PA shooters win big-time in 10-day ARMM shooting meet

MANILA, Dec. 7 (PNA) -- Philippine Army (PA) marksmen bagged 23 gold, 14 silver and 26 bronze in the 10-day ASEAN Armies Rifle Meet (AARM) which formally concluded Wednesday.

The event, which started Nov. 28 and ended Dec. 7, was held at Camp O’Donnell, Capas, Tarlac.

Task Force AARM commander Brig. Gen. Herminigildo Francisco C. Aquino said the achievement of the PA shooting contingent is a quantum leap against the ASEAN heavyweights.

“We bagged more gold than expected, always at the top three competing for the the top spot. Always slugging it out with ASEAN’s heavyweights, Indonesia and Thailand. All contenders having a good time competing nonetheless, with mutual respect and friendship," he said.

Around 600 participants from the participating 10 ASEAN states took part in the event.

The competing contingents are from Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, Brunei Darussalam, the Philippines, Laos, Myanmar, and Cambodia.

The AARM is an annual combat shooting competition of ASEAN armies which started in 1991.

The Malaysian Army initially hosted the shooting event.

It's objective is to develop and strengthen the relationship among member Armies from its senior military leaders down to their foot soldiers.

At present, the AARM is divided into five competing events namely pistols for men, pistol for ladies, carbine, rifle, and machine gun. (PNA)

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
