  • SH1 – Shooters able to support a gun without a stand

Sub-classifications A, B and C define wheelchair backrest height depending on back and pelvic strength per athlete.

Famous quotes containing the word system:

    For us necessity is not as of old an image without us, with whom we can do warfare; it is a magic web woven through and through us, like that magnetic system of which modern science speaks, penetrating us with a network subtler than our subtlest nerves, yet bearing in it the central forces of the world.
    Walter Pater (1839–1894)
