MULTI-WORLD champion Ben Husthwaite doesn't like to practise.The British shooter believes spending hours becoming acquainted with a shooting range is a waste of time."You've got to break 200 of them (clay targets), I don't see any sense of breaking any more," he said ."It's a waste of energy. I don't see the point." Two-and-half hours after landing at Tullamarine from the UK, Husthwaite was already inspecting the Laang shooting range.More than 600 shooters from across the world began descending on the locality yesterday for the World Sporting Clay Target Shooting Championships. The cracking of gun shots echoed across the range's sweeping hills as shooters warmed-up their barrels ahead of the first day of competition on Thursday.Husthwaite joked about his swift exit from Melbourne."I think we broke some kind of record," he laughed."I don't feel jet-lagged at all. I slept all the way here on the plane."I've been looking forward to this for a long time."Husthwaite won the world championships in France in 2004 and America in 2006. Husthwaite wasn't a stranger to the south-west, competing in the world titles at Mount Gambier in 1994 ? the last time Australia hosted the event."I was a junior back then and came second."The 2009 championships would be different, he said."I have won this twice now and I haven't travelled this far to come second."Shooters will aim at 200 targets during the four days of competition. Husthwaite admitted to practising heavily before the event."I did a lot of practice before I came here. But I don't see the point in walking up and down hills and I don't like walking up and down hills at the best of times."At the end of the day it makes no real difference (the type of course). "They throw the things into the air and you still have to shoot them." Husthwaite will compete in the individual category.He will be joined by countryman and 10-time World Cup winner George Digweed.
