Shooting has been part of the Paralympic Games since Toronto in 1976. Shooting is a test of accuracy and control, in which competitors use pistols or rifles to fire a series of shots at a stationary target. Competitions at the Paralympic Games are open to all athletes with a physical disability. There are two classes of competition, wheelchair and standing. Athletes compete in Rifle and Pistol events from various distances, in men's, women's, and mixed competitions.
