Para-shooting
Para-shooting first appeared in the Paralympics at the 1976 Toronto Games.
At the Paralympic Games, Para-shooting is open to athletes with a physical impairment. Athletes compete in rifle or pistol events. World Shooting Para-sport offers competition opportunities in Para-trap for athletes with a physical impairment and rifle for athletes with a visual impairment. Shooters with a vision impairment use an audio cue to assist them to aim correctly at the target.
