Shooting; at the XV Paralympic Games
Venue	National Shooting Center
Dates	8–14 September 2016
Competitors	140

Shooting at the 2016 Summer Paralympics consisted of twelve events, eight for rifle and 4 for pistol, across a range of men's, women's and mixed events.

Paralympic shooters were also classified according to the extent of their disability. The classification system allows shooters to compete against others with a similar level of function.

Shooting classifications are:

SH1 - competitors who do not need a shooting stand
SH2 - competitors who use a shooting stand to support the firearm's weight

Qualification

There were 140 athletes (100 male, 40 female) taking part in this sport. Any athlete awarded a qualification slot in one event is permitted to enter other eligible event if they have a minimum qualification score. Therefore, fields in each event are likely to be significantly larger than the qualification quotas below.

Qualification slots will be allocated as follows:[1]

gollark: I don't really like the current world in some ways either, but I think markets are generally a fairly okay system if managed in some ways.

gollark: Okay, continue.

gollark: Where are the actual incentives in anarchism? It seems that you basically just expect people to embark on giant construction projects and give resources out of the goodness of their hearts or something. In capitalism you actually have a decent direct reason to do that - your company can make more profit if it makes a new silicon fab or something, so you'll get money yourself, and you can get resources from other companies because you both get benefits for trading that way.

gollark: Well, that's just wrong.

gollark: You could do a *bit* of poor-people-saving.
