.22 Revolver Preliminary Shooting Competition 2008
On 6 June 2008, our unit participated in the .22 Revolver Preliminary Shooting Competition. Here is one of their reflections on the competition.
The cadets present were SI Michelle, SI Wan Ling, SSGT Sheena, SSGT Ashley, SSGT Megan, SSGT Jiamin, SGT Rachel, SGT Weiting, SGT Vivien and SGT Yohana. We assembled at 11.50 am in school and proceeded to the Home Team Academy shortly after, accompanied by our OC, Ms Aline Poh and our 2 instructors, Mervyn Sir and Peiyi Ma'am.
Upon our arrival at the Home Team Academy, we were asked to mark our attendance and was ushered to the waiting room. The waiting room allows us to watch how shooters from other schools shoot and the procedure of the shooting competition. We were at the least nervous and were chatting enthusiastically while waiting for our turn.
Soon, our school name was called and we proceeded to a room for a short briefing for the competition. The FI in charge of explaining the safety precautions and the procedure of the competition is FI Dominic, a close friend of our OC, Ms Aline Poh. He was very hospitable and he motivated us to do our best in this competition.
Sadly, in the end, we did not perform as well as what had been expected of us. In order to meet the required time limit, some did not aim properly or focus on the target. Some were too nervous to put in their best. Many cried, disappointed for their own underperformance.
This competition has taught us the importance of maintaining a cool mind before any competition in order to do our best. We will make sure that such an event will not happen again in the future. AHS NPCC cadets, let's do our best!
