Disabled Services Department - NRA Disabled Shooting Services guides more Americans with physical disabilities into hunting and outdoor activities than all other shooting sports organizations in the nation. Since its inception in 1994, NRA’s Disabled Shooting Services Program has offered services that have enabled thousands of Americans with physical disabilities to enjoy a variety of shooting activities, including competitive events and hunting. In the past year NRA’s Disabled Shooting Services has the Disabled Indoor Air Rifle Sectional, Regional and Postal Championships, NRA Open Range Day and NRA KEWL Kids. These programs introduce recreational and competitive shooting to both adults and children with physical disabilities. The Program also ensures that many shooting facilities are wheelchair accessible, and provides information on how organizations can include sportsmen with disabilities in their programs.

MEDICAL WAIVERS
In accordance with Rule 13, competitors with physical disabilities, who are unable to achieve the required shooting positions or use special adaptive equipment, are required to apply for a medical waiver.

The medical waiver application is fairly simple and consists of two forms. The first form is a Competitor Application and should be filled out by the shooter. The second form is a Medical Form and must be completed by the physician. Each applicant must submit the completed forms along with pictures and other relevant information.

Once received, the applications are reviewed by the NRA Protest Committee. After approving the application, the competitor will receive a card authorizing them to use the adapted position or equipment and must present that card to the Match Director prior to the start of the competition.
