The Paralympic Shooting programme includes both rifle and pistol<br />events: three men’s events, three women’s events and six mixed events.<br />Athletes compete in two classes – SH1, for athletes who can support the<br />weight of their firearm themselves, and SH2, for athletes who use a<br />shooting stand to support their arm.<br /><br /><br /><br />The target is made up of 10 scoring rings. The centre ring, known as<br />the bull’s-eye, is worth 10 points, or 10.9 points in finals. Athletes<br />shoot from a variety of positions – standing, sitting or prone – at<br />distances of 10m, 25m and 50m. The rules for each event depend on the<br />firearm, the distance, shooting position, number of shots and the time<br />limit, but each competition consists of a qualification and a final<br />round.
