Transit Signs Hamish Wilson 2011-11-14 20:24
I am currently in dicussions with Transit New Zealand and why they don't think that gun clubs ougt to be sign posted or have any signage at all. They seem to think it's fine for golf clubs, tennis clubs, racecourses, winery's etc but not gun clubs or shooting grounds. I have not been to that many clubs around the country but I am told by Transit that there are none that are sign posted....thinking there are!!!So long story short if you know of a club that is can you please let me know and/or send me photo of it to claireandhamish@ihug.co.nz. Thanks muchly!!!

The Wakatipu Clay Target Club has cancelled its Labour weekend 300 target Points Score event.

That cancellation was advertised at the Bodkin Sheild in Wanaka.

The Club apologises for any inconvenience that cancellation might cause.

All other Wakatipu Club events continue as advertised in the Otago Southland programme booklet, including the Central Otago Compak championships on the 17th of October.

S.I. North Zone Sporting Kerran Jamieson Madden 2010-06-13 13:49
All those that are thinking of going to the North Zone South Island Sporting Champs in Awatere Valley (Blenheim) would you be so kind as to register your intention. The on-line registration is on the Sporting Clay page: http://sporting.nzclaytarget.org.nz/si-nzone-sporting/#more-846. It is not an 'official' registration as such, but rather an indication of numbers that will be attending so the Club can cater, We will be running 4 old style fields, so to get thru we will need to start early both days, some more info will be in the Gunshot, and later on this forum.

Sub Gauge Events at Nationals Hamish Wilson 2010-06-13 13:07
Thanks for your reply Dean.
I understand that outside the mandated events you can, as a host club, run any event in the build up to the Nationals.

Perhaps it's time for a serious look at the mandated program.

As the sport is evolving and becoming more and more popular perhaps the program should be expanded to inclue all events such as 410 and a 28g match. Next year we might not be as lucky to have a 400 target NSSA shoot the weekend before.

How about adding the 20g to the Highgun and adding the 410 and 28g as National Championship events??

Reply from Dean Everett, President, Waikato Clay Target Club:

Regarding Sub Gauge events at 2010 New Zealand Skeet Nationals to be held at Waikato Clay Target Club from 23th Nov – 28th Nov 2010.

The program for NZ National Championships is set by NZCTA council and consists of 20g National Championship on Wed, a 100 tgt Skeet Nth Sth qualifying on Thurs, National Handicap Championship on Fri, National Skeet on Sat, and National Doubles on Sun.

Host clubs determine any other events that they choose to run prior to Nationals starting.

This year at Waikato Clay Target Club, we are working with Thames Clay Target Club who will be hosting an Sub Gauge extravaganza, including all sub gauge events, on the weekend prior to the Nationals starting. Waikato Clay Target Club will then have two trophy matches on Tuesday which will be 50 targets 20g Skeet Trophy, which we see as an eye opener for the National Championship the following day, plus a 50 target Doubles trophy event – you can never have enough doubles.

Some of the thought about having 20g and Doubles is that most shooters are able to participate in this event, we are considering Australians travelling across to compete in our events, and want to give them maximum opportunity to compete on Waikato Clay Target grounds.

Thames Clay Target Club has just become registered as a NSSA ground, so any targets shot in sub gauges there will be able to be registered with NSSA, this was seen to be the best solution for promoting Sub gauge events and sharing the load of running major events.

Look forward to seeing you at Waikato Clay Target Club, please be early as entry could be limited due to time constraints.

Regards

Dean Everett

President

Waikato Clay Target Club.

2010 Skeet Nationals Hamish Wilson 2010-05-31 20:23
I must say that I read with disappointment the proposed programme for the 2010 Skeet Nationals. What has become of the 410 and 28g events?? Some may argue that these are novelty events but to those that look forward to the Nationals each year, will be as disappointed as I am to see they have been omitted from the programme.

Why have they been omitted??

I wonder the merits of having two 50 target doubles matches as opposed to have the sub gauge events. And further to that two 20g events?

Are we that out of tune with the rest of the world that we think that this is a progressive move within the sport. With the ground swell in NSSA shooters within Australasia and the greater NSSA "zone 8" surely we are be a little short sighted with this programme.

How are we able to encourage interest in the sub gauge events if they are removed from the programme. At the 2009 Skeet Nationals there was surprise at the number that supported the sub gauge events.

Is there any chance that this can be re visited?

I have been asked by Scott Stonex of Reloaders Supplies to post the sad news that Ron Dent passed away yesterday on 5th May after a short illness.
Ron was a "big" man in every sense, generous to a fault in his support of clay target shooting.
He will be sorely missed.
