Abstract:

Attentional properties are an important component of the success of the sporting activity of the shooting athlete. Scientific works present the results of the development of athletes’ attentional abilities. However, studies concerning the development of attention characteristics specifically in shooting athletes are very scarce. Besides, effective programs of complex training work on the psychological preparation of an athlete, based on multifunctional approaches aimed at the development of the cognitive sphere of a shooter’s personality, are insufficiently described. The aim of the article is to study the possibilities of psychological training as a method of developing attentional characteristics in high-class athletes in rifle shooting and clay target shooting. Twenty-seven shooting athletes of the Klimenko School of Olympic Reserve in Shooting (Simferopol) took part in the formative experiment. Diagnostic study was based on the following methods: B. Bourdon’s proof test, Schulte tables, Gorbov-Schulte tables, H. Münsterberg test. To analyze the differences in the athletes’ attention characteristics before and after the training program implementation the nonparametric Fisher’s criterion and the Wilcoxon’s criterion methods of mathematical statistics were used. Verification of differences in attentional characteristics of athletes before and after the implementation of training allowed obtaining statistically significant differences in the following characteristics of attention: the number of athletes with a high level of attention concentration increased (φe=1.723, р≤0.05); the scope of attention increased (Temp = 26.5, р≤0.001) and the percentage of athletes with a sufficient rate of sensorimotor reactions increased (φe=1.928, р≤0.05); the proportion of athletes with above-average and high levels of attention switching increased (φe=1.645*, р≤0.05); the level of attention selectivity increased (Тemp=23, р≤0.005). Changes in attention indicators of athletes before and after training showed the effectiveness of the training program. Thus, one of the perspective directions of increase of attentional characteristics of athletes in rifle shooting and clay target shooting is introduction of attention development to the process of preparation of psychological training which allows improving cognitive, operational new formations, giving the chance to the sportsman to show high level of concentration, the ability to switch attention, scope and stability of attention in a difficult situation of preparation and competition.

Abstract:

This study tested the utility of Morgan’s (1980) Mental Health Model and Hanin’s (1980) Zone of Optimal Function Model in an ecologically valid environment. A sample of 12 high-performance adult clay-target shooters were tested over an entire competitive season. Precompetitive mood states were assessed using Schacham’s (1983) short version of the Profile of Mood States (POMS; McNair, Lorr, & Droppleman, 1971). Results revealed partial support for Hanin’s model but no support for Morgan’s model. Discussion focuses on the importance of multiple assessments of precompetitive emotions, recognition of individual differences, and selection of a precise measure of sport performance.

Abstract:

This study assessed sediment and soil contamination at the site of the former Lincoln Park Gun Club located on the shore of Lake Michigan in Chicago. Between 1918 and 1991 a shooting organization utilized the site for trap and skeet shooting, discharging tons of lead shot and clay targets to Lake Michigan. The targets were primarily dolomitic limestone with a petroleum pitch binder containing polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). This study measured vertical and lateral extent of lead and PAH contamination in site soils, near-shore sediments, lake water and ground water. Statistically significant correlations were found between the following pairs of Lake Michigan sediment analyses: TCLP lead and total lead; TCLP lead and supernatant lead; and supernatant lead and total lead. No significant correlations were found between any of the lead chemical analyses and lead shot counts. Microbial bioassays performed on sediment extracts found no measurable toxicity.

Abstract:

Multilayered armor systems (MAS) with a front ceramic layer backed by a relatively unknown Amazonian guaruman fiber-reinforced (Ischnosiphon koem) epoxy composites, as second layer, were for the first time ballistic tested against the threat of 7.62 mm rifle ammunition. The amount of 30 vol% guaruman fibers was investigated in three distinct configurations: (i) continuous aligned, (ii) 0–90° cross-laid, and (iii) short-cut randomly dispersed. Additionally, single-target ballistic tests were also carried out in the best MAS-performed composite with cross-laid guaruman fibers against .22 caliber ammunition. The results disclosed that all composites as MAS second layer attended the US NIJ standard with corresponding penetration depth of (i) 32.9, (ii) 27.5, and (iii) 29.6 mm smaller than the lethal limit of 44 mm in a clay witness simulating a personal body. However, the continuous aligned guaruman fiber composite lost structural integrity by delamination after the 7.62 projectile impact. By contrast, the composite with cross-laid guaruman fibers kept its integrity for subsequent shootings as recommended by the standard. The single-target tests indicated a relatively higher limit velocity for .22 caliber projectile perforation, 255 m/s, and absorbed energy of 106 J for the cross-laid guaruman fibers, which are superior to corresponding results for other less known natural fiber epoxy composites.

Abstract:

