How para shooting works

1. Para shooting is rifle, pistol and shotgun shooting for athletes with a physical or vision impairment. Shooting's own rules apply unless the para rules say otherwise.
2. SH1 shooters hold the gun themselves. SH2 rifle shooters have an arm impairment and rest the rifle on a spring support stand. SH-VI shooters are vision impaired.
3. Many athletes shoot from a shooting chair. In "prone" events they sit with their elbows on a table rather than lying down.
4. Vision-impaired shooters aim by sound: a tone in their headphones rises as they aim nearer the centre. As in shooting, the highest score wins.

How long

Most rifle matches are 60 shots; standing air rifle allows 1 hour 15 minutes.
