Hi deardear07

On our own 😊

Is it through the learn to shoot package that they advertise outside the shooting range?

Also wondering, is Altius Global still operating? I heard that the range they managed at HomeTeam Bukit Batok is no longer open. :scratchhead:

Think on the bright side, later you might be a sniper or sharp shooter in NS with all these training. :imcool:

Don’t like it at all. Gun is heavy, your arm will hurt a lot especially when the coach instructs you to practise holding it in mid air for very long. I’m in pistol and I can say that pistol is harder than rifle, because all pistol shooters are only allowed to hold the gun with 1 hand, while for rifle shooters they can carry the weight of the gun with their whole body. Imagine holding something which weighs between 2-5kg with only 1 hand (arm must be straight) for a long time. I don’t know about how they teach shooting outside, but I can say for sure the shooting in my school is no fun. Just stand there hold the gun up put down the gun hold the gun up put down the gun, also if unlucky, get a coach who make you hold the gun for very long and give you maybe 10 second rest, while training no break. I’m speaking from experience. Other school/outside course may differ though, but I wouldn’t take the ‘risk’ if I were you, unless you’re really passionate about shooting. Volleyball seems more fun, although is tougher. Will definitely choose a cca which has tougher training but more fun than just standing there whole training carrying a heavy gun with your arm going up down up down.

My son has outgrown his suit and shoes and if you are interested in a second hand, please SMS eight 454zero91six.

It is called Denker Sports World Shooting.


We can pay to shoot there per hourly. We understand from the coaches that they have private shooting classes and also there is a DSA trial class that they are organising for P4 and above during this Mar school holiday.
Date : 20-23 Mar
Time : 6-8pm
Fees : $30 per child for 1 lesson
$100 per child for 4 lessons
Contact : 96835365 / 67893848
Website : denkershooting.com
(all the info above are from their brochures)

I think it is good that there is a shooting range in the east. If only I had known more about shooting and that it can be used to DSA and also if my child is still in primary school. My family will consider paying to play those per hour basis.

2littlemonkeys:
Thank you for clarification... 🙂


Looks like there's no one went for JSA here?
Hi

Know this is late and glad you started the shooting thread!
Here's some info on shooting via SSP (not JSA!) and Altius. Becuz my dd's school is in the north, SSP invited her school's P6 (only) cohort to try shooting at SSP. Program started about March. Its a six-week course on pistol that culminates in a mini competition with trophy!
During this course, SSP coaches will also keep an eye on its shooters to look for potential candidates to join SSP in its shooting academy. If successful, your dc may be offered a DSA to SSP. Shortlisted candidates will undergo further trials for assessment. Coaches are very friendly, and the SSP students are a disciplined bunch on the range.
Altius is a private academy and has done quite well groomig students for DSA for top schools. Some of my dd's schoolmates were from Altius and went to the JSA shooting and were offered DSAs.
IF your dc is interested,start with the private schools - the coaches are good and groups are kept small. They will give dc a headstart and possible DSA.
Having seen how serious my dd was at each session, its quite addictive and requires loads of concentration!

2littlemonkeys:

\"Nominated by the school to JSA trial\" means Altius Global nominated ur boy?

When Altius Global says P4 does it mean he has to be 10yo or just P4 regardless which month is he born in?

To enroll into JSA trial, child has to be P4(10yo)...

2littlemonkeys, Altius Global and JSA are two separate entities. To simplify, Altius Global is a private company that conducts shooting lessons while JSA is a MOE-run programme. It's like taking any lesson (ballet, wushu, etc) from private-run institutions versus taking them from your community centre.

tsksuper6:

BTW, Congrats adechg on your son getting into RI through DSA Shooting. Just for my info, can you share some insights in the RI’s Shooting DSA Trial; how and where is trial conducted? What preparation needed to be made? Is it very competitive; what is the total number of applicants? Do you how many Altius Global and JSA shooters had gain admission into the RI through the DSA this year?
Hi tsksuper6

Thanks for your wishes! I'm sure closer to the time, the good people of Altius Global will inform you and your son about all that is required for the DSA trial.

Here's a quick summary - there were 2 trials conducted this year, one at the SAFRA shooting range and one at the RI range.
Yes, it is very competitive. At the briefing, we were told there were about 10 applicants two years ago, and RI only made the offer to ONE shooter. Last year, the number of shooting applications increased to about 15 and RI offered 2.
This year we had about the same number of applicants. Apart from my son, I have heard of one more confirmed offer.

I heard from a friend that JSA is a MOE funded program run by SSA and MOE will pay for "basic training expenses". Which means there’s no course fees involved but student has to pass their selection trial and 1 mth trial…

"Nominated by the school to JSA trial" means Altius Global nominated ur boy?

When Altius Global says P4 does it mean he has to be 10yo or just P4 regardless which month is he born in?

To enroll into JSA trial, child has to be P4(10yo)…

My P4 son has been training with Altius Global since March this year. We started off with 4 sessions during the June Holiday. My son has also been nominated by the school to JSA’s trial recently, but I have chosen for my son to stay with Altius Global, after much observations and findings with the regular patrons in SAFRA range for the past 2 months.

I will hate to peep through those glass door panes each time, wondering whether my son is safe and who are these coaches and what are they doing with my son. From my short experience with Altius Global I find that their coaches are frank, positive and qualified. They have not only instilled in my son a love for the game, but teaches him positive life lessons, including how to bounce back from failure. It really develop his self-esteem and he never want to miss his weekly training.

As a parent, I want to do the best for my son. I want to give him the best playing field/venue to unleash his potential to as high as he can in shooting. Even he did not meet his mark eventually or drop out half-way, hopefully not.

I may sound like I get paid advertising fees for Altius Global. But just want to share my thoughts as a parent.

BTW, Congrats adechg on your son getting into RI through DSA Shooting. Just for my info, can you share some insights in the RI’s Shooting DSA Trial; how and where is trial conducted?
