ZZ Sydney Australia
National ZZ Title Shoot Report 2010
Date:  25th & 26th September 2010
Venue:  Bendigo Clay Target Club, Vic.


Weather:  Perfect
After a long 9hour trip down from Sydney with the ZZ trailer in tow, Neale Guy, Horst (George Crazy Horse) & Vince took the automatic ZZ traps to Bendigo CTC for the National ZZ titles.
Saturday 25th started off quietly due to the AFL Grand Final being held on the same day it was still good as we took most of the morning to set up, thank you to the 9 shooters that came along to have a small comp & shoot some practice. I’d like to thank Lee Fitzgerald, John Tannous, Mick Tannous & Peter Determinis for helping with the clean up of the targets to be ready for Sunday morning, thanks guys.
Sunday 26th after practice we had 33 shooters on the board, 31 going into the Calcutta, 26 taking up the Super Sweeps. Our auctioneer for the Calcutta was Norm Basile who did a great job making the Calcutta exciting and raising over $2600 on the shooters.  It was a beautiful day, everybody who attended had a good time, with the targets being shot from 27m for the National Title and the fence being set at 21m.
Due to a slight breeze the targets weren’t fast but tricky.


1st Sweeps: (10/10)        *Competitors in the Super Sweeps as well.
Results for Sunday as follows:-
1st Sweeps  (10/10) – Nathan Harris, Brenton Irons*,John Tannous*, Mick Tannous* & Craig Fitzgerald*, Danny Ryan & Darren Watts.
2nd Sweeps  (10/10) – Nathan Harris, Anthony Pannetta*, Frank Vella*, Alan Bebend*, Marc Crimmins*, John Tannous*, Craig Fitzgerald*, Danny Ryan, Glen Phillipson & Brenton Irons*.
3rd Sweeps  (10/10) – Nathan Harris, Anthony Pannetta*, Alan Bebend*, Marc Crimmins*, John Tannous*, Craig Fitzgerald*, Danny Ryan, Glen Phillipson.

4th Sweeps  (10/10) –Anthony Pannetta*,Bobby Lambevski*, Marc Crimmins* & Craig Fitzgerald*.

O/A National ZZ Champion – Craig Fitzgerald*  25/25
(In practice Craig struggled, it looked like he would be lucky to get a sweep let alone O/A, he did not even bet on himself in the Super Sweep but brother Lee had faith in him and took it up to get lucky, good come back Craig, well shot.)
O/A 2nd place – Anthony Pannetta* & Brenton Irons*  24/25
Thank you to Neale Guy’s parents for putting us up & being only 5mins from the club – it was great, thank you. I’d also like to thank Glen Woodhatch (President of Bendigo Clay Target Club) and his wife Jan for opening the canteen on Saturday & Sunday, the food was terrific along with all their wonderful hospitality, also Rod Flower for his organizing and support over the weekend. Thank you also to all the other  helpers packing up.
A special thanks to all that attended.
Till next time,
Vince al thanks to all that attended.
Till next time,
Vince & Shelly

About ZZ Shooting

A new discipline was born in 1960, the shooting of electro-targets (Helice-ZZ). In Belgium the Chevalier David de Lossy invented a cross between a live pigeon target and a clay pigeon target (a plastic plate fixed on a plastic support shaped like a propeller).
The decision to accept this new discipline at international level was taken by FITASC in 1963.
The first International Grand-Prix was set in Monte Carlo and thereafter Grand Prix were organized annually, and from 1966 European championships, (37 up to 2005). The first world championships took place in 1991, and 4 followed from 1993.
The World championships now take place annually and 10 World cups have been staged since 1996.

CLAY SHOOTING HISTORY

Our favourite sport is modern and traditional.Modern because it uses high precision technology to manufacturemore reliable machines, traditional because the spirit of ball-trap is"old as the hills".

From the late 1880's until the outbreak of the First World War, pheasant and grouse shooting in England enjoyed a popularity level that had never been seen, or rivalled since.

Unwittingly, the same time period also marked a time of change; the first clay target, a flat disc, appeared between 1883 and 1887. The clay pigeon was then introduced and a direct result came the birth and development of SPORTING CLAYS.

The Victorian and Edwardian hunting parties were legendary - as were the number of birds bagged. The ability to shoot well was a prerequisite (along with social standing) to obtaining an invitation to many of the great estates. Consequently, with clays pigeons it was possible for the first time to tune up with practice and instruction.


It was in 1812 in a London suburb that the first live pigeon-shooting club was born. It was called the "Old Hats Tavern". The old hats were used as boxes in order to launch the pigeons. This was when the expansion of this sport first started.In 1850 one begins to see meetings of hunters who shot at glass balls thrown by hand. In 1877, an American, Adam Bogardu invented the first catapult in order to launch these glass balls at shooting shows, and the term "Ball Trap" was adopted.

The best known spectacle of the time were undoubtedly those of the very famous William Frederick Cody, better known under the name of "Buffalo Bill". His spectacle "Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show" was a huge success worldwide.

The Shooting Schools in London were at once able to capitalise on the demand and set about the installation of traps and towers that would enable them to simulate flight of game birds. Inevitably, this, in turn with its variety of targets, led to the introduction of a new discipline in its own right. It was given the name of SPORTING, and the first British Open Sporting Championship was held in London in 1927
