WA1500 State Titles at Mildura 30


Welcome to the October edition of

Victorian Pistol News.

As we mentioned last time The Greens

are threatening our sport by suggesting

that getting rid of semi automatic

pistols from licensed shooters, crime

will be dramatically reduced. Many of

us put pen to paper expressing our

opinions to this enquiry. One has been

sent to me for publication here on page

16. Due to the number of submissions—

over 380 — the date which they will be

tabled has been extended until 2nd

December.

October is a busy month for clubs

running Open competitions. It gives us

all a chance to visit another club and

compete with similarly skilled shooters,

as well as the best shooters. I encourage

all club members to enter an Open,

especially those close to home.

I attended the ISSF Open at Shepparton

where the club put on great weather

and a fine competition. It was well

worth the drive. A report is on page

27. Several others form Melbourne

made the long drive to Mildura and

thoroughly enjoyed the State Titles for

WA1500 and Service 25. Brett has

written a report about that

and also the recent Service Postal

Finals.

The ISSF World Cup was run 6-20th

September in Granada, Spain. I found a

result on line you maybe interested in;

50m pistol new World Record now 583

by Jongoh Jin of Korea.

If you are interested in coaching at club

level you will enjoy Karen’s article

about their experience at Horsham on

page 6.

Peninsula Pistol Club has experienced

some tragedies in recent weeks. A well

known long term member passed away

after a short illness, then their secretary

died suddenly. Tragic. Then, yesterday

we heard the terrible news that fire has

ravaged their club. If you are in a

position to offer assistance I’m sure it

would be gratefully received.

As normal this edition of VPN is being

sent via email to club secretaries who

can forward it to individual members.

If you would like to have a say please

See you on the range. Roger

W elcome to our new members

and the regular members as

well. Another issue already and the

year is closing fast.

On the shooting front VAPA has had a

problem with sneaky introduction of

legislation that could be interpreted as

harmful to our members if not queried,

and queried it was. The second reading

has been re-examined and the content

hopefully reworded for a better

interpretation.

The legislation in question is the

insertion into the firearms act of

schedule 5 a whole new addition that

deals with Carriage of firearms. NORI

forms, Juniors new shooting visits, and

other topics, to view see link below

The Postal Finals have been shot and

decided and if I may say a very

successful year as a competition and

the final series which were

held at various venues across

the state. Those that I attended were

well run and the participation and

cooperation was first class as was the

comradery shown between the

competing clubs. Well done Gary

Barnes.

—

The other discussion point is the

Greens senate inquiry to rid the

sporting sector of semi auto pistols.

Many excellent presentations have been

submitted to the committee however

my main concern is that the chair of the

committee is a greens senator, I

certainly hope we can count on the

integrity and fairness from the other

senators, because if they get this one

through, then its revolvers next and

after that Fishing is on their agenda.

Thank you to all the members who had

either sent submissions in or took part

in the compilation of submissions for

the senate hearing.

Congratulations to all our shooters in

all disciplines at Commonwealth

Games for their efforts and victories.

Management Matters by VAPA President Graeme Roberts


In July, 10 of us from Horsham pistol

club had a successful weekend at the

Mildura Open - winning lots of medals

in D grade!

To achieve our goal of taking over C

grade next year we decided to enlist

some help and get some official

coaching happening.

Will Crossman, who was a level 1 coach

and competed at Commonwealth

Shooting Federation Championships

and World Cup, provided his time,

experience and knowledge in a fun and

educational weekend at Horsham

recently.

Somehow between bacon and egg

burgers for brekky, BBQ lunches, tea

out, talking and laughing, we found

time to pick up a few tips.

The Basics It's always the basics that are so

important; grip, stance and front sight.

Grip.

Will came prepared with his electric file

and spent the first morning fine-tuning

everyone's grips. We now look like

e x p e r i e n c e d

shooters with our

individualised grips;

we just need to practice, practice,

practice to live up to the image.

Stance.

Stance; comfortable and stable. Try

practicing your stance with your eyes

closed, notice the wobble and try to

reduce it. An exercise you can fit into

many parts of your day.

Front Sight.

We all know "front sight", "look at the

front sight" and think that's what we

do, but I also know that I usually look

through the front sight, not AT the

front sight.

