that each of these new members will contribute much tothe Executive bringing many years of experience in our sport tothe executive table.Special thanks to those retiring members for the work that theyhave done for the association.

SUB COMMITTEE CHAIRPERSONSSeveral changes have occurred in the election of sub committeeChairpersons at our recent meeting. The Chairpersons for 2002 /2003 year are:

- Finance: Mr Bill Jones- Promotions: Mr Allan Kenny- Shooting: Ms Elaine Forward- Coaching: Mr Glen O’Brien- Nationals: Mr Ron Trail- Rules: Mr Mark McInnes- Wagga: Mr John Byrnes- Management: Mr John Byrnes

If shooters have any queries relating to any of these committees,then the Chairpersons of the committees are a good starting pointfor information. A full list of sub committees will be published inthe magazine.

WA NATIONALS & WORLD CUPThe upcoming Skeet Nationals will be held in Western Australiain November of this year. The facilities are excellent and it wouldbe good to see a good roll up of skeet shooters to support the car-nival.In January 2003 we will also be holding our ISSF Nationals titlesin Western Australia. This will be a good practice run for theWorld Cup, which will also be held on the WAGC grounds inMarch of 2003. This will be a very busy time for WA but I am surethey will cope well with these carnivals. I suggest that many ofyou should start considering taking a holiday in the west and takein your preferred carnival at the same time.

STATE CARNIVALSDuring the next 2 or 3 months we see that there are many StateCarnivals and major shoots planned. In August, we have the NSWskeet carnival at Wagga and the NT ISSF carnival in Darwin.

The first day of competition saw some fine shooting from an enthu-siastic line-up. Jumbo Brown of Goondiwindi won the first event,sponsored by ID Transport. In this 25T Double Barrel event,Brown snared Overall after a tense shoot off with Wes Humphriesof Sunshine Coast. Frank Musumeci, John Bacchetti, MichaelBertinazzi, Fil Lofaro, Wayne Cosmo and Gary Williams all shotparticularly well, picking up places in their respective grades.Wes Humphries continued on his winning way, taking out theGranite Belt Nolans 25T Continental event.

John Bacchetti together with Geoff Patti held the Bal-landean banner high collecting places in the event.Guyra Veteran shooter Noel Campion held out Wes Humphries totake out the Overall in the Ralph Johns Pty Ltd 20T Double Rise.

JohnBacchetti and Gary Williams were again on the winners dais inevent 3, this time Tim Bonner joined them in sharing the spoils ofsuccessful shooting.The number of shooters for Day 2 of competition increased allvying for the $1,800 on offer for the 6th event on the program, theGrow Force 1000.

Steven Baronio and Wayne Murray ofSunshine Coast both scored the possible, forcing themto shoot off for the $1,000 up for grabs for 1st place.Both shooters shot particularly well considering theconditions, smoking target after target. Unfortunatelyfor Baronio, the wind, inexperience and nerves playedhavoc on this concentration, Murray went on to clench

1st place. To the delight of shooters and spectators Wayne Cosmorepresenting Grow Force and Suppliers handed over prize moneyto the 4 highest scores, Wayne Murray 1st, Steven Baronio 2nd,Greg Newey 3rd (Warwick), A Futter 4th (Glen Innes).

TTaallllaawwaallllaa AAnnnnuuaall TTwwoo DDaayyTTaallllaawwaallllaa AAnnnnuuaall TTwwoo DDaayy(Where the hell is Tallawalla? At Blackwater incentral Queensland silly).The Tallawalla clay target club recently held its annual two-day

shoot on 25 and 26 May and theweather was typical Qld, beauti-ful Saturday and perfectSunday.Leading up to the weekend, thelocal area had not received anyrain for months and the groundsresembled a dust bowl. Then acouple of days before the big day,we received approximately30mm of rain. Not enough tomake the grass grow but is didsettle the dust. A lot of workhas gone into our clubhouse oflate, upgrading facilities.Until recently the floor con-sisted of old conveyor belt, thewalls were corrugated fibro andthe kitchen was not userfriendly. But thanks to thesupport of some very generouslocal business houses and a lotof sweat from members such asVera and Jim Storch, the club-house now boosts concrete

