Dear friend shooters, You have entered the World Sporting championship which takes place in Warrnambool, Australia from November 19th to 22nd, 2009 and we congratulate you for your participation!
Due to a decision of the Australian Government, competitors in the 2009 FITASC Sporting World Championships will not be allowed to import Semi-Automatic Shotguns into Australia. This decision was received on 12th August 2009 from The Australian Minister for Home Affairs.
Non Australian competitors are reminded that they must complete two applications for entry of themselves and their firearms into Australia:
1 INTERNATIONAL VISITORS FIREARMS PERMIT
This form is available on the FITASC Sporting World Championships website under GUNS & AMMO.
It must be sent either by fax or by email direct to:
Victorian Firearms Licencing Services
Email :licensingservices@police.vic.gov.au
Facsimile +61 3 9247 6485
2 PERSONAL AND FIREARMS DETAILS TO BE FORWARDED FOR AUSTRALIAN CUSTOMS
This form is also available on the FITASC website and must be forwarded either by fax or by email to:
Mr Ray McFarlane
Email: raymcf@pipeline.com.au
Facsimile + 61-3-52502173
They must be forwarded at least 6 weeks prior to the competition to allow for processing, so before October 1st 2009.
We inform you that any entry cancellation of non Australian shooters, received at Fitasc by September 7th, owing to the banning from importing semi-automatic shotguns, will be entitled to a total refund of the entry.
Yours in sport.
Fitasc Administration

| ISSF events at Zones |

2009-06-16 11:44 |
From NZCTA Keith Livingstone Director ISSF;
Following consultation between clubs with ISSF facilities and NZSF, the NZCTA executive has temporarily suspended double trap and ISSF skeet from all zone matches only from 1/1/10 until competitor numbers increase at future ISSF competitions.
ISSF skeet can be reinstated from 1/1/10 if sufficient numbers of athletes commit to competing in this discipline at specific zone matches and at forthcoming ISSF matches in 2009.
Would any competitor new or existing interested in ISSF skeet in the future please contact Paul Wilson (021 458701), who is compiling a list of future competitors, and if sufficient numbers of competitors voice their opinion, the NZCTA executive will review its position.
Similarly if any potential double trap competitors show any interest they should contact myself and the same position will apply.

| Congratulations to Dave Alley 5th., in the open section, and Robbie Smith 3rd. in Super Vets, in the FITASC Oceania Cup. The Oceania Cup is contested annually between the Grand Prix of Australia and the Oceania Championship recently held in Rotorua. It is invisiged that N.Z, will be holding a Grand Prix next year allowing local shooters a better chance to compete. One will be able to choose between Grand Prix's but it will be compulsory to shoot the Oceania match. Again congratulations a huge effort against the best of Oceania. |

| Oceania '09 |
Kerran Jamieson Madden |
2009-04-03 12:48 |
Just a public comment to thank Rotorua G.C. for the absolutely superb effort during last weeks Oceania Sporting event. To say it was a success would be an understatement, it would have to rate as one of the best Sporting shoots N.Z. has ever hosted. 171 shooters lined up for 8 old style FITASC Parcour’s with targets ranging from 3 metres to 60-70+ and not one flying straight or level. A sporting purists dream. New club house extensions, you could smell the fresh paint, new bar and kitchen and a large new deck out front, an absolute credit to Geoff x 2, Tony, Lindsay and Kersty, Mike and son Wayne and John B. Tony Truss’s hand scroll written scoreboard typical of the attention to detail this shoot was about.
A special thanks to Ray McFarlane (FITASC Vice President) who came over a few days early and helped Geoff, Rob Currathers and myself with the final target settings (the Club members had done all the hard work and had traps on every hillside and in every gully all over the place) it was a real pleasure to work with Ray, he has forgotten more than we have ever learnt, and his little subtleties with traps and menu settings was a great lesson for us for the future. It made my week.
Not one aspect of the event from food, bar, shelter, seating, targets and signage could be faulted. I think the Aussies arrived thinking they knew how to run a good event and left, winners Oh yes!!, but thinking they had to play catch up to top this shoot next year in South Australia.

Shooters attending the 5-stand and Sporting Clay Nationals PLEASE don't forget to bring your handicap books and firearm licences's. Any shooter attending without their book will automatically be put in the top class for that event as per the rules, no agruement, no exceptions. TVDA have been working tirelessly for months on this event, new traps, virgin ground and new targets set with the help of Albie Hansen and the TVDA crew. There are over 100 shooters entered for the main events with a good showing from Aussie, it's not to late to enter.

| Woodville 200 DTL shoot |
Ray Russell |
2009-01-15 14:20 |
| The ad in Gunshot for the Woodville Clay Target Club shoot sponsored by Target Products on Sunday 1 February is wrong. The shoot is 200 targets (not 100) shot in 4 lots of 50 targets. There is a $2 sweep on each 50 and over the 200. Sashes for all grades. My phone number is also wrong - it should read 06 354 7284. Look forward to seeing lots of happy shooters. |

Have a look at the below U-Tube, once you get thru the first couple of minutes it becomes really interesting with super slow motion of a shotgun cartridge out of the barrel and shot hitting the clay.

As it's nearing the end of the year it's time to start sorting out next years programmes, and as you know I try to keep a fairly comprehensive sporting calendar on the web. As sporting/compact clubs finalise their programmes for '09 could they please foward them to me for inclusion on the Sporting Clays web page.
I am happy for them to just send me their shooting programme book or their Clubs web address, and I'll do the trawling for sporting dates. They can post their books to me at home:

John McCormick |
2008-10-05 21:46 |
| Some years ago there were machines around to recover lead shot from clay target ranges. Does anyone know if they are still about or if there is any other way of picking up accumulated shot ? With the current price of lead this may be a worthwhile exercise. If anyone can help please contact me at spidey@ihug.co.nz or 0276673146 |
