There is absolutely no such provision in the ISSF rules. You will never see a wheelchair user shooting under strict ISSF rules, it isn't possible. I stand corrected.

To my surprise, he was right. And it didn't take more than a few weeks. What I learned from the experience is that NPA may indeed be where you naturally aim, but that's because you've formed a habit.
