The Paralympic Shooting programme includes both rifle and pistol
events: three men’s events, three women’s events and six mixed events.
Athletes compete in two classes – SH1, for athletes who can support the
weight of their firearm themselves, and SH2, for athletes who use a
shooting stand to support their arm.



The target is made up of 10 scoring rings. The centre ring, known as
the bull’s-eye, is worth 10 points, or 10.9 points in finals. Athletes
shoot from a variety of positions – standing, sitting or prone – at
distances of 10m, 25m and 50m. The rules for each event depend on the
firearm, the distance, shooting position, number of shots and the time
limit, but each competition consists of a qualification and a final
round.
