The end of the two-day Singapore Polytechnic shoot.

I didn't participate coz I have mid-terms around this period; I had one on Friday (yes, *during* the mid-sem break) and I have one tomorrow.

Only four of the Standard Class guys took part-- Wai Xin, Chris, Ervin and my dear baby, Joseph. :) Personally, I think it's a good thing they took part; after the Standard Class archers were denied the chance to participate in IVP this year, I think it's a good thing that they at least get some experience and take part in a full shoot.

The Sembawang shoot wasn't really a full shoot in the sense that there was only one round of 6 ends of 6. In a proper shoot, there should be two rounds.

Anyway, I'm proud of the guys coz they brought back the Bronze team medal! They were up against some pretty fierce competition, although when they were fighting for third placing (coz they got beat by the Pasir Ris uncles *again*), from the very first end, from the way their opponents were shooting, I could tell they had a very good chance of coming away with the medal. :D

Pictures:


Just before the team event, lining up at the waiting line; Ervin, and Joseph behind him.


Ervin shooting, followed by Joseph.


This photo is their version of the "band of brothers" shot; during last year's IVP, Chwan was going around snapping pics with his camera and he took a photo of Nicholas, Weiquan and Weizheng walking back after retrieving their arrows which really looked pretty cool. For comparison, here's the original picture:





The guys-- from left, Ervin, Wai Xin and Joseph-- after their team event. This was the photo where they were supposed to look proud or arrogant or something. :P


The guys with their medals. Chris on the left there was the "reserve". :D


Another picture of the guys with our coach, Sunny Low...


And the last picture of the day, which included everyone who was there to support them-- which really was just Sylvia, Chris and me on the second day. Most of the others had come down to support them the previous day, the day of the individual ranking events. But after Sylvia sent out the message that they'd won third place, the messages came flooding in from everyone. :D