Will had an interesting exercise for us,


Coaching Weekend at Horsham by Karen Probst


putting a small scratch on our front

sight, and then getting us to shoot

focusing on the scratch. Very, very hard

and made a few of us realise we need

prescription glasses. Maybe Will has

shares in Spec Savers!

Even after butchering our grips and

scratching our sights, it was an

informative and helpful weekend and

we're looking forward to having Will

back for stage 2.

But until then it’s practice, practice,

practice…….

___

For any shooters who would like to

visit us, you are welcome. The range is

at the Dooen Recreation Reserve –

which also has the Motorbike Club and

go cart club. It’s about 5 minutes out of

Horsham heading out towards Dooen

(or Warracknabeal and Mildura if you

go way too far!!). It’s on the right hand

side (heading out of town), with a small

sign on the highway and then the



yellow sign about 20m off the road at

the gate.

We meet every Saturday at 1pm,

rotating on an eight-week cycle, the 5

ISSF events, Service Pistol (Restricted &

Unrestricted), Action Pistol (Los

Alamitos & Plates only). Also every

Wednesday night about 7pm for Air

Pistol.

We currently have in a grant

application to get lighting to our 50m

range and expect to hear in September

whether we were successful. Outdoor

lighting was on the agenda at the Club

about 20 years ago so

it will be really

exciting when it

finally goes ahead;

having power will be an additional

benefit, as we have a really really really

old generator that is starting to break

down a little bit more often than we

would like (not really good for those

who travel 1hr to get to Air Pistol). We

are steadily heading towards running

our own Open and showing off what

Horsham region has to offer, both for

shooting and otherwise.

Karen Probst

Secretary, Horsham Pistol Club.

You don't have to be a ‘dog person’ to truly

appreciate this -

I pulled into the crowded parking lot at the local shopping centre and rolled

down the car windows to make sure my Labrador Retriever pup had fresh

air. She was stretched full-out on the back seat and I wanted to impress upon her

that she must remain there. I walked to the kerb backward, pointing my finger at

the car and saying emphatically, "Now you stay. Do you hear me?"

"Stay! Stay!"

The driver of a nearby car, a pretty young blonde, gave me a strange look and

said, "Why don't you just put the handbrake on?" (thanks to G. Horton)

Latest from LRD (to new shooters get

used to the terminology it will appear

pretty regularly for ‘Licensing &

Regulation Division’) that 3 new Senior

Sergeants have been appointed and

they have been allocated different

portfolios, our contact is Snr Sgt

Andrew Armstrong for firearms and

the other 2 have duties covering ranges

and regulations, to which we were

informed that there will be more visits

to the clubs than before, a timely

reminder to get all your ducks in a row

so to speak.

Clubs look out for LRD newsletter

towards the end of year

This weekend gone was the WA 1500 &

Service Vic Titles and was a very good

presentation from Mildura Pistol Club,

Organized and well run resulting in a

good week end for the shooters and all

involved. Mildura will be hosts to the

ISSF State Championships and it

should be a great comp for all. Our

members will be impressed with the

area and facilities around Mildura and

I would recommend entering the State

Championships and having a

look. Results further on in the

newsletter


Judges Corners By Peter Davis, National Judge A

T here has been some conjecture as

to when a random spot check can

be made of a shooters pistol,

ammunition (where required) or any

other equipment they may be using for

that event.

Let’s start by saying that at an open

competition a shooter must present his/

her pistol and equipment to equipment

control prior to the start of the match.

Once a shooter has been through

equipment control he/she must not

alter anything, if they do they must re-

present at equipment control to be

rechecked.

As per the Pistol Australia General

technical rules:-

5.2.8. The Jury has the right to examine

the pistols, equipment, positions, etc. of

shooters at any time, even during the

competition. During the competition,

approach should not be made while the

shooter is firing a shot or a series of

shots. Immediate action must be taken

when a matter of safety is involved.

The Jury at National Championships is

made up of several Judges, however

any other competition this maybe only

one Judge.

What this means is that a Judge or, in

the absence of a Judge, a range officer

could do a random spot check on a

shooter and his equipment. This could

also mean that in the matches that

r e q u i r e a m m u n i t i o n t o b e

chronographed that this could be done

during the competition, although the

norm, is for this to be done after the

match is completed.

