mwt rftune thursday october c 1977 the third section sports classified trapshooter places fourth leary aiming to be the best by keith bolender practice doesnt always make perfect at least it seems that way in the world of trapshooting one person who has made that reverse axiom come true is george leary from gormley who recently placed fourth at the world championship trapshoot at anhbes france georges high placing came against europeans who have had an ex ceptionally higher amount of practice and experience in in- tonational trapshooting f hes only 19 years old and he explained his excellent showing by sayirig i guess i wanted it more a greater desire in trapshooting you can practice too much you become complacent trapshooters in north america dont have the opportunity to shoot as much as the europeans so maybe we try a little harder when we get the chance besides the fact the sport is much bigger and wider accepted in europe there is also the difference quite vast between north american and international trap- shooting george started competitive trapshooting when he was nine getting into the sport from his family who had owned a trapshooting club his first shoot was in st catherines only a few years later and competed against men when asked how he fared george chuckled that he won the booby prize which was not exactly given for first place from that none too auspicious start george won the junior european gran prix championship last month and is now considered to be one of the finer north american and world shooters however george like any other north american shooter labours under a disad vantage due to the dif ferent systems in north america the sport is under the american trapshooting association style ata and it is an easier and less challenging shoot george explained the different styles pointing out that in ata the bird fection was a 199 in the is slower 60 to 65 miles 1972 olympics and the per hour and they come 1974 world championship out straight so theres however george ex- less chance of missing plained that near perfect after youve picked up the scores are not wanted in girls hockey starts with exciting games this years girls hockey season started last sunday and both the new players and the returnees provided a lot of excitement in the junior division the lions defeated laurelea flowers 10 shari lehamn playing in ner first game came up with a shutout in goal bonnie hollingsworth scored at the 1155 mark of the final period to give her team the victory the other junior match saw the kinsmen upset gormley greenhouses 3- 2 laurie younder scored two for kinsmen and julie thompson drilled in the winner assists went to erin shephard and jannine smith for the greenhouse team it was j jackie arjnent who put in 1 both goals goalies- ann marie lacoursiere and tammy petterson put in good games the senior division opening games had the sales barn defeating a short handed credit union team 51 chery singleton sandy hardy karen brown scored singles while sandy ramer popped in two assists went to kathleen kamps sandy hardy sandy ramer dawn shell kim morley and cheryl singleton the lone credit union i goal went to diane ermenl from kathy summerfield and cathy mcbeth iga and l m gardens skated to a 33 stalemate in the second ti ii junior division game l m opened the scoring on a goajy julie parish with assists going to janet dunkeld and karen browa iga came back to tie the score then take the lead on goals by cathy kealey and jolynn ayotte assists went to maureen kamps nancy hutchinson and jolynn ayotte the gardens then tied up the game and went ahead 32 on goals by heather dunkeld assisted by karen berry lori brillinger and vicki macdonald it was with only 32 seconds remaining in the gamethat iga tied it up for the final time as cathy kealy put it in with gwen layton and jolynn ayotte assisting your vocal support is needed and will be greatly appreciated so why not come and cheer the girls on target on the other hand in international com petition the speed is anywhere between 95 and 120 miles and they can fly out at any angle and any direction theres more skill and concentration involved he said with a knowing smile he then commented that in international trap the person has two shots while in ata only one shot is allowed per target he quickly added that the extra shot does not really equalize the two because of the increased variables of the target because all major shoots use international style george is han dicapped somewhat his only chance to shoot international besides in meets is in hamilton where they do have the facilities the difference was illustrated when george commented that europeans that shoot 20000 targets is common to us 2000 is common the sport differs in other ways despite the fact each system awards one point for each hit the international system is obviously tougher a perfect score 200 has never happened in in ternationals although a perfect score in ata is quite common the closest to per- international com petitions and that they are making them tougher there is a com mittee that sees that the sport does not become too easy on the world wide level one way to do that is to lower the shot weight it was dropped oneeighth of an ounce after the 72 games and even that small dif ference can be noticeable the weird thing is george said shaking his head is that ata perfect scores are very common but noone is doing anything to make it tougher he also considers the world championship a better test of skill than the olympics although his biggest desire is to shoot for the canadian olympic team in moscow in 1980 he explained that in the olympics there are only two competitors allowed in trapshooting for each country whereas there is no limit for the world cham pionships if a good shooter has an off day at the olympic trials then he might not make the team it seems to be an unfair system he feels that if you win the world cham pionship then you have really proved yourself at this years world championship george missed the bronze medal by one shot he hit 192 birds the winner had a 197 score it was the best showing for george something he is proud of the whole object of the sport is obviously to shoot down the targets that go whizzing by in a split second and the targets differ from each system in the ata the targets are wider while the in ternationals have a lower width which makes them faster georges international experience includes meets in england australia mexico and the united states where he had his first taste in 1971 coming third in the mens division george is just one of the many top north american shooters that are proving themselves in international com petition other top canadians include john primrose who won the 1975 mens world championship susan natrass who took the womens 1975 world shoot and george chasky many people dont realize how competitive canadians are in the sport despite all their disadvantages the sport receives little publicity and therefore becomes hard to get any government stouffville district secondary schools golf team won the georgian bay tournament last weekend the team from left to right on the front vow aresteve middleton captain dave huxtable who also had the best individual score and dave raymer back row left to right steve schell randy smith and coach lynn jones george leary from gormley displays his shooting stance that helped him win fourth place at the recently held world championship in trapshooting he was just one shot off the bronze medal and was the top north american for the meet help george did state that it is starting to change with the govern ment finally beginning to appreciate their efforts all our tran sportation is now paid for in a world meet and they sometimes pay for the accommodations but thats really only a few dollars however its better than nothing george said the money is well spent because of the good showing the canadians are putting in at the world shoot in france george admitted he was surprised at his fourth placed finish and ex plained it by commenting that he has been working hard at it the last two years he also had good preparation coming into the meet something he doesnt get all the time i was lucky this year george com mented a month before the meet i went to ed monton for a weekend shoot and then just a week before there was a shoot in montreal those really helped me get the feel of it unfortunately most times there is not that much advance preparations for a major meet he went on to say that he doesnt do too much shooting on his own but that he keeps in shape by weight training running and other sports since the world meet george has not shot a single shell i dont like to be off it for more than a couple of weeks or else the edge goes but i do believe that too much practice is harmful you have to hit a happy medium another factor in a lot of practice is the financial one because george is an amateur it is sometimes difficult to afford the cost of shells a box of 25 shells can run about 6 and george recalled a number of times at big meets where he and others had to literally scrounge around for enough shells to finish the meet simply because they didnt have the money for them an average meet will cost about 120 for shells and entrance fees sometimes its hard to finance it he said also the gun does not come cheap george uses one made for the 1968 olympics in mexico and its worth 2300 he said one man uses a gun worth 20000 but for all the ex pense no publicity and hard work george has no intentions of quitting i love the sport ive still got a few goals to reach and i dont want to quit till then in fact ill probably shoot all my life if he does canada will most likely be assured of having a world champion in at least one j sport for a number of years golf team takes tourney this seasons sports two days before the at the stouffville
