Fine weather greeted Friday the 24th September after a very wetThursday. The annual Geraldton Crayfish Carnival (The Shoot)was on us again. This shoot has gradually been gaining inpopularity all across Australia for the last few years with everincreasing numbers. Some come to try to win a Crayfish, somecome to try the seafood Chowder, and some come for the prawnsand seafood during the BBQ on Sunday night. Some come just forthe good time. Others came for the Calcutta, the odd drink or two,and the great hospitality.We knew we were in for a big weekend when over 150 shootersnominated for the first event on Friday afternoon, the first of 10events for the weekend. Event 1 was the 25 Tgt Pointscoresponsored by Bailey Marine Fuels. Only one possible was shot andthe event was won by Geraldton's Greg Jackson with 150/150.Grade winner's were AA Gary Kelly, A Jon Rourke, B RayMcDonald, C Jason Olivieri.

This 15 Tgt event wassponsored by Pages Auto Electrical, and with only an overallwinner required, was soon won by Anthony Brown from theNorthern Territory with a score of 21/21.

CATERING FACILITIES AT THE NATIONAL GROUNDSAll shooters and visitors expect a reasonably standard hygienicarea for food and drink to be served.Have any of the 15 Executives even thought about a proper kitchenarea for food preparation at the National Ground?The trap layouts are progressing, but no money is available for akitchen and food preparation area.1. NSW State Carnival - over 200 shooters, plus say, 100 visitorsper day at the National ground for 4 days.2. Catering for shooters and visitors - Open on back verandah,overlooking the toilet and shower block. (Plenty of dust, blowfliesand birds#**!), anybody for some sauce?Surely the A.C.T.A. and the N.S.W. State could have better areasfor the caterers to operate from.The A.C.T.A. is spending thousands of dollars on permanent tradesite sheds, to be used maybe 14 days per year; a kitchen will beused in excess of 70 times a year.No food, no shooters, no A.C.T.A., no 15 Executives.Members that have any interest or concerns about this mattershould put pen to paper.Lets see which Executives are just seat warmers!

January 2005Page 18 Australian Clay Target Shooting News

In my last article I touched on learning and brieflymentioned behavioural approaches to learning. Forexample, classical conditioning with Pavlov's dogs andoperant conditioning with the example of poker machines.Other theories of learning take into account our cognitionsor thinking. Social learning theory emphasises theinteraction between behaviour and environment. The reasonwhy I mention this is because from a sport s perspective wecan use social learning theory to help us promote our sport.On the last weekend of October, Downside Clay Target Club thatoperates from the National Shooting Ground at Wagga held itsonce a year "come and try" promotional day. Wagga Wagga has apopulation of about 60,000 people and even though Wagga GunClub held a promotion day in August, another 85 people turnedup to try clay target shooting. What thoughts, feelings andactions were happening for those people who had never fired ashotgun? Now it's been a long time since I fired my first shot at a claytarget, so I have no idea what it must have been like for thosepeople who turned up. However in the same week, I was lent akayak by a friend because I said I should use the river to help mekeep fit. I live at Narrandera and have Murrumbidgee Riverfrontage so it seems reasonable that I should use the river to helpme exercise in a low impact way; I don't like running and it's hardto cycle over the corrugated road. So whilst I was excited abouthitting the water, once on the river, which was high and flowingfast, I suddenly realised that I knew very little about kayakingand this boat was extremely unstable. I paddled and paddled andprobably went about 50 metres, continually trying to focus onkeeping myself above the water. To be honest I found the firstattempt scary; I was out of my comfort zone, I didn't feel confidentor competent and I realised that there was some risk involved.In the twenty first century we've made our lives comfortable andhave taken out most of the risks (other than getting in a car eachday) so for the people; children, mothers and dads that turned upat Downside Gun Club having a loaded gun in their hands madethe participants feel excited. In a safe and controlledenvironment, the newcomers were able to do something excitingand thrilling because it has an element of danger. At the sametime they were trying something new and learning. Hopefullythey were having fun. As one of the coaches I was ever vigilantregarding safety and making sure that the participants actuallyhit some targets. Now this is where the club cheated a bit: thetargets were backed off, they were going the standard height butonly about 35 metres. The traps were set on straight-a-waytargets and the shells being used were RIO subsonics. Theseshells, because of their low speeds, pattern well and havepractically no perceived recoil and are relatively quiet. My groupof about 15, I'll call them new shooters, went through a full caseof shells, 500, in the three sessions, broken only by lunch andafternoon tea.Everyone in the group hit some targets; some hit most and someonly a few. Each broken target represented a real expression ofjoy and achievement. The American, Psychiatrist William Glasserbelieves that to learn something it must be fun. I have mentionedbefore that Glasser believes that for humans to be well adjustedthey need to have a sense of belonging, acceptance and approval,freedom to make decisions and fun. As clubs or associationstrying to promote our sport we should look at how we can best usesocial learning type theories to maximise getting people involvedin our sport and providing the best possible result for those tryingit out.

