BoDkIn ShIelD wInS
Twenty two teams of 6 shooters contested this year’s Bodkin
Shield shoot hosted by the Wanaka Gun Club on Saturday 20th
August. The Bodkin Shield match requires 6 shooters registered with
the same Club to shoot 15 targets of 15m. How many times would
the average shooter knock over those 15 targets had they been shot
on a Club day? Tommy Arthur and his crew were presented with
each Club’s teams to be reorganised into the mixed shooting squads
for the main event. Teams from Darfield through to Invercargill
stepped up to the mark in sunny calm conditions and away we
went. The huddle around the score board grew as those who had
managed their possible waited to see how Club mates had fared.
Plenty of handshakes from relieved team mates as the red chalk got
posted and the catch phrase of ‘no pressure’ was banded about. With
most of the scores in, there were a few teams with a ‘one down’ score
so the final shooters were crucial to the outcome. Oamaru-Waimate Lachlan Woods Wanaka (Jnr) Cameron Meikle Wanaka

down to watch Ray Anderson, our anchor man, shoot the last 15 and Wanaka grounds
as I approached his field I saw Ray fire two shots and his shoulders
slump, so turned and headed back to the board convinced he had
just dropped one. After spreading the ‘good’ news I was humbled
to find out Ray hadn’t missed at all and that the Wanaka Club had
a clean sheet 90/90. We had won and in the best possible way. The
team was Jerry Cray, Phil Studholme, Cameron Meikle, Rex Smart,
Denis Nyhon and Ray Anderson. A special mention and thank you
to all the young lads from their various schools who pitched in and
helped with the pick-ups etc, it was great to see, also to all those
shooters who offered their congratulations to the Club; believe me
it isn’t easy running the shoot and trying to defend the Shield but
we’ll be more practised next year. Photos courtesy of Andy Woods,

the sponsor’s fine product on behalf of the winners who were still
juniors, just rewards for paying for their entries every shoot.
We also had 50 Tgt Ball Trap sweep for the shooters not
shooting Skeet and for the Skeet shooters that just don’t want to
stop pulling the trigger. The best score of the day was Peter Peryer
and Tim Anstey shooting 45’s taking first equal A grade and third
was Chris Parkinson on 42. B. Hunt shot the best B grade score with B Grade 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the Hull/Blaser 100 target skeet competition

on 38. C grade was taken out by Sam Donald on 27, followed by
Deborah Pritchard with 13, shooting Ball Trap for the first time.
Sunday 11th September saw 25 shooters for the day, 23
shooting the Hull Cartridges and Blaser Skeet event, which is shot
in grades.
The highest score of the day with 94’s was shot by Blue Freeman
and Murray Cameron, but with Murray opting out of the trophy
entry, High Overall went to Blue Freeman. Three 92’s had to shoot
off to determine the places in A grade with NZCTA President, Keith
Livingstone coming out the victor with first A grade, followed by
Chris Parkinson and Dave Turner, second and third respectively.
The B grade was also shot off with scores of 92, with Greg Bentley
winning first B grade from Phil Bazalo and regular visitor, Keith
Zehnder taking third B grade on 89. C Grade 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the Hull/Blaser 100 target skeet competition

took second C Grade on 84 with third C Grade going to Bruce

A 50 Tgt Ball Trap sweep was again on offer for the diehards
with the following results. Tim Anstey again posted the best score
in A grade with 44, followed by Chris Parkinson on 40 and Greg
Bentley on 39. Jamie Cane was first in the B grade on 41, second B
grade was Don Staples on 39 and third equal was Dave Gwerder
and Dave Donald on 37’s. Bruce Scott won the C grade on 33, from
John Donald taking second with 30 Sam Donald third on 28.

