Air Rifle Shooting for the
visually impaired
The club hosted a very successful have a go day for blind shooters.
Ken
Nash, NSRA Vice Chairman, brought the specially adapted rifles to the
range and
a number of students from Dorton College tried them out. The specially
adapted
sights generate a sound from the black/white/grey areas of the target
and its
not as easy as it might seem - you have to listen for the right pitch
sound in
the earphones to tell you when to shoot. A team from Meridian TV were
on hand to
record events and they gave us a good slot immediately after the main
news
bulletin. Our thanks to all, and particularly Ken Nash, for making such
an
interesting day.
