NZ ISSF Highgun - following a discussion with Keith Livingstone (NZCTA President), Trevor Manson (NZCTA President Elect) and Adrienne Sears (NZCTA Exec. Officer) today I have withdrawn both the ISSF Trap & ISSF Skeet throphies from the NZCTA.
This decision followed the NZCTA's arbituary decision to not award the trophies or sashes at the 2013 ISSF Nationals.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the ISSF shooters of NZ for their support of the trophies I donated back in 1989 and wish them "Good Luck" with the NZCTA leading the sport.

| NZ NSSA Championships - Sub Gauge Skeet |
Matt Fallon |
2012-09-07 15:13 |
There will be an event held at the Thames Gun Club the weekend prior to the Skeet Nationals this November.
The primary event will be 4x100 skeet using 12g, 20,g, 28g and .410 across 2 days.
We also have spaces available for shooters who are not NSSA members or aren't able to shoot all 4 gauges.
Also if people want to shoot all 4 gauges but don't have the equipment we have a limited amount of equipment that we can load, so please get in touch if you'd like to participate.
Entry is $45 per 100, and there will be a BBQ put on by Thames GC on the Saturday when shooting concludes. The estimated prize fund is expected to be more than $2000.
This is the first opportunity to get your name on the trophy which will be shot for every year, so this is a great opportunity to get your name on the cup first!
For more information on the event to go http://www.mynssa.co.nz/nznssachamps.htm or contact me on 021 641 412

Hamish, I fully agree with you that this is very very disappointing for Natalie, however questions do need to be asked as to how this occurred as I better than most have a clear understanding of this process, having been involved since 1988!
The only quota that shooting won was at Oceania in 2011 and it was in a rifle event. In line with NZ Shooting Federation policy, the quota is to be used in the section it was won in if at all possible e.g. rifle (refer to the link below and download the shooting selection criteria). If there is no one qualified in that section, then it can be used by another section should they have any athelete's who have met the selection criteria e.g. pistol or shotgun. Shotgun was the only section that had anyone who had met the qualifying criteria that being Natalie Rooney & Jack Norwood, with Natalie being higher ranked than Jack, therefore Natalie's nomination was correct, however my questions are as follows:
(http://www.olympic.org.nz/nzoc/london-2012)
1. Ryan Taylor had met the Qualifying Criteria so why was he not officially nominated?
2. If Ryan Taylor was officially nominated, why did the NZOC decline his nomination, only to support his appeal for inclusion later on? Was this because someone left out vital information in his initial nomination?
3. If Ryan Taylor had met the selection criteria (as agreed by NZOC & NZSF) and had been officially nominated, why was more effort not made to change the NZOC's decision of rejection in the first instance, especially seeing that they UNANIMOUSLY supported his appeal?
4. Who made the decision and why was it made to convert the quota from Rifle to Shotgun, when it would have been known that an appeal was going to take place?
I for one would like to know the why this happened and why Natalie Rooney had to go thru the elation of making the team only to then go thru the bitter disappointment of missing out, when if NZSF policy had been followed, Ryan Taylor would have been nominated, accepted and then had a proper buildup for the games.
While I would love nothing more than to have NZ Clay Target Shooting represented at the London Games, we do have policies & procedures to ensure we do the "Right Thing". I just want to know, "Did we do The Right Thing" in this process? Remember, one day it could be your Son, Daughter, Grandchild etc. who goes thru this.
Good Luck Ryan, enjoy and do us proud.
Regards
Brant Woodward

| Well I might as well come out and say what a lot of people are thinking and say tough luck to Natalie Rooney for being 'bumped' out of the olympics. I can't imagine how frustrated she must feel at the moment. We all know Nat had obviously put in all the effort required to get there and to have her place 'snaffled' by another shooter would have most questioning, amongst other things, how!! Keep at it and we will see you back on the mark soon enough with luck!! |

| 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 Club apologises for any inconvenience that cancellation might cause.

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.

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?? |