floors, block walls and a brandnew kitchen.We still have quite a way to go

but those that have seen the before and after effects, all agree theeffort put in has been well worth it.It was good to see the shooters that made the effort to attend andour club thanks you for that. One shooter turned up wearing a WAjacket and I would like to think he had travelled all the way fromthe west just for us but I suspect he happened to be in the neigh-bourhood.It was a mixed event starting with a 50-target skeet just to geteveryone perked up and then we got into the trap events. Youknow, I reckon skeet is like a good cup of coffee ... just what youneed to get the day going. It’s funny some of the things you hearfrom trappers having their first go at skeet. Comments like“bugger”, “jeez where did that go”, “who wants to shoot skeetanyway” were not uncommon. Anyway we can’t all enjoy the finerthings in life.All events were keenly contested however, the main attraction wasthe “Coal Fields 100” once again sponsored by local miningcompany BHP. There were no possibles shot but a few 99’s linedup for the shoot off and as we know there can only be one winner.This time the honours went to a local Blackwater shooter BrettBecker. Good shooting Brett.The overall High Gun sponsored by local Caterpillar dealer,Hasting Deering, went to Jim Riggs who made the effort to travelup from Gladstone. Even a night out at the Bluff nightclub couldnot slow him down.Special thanks must go to our sponsors for, as we all know, withoutthem we just could not function.Brett Wilson who sponsored the handicap event. Hasting Deering,Komatsu Aust. P&H MinePro, Blackwater Sports and BHP whokindly donated prizes and cash.

August 2002Australian Clay Target Shooting NewsPage 6

The stimulus for this document derived from a pleain a copy of the Clay Target Shooting News forshooters to support a particular carnival, or elseface the prospect of it being the last time the eventwould be conducted. That the organisers of theevent were motivated to do this should prompt allclay target shooters to give some thought as towhether this reflects an isolated problem orwhether it is symptomatic of a general trend thathas profound implications for the future of thesport. It is my contention that this situation is anindicator of a more widespread trend which shouldreceive some urgent attention. I have no particularqualifications to comment on this issue but withmany years experience in the sport as a both a com-petitor and club administrator, I feel I can crediblyidentify some areas of concern and make a few sug-gestions as to how they might be redressed.I am aware that I might be viewed a pessimist and that my opin-ions regarding perceived problems would be subject to debate,but regardless of the validity or otherwise of what I believe, itwould do no harm to conduct a review to identify any concernsand develop strategies to deal with them. Indeed, any organisa-tion worth its salt should objectively scrutinise its policies andactivities on a cyclic basis irrespective of how well things aregoing. What I am alluding to here is a proactive rather than thereactive ad hoc approach to the way shooters and their represen-tative organisations often seem to deal with issues affectingthem. Whether this is a valid observation is moot, but it is indis-putable that a proactive approach is always to be preferred inthat it is more likely to bring about desired outcomes.The first task in any review of the status quo is to determine justwhat are the problems. In this regard I have little doubt that themajor issue confronting the sport is participation, or rather thelack of it, and of course participation is the key determinant inwhether the sport can remain viable. What is apparent from myobservations, and conversations with shooters from elsewhere, isthat declining attendances at shoots is not an uncommon phe-nomenon. You don’t necessarily need statistical data to supportsuch a contention. Take a look around your own club and note ifmembership and shoot attendances are down, then look to seehow many new faces, and particularly young faces you can see.Certainly it is normal in any sport for there to be a turnover ofparticipants but when they are not being replaced and theaverage age of shooters is increasing then there is cause forconcern. Quite clearly, the sports survival necessitates attractingnew blood and maintaining their enthusiasm. Remember, declin-ing participation not only impacts on the viability of a club but itcan also translate into difficulties in attracting sufficient person-nel to run its affairs and conduct shoots. I am of course unable tosay whether this situation prevails generally, and there areexamples of highly successful clubs that contradict the trend.Such examples of success could be useful models in that theymust have something that might be effectively utilised to advan-tage elsewhere. If as I assert, the primary problem for clay targetshooting is to stimulate interest in the sport, then it is essentialto identify those factors militating against that objective. Thereasons why interest appears to be declining is I feel a conse-quence of factors that are economic, demographic and socio-cul-tural in nature.Why then is it apparently problematic to foster interest in a sportthat we all know is challenging and stimulating? Certainly forthe potential younger shooter times are tough and with relativelyhigh unemployment or unstable employment in this age group,participation in a whole range of activities regardless of interestis perhaps hard to finance. Contradictorily, all this is occurringat a time when clay target shooting is cheaper in real terms thanit has ever been. Some might also be deterred by the sporthaving an expensive image, but this is a perception that is far