The above rule is

extracted out of the

PA GTR’s which can

be found on the

NRC web site and

down loaded.

2014 Junior Tri-State Competition by Paul Jenner

O n the morning of

Saturday 7th June,

Queens Birthday weekend,

eight Victorian Juniors, one

Coach and one Team

Manager braved an early

morning start to catch a flight

from Tullamarine to Sydney to

attend the 32nd Junior Tri State

Competition.

The Tri State is the highlight of the

junior training calendar bringing

together junior pistol shooters from

around the nation for training, fun,

bonding and friendly competition. The

Tri State is now in its 32nd year and its

great to see former Tri State

competitors competing at the top level

o f our sp or t in t h e Wor l d

Championships and Commonwealth

Games.

We arrived at Sydney International

Airport to be

greeted by our

h o s t s a n d

transferred to

Sydney Pistol

Club; this

was our home for the

weekend. The Victorian

Team had a good start being

the first team there and

securing prime sleeping

positions in the club house (the

floor) There was no rest for our

team as Alan Wattz (Coach)

interrupted the socialising for an

afternoon of training. It wasn’t long

before South Australia and NSW joined

in.

After an intense training session our

hosts organised for the Juniors to take a

tour of the facilities and workings of the

Westpac Rescue Chopper base, located

next door to the Club. After viewing the

Helic opter , c ontrol room and

equipment it was back to the club for a

superior dinner and then off to the next

adventure—The Vivid Light Show at

the Sydney Harbor.

The Light Show

was spectacular but

very crowded with

lots of people


watching; amazingly no juniors were

lost in the process of this visit (the

Victorian kids were amazed by the

double Decker trains)

Sunday morning after a bacon and egg

breakfast it was competition time.

Each junior shoots two competitions;

Air and Sport pistol with each state

submitting a team of eight shooters to

vie for bragging rights and the

perpetual Tri State trophy.

Club Captains were nominated as

follows

♦ Victoria Chloe Sewell

♦ S.A Morgan Petrie

♦ NSW Nathan Blackburn

After a solid day of competition scores

were tallied and after twelve years of

NSW dominating we congratulate

South Australia on their victory

followed closely by NSW and then

Victoria.

Thanks to all involved in running this

event. It is valuable light-hearted

opportunity for the future of our sport

to meet other junior shooters with the

same passion and I am sure life long

friendships have been made. Everyone

had a positive attitude and this made

the weekend a great experience for all.

The families and pistol clubs of the

attending juniors should be very proud

of these athletes.

With the 33rd Tri State competition to be

held over the Queens Birthday

weekend in South Australia I

encourage all junior shooter to get

involved. Paul Jenner.



Dear Editor

I ’ve only been shooting for a short

time and I love it. I wish I’d

discovered it earlier. It worries me that

the sport I have only just discovered is

subject of a Senate Enquiry. So I made a

submission. Here’s an edited version:

I was going to do some research and find

statistics on:-

♦ The number of hand guns that are

stolen from sporting shooters

♦ Where the guns come from that are used

in crimes

♦ the number of handguns owned by

sporting shooters that are used in crime

♦ Etc

But then I thought that lots of others are

probably doing the boring research and that

you would have those sort of statistics

anyway.

So what I want to do is tell my story.

I’m a girl from the suburbs and had no

contact with guns for the first 48 years of

my life. When I had young children, I

didn’t buy guns for them as I didn't want

to encourage “violence”. I was more in the

“anti gun” lobby and I still believe strongly

that there needs to be strong controls on

who can own guns, why, how they are

stored etc.

A couple of years ago I met my now fiancé

but, JJ was keen on guns � He spoke about

guns and rifle shooting and pistol shooting.

I found this a worry as guns are violent and

what sort of person gets into guns so

much?

However, I went to the pistol club with JJ

and discovered that the people there were

“normal” (if there is such a thing!). I had a

go! I touched a gun! I shot a gun! I had

another go, and another! Pistol shooting is

such a fantastic sport and I'm hooked. I love

the discipline, the will power, the calming

affect that shooting has.

My son is almost 13 years old. He is

addicted to computer and X-box games,

especially the shooting ones. I worry for my

son. I want him to learn coping skills. I

want to get him off the Xbox where the

games are so realistic and he uses machine

guns to shoot people.

