SH1 (classification)

SH1 is a Paralympic shooting classification.

Sport

Athletes in this Paralympic shooting sport class either shoot with a pistol or a rifle. They do not require a shooting stand, because their arms are affected by impairment to a lesser extent and allow for sufficient support of the pistol or rifle. Eligible pistol shooters, for example, have an impaired non-shooting arm, such as amputation or muscle weakness.

Becoming classified

Sub-classifications A, B and C define wheelchair backrest height depending on back and pelvic strength per athlete. Ambulant or wheelchair using shooters regardless of sub-classifications A, B or C shoot together in this class.

Classification is handled by International Paralympic Committee Shooting.

IPC Shooting Classification Rules and Regulations

The IPC Shooting Classification Rules and Regulations were published and came into force on May 2012. The rules reflect the wording of the IPC Classification Code and are a revised version of the previous IPC Classification Rules.