less relevant than in times past. While of course the sport is asexpensive as one wants to make it, for the average shooter, it is,in relative terms no more expensive than a lot of other leisureactivities. The perception of expensive, however, lingers andefforts need to be made to counter what might be discouraging inits effect.When enquiring into the causes of any decline in appeal weshould not underrate the impact of demographic changes in theequation. Rural populations have diminished in recent decadesand with many young people residing now in cities they havetended to become isolated from the environments that are gener-ally more conducive to the fostering of an interest in shooting.Whereas more of earlier generations had a closer proximity toareas where game was plentiful, started shooting in the field, andgraduated to competition later on, this sort of opportunity is lessavailable today. The reality for many potential shooters who areurban based, is that the logistics of accessing game areas issomewhat difficult and their best route into shooting it is likelyto be viacompetition. Comparisons between rural and city basedclubs in terms of their members age structure and whether theymaintain membership levels, should give an indication as to ifwhere you live is a significant factor in the level of interest inshooting sports.Social and cultural influences within our society, have and are,continuing to have a negative impact on shooters and there activ-ities. Media tendencies to sensationalise firearms misuse hascultivated an irrational attitude in the minds of some of the pop-ulation that frequently borders on hysteria. Some I know see themedia as part of a conspiracy against shooters but I am inclinedto construe this as something that has more do with enhancingratings and circulation. What is particularly galling is that jour-nalists are largely ignorant of firearms matters and seem tosource their information from the distorted propaganda of antifirearms zealots and idiot fringe environmental groups. I find ithard to understand the attitude of some environmentaliststowards shooters in that most shooting in this country is directedagainst vertebrate pests and inanimate targets.Potential shooters are of course not immune to all this negativityand some must be put off to some extent by it. Just as worryingis that politicians are subject to the same biased influences andthe prejudices so created manifest themselves in legislation.Observations spanning a long time have convinced me that muchof restrictive regulations now imposed on shooters have theirroots in the negative reporting by the media. It is unjust ofcourse, but regrettably the tendency of journalists to vilify shoot-ers is fact of life that has not been adequately countered. The“antis” seem to get their message over so why can’t shooters? The structure of much of industry and commerce has changedsignificantly over recent years and this factor is perhaps over-looked in terms of the impact it has on many sporting and socialactivities. Long gone are the days when many had the entireweekend to devote to leisure activities. Remember when busi-nesses shut at noon on Saturday? Now, more and more, thoseemployed in retail and service industries are obliged to work overweekends and certainly with regard to Saturday, this is begin-ning to look just like any other trading day. While these changesbenefit the public in some respects, the downside is that thesework practices detract from the ability of weekend workers toparticipate in sport. The only consolation for clay target shootersis that extended trading impacts similarly on other activities.Much of the foregoing relates to factors that are largely extrane-ous, and as such lie beyond the capacity to be dealt with in otherthan a reactive way, but of course any meaningful evaluation ofwhere the sport is at, must also look inwardly at any inherentdeficiencies which detract from its appeal to keep participants.On the issue of drop-outs it should be acknowledged that naturalattrition is to a point a fact of life that occurs in all spheres ofactivity, but what should be of real concern is where a shooterdrops out of the sport because of some reason or problem that isdirectly within the power of the sports administrators to rectify.While the national and state associations have an important role