Letters To The Editor


I’d much rather he learns to shoot a real

gun at paper targets. He has been coming to

pistol club with me. He has been having a

go at air pistol and even though he says it is

boring, he is starting to show pleasure

when he gets all the shots on the target, and

especially when he gets a bull eye.

He has also had a go using my .22 and

9mm semi autos which he enjoys a lot more

than the air pistol. And a sport needs to be

enjoyable.

Target shooters need to practice self control,

calm their breathing, look after their

equipment, be safe and learn to respect their

equipment.

I want my son to learn all these things. I

want him to learn to respect guns; to know

they are dangerous when used in the wrong

way; to learn how to treat them and use

them safely; to learn how to exercise the

discipline that is needed for precision target

shooting.

These are strengths that my son can learn

through pistol shooting. He can learn

determination and will power, self control

and respect for others. He can learn how to

set goals and to put into place steps to

achieve those goals.

Maybe one day I, or even better, my son

can emulate Daniel Repacholli or David

Chapman and win a medal for Australia at

the Commonwealth Games, at the World

Cup or at the Olympics.

Don’t penalise the responsible sporting

shooters just because irresponsible people

find illegal guns to commit crimes.

Over the last couple of years since taking

up pistol shooting I have noticed that the

sport tends to be male dominated. Maybe

this goes with the “red neck image” of guns

and shooting. But pistol shooting is such a

wonderful sport for females and youth. You

don’t need brawn; you need mental

discipline and dedication. I hope my son

will learn these skills and grow into a

responsible, compassionate adult and I’m

sure that pistol shooting will help him

develop those skills and make me a very

proud mum.

I t is with deep sorrow that Peninsula

Pistol Club marks the passing of John

Corrall after a short illness and stay in

hospital.

John was a mainstay of the Club, a regular

competitor in Club events, a holster

qualifier, coach and a very experienced

shooter. John was a very accomplished

gunsmith and was the walking

encyclopaedia on Smith and Wesson

revolvers and how to achieve the ultimate

in performance and accuracy.

Earlier in his life John formed a partnership

with Phil Blake to manufacture the Blacor

pistol many of these pistols are still in use in

competition today.

John started his interest in pistol shooting at

Melton Pistol Club in 1973 and I believe he

was one of the

foundation members

of the Club. He was

for many years Club

President.

John was also very

involved with the

VAPA Junior shooting

program combining his skills as coach and

communicator.

When John retired and purchased a caravan

park in Ararat he joined the Club in the

town. When he sold the park and

purchased a house in Bittern he joined

Peninsula. He will be deeply missed at the

Club.

Jack Pyne, Vice President, Peninsula Pistol

Club Inc

I t is with much shock that Peninsula

Pistol finds itself without a Club

Secretary after the sudden death of Bruce

Bassett, who died peacefully at home on

Tuesday night 2nd September.

Bruce has always been a keen hardworking

member of the Club. He took over the job

as secretary some twenty years ago, he has

always been the quiet achiever, whether it

was putting out regular newsletters to the

complete AGM mail out package.

Some years ago when Peninsula hosted the

Masters Games the organisers were so

i m p r e s s e d w i t h

Bruce’s computer

work that he had been

doing it for them ever

since. Bruce was also one of our band of

holster qualifiers also another major time

commitment.

Bruce will be greatly missed by all members

of the Club, and many members of the

committee are going to find that their

workload is about to increase.

W ell Mountain District won the

lottery and was awarded the

postal finals for Service and WA1500—

a total of six matches.

Now without being unfair there were a

few people nervous about Mountain

District’s range. In August it has been

known to be a bit cool and even the odd

shower of rain (some would say I am

the master of understatement).

Saturday morning dawns a little foggy

but by 8.15am the fog had lifted and the

sun was on its way and a few Mountain

District members breathed a collective

sigh of relief because good weather

helps to make a good shoot. As the first

detail is scheduled for 9.00am and there

is very little to do to make the range

ready, only put up the targets start the

compressor and get the squadding lists

on the board. The main setup had been

done the day before by a couple of

dedicated members.

