Air Rifle

Adaptive Air Rifle is a sport of focus, discipline, and precision, open to athletes with physical disabilities. On the range, participants are provided with all necessary equipment and guided by trained Veteran instructors, alongside the encouragement of peers, to ensure a safe and empowering experience. With a variety of rifles, seating options, and equipment modifications available, every athlete has the opportunity to fully participate, develop their skills, and enjoy the challenge of marksmanship.