in maintaining the well being of the sport the clubs are the mostimportant focus from the shooters standpoint. It is difficult toperhaps be prescriptive of just what it is that makes for a goodfacility that can keep shooters keen but there are in my experi-ence two extremes in the type of club and either can be equallysuccessful. There is on one hand the small regionally based clubwith perhaps a couple of DTL traps, which conducts a monthlyshoot that is popular because of its informal picnic atmosphere.Often the competitors know one another as neighbours and arealso by their locale and occupations likely to be field shooterswhich in itself may engender a more favourable environment forcompetitive shooting. An operation of this type has a relativelylow capital investment, ongoing overheads are small and its man-agement is not overly complex.Contrast this situation with that of a large metropolitan club.Here is a facility that may cater for several clay target disci-plines, have many shooting layouts and be supported by goodamenities and catering services. Competition is likely held everyweekend and opportunities for practice and coaching available atvarious times throughout the week. Such an operation is a farcry from the example I described above. The capital investmentin land, machinery, buildings and contents is considerable andobviously maintenance and other overhead costs are going to bevery high. Far from being simple to control, such an outfit is abusiness by any definition and as such its committee of manage-ment would ideally contain a wide spectrum of skills if the entityis to function efficiently and effectively. The demands on the timeof such a committee will be very much greater than for theircounterparts in the smaller example mentioned and as such thecomplexity of things may oblige the engagement of varyingdegrees of professional help.The expectations of shooters also tend to be different in regard tolarger and smaller clubs. As suggested, a small club will havelimitations that are acceptable in that context, whereas a largeclub in addition to the variety of shooting disciplines it caters to,will be expected to be more professionally run and provide amuch higher standard of amenities and service. Metropolitanshooters also seem to identify less with a club in a social sensecompared to regional people and their attitude to the sport morebusiness like. Many urban shooters merely pay their nomina-tions, shoot and depart with little of the commitment than mightbe evident in members of a smaller club where the spirit of cama-raderie is probably much stronger. This attitude of detachmentthat is evident in some shooters is all very well, but it does unfor-tunately mean that getting workers to keep things functioning inwhat has been a traditionally voluntary structure gets more andmore difficult. I often wonder if some shooters are aware of thefact that they enjoy relatively cheap clay target shooting and thatthis to a significant extent is due to the efforts of the few.Notwithstanding the differences of between clubs that may havean influence on someone maintaining an interest and an involve-ment in clay target shooting, there are other factors that have arole as well. There needs to be a recognition that a welcomingattitude, help for beginners and those shooters who experienceproblems in the sport, value for money and competent organisa-tion of shoots are major factors in sustaining interest. These areprimary functions that are clearly the responsibility of the indi-vidual club.Any discussion of the sport in terms of what serves to encourageor discourage shooters would never be complete without a refer-ence to the issue of structure and rules.In my thirty years association with the sport, perhaps the mostcontentious and perennial topic concerns the grading and hand-icapping of shooters. Various modifications have been made overthe years to try to improve equity and fairness and thwart thecheats, yet there is always something to gripe about. I know fora fact that some shooters feel the system works against them andthe consequential disaffection can result in a loss of interest. Cer-tainly no system however well contrived can be entirely free offlaws and contradictions, but if the structure is perceived to beopen to abuse as some indeed seem to believe, then things shouldbe subject to a review and changed if necessary. Problems shouldnot be allowed to fester.In the foregoing I have alluded to some external factors of a social