With the competitors starting to roll in

teams required one member from each

team for the first detail in Service 25

and Service Pistol. Outtrim A,

Mountain District, Warragul-Drouin

and Springvale are the teams and prep

time begins. Thanks to a good turn up

the ranges ran like clockwork leaving

the shooters to do what they do best.

Well that was the plan.

Like a lot of competitions the scores

sometimes don’t reflect the intent of the

competitors, but by lunch time Service

Pistol had been run and won with

Service 25 well under way. After a

quick lunch break a shuffle of teams for

Unrestricted Springvale drops out and

Outtrim B steps in and Unrestricted is

underway. The sunshine actually has

some warmth in it and all is good. By

3.00pm all the shooting is done just the

scores to be finalized and a chat and a

thirst quencher to be had.

All that was left was to set up the range

for the next day and organize who was

turning up for dinner at the Chirnside

Park Country Club and a good time

was had by all.

Sunday started even better no fog at all

for a 10 o’clock start eight shooters on

the line and everything was running

smoothly.

That was until during a speed load one

competitor’s cylinder ends up on the

floor with one very confused

competitor. After a small delay and

some quick work he was back up and

running.

It was great to see non shooting

supporters from some of the competing

clubs in the crowd watching and in

It made me proud to be a Service/

WA1500 match shooter—they always

dig in and help.

Two quick details of WA 1500 Revolver

and it was done. Then it was on to WA

1500 Pistol. This kept the 50 yard range

busy while over on the 25 yard range

things were racing with some creative

squadding. It was down to the second

last detail when one particular

competitor had all sorts of issues in the

48 shot match—pulling one shot out of

the scoring area costing his team first

place (bugger).

The spectators were treated to some

great shooting across the teams. My

favourite was probably Ralph Motton

♦ 2nd Mountain District on 1897

♦ 3rd Springvale 1844 and

♦ 4th Outtrim B with 1836.

I think everyone had a tale to talk about

at the end of the day and all in all a

good time was had by one and all.

Even losing in the postal finals is better

I t was my first visit to Shepparton

Pistol Club and I wasn't

disappointed. It was 13-14th September

and their 2014 ISSF Open. Not only was

there a great gathering of shooters from

near and far but Shepparton turned on

wonderful weather too.

After a 200km drive from Melbourne

on Saturday morning to shoot Standard

Pistol at 8:30am I thought next time I

might arrive the night before and start

the comp fresh. Lesson learned.

Next, going through gun check at 7:30

it was off to familiarise myself with the

layout of the club and ranges.

Shepparton club is situated about 7km

out of town with the clubhouse and

ranges all under one roof. They tell me

its great not getting wet going between

ranges but on this weekend it didn't

matter. The weather was fine. With

four 25metre ranges (room for 64

shooters) a 22-bay 50metre range and a

15 bay air range they were well setup

for the Open.

Standard Pistol was shot first on the

25m ranges while some Air Pistol was

also shot on the air

range. After lunch we

had Centrefire precision then duelling,

combined with Sports Pistol.

For those who don't shoot Opens it is

an eye-opener to shoot five shots and

then have the range staff score and

patch targets while shooters relax

watching the scores being called. At

club level its often usual for 10 shots (or

more) to be shot before patching, but

not at Opens.

A highlight of attending Opens is

observing the higher grade shooters—

watch and learn. This Open had a

couple of shooters who had shot at the

highest international level and I

enjoyed seeing how they did it. The

proof is when the RO calls out

10,10,10,10,10 for 50 out of 50 more than

once. On the 50m range shooters walk

forward and change their own targets

which are scored in the scorers’ room.

After a good nights sleep at the local

caravan park it was back again for

Sunday morning to shoot Rapid Fire.

Others also shot Air and 50m Pistol.

More Quotes from Henry Ford:

“Coming together is the beginning. Keeping

together is progress. Working together is

success.”

“Quality means doing it right when no one is

looking.”

“Money is like an arm or leg- use it or lose it.”

“There is no person living who isn't capable of

doing more than they think they can do.”

“There are three things that grow more precious

with age; old wood to burn, old books to read,

and old friends to enjoy.”

“If you always do what you’ve always done,

you’ll always get what you’ve always got.”

I should mention that the range carpark

is a shooters’ delight—parking at the

door of the range is great when you

have left your ammo in the car!

