1962 IKTERSATIONAL MATCH. 

The A.C.T.A. is pleased to acknowledge 

receipt of the following congratulatory 

letter from the English 

Clay Pigeon Shooting Associatioil ill 

London. The letter, mr~tten under 

the date of July 16, 1962, reads: 

"Mackintosh Trophy" 

"This is to confirm our international 

telegram giving the results of

For 1963, the home teams will be

It will be noted that Cdnadd, \viiiners 

in 1960, did not submlt an entry 

in 1962. But there were probably 

good reasons for this. 

Another important feature of the 

success by Australia in 1962 is that 

the ,\.in was gained with a record 

I\-inning margin and also a record 

score under the present points system 

oi deciding the winning combination. 

As has been previously mentioned, 

the Australian Team of 1962 lost 

only 37 targets in 3000 and dropped 

only 236 points in a poss~ble 9000

APPLICATIONS FOR 1963 OPEN 

CHABLPIONSHIPS. Clubs interested 

are again reminded that applicatiolls 

for 1963 open championships, i.e. 

Comnion~vealth, State and District 

Championships, should be lodged with 

the Secretary, A.C.T.A., Box 2038 S, 

G.P.O., 'Melbourne, C.1, not later 

than Monday, September 10, 1962. 

In connection with Commonwealth 

titles, (clay sparrow and clay pigeon) 

\\.ill in future probably be allocated 

on a roster system. Copy of the pro- 

posed roster as it will apply in the 

various States is published (Com- 

moii~vealth titles only) elsewhere in 

this issue. The Executive Committee 

will probably retain this roster for 

the 1963 allocation and the ensuing. 

years. The roster published is quite 

easy to follow and its observance by 

clubs should simplify both appliea- 

lions and ultimate allocation.

INCORRECT DECISIONS. Recently 

two reports were received by 

the Association ....................... of incorrect d~ri~inns 

given by official referees. In the cases 

referred to. one shooter usincz an 

under-and-over gun and the othzr an 

automatic, claimed misfires. The 

referees concerned took over +he 

guns in each instance, placed then, 

to the shoulder and pulled the trigger. 

In each case the gun fired, and 

in each case the referee gave the 

shooter another target. These decisions 

were completely wrong and 

it was wondered by other shooters 

present that no one protested on the 

referee's ruling. What apparently 

happened was that the shooters, in 

each case, froze on the trigger and 

then claimed their guns would not 

fire. Official referees should make 

very certain that they have a complete 

knowledge of the Rules.

A report from 

America advises 

that a clay tar- 

get shooting film, 

or at least a film 

basically on the 

sport of clay tar- 

get shooting, is 

about to be re- 

leased for general 

distribution in 

U.S.A. and 

abroad. The film 

is a commercial 

enterprise and is 

believed the first of its kind. It is a 

Bill Stern Columbia Pictures sports 

film and features Remington Arms 

Co. personnel and products in a 

series of camera close-ups of all 

folms of clay target shooting. The 

film is already in distribution among 

the U.S.A. Armed Forces. The pic- 

ture covers scenes at the 1961 Grand 

American series at Vandalia, Ohio, 

night shooting (trap), hand - thrown 

trapshooting, skeet an d practice 

shooting off the stern of a power 

cruiser in Biscayne Bay, Miami. The 

name of the film is "ON TARGET",. 

and all interested are advised to 

watch for its release in the respect- 

ive areas of the Commonwealth - it 

should be of great interest to Aus- 

tralian clay target shooters, the initial 

film made for theatrical release. 

Apsley Gun Club, named as the 

"most western club in Victoria", close 

to the South Australian border. has 

issued a syllabus for club shoots 

during the ensuing six months. In- 

cluded among the events listed are 

the Victorian State Double-rise title 

on August 18. The Kowree & Border 

District Nizht D.B. title will he 

decided on October 27, and this will 

be preceded by a $120 Trophy Han- 

dicap on the afternoon of the same 

day. The similar day double - barrel 

title will be decided on November 24. 

The Victorian State Double-rise title 

at clay sparrows has been arranged 

for Saturday night, November 24. 

The club's Christmas Shoot will be 

held on Friday night, December 21. 