or economic nature which have, and continue to have a negativeimpact on our sport. Many other activities are also similarlyaffected by what is irrevocable change but shooters are virtuallyalone in terms of the legislative restrictions that are imposed onthem. Regrettably, the worst aspects of legislation will not bechanged but there are absurdities within the existing frameworkof regulations that are illogical and should be vigorously opposed.Sadly the kind of regulations now in place are precipitated byevents beyond the control of honest shooters, but they can assistto counter future threats by at all times presenting to the publican image of responsibility and exemplary conduct with regard tofirearms use. We should remember that many restrictions arethe resultant of the actions of individuals.The aspect of image is critical for the future of sport shooting inthis country and like it or not the public view of shooters is asmentioned one created by the media. We have seen how duringthe Sydney Olympics our shooters became the heroes of the hourand the sport gained a degree of favourable publicity that wouldbe impossible to buy. This is indicative of how things could be,but sadly, this kind of exposure occurs only infrequently. Realis-tically though, a relatively minor sport like clay target shootingwill battle to command the kind of coverage from the sportingmedia that cultivates a greater interest amongst the public.However, it is not impossible to do better and efforts should bemaintained to ensure to at least get major competitive eventsmore adequately reported. Bringing the achievements of highprofile shooters before the public creates a strong favourableimpression that enhances acceptance of the sport as a legitimateand worthwhile pursuit. Greater acceptance is also more likely toresult in journalists treating firearms issues more fairly andobjectively but this can only be realised by building a betterrapport with the media. Remember also, that a good public atti-tude toward shooting sports is likely to rub off on the politiciansand this could only be beneficial.I have made reference to the difficulties in getting volunteers tomanage clubs (at least in some cases) and this is a phenomenonwhich could have a profound influence on whether the traditionalstructure under which clubs have operated can continue to exist.Smaller regionally based clubs may have an advantage here inthat they exist in an environment that seems more conducive inattracting volunteers and as such they will be able to survive inthe traditional form. Metropolitan clubs seem to exist within aculture which is less disposed to volunteering and it is no secretthat as the pool of volunteer workers diminishes then the abilityto operate successfully becomes increasingly compromised. Quiteclearly then, if the staffing of club committees becomes to difficultand the structure ceases to be effective then it must adoptanother mode of operation in order to survive. The extreme alter-native to a volunteer basis for a club management is one that isprofessionally run with all that implies in terms of greatlyincreased shooting costs. It could also result in some existingfacilities being amalgamated and branching out into supplemen-tary income generating activities. All shooters who value thebenefits of the present structure should give thought to activelyparticipating in the management of their club if they want it tocontinue in that form. If clay target shooting goes down the roadtowards being professionally run then it will be shooters them-selves who bring it about.I have pointed out the necessity for shooters to strive for a betterpublic image but given the entrenched antipathy towardsfirearms within many sections of society this will not be an easytask. Certainly it will be a task that involves shooters and alllevels of the sport’ administration in a coordinated programme ofpromotion. While I recognise that clubs have resource limita-tions for promotional activities there are nevertheless things thatcan be which are not overly demanding of effort. An invitationcan be extended to local politicians to visit a clay target club.That personal contact may be worth more than you mightimagine. Schools and youth organisations can be similarlyapproached and some clubs have been successful in gettingjuniors involved in the sport. What about approaching socialclubs/groups to come and try out the sport? Apart from thepotential to attract some new members, exposing more people tothe sport in a positive first hand way renders them less suscepti-ble to the distortions perpetrated by the media. The downside ofthese sorts of activities is that they are labour intensive, time

consuming and as such may be limited by the availability suit-able volunteers.While certain things can be done at the club level to promote claytarget shooting the real impetus must I feel start at the nationallevel. I am firm in the view that if the sport is to prosper andgrow this will be an outcome of how well it is promoted and mar-keted. This should not be construed as a criticism of the presentadministration and the Olympics successes of our shooters andother initiatives can be cited as examples of good management.However, more needs to be done promotionally. If anyone doubtsthe power of promotion they should consider how clever market-ing has endowed certain well known products with a degree ofcommercial success that is out of all proportion to their quality.The responsibility for marketing and promotion logically resideswith ACTA, although who actually devises and implements anystrategies could be debatable. To express a personal view, I feelthat such a function is highly skilled and as such should becarried out by professionals. Those skills may already existwithin the structure of ACTA or they may have to be sourcedexternally. Either way, good promotion requires commensurateinvestment and shooters should be prepared to pay more inACTA affiliation fees to achieve the desired results.I am well aware that the views I have expressed above derivelargely from anecdotal evidence and personal experience that isgeographically limited. As such, my perceptions of problems maybe atypical of the wider context and it will be pleasing if the harddata contradicts my assessment of the situation. Whether I amright or wrong is obviously debatable but it is nevertheless unde-niable that society is into an era of change and that clay targetshooting along with many other pursuits can not avoid beingaffected in some way. I can also say with confidence that withinthis new milieu the formula for success requires a commercialapproach, a capacity to anticipate contingencies, and an abilityto adapt rapidly and appropriately to new circumstances. Aboveall else, clay target shooters, club, state and national adminis-trators of the sport need to realise that they can not afford tomake assumptions or be complacent about the future.

August 2002Australian Clay Target Shooting NewsPage 12

This year marks the tenth anniversary of the fulfillment of myultimate ambition: standing in the middle of the dais at the end ofthe week of the World Skeet Championships. People often ask mehow I was able to take that “giant step” from being an amateurshooter in Australia to being a professional shooter in the US,which ultimately led to my becoming the World Skeet Champion.The answer is quite easy and can be summed up in two simplewords: Wayne Mayes! To explain that I need to back up abouttwenty years and walk you through a little history.

