With the help of modern technology, even the visually impaired can now try their hand at sports of shooting. Germany has developed a device for the visually impaired. This device has been brought to India for the first time and given to the visually impaired in Pune.
In shooting, the target is identified and aimed through binoculars. The same technique has been developed by these devices, one part of this device is in the rifle and the other part is on the headphones placed on the ear.
This device will do the work of target sighting for visually impaired shooters. This shooting game consists of ten targets
in a circle. The device sends a signal to the visually impaired when they come close to the main circle. Accordingly, the player has to aim with guesswork and practice.
Blind shooters have to acquire skills like how to handle the rifle, how to load bullets in it and how to operate it. Para Shooting National Coach Akash Kumbhar informed that next year Pune District Para Shooting Association will get another device. This device will now allow blind athletes to participate in yet another world-class sport; there is no doubt that this will brighten up their sports career.
