Captain Woodrow Cahill, SASS # 54363 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 One year ago today a friend of mine's son stepped on a mine in Afghanistan.

Oconee Kid Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Does SASS or local clubs make allowances or access for Wounded Warriors or others who have physical disabilities to participate in matches? Seems like making room for Wounded Warriors and others with disabilities would be in keeping with the "cowboy way". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oconee Kid Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Wounded Warrior becomes Pro Shooter "A Shooting USA Profile of the former Blackhawk Pilot, paralyzed by a crash in Afghanistan, who is now opening the shooting sports to the handicapped and wounded warriors. Trevor Baucom is the first sponsored pro shooter in a wheelchair, and is the reason major shooting organizations are putting out the welcome mat and working to make their matches handicapped capable." Yes, it's a 30 minute video. But it's a really good 30 minute video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellfire # 35333L Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 The Oregon State Match this year had a Wounded Warrior Cat. for those who have health issues that have been caused by military service. The "Merlin Marauders" are always trying to be sensitive to the needs of the shooters... HF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
