Home Team NS Shooting Comp

Well, today was the Home Team NS Invitational Shoot and... Yeah. I have to say, I'm very, very disappointed. No, not at my team-mates, not this time round, but at myself. Yeah. Not that I did not shoot well. I'm actually surprised at how much I got, cause it's my new personal best. I'm disappointed in that I was not a better shooter, and that I actually made some stupid beginner mistakes, like rushing my triggering.

Because of that, I shot 1 seven. If I had shot that well, I'd actually be third, but no, instead, I shot a seven, and got one point behind third.

Yes. It goes this way:

1st - 563
2nd - 560
3rd - 558
4th - 557

See? So close to getting first. Goddammit. Anyway... Here are the scores:

Ivan - 83, 77 ,86, 88, 86, 81 - 501 @ 26th / 37th
Louisse - 90, 97, 95, 91, 92, 92 - 557 @ 4th / 37 th
Haziq - 87, 82, 91, 82, 94, 84 - 520 @ 13th / 37th

Total: 1548 @ 3rd

... I'm still disappointed. But hell, at least now we have a set of results to help persuade Mr Loo for new frikin guns for the next batch. As for girls...

Nadiah - 90, 90, 91, 92 - 363 @ 15th / 36th
Cherie - 84, 85, 83, 86 - 338 @ 29th / 36th
Florence - 89, 88, 90, 90 - 357 @ 17th / 36th

Total: 1058 @ 6th

Yeah... I need to train hard cause now that I got 4th, I may have to come back for the finals the coming weekend. And it'll be a Final 10 style shooting. Meaning that we're not shooting target cards anymore. It'll all be electronic. Anyone who watched the Olympics would know what I mean. And what's stressful about it is that I will only have 10 shots, and that every shot will be announced to the crowd and every shooter. Talk about pressure.

And me using a 10-year-old rifle does NOT help.

Peace,
