Does anybody know where in hell* I can find a list of the different classes for disabled archers and what aids they are allowed to use to compete against 'able bodied' ** archers?
The reason I am looking is because we have a newbie who is mildly inconvenienced by missing fingers. The newbie has lost, on both hands, top 2 sections on index finger and 1&3/4 sections on the middle finger.
Newbie is using a modified tab at the moment but there are concerns about long term tendon damage and forecasted difficultes with higher poundages.
I offered the use of a wrist release aid to try but woud like to know what the rules are.

** I hate these terms. Makes it sound as though one group or other is somehow inferior.
When in discussion with 'disabled' people, I tend to use the terms Paralympians and Mundanes.
Always makes everyone smile
