I'm interested in trying some competitive shooting, but here's the (potential) problem:

I'm 39 years old and in good shape, but I have about a dozen screws and an 18" metal rod in my right knee/lower leg from a motorcycle accident. So anything that involves a lot of running or dropping quickly into a kneeling position is right out.

Are these kinds of activities a big part of competitive shooting?
