2009 National Disabled Indoor Air Rifle Sectional Championships

NRA's Disabled Shooting Services is proud to announce the creation of the 2009 National Disabled Indoor Air Rifle Sectional Championships.

The new National Disabled Indoor Air Rifle Sectional Championship will be held at various locations between January 15 and March 30, 2009. This championship was created to replace the Beeman Grand Prix Tour, which was a stand-alone competition that had limited participation. The Disabled Indoor Air Rifle Championship was created with the hope that it can someday be combined with the National Open Indoor Air Rifle Championship that already exists.

The NRA National Disabled Indoor Air Rifle Championships give competitors with physical disabilities a chance to compete in national individual and team events by comparing their scores with those fired in clubs all over the country. Scores are compatible because of the similar conditions existing in indoor ranges.

Dates currently scheduled are as follows:
January 31 - Lakeshore Foundation, Birmingham, AL
February 7 - Louisville, KY
February 14 - Fresno Wheelchair Shooting Championships, Fresno, CA
March 14 - VA Boston Healthcare System, Brockton, MA