Also, many families had set up

caravans and campers on the range

creating a fun holiday atmosphere.

After watching some great shooting it

was time for the presentations where

one club seemed to have more than

their fair share of success. Well done

Beaconsfield.

I should mention that shooters had

come from places like Outtrim,

Oakleigh, Yarra, Melton, Beaconsfield,

Warrnambool, Mid Murray,

Shepparton, Mountain District,

Mildura, Wagga Wagga, Echuca,

Benalla, Castlemaine, and more.

I did not shoot

my best but the

reason for

attending Opens

is to learn to

shoot in a

competitive

environment,

see some top

shooters (and

ask questions)

and make new

friends. So

from that respect it was a good

weekend. Thanks to Shepparton Pistol

Club and all those who made it a great

weekend. I will be back.

R.W.

Not all the range staff had two legs. Shame he didn't have muffs though.


I t was 7.00 am at Mildura PC with

the smell of bacon and eggs and

coffee wafting through the air. All was

well so far with the quiet hum of things

running smoothly under blue skies

with a slight chill in the air. Except for

a couple of small issues—like ‘they let

the South Australians in’ (ha ha).

Equipment control runs smoothly

thanks to skilled and dedicated judges

(and the fact that Service & WA1500

guns are pretty straight forward).

People in the first detail are given

priority and when you walk onto the

range it all just seems to have

happened. Ranges are ready to go; just

clip up targets, put your name stickers

on and wait for the range officer to get

the ball rolling. The

scores start coming and the scoring staff

get their chance to keep the punters

happy. The only slight issue is that for

the WA 1500 matches the competitors

need to remember that they score the

targets of the competitors next to them.

Once this was sorted and the shooters

were reminded things ran smoothly.

Some of the more experienced shooters

were on hand to help the newer

shooters with some of the scoring

issues—this also helped things run

smoothly.

By lunch time there was a wailing wall

up and running with some of the

competitors spending a bit of time

Shooters enjoyed breakfast & lunch at the club.


either smiling at how well they did

while others were lamenting what

might have been. One thing most of

them found out is that you cannot

change what you did.

Lunch time was well catered for with

nobody going hungry and the day was

done and dusted by 4.30pm. The day

had seen some of the funniest things

happening. Numerous people having

speed loading issues—not all

inexperienced shooters either. One was

a State team member (that didn’t get

loaded), some getting loaded and some

not, leaving big holes in their scores.

One holster ending up a little way

down the range which was funny for

the onlookers but not so for the

competitor and he copped plenty of

ribbing for it. This highlights the

requirement to buy top equipment or

be prepared to modify what you have

or cop the flack.

Sunday dawned pretty much the same

as Saturday just a little bit warmer not

hot but warmer. From my point of

view the weather got hot but not the

scores. Having said that, scores of 880 +

were achieved in un-restricted and

there was plenty over 870. So it was

good for some, and congratulations to

those that were happy with their scores.

There were some PB’s shot and serious

grade competition with good hearted

banter about who was buying the

drinks. It was good to see some new

faces from Victoria, well new to me,

these shooters showed some potential

for the future. All in all a good time

was had and it was a good turnout

some 34 odd competitors travelled from

near and far to make it the successful

event that it was. Brett.

More Distractions — Just For Fun

The Divorce

A judge was interviewing a woman regarding her pending divorce,

and asked, "What are the grounds for your divorce?"

She replied, "About four acres and a nice little home in the middle of the

property with a stream running by."

"No," he said, "I mean what is the foundation of this case?"

"It is made of concrete, brick and mortar," she responded.

"I mean," he continued, "What are your relations like?"

"I have an aunt and uncle living here in town, and so do my husband's parents."

The judge said, "Do you have a real grudge?"

"No," she replied, "We have a two-car carport and have never really needed one."

"Please," he tried again, "is there any infidelity in your marriage?"

"Yes, both my son and daughter have stereo sets. We don't necessarily like the

music, but the answer to your questions is yes."

"Ma'am, does your husband ever beat you up?"

"Yes," she responded, "about twice a week he gets up earlier than I do."

Finally, in frustration, the judge asked, "Lady, why do you want a divorce?"

"Oh, I don't want a divorce," she replied.

"I've never wanted a divorce. My husband does.

He said he can't communicate with me."
