I present to you the South East Zone QCTA Teams for the upcoming year of Competitive Trap Shooting in Queensland.
A fantastic effort from all and congratulations on winning your chance to represent the South East Zone QCTA at the upcoming State Carnival in early 2027.
There is some new blood joining the ranks partnered with some very capable repeat Team Members at Zone representation level.
For those of you following along at home, the South East Zone won the OPEN and ALL sections with the exception of Ladies who narrowly missed out at the 2026 QCTA - Queensland Clay Target Association State Carnival held at Roma Clay Target Club earlier this year.
To be clear. the South East Zone QCTA was a dominant force winning the OPEN, JUNIOR and VETERANS at this years carnival and our latest team has the genetics and possibility of a clean sweep come 2027.
I'm not looking to incite friendly rivalry but if I was the President of the QCTA Western Zone, QCTA Central Zone or the Northern Zone QCTA Inc then damage control and 2nd place preparations would be high on my agenda.
With the full support of the South East Zone QCTA, we wish you all well and if there is anything we can do to assist please reach out through the usual channels.

The South East Zone QCTA Inc. 2026 Annual Carnival has been run and won for another year.
Congratulations to all Event and High Gun Winners and safe travels to those heading home.
A good representation from across the Zone and by consequence the high guns with the exception A-Grade were attained by South East Zone Clubs.
A shout out to QCTA Western Zone's Mr. Mal Collins our Carnival Shoot Marshall for running a tight ship across the weekend. We appreciate your ability to run the shoot AND pull off an A-Grade Highgun.
Mal was ably supported by the President of Gympie Clay Target Club AND South East Zone QCTA Secretary Mr. Greg Nuske and the President of Bundaberg Clay Target Club AND Treasurer of the South East Zone QCTA, Mr. Darren Large.
With 136 Shooters in contention for the high guns and more than 140 licensed shooters competing in events across the weekend, you all contributed to one of the largest and most supported South East Zone Carnivals on the books.
The South East Zone would like to extend a thank you and appreciation to Mr. Keith Simpson, President of Toowoomba Clay Target Club for his clubs hospitality, assistance and general willingness to help in making this carnival the success that it was.
As they say, "it takes a village" and while it is great to be able to turn up and compete at these events, they don't run themselves.
My thanks to the entire support crew, from the Kitchen to the Trappers to the parents of the 17 juniors (12.5% of the attendees were Junior shooters).
Stay tuned for event photos and individual event results and thanks again for choosing to spend your weekend supporting the South East Zone QCTA and competing in our Annual Carnival.