this match incorporated no fewer than three events:
the Alan smith 100 Dtl, the shotstream Cup over the
2nd 25 and the love Cup over the 3rd 25.
Winners of the Love Cup Chris Erceg, Maurice Bourke, John
Hendriks, Andrew Caldwell-Smith and Mason Reed
We have found that running events like this makes for ‘Rich’
contests in which as much as possible incentive is presented to
attend. Also as the three events were all team matches this made
for some interesting scoring. Thanks to secretary Toni Gee and
helper Annette Erceg for doing some very complicated sweeps
and results (and to present it all on time).
We had a good turnout of some eight squads in spite of the fact
that the weather forecast was a bit doubtful. It stayed dry almost
the whole day and the rain did not start until all was packed up.
Maybe because the light was quite changeable, there were not
many possibles, but the usual suspects managed to get their team
in front.
Results:
Love Cup: winners: Andrew Caldwell–Smith, Mason Reid, Chris C Grade winners: Sam Reed, Marshall Harman and Daniel Babe

School chaMpS
the 2011 North Island and National secondary school Championships were
held at the Waikato Clay target Club from 8-10 October with approximately
320 shooters attending.
This year’s championships were held two weeks later than
usual due to the Rugby World Club and the change of the school
calendar year. One advantage was the shooters didn’t have to deal
with the change of Daylight Savings, I’m sure they were pleased
about that.
Day one produced 318 shooters, 289 boys and 29 girls, this
comprised 28 schools and 9 composite teams. This was up on last
year when 296 competitors attended Christchurch. The weather
was sunny and warm with a sneaky breeze which caused havoc
for some shooters; not so for Waiuku College shooter Shawn Sands
who took out HOA on a score of 89/90 and Jessica Sutherland from
Craighead Diocesan School with 88/90 for the girls HOA.
The day ran smoothly with the assistance of the Waikato Clay
Target Club, traps being loaded by designated schools, teams
backing up and being on the mark on time and having Dave North Island Single Rise HOA New Zealand High Gun Boys

The day saw 65 possibles in the North Island Single Rise Event
having to shoot off for a placing - Boys H.O.A was Devon Da Silva,
1st Cameron Muggeridge, 2nd Gavin Wenham, 3rd James Abbiss,
4th Ben Bringans, 5th Mark Gow, 6th Liam Buchanan, 7th Shawn
Sands, 8th Max Buchanan, 9th Bevan Ross and 10th place going
to Glen Lynn. For the girls we saw 1st place taken out by Jessica
Sutherland, 2nd Nicole Saunderson, 3rd Bella Hargest-Slade, 4th
Claire Douglas and 5th Alysha Bell. Some great shooting by Jessica
and Nicole who were shooting off in the last 5 of the Single Rise
shoot off, shows they are up there with the boys.
The North Island Points Score event only saw 4 possibles for
the day on 60/60 to shoot off to establish the placings which were
as follows: - HOA Sean Collinson-Smith, 1st Andrew Simpson, 2nd
Andrew Harris and 3rd going to Conway Mildon. New Zealand Single Barrel New Zealand Points Score
The Teams event is always a hard event hoping each individual HOA Brody Clark HOA Gavin Wenham
shooter can pull together as a team and all shoot well at the same
time. Having the home advantage, Hamilton Boys’ High 1 managed
to win outright with a score of 289/300. Following not too far
behind was Tauranga Boys’ and St Paul’s Collegiate both on 282 but
after a shoot off we saw Tauranga Boys’ take 2nd place and St Paul’s
Collegiate 3rd. The girl’s teams saw Craighead Diocesan Blue take
1st place with 165/180 followed closely by Craighead Diocesan
Yellow on 163 then Hauraki Plains College on 135 for 3rd place.
The last event was the North Island Single Barrel which saw
29 possibles for the day and after a shoot off saw Cameron
Muggeridge take HOA with Liam Buchanan 1st, Shawn Sands 2nd
and George Butterick 3rd.
Day two Sunday was again warm and sunny and saw a few
people end up getting sunburnt. As the day went on we also had
a mischievous wind that raised its head just to make things a little North Island Points Score Team winners, Hamilton Boys’ High
more interesting and we saw some shooters frustrated with their No 1 (L-R) Cameron Muggeridge, Andrew Muggeridge, Logan

shooters compete, all hoping to shoot their best and have the

The NZ Single Rise Championship saw again around 50 possibles
to shoot off with Jono Tod taking HOA, 1st Gavin Wenham, 2nd
William Rooney, 3rd Harry McCloud, 4th Cameron Muggeridge,
5th Adam Fulford, 6th Devon Da Silva, 7th Todd McCormick, 8th

take 1st place followed by Samantha Dickey 2nd, Alysha Bell 3rd,
Claire Douglas 4th and Jessica Sutherland 5th.
The NZ Point score and Teams event was once again contested
well and saw Gavin Wenham from Hauraki Plains take out HOA,

