bakerboy Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) You can enter any CPSA registered shoot. There is a disabled Shooters association, they recently held a Coaches course at Sporting Target at Risely to show Coaches how to work with Wheelchair Shooters and many other disabled shooters. If you contact Sporting Targets Risely I am sure they will give you the contacts. I will try and find them and post them on this thread as soon as I can.

I have to shoot wheelchair comps against other wheelchair users Thanks any help would be much appreciated I have a friend who shoots competitions from a wheelchair, unfortunately banned from this site but you can send me a PM if you want me to put you in touch where he can tell you all about his experiences at various competitions. Some competitions allow for wheelchair shooters but don't always take wheelchair restrictions into consideration which actually can put you at a disadvantage. I appreciate this can be a debate in itself and I'm not suggesting wheelchair shooters should be given an advantage, but some rules in my opinion lack some basic common sense. Good luck in your quest Cos Edited February 1, 2017 by Cosd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
