I've shot with a one-armed man (club member, until he got married

), one in a wheelchair, one 92 yrs old, and 10-yr-old boys and girls.

I was in a catastrophic scoot-wreck in 1984, and I don't bend well. I've recently had elbow surgeries on my strong-side elbow, and shot weak-handed with my other arm in a sling. I shot matches before and after hernia surgery.
I've had to be helped up before.......

Oh, and there are provisions in the rules for scoring those with physical limitations. So go; it's riotous good fun, and you'll be glad.
