Paralympic archery is mainly divided into two types:

1. **Recurve Archery**: This is the oldest and traditional form of archery. In this, players aim at the target using a bow.

2. **Compound Archery**: In this type of archery, compound bow is used, which is more modern and technical. It provides mechanical assistance for aiming, which gives more stability to the players.


#### Classification of players

In Paralympic archery, athletes are divided into different categories based on their physical disability. There are three main categories:

1. **W1**: This includes players who use a wheelchair and have weakness in both their arms and legs.

2. **Open**: This includes players who have disability in their lower limbs but have strength in their hands. These players can play from a wheelchair or standing position.


#### Competition Format

In Paralympic archery, players shoot arrows at a target from a certain distance. The target is round in shape and points are given from the center to the outer rings. Players have to shoot a specified number of arrows in each round and the player who scores the most points is declared the winner.


#### India and Paralympic Archery

India has made significant progress in Paralympic archery in the last few years. Indian archers have excelled and won medals at various international forums. The success of these players has increased awareness of archery in the country and inspired new players.


#### conclusion

Paralympic archery is not just a sport, it symbolizes the tenacity and courage of athletes who overcome their physical limits to deliver world-class performances. Their dedication and hard work prove that physical disability is only a challenge and not a hindrance in their path to success