In the Teams Palmerston North Boys High (PNBH) shot 290/300
only 10 points down, a great effort and some fine shooting, 2nd

behind with 277, they also won the Two Day Teams Trophy. The
girls’ teams saw Craighead Diocesan Yellow take 1st place on a

Beretta NZ are a major supporter of the NZ Clay Target Connor Harrigan
Association and we were pleased to be able to offer, through the
generous sponsorship from Beretta NZ, two Beretta 686 Trap Guns
for the two day High Gun, one for the boys and one for the girls.
This magnificent prize must have inspired many of the competitors
to achieve their personal best scores.
The boys’ Beretta High Gun was won by William Rooney after
a shoot off with Cameron Muggeridge, Shawn Sands and Matt
Lynch who were all only four points down for the weekend, sitting
on 176/180, certainly a great effort by them all. The girls’ Beretta
High Gun was won by Jessica Sutherland shooting 174/180 but
because she had won the gun last year had to hand it over to
the next top qualifier which was Nicole Saunderson from Waiuku
College shooting 166/180. Jessica did get to keep the Trophy and
Gold medal and of course recognition of Top shooter.
New Zealand Skeet Boys (L-R) Huntar Leslie 3rd, Devon Da Silva
Day two finished with the North/South competition with South
1st, Josh Nilsson 2nd
winning the boys and North winning the girls but only after the
girls had to compete a second time due to a draw first time out.
Day three saw the weather deteriorate a little from the previous
two days, behind a cooler breeze a misty rain came in as the
day proceeded. The day started with the Regional Competition
which is sponsored by NZ Fish and Game and Rudi Hoetjes from
Northland Fish and Game was on hand to present the winning
Teams. In the boys event the Trophy went to Wellington Region
on a score of 234/250 followed closely by Central Southland on

event of this challenge we saw Auckland/Waikato Region take it
out shooting 129/150 followed by Southland on 123 and in 3rd
place Central Southland on 121.
On completion, it was straight into the Skeet Competition where
we saw 18 squads compete for the various trophies and medals. New Zealand Single Barrel Boys (L-R) Brendon Graham 2nd,

Round 5 – August 21st , Palmerston North Gun Club
Team Napier BHS Logan McCelland, Aiden Smith Beams, Rhys Bloxham, John Small, Conway Mildon.
As usual for Palmerston North the day was windless and mild!
Unfortunately the ideal conditions didn’t result in lots of possibles,
although there were lots of ‘nearly possibles’. Being mid-term
break for a couple of the schools, numbers were down a little but
the day ran very smoothly thanks to the club and parent helpers.
In the single rise event there were only 3 possibles, and after
the shoot off – 1st Adam Fulford, 2nd Todd McCormick, 3rd Liam
Nicholson.
There were 2 possible 60/60 in the Points Score by David Easton,
1st after the shoot off and Baylee Parlato 2nd. Adam Fulford, Jono
Tod and Aiden Smith-Beams all shot 59/60 with Adam taking 3rd
place after the shoot off.
HOA Lady Hayley McCormick, HOA Adam Fulford.
The Single Barrel event provided some of the best shooting of the
day with 4 possible 20/20’s shot, with the shoot off requiring a 2nd
25 targets to determine 1st and 2nd. After the shoot off – 1st David
Easton, 2nd Rhys Bloxham, 3rd Nicholas Schaw & 4th Greg Bentley.
HOA for the day was Adam Fulford with a creditable 98/100.
Hayley McCormick was HOA Lady.
Napier Boys’ High School won the teams event with 445/500
followed by Palmerston North Boys’ High School A on 443/100.
Palmerston North Boys’ High School B was 3rd (not counting a
