Hi there, I'm very new to target shooting and I'm already bitten by the bug, I have an ambition to become a paralympian as I'm disabled, I long to shoot for team GB, but it all boils down to whether I will be assessed as disabled enough, which sounds rather funny to those of us that are disabled, not only been disabled you have to be disabled to a certain degree, which I find slightly at odds with just been disabled. However, I've decided to take the plunge and I've contacted the IPC to get assessed. This will decide how I am classed and register me to compete in competitions as a disabled shooter. My only worry is if I don't reach the level of disability to qualify then how do I go forward as a disabled shooter, how will I be able to compete as a disabled shooter. Because whether I pass or not I know I'm still disabled and always will be, I'm never going to get any better as one of my conditions is degenerative and is and will worsen over time, so I am more likely to get more disabled as time progresses. But hey,ho we crack on regardless, so a big hello to one and all, and anyone out there who wants a chat or has any advice then please by all means drop me a line. Many Thanks one and all.
