Archery is a test of skill requiring accuracy, concentration and strength and it is open to men and women with a physical disability.
The British Wheelchair Archery Association assists with all archery enquiries, providing you with information, helping you find a local club and support for archers preparing for elite competition.
Archery is a Paralympic sport. At the Paralympics, archers shoot from a distance of 70m. Qualifying and elimination rounds lead to a final using Compound or Recurve bows.
There is an individual and a team competition for men and women in three classifications:
ST: archers have full use of their upper limbs and shoot standing
WC1: archers have disability in all four limbs
WC2: archers have limited mobility in their lower limbs
