I'm just curious, can someone explain to me why it is that in most of the competitive pistol shooting sports people in wheelchairs have to take a penalty? I'm sorry if I irritate someone with this post but that just doesn't make since to me. Maybe I just don't know all the facts about the sports and if that is the case could someone please help me understand because I would really like to compete. But to have a penalty aginst me just because I'm in a wheelchair really kinda ticks me off so I've chosen not to try competing up to this point. Any help with this subject would be greatly appreciated.
