IFAA News From the editor: Welcome to the new Branch F newsletter. I hope to publish the newsletter four times a year, probably after each of the Branch meetings in February, May, August and November. I’ll do my best to come with things each quarter, but the newsletter depends on you. The more you send me, the less chance of the newsletter failing again. - Alan

Inside this issue:

This year we have had more members take up shooting IFAA. We now have 68 IFAA graded members in the Branch. The State IFAA Titles were held at Campbelltown in May. Fifty-five shooters took part. After a very wet lead up to the shoot it was great to have this number of shooters. The weather became fine on Saturday after a very windy night. On Sunday there was a light shower in the morning with the rest of the day being fine. The good part was that it was dry to pack up the camps. The Australasian IFAA Championships were held at the Phoenix club at Sale in June. Branch F had 17 shooters take part with some of them achieving good results. The mornings were cold with fog on one

day making it hard to see some of the targets. There was at least one fine and sunny day. On the last day it rained in the morning, followed by a very cold afternoon. Putting the weather aside, all had a good time. The Phoenix club put on a great shoot. Note a change to IFAA shoot times to allow for the long day if a field round and half and animal round are shot on the Saturday.

Wear sensible enclosed footwear, even on the practice range. ————————— Ensure cubs carry water when they are out on the range – they can dehydrate quickly.

People are responsible for their own equipment. Bow checks before a shoot can only check the safety of a bow at that point in time. ————————— No camouflage on the

range – this includes hats, shoes and backpacks! ————————— A coaching course will be held toward the end of this year. Contact Rod Moad if you are interested.

From the Game Council The rules for issuing of a Restricted license have changed slightly. ABA has had to include a section on NSW hunting law for our BPC to be fully compliant with the regulations. This was done last year and they new requirement became active on the 1st of July this year. From this point on only people holding a BPC marked as Game Council approved can use their BPC to get a NSW Game Council Restricted license. This means anyone sitting the test who wants to use it to gain an R license has to sit a short test on NSW hunting legislation. It is a short 4 questions multiple choice test. In the future this amendment will be included in the new manuals. Anyone with a BPC before the 31 of June this year will need to get their BPC card reissued as GC approved if they wish to use it to gain an R licence. Just send it to the National Director of bowhunting Education Ray Morgan in Melbourne. Ray has a list of when all BPC’s were issued. If you already hold a Game Council Restricted license then the new changes will not affect you unless you do not renew your license. The renewals are sent out about 6 weeks before they expire. Just fill out any relevant parts of the renewal form and send it in with the money. You do not need to get reassessed each time you renew. Note however to hold the R license you must maintain membership of an Approved Hunting Organisation such as ABA. If you do not renew your membership or become a member of another AHO then you are breaking the law. ———————————————————-A few months back the issue was raised through the Game Council of NSW that to

access some hunting areas licensed hunters had to pass through national parks or that near to some Declared forests were camping area controlled by the National Parks. The Game Council CEO sent a letter to the Director of NPWS asking for licensed hunters to be shown some latitude.\ The response from National Parks is given below. Thank you for your recent letter seeking approval for hunters carrying firearms to camp within and/or traverse through areas managed by the Department of Environment and Climate Change (DECC). As you noted in your letter, it is illegal under the “National Parks and Wildlife Regulation 2002” for anyone to be in possession of a firearm in a national park without consent being granted. Clause 19 of the Regulation provides for a consent to be issued by a park authority to allow legitimate users to carry a firearm and ammunition while traversing on or through a Park on legitimate business. The issuing of such consents is at the discretion of the Regional Manager who is the designated officer within the DECC for approvals of this nature. While I have no objection to Regional Managers using their discretion to approve consents for this purpose, full written justification will be required including specific dates and anticipated routes to be used. Camping in a park while in possession of a firearm is more problematic. Illegal activities associated with hunting, such as the release of pigs and deer into reserves, traps being stolen or vandalized and the escape of hunting dogs, is a serious problem for the DECC. While I am sure that most hunters are responsible citizens and are unlikely to abuse any authority grated upon them, I

court) note this also means if you are traveling through a National Park in NSW you can still get caught. Several highways pass through NP’s for example the Snowy mountain highway in SE NSW passes through Kosciusko NP. Stop the car on the side of the road in these areas and you are liable.

So any one hunting in NSW please take note if you have a firearm or a hunting implement and you are in a National Park they can and probably will book you. A hunting implement under the act includes a knife (pig dogging type) and any bow (target gear could be still classed as hunting gear, you would need to fight it in

Note that while the booking is at the discretion of the regional manager, this is never a good thing when fines are at some ones discretion rather in firm law.

On The hunt All measurers must requalify – this has been stipulated by National. Laszlo Volgyesi will be running a training/requalification course on the 22nd and 23rd of September at the Capital Field Archers range. After this course only those who have requalified will be able to measure game. Please contact Laszlo for details.

Laszlo has said he has received several claim forms with discrepancies in them or that are incomplete. He has also received some claim forms with photos that were below standard. This seems to be an on-going problem as I remember Daryl make the same comments when he was Field Representative. Please try to complete the forms correctly to lessen the workload on the Field Rep and help to get the forms the National quickly.

Coaching at schools For some time Dan Lane has been coaching at schools near Shellharbour, with students from years 7, 8, 9 and 10 taking part, though not all years at all schools. The coaching is being well received by both the students and teachers at the schools. Dan has also been working with the Scouts and Guides in his local area.

Both of these activities would seem to be a good way to introduce young people to archery and perhaps to increase the numbers taking part in our sport. Please contact Dan (02-4261-4495) if you are interested in setting up similar programmes in your area. I’m sure he’d be happy to assist if he can.
