The shooting competition began after ten minutes. Each team had four members and the competitors would need to shoot at stationary targets. Those who didn't hit the bullseye would be eliminated, and the elimination would go on until the last surviving battalion was the winner.
The participants from the four battalions who took part in the first round were naturally the cream of the crop. This was because the morale of the group would be easily affected if the team were to fail in the first round. In the first round, a youngster from the 4th Battalion stepped forward to compete with the participants from the other three battalions. When he successfully shot at the bullseye, he proceeded to the next cycle. The other three participants also hit the bullseye and went on to the next cycle.