Back in 1983, the ACTA selected the first ever Australian Team torepresent our country at the World Skeet Shooting Champi-onships, the following year. That fact alone would be enough tomake 1983 a monumental year in Australian Skeet history.However it was also the first year that a separate Skeet Nationalswas held. Prior to 1983, the National Skeet Championship hadbeen shot at the Trap Nationals as a single 50-target event.

It was usually conducted on the day before the Nationals started,and sometimes even over two days, shooting 25 targets each day,because many of the venues selected for the Trap Nationals didnot have sufficient Skeet layouts to adequately handle the event.This problem was worsened by the fact that, in those days, manymore people competed in the National Skeet Championship thando now.

Although that sounds good, it actually wasn’t, because most of thepeople who wanted to be in the event weren’t, and most of thepeople who were, wished they weren’t. That’s because a single 50-target Skeet competition will not attract many Skeet shooters, nomatter how important that event may be. It’s just not a big enoughincentive to cause most people to travel great distances and lay outthe amount of time and money that would be required.

Thus, apart from a few real die-hards, only the Skeet shootersfrom the local area usually attended, and the bulk of Australia’sserious Skeet shooters sat at home and wondered “what if”. Sowhere did all the entrants materialise from? Well, because theSkeet was included in the Overall High Gun, and because it wasshot first, most of the Trap shooters were more or less forced toshoot it “just in case”.

Anyway, getting back to 1983, I was fortunate enough to make theteam that year, and so in July of 1984, got my first taste of “real”Skeet Shooting. Unfortunately that taste turned out to bebitter/sweet, as it was somewhat humbling to be the reigningNational Champion, National High-Gun and National RecordHolder, yet be unceremoniously flogged by the ladies and the littlekids. However, once I adjusted to the reality of that situation, Itried to take it in my stride and draw upon its positive aspect.

Although it was being made painfully obvious to me that I had noidea at all of how to shoot correctly, it was also becoming equallyobvious why shooting lessons were an integral part of the learningprocess in that country. So I immediately sought out some shoot-ing lessons and for these I chose the aforementioned gentleman,namely Wayne Mayes. I did this for several reasons, not the leastof which is the fact that he is unquestionably the greatest Skeetshooter to ever walk on the face of the Earth.

Because of my geographic difficulties, Wayne was gracious enoughto give me all the time that he could spare that week, and by theend of it I had enough raw material to come home and begintotally rebuilding my entire shooting method. The magnitude ofthe required changes was such that initially my scores dropped offdramatically. At the Nationals that year, instead of winning theHigh Gun and about half of the events, which I was used to doingaround that time, I considered myself very fortunate to win justone event.

By July of the following year (1985), even with twelve months ofevolution behind me, I knew that I was still a long way off Worldstandard, and gave no thought to going to America. However,another American trip was up for grabs at the Nationals that year,and by November I was more than ready, winning the High-Gunagain and cementing my place in the Team for the following year.

Another eight months of rigorous training ensued and by July of1986, although not expecting to “set the World on fire”, I wasquietly confident that I would at least be competitive and not haveto endure the indignity that the women and children had inflictedupon me on the previous occasion. And so it was. I shot all tenrounds of the 12-gauge qualifying without incident and got readyto go out and do battle with all the other people who had shot 250straight.

However, another unforeseen problem lay in store for me. Due tothe fact that the shoot-offs at the World Championships had beengetting longer and longer, sometimes going 50 rounds or more,1984 had marked the last year that the events were shot-off tofinality with regular Skeet. Starting in 1985, and in our absence,the shoot-off procedure had changed to doubles at all stations.Thus it came as a great shock to arrive back there in 1986, bliss-fully ignorant of this fact, and to be confronted with the reality ofit.

This was worsened by the fact that we were not shooting anydoubles in Australia at that time, let alone utilizing them in shoot-offs. Anyway, remembering the bird and the frog, I prevailed uponWayne to help out once again. Upon reflection, it must have beena strange sight. Imagine the National Gun Club in San Antonio on12-Gauge day at about 6.30 in the evening. Qualifying has longsince finished and all 37 regular fields are quiet and deserted.

