ISSF For August
Greetings fellow ISSF shooters,
I am having a knee replacement surgery on 22nd August so will be out of action for a few weeks, but will still do the newsletter & R/O roster for September, & let you know how my fitness is progressing.
Of importance is the fact that a fairly new trainee participated in a C/F, 25M match a couple of Sundays ago. This was not even a trainee day, & he should not have been participating in that match, even if it had been a trainee day. So, all Range Officers, when you are on duty please do not let trainees shoot in matches; they are only to shoot under direct supervision of an experienced, nominated supervisor/trainer, on trainee days at midday. When they have finished or nearly finished their 12 attendances, & applying for their 'B' Cat, & we are satisfied of their competence in safety & knowledge of the matches, then by our permission they may participate in a match, under supervision. The R/O is in charge & responsible for the running of the match & the safety of the shooters. Any questions, please ask.
Thanks for your help & understanding in this matter.
Of further interest you may wish to ask Rhys how his licence renewal inspection went!

Annual Report from Lester
Greetings.
Our ISSF Section has developed extremely well over the last 12 months.Several members have obtained their "B" Category licence, purchased quality target pistols, and are regularly participating in our 2 main matches, Standard Pistol & Centrefire/25M. Most of our senior members are attending matches on a regular basis, helping supervise trainees, & giving advice & help to the rest of our team. I am pleased to report that those members regularly shooting matches have improved their shooting skills, with a resultant increase in scores achieved.
Trainee member numbers have reduced over the last few months, with some in the "B" category application process. A few have limited attendances over the past year, & will need to confirm their future intentions with the club.
All "B" cat shooters are also now taking their turn as Range Officers, which further adds to their experience, highlighting the importance of safety on the range, & the process of malfunctions for the various matches. Experience gained will have important benefits when attending competitions.
Of extreme importance to our Section has been the maintenance of our No.2 range. The shooting bays are now always clean & tidy, all the brass collected (& sold!), and improvements made to the building where necessary to help with our shooting. We have had very good attendances at our working bees, & I thank members for their efforts.
One area of concern to our Section is the Club's plans for modifications to our range, which are designed to benefit other Sections, & the police training. ISSF have done their bit to get this work started, & would like to see it completed in the near future.
I wish all sections all the best for the coming year.

What is ISSF
From Pistol New Zealand Section Director MARIA JEFFERIS
|
For readers new to ISSF allow me to make and introduction, The international Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) based in Munich controls shooting sports at the Olympic Games all the pistol events at the Commonwealth Games and the Oceanias.
The main events are 10 and 50 meter pistol and 25 meter pistol events which require autoloaders or revolvers. ISSF is different from all the other PNZ shooting disciplines for two reasons. First, only ISSF shooters compete at the Olympic and Commonwealth Games. Other disciplines have their internationals as well, but none of those events equal the status of the Olympics or the CWG. The second difference is that everything is done to emphasise the individual shooter and to minimise any technical or other advantages one person might have over another. Everything being equal and constant, the only variable is the shooter- and that person's skill, talent, motivation and determination. Winning medals at prime international events like the Commonwealth Games or the Olympics is ultimately what ISSF is all about. But we like to have some fun getting there! Keep an eye on this website for regular updates on Pistol New Zealand's ISSF section activities. Maria Jefferis |
