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.

For more information on Shooting Para-sport Eligibility and How to Get Involved please see the Para-shooting Information Sheet (PDF – 109KB) – updated May 2024.