Over a thousand people are milling around on the hill behind Fieldnumber one, the Shoot-off Field, waiting for the action to start.(The Stadium Field had not yet been built at that time). Suddenlyshooting is heard on Field Two and the crowd looks over to see thesport’s most recognizable person coaching some total stranger. I’msure the question on everyone’s mind was: “What in the hell doesWayne think he’s up to, giving Skeet lessons at a time and placelike this?”

Fortunately I was far enough away and far too deep in concentra-tion to hear the remarks and the laughter that I’m sure ensuedwhen the word spread that it was some foreigner from Australia,where they didn’t shoot doubles, who had made the shoot-off andWayne was trying to give him a last minute, crash course indoubles shooting. However, several hours later, when the ChiefReferee called a halt to the shooting, due to impending darkness(no lights back in those days either) only the great Bobby Uknalisand I remained and the laughter had long since died away.

History shows that Bobby became the 12-gauge World Championa couple of rounds into the continuation of the shoot-off the nextmorning, when I short stroked a high four. But we went on to dobattle many more times over the next seven or eight years andbecame the best of friends and shared a lot of great times together.

Anyway, getting back to the 1986 World Shoot, I guess that “luckynear miss”, combined with my insatiable hunger for Skeet knowl-edge, were the catalysts for Wayne and I forming a very close rela-tionship that year. Although I did not realize it then, this was tobecome the cornerstone of all my future shooting achievements.The following year, in 1987, Wayne did two things, which were tohave a major impact on my entire shooting career.

He convinced Deiter Kreighoff to give me a brand new K80 (com-plete with two sets of barrels, a tube set and an aluminium carrycase) and he convinced me that there was only one way to make

the quantum leap required to raise the level of my shooting to astage where I could genuinely and consistently match it with thetop ten or a dozen shooters in the world. And that was to spend thewhole six months of each shooting season in the US every year forthe next three or four years, instead of flying in each year for acouple of weeks and trying to win on a wing and a prayer with awild card.

Upon returning home at the end of October, I spent the next threeor four months fine tuning and interfacing with my new gun. ButI also did a lot of research and homework along the lines ofWayne’s suggestion and calculated that even if I could reach a“break even” point within three years (ie generate enough prizemoney each week to cover all the expenses of a six month visit tothe US), that three year exercise would cost about $100,000, withhalf of it being consumed in the first year.

After a tremendous amount of agonizing and soul searching, Ifinally decided that this was too high a price to pay for a “dream”,and so immediately after the Trap Nationals that year (1988), Isold my old Browning Trap gun, put my new Kreighoff in mothballs and quit shooting for good. However, shortly afterwards,Wayne rang to monitor my progress. Upon hearing of my decision,he asked if, as a personal favour to him, I would shoot practiceevery day for the next fortnight and keep an open mind on thewhole issue, while he considered the matter.

Punctually two weeks later he rang back with a proposal whichstill brings tears to my eyes to this very day, when I think backabout it. He suggested that if I would invest six months of my timeand the cost of an airline ticket, he would personally pay all myexpenses for the entire shooting season. Everything! The whole

nine yards! During the week I would live at his house and on theweek-ends he would pay my travel and accommodation costs, feedme, supply my shells and make room for me to shoot on his squad.(In the shooting world that’s about the equivalent of going to Italyon holidays and staying with the Pope). No commitments, no con-ditions and no strings attached.

Four years later, when I shot 650 straight and won the High OverAll at the World Skeet Championships and Wayne stood beside meon the dais as runner-up, you couldn’t tell who was the happiest orthe proudest. And when they inducted Wayne into the SkeetShooting Hall of Fame in 1994, by simply listing the vast expanseof all his shooting achievements, they did not even come close toindicating the real magnitude of this truly great man.

It is with great sadness and regret, the Jeparit Gun Club Incmourns the passing of our President Stan Newcombe on 22February 2002, as a result of a car accident, aged 60.Stan spent his lifetime farming in the district and was aninvaluable foundation member in reforming the club in 1975.He was always a fair and honest competitor and gentlemanon and off the tracks. He was involved from the beginning inthe School Shooting Competitions and always made himselfavailable to assist in the running of these events.In later years those hungry Junior Shooters knew him for hisability to cook the best chips, and demand was always aheadof supply. Stan was held in high regard around the clubs andwas well known for his quick wit and joking nature.Our sympathy goes out to his wife Jenny and Family. We willall miss our good friend and dedicated President.