Secretary at Apsley is Athol Miller, 

SEPTEMBER, 1961 

"Tips and Tails" 

named. 

Occasionally statements are mad; 

that rifle shooting slows a shooter 

up when it comes to smooth bore 

shooting, similarly that gun shooting 

is detrimental to the rifle shooter, 

or that seldom is anyone capable of 

excelling with both types of weapons; 

This may be tiue, or otherwise, on 

account of physical 'make-up: 

temperament, it could 'appear; that 

certain individuals have an aptitude 

which favours one form of shootid@ 

more than the other. Hqwever, skill 

with weapons depends to a marked 

extent on general good health, quick; 

ness of mental and physical reaction* 

and, basically, good eyesight. These 

attributes are never the same in any 

two individuals, neither are there 

any particular degrees of skill with 

either the gun or rifle, or both.

district, has re-affiliated with the

the balance of the programme. De-

Apparently a good time was had 

by all at the recent St. George Club 

two-day shoot in Western Queens- 

land. Reports to hand indicate that 

the shooting was excellent, the traps 

very fast, and John Raleigh proved 

the best of a bia field. President of 

St. George Club; Boyce Siddins, and 

Mrs. S~ddins entertained all the vim- 

tors that could be found at a dinner 

at the Australia Hotel in St. George 

prior to the opening of shooting. 

A Calcutta run by the club is re- 

ported to be one of the best ever, 

with a gross of over .£1,000 being 

realised. A duck shoot on Boyce 

Siddins' property at "Lower Plains" 

completed an excellent weelc-end of 

entertainment for all who ventured 

so far west. St. George Club, as a 

matter of interest, was the first club 

outside Victoria to affiliate with the 

A.C.T.A., or the A.C.P.T.S.A. as it 

was then known. 

A new club is likely to be formed 

at Mirani, near Maclcay in North 

Queensland. A few enthusiasts have 

banded together and approached the 

A.C.T.A. regarding future develop- 

ment. C. J. George, of Mirani, via 

Mackay, N. Queensland, is the or-

The South Australian Gun Club, 

which shoots at Undo Road, Bolivar, In a small book called "Insect Fact

September 15 and 16. Shootine will ing of ordinary flies. The book instirt 

on the opening date at 1~~30"~.~~; dicates that a pair of flies beginning 

when the Adelaide Plains D.B. title operations in the spring might be the 

progenitors, if all were to live, of 

191,010,000,000,000,000,000 flies by 

mid-summer. Allowing one-eighth of 

a cubic inch per fly, this number 

would cover the earth forty-seven 

feet deep! 

Another possible ney affiliation 

with the A.C.T.A. 1s the Hagen Gun

The fox is known as a wanton 

killer at all times, and a vixen, with 

clubs, is especially vicious in this 

regard. The fox will attack hares, 

rabbits, ducks, geese, poultry, lambs, 

rats, frogs, fish, beetles and game 

birds. Notwithstanding his wanton 

habits, the fox is a most adaptable 

animal and is equally at home in

BERT WALKER. 

36 North Street, 

Ascot Vale, 

23/7/62. 

The Editor, 

Clay Target Shooting News. 

Dear Sir, 

There has been conjecture for some 

time on the comparative standards of 

Skeet shooting in New Zealand and 

Anstmlla. It may therefore he of 

interest to readers to know that a 

telegraphic match was shot between 

the Auckland (N.Z.) club and the 

Australian (V.) club on Saturday, 

16/7/62. 

Each club Was represented by two 

teams who each shot at 260 birds. 

The match resulted in a tie between 

the two No. 1 teams, each club shooting 

233/250; however, Auckland No. 

2 team lead Aust. (V.) No. 2 team 

by 231 to 217. 

These scores were somewhat lower 

than expected, as club performances 

are usually higher than those above; 

however, tension probably played a 

nart. - 

Of course, the Auckland teams 

were not drawn from the whole of 

N.Z. just as the Aust. (V.) teams 

were- only drawn from a sector of 

Aust.; however, it would appear that 

present Australian Slreet standards 

ale comparable with those in N.Z. 

Yours faithiully, 

ROY FALLSHAW.
