Set your sights: February 2007

A very backdated post. Very sorry about this

Some brief history regarding the first ever AAS Outdoor Championships. This competition was originally slated to happen on the 27th of December but due to the planned and anticipated climatic shifts as predicted with AAS’ high precision X8763 weather satellite, they have decided to postpone AAS Outdoor to another day which according to the X8763 would be a clear one. And thus explains the date of the shoot. (Actually it didn’t freaking rain AT ALL during those days).Day 1 ended with both standard competitors from RJC clinching the first position in the man and women's categories respectively. Many didnt attend as there was the great Scholastic Assessment Tests to do. However, great job! Owned the rest by a huge margin.

Day 2 started and it started out rainy… However, with the M8000, the ultimate weather controlling satellite just located beside the X8763, the weather instantly shifted from a rainy one to a somewhat cloudy one. Actually why the hell would you need to predict the weather when you can actually control it? Nevermind that, lets continue with the day…

The round that we shall shoot in today is known as the great FITA 900 where you shoot 30 arrows each at 60m, 50m and 40m. It is some format introduced by Federation Internationale de Tir A’larc to somehow make us shoot longer distances. All the faces used are the chio ones [jkjk 122cm].

The shooting then commences with the GL 60m. It seems that they decided to do away with any forms of randomization as somehow me Chris and Marcus are in the same board. We can gl around all X if we wanted to but as Rafflesians with a high sense of integrity, we decided not to.

The rounds soon started without any glitches. The 60m is rather eff since this is perhaps the first and last time we shall shoot this GL distance. Nothing much, just a comment that the competition went on quite fast and was very smooth in terms of execution. The rounds proceeded very fast and the screw ups surfaced such as the limb inversion by Si Rui and the wrist cramp by me. The place was very big and somehow can see everyone. It seems that the girls always shoot much faster LolZ.

Lunchtime… the menu today is some red coloured rice with random picked vegetables with chicken and an overdose of curry. Its not even curry, its some random spice mix.

Much of it goes to waste though.
Team event was in the afternoon. It seems that RJ – POWER will go against NP while RJ – WOOOOO will sit and watch and play with the winner for the guys. On the other side, erm forgot liao. However, in the end the 2 girls teams from RJ simply met each other in 3rd 4th placing match and RJ- LeMoN won. Yep tts abt it. On the guys side somehow NP managed to win. Dotz..

That probably concludes the entire dasy. Everything was rather rushed, even the prize presentation is like one of the most efficient ones that I have ever seen LoLz. Here are the prize winners:

Standard Novice Man 1st – Tan Kang Rui
Standard Novice Ladies 1st – Charissa Yong
Recurve Junior Man 1st – Christopher Han
Recurve Junior Man Team 2nd – Christopher Han, Ongnardo, Marcus Neo
Recurve Junior Man Team 3rd – K Aswin, Aaron Tan, Teo Si Rui
Recurve Junior Ladies Team 1st – Kimberly Ng, Pan Jinglin
Recurve Junior Ladies Team 3rd – Lynette Chua, Tan Mingwei, Natalie Wee
Recurve Junior Ladies Team 4th – Lee Hwee Juin, Annalyn Ng, Ang Mann Shing

After that was the Marche dinner yeah. Bombed quite a bit of money there for the stupid beer and yep, met up with some old J3s and played a skrued up game of I never and so that concludes the day.