Throughout the Appalachian Mountain chain, entrepreneurs have capitalized on the outdoor sporting experience. Both summer and winter sports such as fly fishing, hiking, skiing and snowboarding are very popular. One popular emerging activity is skeet, trap, and sporting clays shooting. Major tourist enterprises are developing this opportunity for both tourists and the local residents. To meet the increasing demand, ranges are being constructed throughout the region from Alabama to Maine. Within North Carolina that are approximately 12 ranges, with an additional 10 in east Tennessee. Although these activities have had few opponents, sporting clays establishments have received an insignificant number of complaints that the noise level is above the noxious level. A research experiment was designed to test noise levels at one sporting clays course situated near a vacation resort. The first phase of this experiment determined that the noise levels at the source from 12 and 20 gauge shotguns were insignificant. The allowable rounds used are the standard reduced load target load. At the source there was a significant difference between trap (85.85 dBA) and skeet (74.95 dBA). At the closest guest location (second phase) 333 samples were taken between August 2015 and March 2016. The noise level averaged 53.7 dBA (σ = 7.43dBA). During the third phase (January to March 2016) 44 samples were obtained at the main resort lodging site. At Site 2 the noise level averaged 31.9 dBA (σ = 5.45). The fourth and final phase of this study was to determine the noise levels at the closest guest location for each of the 12 sporting clays stations. Ninety-six samples (8 per station) were collected in October 2016. The average noise level was 53.0 dBA (σ 4.19 dBA). An analysis at the statistical confidence level of 97.5% was conducted. First all stations were analyzed in a pairwise comparison analysis. Stations that were not significantly different from one another were combined. Thus the 12 stations were reduced to three combined stations. The analysis determined that the noise level from stations 1 through 5 (48.9dBA, σ =1.50 dBA) was significantly lower than from the other stations. Next loudest was the combinations of stations 6, 7, 10, and 11 (54.1 dBA, σ = 1.69). The last loudest combination was stations 8, 9, and 12 (58.6 dBA, σ = 1.50 dDA). Thus there was a difference of 9.7 dBA between the lowest and the loudest station. Since every 5 dBA difference equates to 2 to 3 times louder, depending on frequency, the loudest station is approximately 4 to 6 times louder that the lowest noise level. However, all stations are below the OSHA Standard. With an annoyance level (60.0 dBA) for the guest activity, the gunshots are less than the nuisance level and significantly less than the permissible level. The few complaints about the noise levels are not supported by the noise level data. A logical conclusion is that the objection is the act of shooting and not the noise level of the shotgun’s sharp or impact report. Potential solutions might be to examine stations 8, 9, and 12 and considering possible relocation, orientation, or emplacement of a thick tree barrier to absorb the reports. Regression analysis was used to develop a highly significant model to predict noise levels with the variables collected. However, this will not solve the complaints from those who object to reports under any circumstance.

Abstract:

Target shooting in the United States has become an increasingly popular sport in the last century. In addition to the large quantity of lead pellets littering range grounds and surrounding land, considerable amounts of clay target fragments cover shooting range areas as well as adjoining habitats. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) within the target, as well as lead pellets from shotguns pose multiple threats to a variety of wildlife. To determine the effects of clay target and lead pellet ingestion on wildlife, I conducted controlled experiments on Coturnix quail exposed to clay targets in the lab, and collected wild birds and mammals exposed to lead pellets at a shooting range. The first Coturnix study determined whether quail voluntarily consumed target fragments or limestone fragments. In both fall (F=29.2, P<0.01) and spring (F=6.45, P=0.02) experiments, I found that quail consistently selected limestone fragments, but almost completely rejected clay target fragments. In the second study, quail were force-fed varying amounts of target dust on a weekly basis to simulate sporadic exposure to clay target dust. In both summer (F=1.63, P=0.23) and winter (F=0.34, P=0.8) trials, male quail did not have significant weight loss. Female quail had insignificant weight losses in summer trials (F=1.63, P=0.23) but experienced weight gains in winter trials (F=3.53, P=0.04). In the third and final Coturnix study, varying amounts of target dust were incorporated into daily feed rations to simulate frequent exposure to clay target dust. Male quail experienced weight loss in both summer (F=16.13, P<0.01) and winter (F=8.47, P<0.01) trials. Female quail also suffered weight loss in both summer (F=15.62, P<0.01) and winter (F=17.50, P<0.01) trials. Weight loss likely resulted from inadequate nutrition as opposed to target poisoning. However, because there were no biochemical analyses performed to test for PAH presence, no definite conclusions can be made. The second study focused on lead contamination in Passeriformes, perching birds, and small mammals. Seventeen of 20 birds (85%) (Passerine spp) captured at the shooting range had elevated lead levels (F=5.21, P<0.028), when compared to birds (n=20) at the control site. Nine of 26 (35%) white-footed mice (Peromyscous leucopus), trapped at the shooting range had elevated liver (F=9.78, P=0.0029) and kidney (F=22.49, P<0.01) lead levels. These results indicate that Passerine species as well as Peromyscous species around shooting ranges inadvertently consume lead, either as lead pellets, mistaking them for grit or dietary items, or through environmental sources such as water, soil, and vegetation.

The purpose of this study is to understand how Contestant attributes, groups (national/ non-national team member), target positions, and flying-clay types affect Contestants’ target hitting rate and final scores. Contestant attributes include Contestant’s age, heights, and years of shooting. The subjects of the study are the Contestants who participated in the Taiwan National Sport Affairs Council Cup Shooting Championship in 2009, The major findings are as follows: (1)In terms of Contestant’ group (national/non-national team member), both target positions and clay types influence Contestant’s target hitting rates. The national team members have significantly higher target hitting rate than non-national team members, especially for the fourth and eighth target positions. This result suggests that the forth and eighth target positions are more difficult to hit than others. (2)The target hitting rates were not affected by the players’ ages even after taking target positions and clay types into account, which overthrows the argument that athletes tend to perform more poorly as getting older. (3)In the part of shooting age, the research discovers that the grade of shooting in the age of shooting above 3 years is better than the age of shooting around 1 to 2 years. It shows that one needs to be trained above 3 years to achieve mature level for the skeet. This is the only sport which can be trained to achieve mature level in the short period. (4)The athletes taller than 171 cm have higher scores than those shorter than 170 cm, indicating that the body height is favorable in skeet shooting. It is hoped that these findings can provide useful information for Taiwanese skeet shooting Contestant and improve the effectiveness of training. (5) At the correlation condition of different target position, the amount of the correlation in the forth, fifth, sixth, and eighth target position are the most, then in the second and third target position are in the middle place, and in the first and seventh target position are the less. Besides, every clays appearing style has medium correlation at the correlation condition of different clays appearing. The result of the research can provide the information for Taiwanese shooting athletes to improve the efficiency of skeet training in Taiwan.
