Sport Specific Information |
When and where did you begin this sport? |
He wanted to continue pursuing sports after recovering from his accident. He discovered that STM Chaumont club was readily accessible for people with an impairment, and that shooting was cheaper than other Para sports that required expensive equipment. To help maintain his physical fitness he also began playing wheelchair tennis and golf. |
Why this sport? |
He started off rifle shooting, which he believes was crucial to learn the basics of the sport, before switching to pistol shooting. He preferred the pistol because the equipment is less complicated and cheaper. |
