16.01.2022 It is with very great sadness that we let our shooting community know of the passing of long time Cressy member, Barry Saunders, on Easter Sunday. Barry was most comfortable perched on the stool in the kitchen washing up on shoot days, always had a smile on his face and usually managed to take home a raffle prize (or two!). We extend our deepest sympathies to Barrys family and friends at this sad time.... A life well lived is a precious gift, of hope and strength and grace, from someone who has made our world a bright and better place. Its filled with moments, sweet and sad, with smiles and sometimes tears, with friendships formed and good times shared and laughter through the years. A life well lived is a legacy of joy and pride and pleasure a living, lasting memory our grateful hearts will treasure. A true gentleman at rest. Sleep peacefully Barry.

15.01.2022 Results from Sunday. Thank you to everyone who attended. We were finally able to provide some fantastic weather! Thank you to our sponsors, the Bennett Family and Doljanin Excavations. Mick Stacey took out the overall for the 50 T double barrel presidents trophy in a shoot off from Stephen Bennett while John Murphy managed his first handicap win in 30 years! We hope to see you all at our Christmas shoot on Sunday 6 December

11.01.2022 The Graniwoods Trophy. Awarded to the individual who has collected the most points over selected events through out the year. Whose name will be on it for 2020? To be presented after our Christmas competition on 6 December.

10.01.2022 Olympians Russell and Lauryn Mark, the owners of the clay target coaching, entertainment and services company Go Shooting Pty Ltd, have now finished productio...n of six high definition online instructional videos on behalf of the Australian Clay Target Association. These were filmed at our National Shooting Range at Wagga Wagga in late June. The first video in this series is of particular importance to our Association. It is titled, An Induction to the Range - Welcome to the ACTA, this is an entertaining and informative eighteen minute visual tutorial specifically made for new and prospective ACTA members. It highlights some of the common safety rules and shooting procedures that beginners will be required to abide by when attending an ACTA range. This video will Premiere on the ACTA YouTube Channel on Tuesday July 7th at 7.30 pm (AEST). Anyone who is already subscribed to our channel will be notified and can watch the video live as it debuts. We are encouraging all ACTA clubs and members to provide the online link for this video to any new and potential members to help them understand how our sport operates. It can be viewed online at any time so when a novice initially arrives at the range, they wont feel overwhelmed by the protocols and sometimes confusing terminologies associated with clay target shooting. The video has been made with the intention of complimenting a practical hands on physical induction on the range, not replacing it, but we believe this will be an important tool to encourage potential members to join and participate in the ACTA disciplines. The remaining five coaching and instructional videos in this first series are also orientated towards newcomers and will be released fortnightly on the ACTA YouTube Channel. We suggest that all ACTA members to subscribe to this channel as the proposed second series will involve more technical topics that we believe will benefit both competitors and coaches. Once subscribed, members will be notified as each video is released. Subscription is completely free of charge. There are no credit card or personal details required, all you need to do is click on the red SUBSCRIBE icon located on the page. The link to watch the first video on our YouTube channel is; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzX_4XA8IvA We are extremely grateful to Russell and Lauryn for their huge effort in producing these videos and also the assistance of The NSW State Coach, Mr David Coleman and the Wagga Gun Club. Please assist us by sharing this post to as many affiliated ACTA Club, Zone, State and any other shooting related social media pages as possible. Thank you in advance.
