We arrived at Home Team NS on 11 a.m., signed up at the registration booth and entered the shooting arena. It was detail 3's turn. We watched them as we looked for a space to wait for our turn. Most of the cadets were nervous and overwrought from the pressure that engulfs the area.
It was soon our turn, detail 4.
The competition requires shooting 20 shots within 40 minutes. We were given 11 target cards, 1 for sighting and 10 for shooting. Each card can only hold 2 shots. Soon, the chief range officer announced the five minutes preparation time, where shooters are allowed to shoot dry shots on their target cards. Live firing was not allowed at this point of time. Then, a "Start" command was given and shooters started to shoot. Cadets struggled to maintain their cool under the pressure, trying their best to shoot well.
After the competition, we went out to have lunch. We were back 2 hours later for the prize presentation ceremony, the long awaited climax of the event. The results were announced. We were ecstatic to discover that Team 1 succeeded in clenching the 1st runner-up for team category, while SSGT Rachel obtained the 1st Runner-up for the Individual category. Our CI, Wan Ling Ma’am also managed to acquire the 2nd Runner up for the Officer’s Individual Category. The other team, Team 2 had also done well, acquiring the 3rd Runner-up for Team Category. Overall, all of our cadets had done exceptionally well as we are at the top 5 for team category and top 20 for the individual category.
It was a job well done for all. Keep up the good work and let’s soar up to greater heights!