Robert (Robbie) Iacovella18/2/81 - 24/5/02

I felt both pride and honour when approached by our club towrite a few words about Robbie.Robbie was only a member for 2 years, but the respect heshowed for others was clear from the start. He was alwayskeen to learn new ideas, as well as help out around the clubwith scoring or refereeing. When we visited other clubs, hishand would be one of the first up when the call for volunteerswent out.Whilst travelling to other clubs, Rob would often tell me of hislove for the outdoors. How he hoped to purchase 30 acresaround Ballan with a huge dam on it, so he could catch andrelease some great fish. Though hunting and clay targetshooting really got him going. We would talk for hours aboutthe hunting we did and were going to do.

Rob enjoyed making friends with whomever he met. This wasevident by the large crowd of mourners at his service. It wasnice to see a good turn out from the shooting fraternity rep-resented.Robbie enjoyed a good joke, I remember going to CastlemaineGun Club one evening and both agreeing to nom up together,just to see their faces trying to pronounce both our surnames.At the end you’d hear “Tony and Robbie, you know who youare, you’re up now”. We kept that going every time we shot.We’d laugh about that all the way home.Rob always found positives for problems that would arise. Wewere coming home after a wet afternoons shoot at Walmer,when he commented on how we both missed some easytargets. We sat quietly for a while when all of a sudden hecame up with a beauty, “I’ve worked it out!” he said. “If youdon’t let a few go now and then, you won’t have any breedingpairs for next year”. This was Robert.Robert will be sadly missed by all, which were fortunateenough to have met this extraordinary young man.Our sympathy goes out to all his family and friends.RIP Robert, you will always be in our thoughts.

Winchester School Championshipsin Queensland

Winchester began its association with School shooting in WesternVictoria at the Rainbow State High School. This school had itsown trap in the school ground. The first shoot was run by Mr KenLowry (State Manager of Winchester) assisted by Mr Bob Dupuy.The shoot was open to both girls and boys.It proved so popular that a School State Championship was intro-duced in 1979 at the Jeparit Gun Club with over 100 studentscompeting. Unfortunately, Bob Dupuy was not there to witnessthe event as he had transferred to Queensland as State SalesManager. The Victorian Championships have gone from strengthto strength with attendance growing to 704 in 1999 with partici-pants from 93 schools.Victoria’s loss was Queensland’s gain as Bob Dupuy becameinvolved with Junior and School shooting in Queensland. Due tothe vast distances between major population centres in Queens-land, it was seen as impossible to get a large number of schoolstogether for shoulder to shoulder competition. Therefore a postalshoot was implemented.The number of schools competing depends on a number of factors.These include shooting being a school sport, the School Principalnot being anti Fire Arms and the Parents and Citizens Committeealso being agreeable.The Postal Shoot is a 20 target single barrel event for obvioussafety reasons. The winners of the various postal teams’ matchesare shown in the table at the end of this article.Winchester in Queensland also sponsor a State School Champi-onship held at Toowoomba Clay Target Club in November eachyear. Generally more than 5 squads compete in this event whichis shot as a 20 target event of 10T DB and 10T Point Score.Bob Dupuy retired from Winchester Australia in December 2001but his successor, Greg Mitchell has indicated his willingness tocontinue Winchester’s Sponsorship of these events as in BobDupuy’s words “We have to keep the Juniors coming along as theyare our future”.Winchester Australia are to be congratulated for their proactiveapproach to growing the clay target shooting sports in Queens-land.Queensland Inter School Teams MatchesWinning Teams1982 Miami State High School1983 Palm Beach State High School1984 Not held1985 Scots PGC Warwick1986 Scots PGC Warwick

After initial instruction on correct handling and use of 12 gaugeshotguns for sport, 18 students were then coached in actual shoot-ing conditions. With individual coaching, most were surprised tofind they were able to hit some clay targets. The students werepleasantly surprised at the very low recoil of the light cartridges,and on hearing that clay target shooting is one of the worlds safestsports, they gained confidence. Then several students managed toclaim four out of six targets shot.Further coaching will continue in a weeks time.
