FAIRFAX, VA –-(AmmoLand.com)- The 2010 West Virginia NRA Disabled Shooting Sectional will take place at the West Virginia University Rifle Range in Morgantown on Friday, March 19.

The two-day event, co-sponsored by West Virginia Paralyzed Veterans of America and PVA’s Sports Director Roger Sack, will begin with adaptive shooting clinics in the morning followed by competitive shooting relays in the afternoon.

“We are very pleased to include West Virginia in the 2010 NRA National Disabled Indoor Sectional Championships,” said Disabled Shooting Manager Vanessa Ross. “West Virginia has a long, proud history of competitive shooting. These matches should be a showcase for the great shooting skills we’ve come to expect from the Mountain State.”

Those entering the West Virginia Sectional can compete in international air pistol on Friday the 19th as well as precision 3-position air rifle and International air rifle on Saturday the 20th. Match champions will receive an invitation to Colorado Springs, Colorado for Paralympic training at the Olympic Training Center.

“We are very fortunate to have use of the West Virginia University’s facilities,” said PVA Sports Director Roger Sack. “We had a great turnout for the 2009 Sectional Matches and are looking forward to this year’s championship with greater anticipation.”

Disabled Shooting Sectionals are open to those with disabilities in three separate classes: those who are visually impaired, those with measurable or visible permanent disability in their upper limbs, and those with sufficient upper limb strength to fire a gun without assistance. Although match officials will provide firearms for both clinics and matches, competitors are welcome to bring their own guns.
