This may be a controversial question but is a wheelchair bound archer/shooter really at a disadvantage?
I only ask because when I shoot a rifle, the hardest to easiest positions for stability are standing - kneeling - sitting - prone. Standing is by far the hardest position to shoot from because of the higher centre of gravity so I would argue that a sitting disabled athlete with full upper body movement should be able to get greater accuracy than a standing able bodied athlete.
Am I missing something? What are your thoughts?