Downside, whether they planned it or not, did all the right things.What Downside Clay Target Club did, as Wagga Gun Club didpreviously, was to combine the opportunity to come and tryshooting with a promotion in the local shopping centre, handoutsand personal invitations, radio commentaries, newspaper articlesand television advertising. Having the National Ground at Waggahas been an advantage but both clubs have successfully used theservices of a local ABC presenter (the father of a new shooter) tohelp lift the media profile of our sport. Coupled with this, the NewSouth Wales Clay Target Association, contracted a localexperienced journalist and media presenter to visit the NationalGround to talk with some of the executive and develop a mediaplan that the association and clubs can use to lift their profile ofthe sport and local sports people. The media will not come to usand ask for stories; each association, zone and club has to beproactive in getting our story out to them. The starting point isthe local area media and all clubs should be making sure theirshoot reports, together with photos if possible, get into the localpaper and that readers expect to read something about our sporteach week.So with the background work complete, the clubs then made surepeople were welcomed. Everyone was greeted and introduced toothers. Name tags were a must and after being welcomed by thepresident they were introduced to the coaches, given a quick basiclecture on safety and gun-handling and then sent off to the traps.What these people went away with, after one day of shooting wasincredible.Firstly, they had attempted something new. Something that hadan element of danger, thrill and was difficult. Secondly, theyrealised that those stories about shotguns and shotgun shellswere basically myths as no one was laid on their back by therecoil and even the smallest of participants were able to pick upthe gun and have a go. Thirdly, these 85 people went away with adifferent perception about guns, gun owners and shooting. Wewere able to paint a picture in their minds that was notsensational or negative. Next, these people saw trap shooting asa skilful and difficult sport. Finally, it gave them those aspectsthat are important for human beings; a sense of belonging,acceptance and approval, freedom to try something new anddifferent, and fun. The next time they try to shoot the task will beeasier, just like my ability to kayak has gotten easier with eachday.There's a part of our brain that controls motor movements andhas a motor memory. What this means is that once we have learnthow to ride a bike we never forget. It's the same with snow skiing,water skiing, golf, shooting etc. So it doesn't matter if these peoplecome back next month or if they leave it for some years the nexttime they pick up a shotgun their muscles will remember whatdo.The participants on this day were made to feel welcome andvalued. They were treated with respect and dignity. They were fedand were given ample opportunity to have a go.And their interest will be followed up to get them to becomemembers of the clubs involved.Every NSW club can have one promotion day each year (I'm notsure of the other states). If the day offers good coaching in a safeenvironment, with food and overwhelming hospitality, coupledwith extensive media coverage and the involvement of a wellknown shooter, then we should be able increase the participationin our sport.

The Minister of Sport - Justin Madden, opened this new complex atStawell earlier in the year. This complex involves all 4 Types ofshooting in this Area: Clay Target, Pistol and also Small and BigBore Rifle.

Back in 2002, the Stawell Gold Mine now known as (MPI)approached a small group of very keen local clay shooters to see ifit was possible to utilise two of their redundant Tailings Dams toerect a new and up to date Clay Target Range on this land.

It was only a matter of a few days and the lads were doing a lot oflooking, measuring and lots more looking and quite a fair bit ofspeculating to arrive at this very well set out layout.

This Range will at finality have 9 DTL layouts 3 Skeet, 1 D/Trap,1 Olympic Trench, other variations & also a golf driving range.Unfazed by the lack of support from some local shooters, this clubhas continued to progress forward in leaps and bounds.

Local business identities willingly took up positions on the 10Person Committee, only 2 of these being current clay targetshooters.

Now came the hard part (up till now it had been easy!!) money tofund the entire costs that would be needed to start a project likethis.

Luckily, the local retirement village had a large block of land thatneeded clearing. The 10 man crew, with a few staunch helpers, oneof who has since passed away, managed to some how c1ear out 600tonnes of fire wood which was sold to pay for vital items that were

needed to get the range up and moving.

MPI was providing much needed earth moving gear as well asdrivers, steel posts, hoses, cement, reinforcing & steel etc.

The next financial help came from the Dept of Youth, Sport &Recreation, this money, $50,000 was split equally between theclubs.

As in a new venture, you get the usual hiccups, but we got through

these unscathed. Again, it was time for the local businessmen toput their hands in their pockets and give their help, which they didwillingly knowing how much closer it would bring this dream tofruition. After all this, we now have a new clubhouse that will seatover 300 people in comfort.

With the help of all these people we achieved this and it will makethis one of the top clubs where locals and visitors may shoot. Plusany new shooters either young or old can be taught to shoot safely

The president, Phillip Scott has one main aim after the Club is upand running and that is to promote shooting in the area. He alsowants to make it as easy as possible for any new or up and comingJunior shooters to have a chance to compete at the Olympics asthese young people are the future of our sport

At the moment the club has got DTL, Skeet & Double Trap inoperation, by mid 2005 the Olympic Trench will be in use also.

Below is a list of just some of the gear that has been used in themaking of this club.

The Committee thanks MPI Mines Stawell for their support in thebuilding of the complex, local government authorities and localbusiness people for their 'very deep pockets'.

January 2nd and 3rd, 2005 will be our opening Day shoot, whichwill have 8 events over the 2 Days with over $8,000 in trophies.

