What is "para archery"?
Para archery is a version of archery designed for athletes with physical disabilities. It follows similar rules to standard archery but includes accommodations such as specialized equipment or adaptive techniques to ensure fair competition. Athletes shoot arrows at targets from a set distance, and the sport tests accuracy, focus, and skill. Para archery is practiced recreationally and competitively, including at international events like the Paralympic Games, where it fosters inclusivity and showcases the abilities of athletes in a challenging and rewarding sport.