We would like you to come and enjoy yourselves at Australia'snewest Club.

After a practice day when the weather went from bad toworse, clear skies greeted shooters for the 1st Day of theNewcastle Lake Macquarie Clay Target Club Annual 2 dayTrench and Skeet carnivals held on the same weekend. Theclub also held its monthly DTL shoot, so it was never adoubt to be a hectic weekend.Shooters travelled from Queensland and the Illawarra region ofNSW to attend, so competition was going to be challenging. Withthe squads finalised the 'trenchies' headed off to view the programwhile the 'skeeties' got their gear together. Earlier, club secretaryGraham Gosling got a bit too "up close and personal " with thethrowing arm of the low house, leaving him with "only a flesh

wound" and a bag of frozenpeas on his arm to ease theswelling and out of thecompetition.Skeet Event 1; 25tgt eyeopener, and it proved to be justthat, with some good shootingfrom Rod Nicholson and KevinRaymond, only missing thatelusive 1 for a 24/25 first thingof the day. With the trenchshooters into it, the 2nd skeetevent was 50tgt, with somegood scores across the gradesbeing recorded and RodNicholson at the front again.While the skeeties took a shortintermission, the DTL eventscommenced with someexcellent scores in the opening25tgt D/B, followed by goodshooting again in the 25tgtPointscore. Committeemembers worked in "shifts"relieving one another fromtrench trap duties so as toallow the others to shoot.While the trenchies battled itout, the final skeet event,

50tgt doubles, commenced with mixed emotions, some shootersloving it while others were not so sure. Veteran and dedicated skeetshooter Alf Najar showed he still has it to finish with a good 42/50,while the 2 ladies, Vivian Eagles and Renae Jenkins battled it outin a shoot off to decide C grade.DTL event 3; 15pair double rise had many shooters scratchingtheir heads as to why they can't get that second target. Final eventfor the day was a fun 10pair Deauville Doubles - drawn partners.After much laughter and hand shaking it was Gary Bartlett and

Anthony Chapman who came away clean with 10/10 pair. After ashoot off lasting more than a full round of mixed targets, MarkWelsh slipped off a single barrel target to force Vito Balliana tofocus on 1 target for Overall High Gun. With the day finishing late,a shower and good feed was high on most people's priority.Sunday dawned clear and crisp with fine weather predicted. WithGraham Gosling checking the trap from a safer distance, theskeeties squaded up for the 50tgt handicap. The program changedon the trench layout, Committeeman Mick Ling volunteered to "goin the hole" and work the trap for the 2nd x 100tgts trench. Theblow to Gozo's arm didn't do him any major harm, as he took outthe 50tgt skeet handicap. It was good to see several shooters takingthe opportunity to view and encourage shooters in otherdisciplines, as was the case with sisters Emma and Vivian Eagles.With the trenchies focused in the final, the skeeties started theirfinal event, the NLMCTC premier skeet event; 50tgt Cliff FergusonMemorial. Graham Gosling was in fine form after Saturdaysmishap and came home strongly with a nice score of 49/50, withRod Nicholson winning the 2Day Overall High Gun.Meanwhile the trenchies hadfinished the final and TonyArvanitakis surged home withan impressive 204/225 in the 2Day Overall Trench High Gun.For others results, please seethe results pages.The club thanks the kitchenladies who never fail to fill usup on good food, the office girlsfor efficiently filling in thebooks and associated papertrail, and all members whohelped keep traps full andrunning, (with some 10,000targets thrown) and especiallythose who trapped the trench.The club offers the grounds forcamping with good hotshowers and under cover areasif the weather turns crook forall those that travel.

EECCHHUUCCAA HHIIGGHH SSCCHHOOOOLL OONN TTAARRGGEETT Thursday the 18th and Friday the 19th of November sawclasses of year nine girl and boy students from Echuca HighSchool travel out to Echuca Clay Target Club for hands onlessons, in the sport of clay target shooting as part of theirPE curriculum.

Members of the Echuca club were only too pleased to be able topass on their knowledge of the sport and the very strict safetymeasures involved to make this sport one of the safest in the world.

Both girl and boy students were a little apprehensive at first atwhat they thought was going to be possibly high recoil from 12gauge shotgun use. But after receiving coaching on correcthandling and stance, and the use of low recoil cartridges, mixedwith good quality firearms, they soon relaxed and concentrated onactually hitting the targets.

It certainly is rewarding to a coach to watch as the learners go frombeing apprehensive, to being interested, to actually begin to hittargets bringing a big smile on their faces as they master the handeye co-ordination needed.

For beginners, of who most had never held a shotgun before thisclinic, the students responded well to the coaching, to the point ofmost actually hitting targets well.

Several showed exceptional capabilities at the sport with one boyachieving a seven out of ten score and girl student Riannon Ivancichitting six out of ten.

Because of the good behaviour of the school students, and theirattention to what they were told, the Echuca club members arelooking forward to follow up coaching for both groups in thefollowing week.

Echuca Clay Target Club committee would like to thank theEchuca High School for taking an interest in this sport as they feelthat at the very least, the coaching teaches the students safe andcorrect handling of firearms.
