- compound bows 
- recurve bows (better for first timers
2. Positioning;
Standing: Archers with upper-limb amputations, single leg amputation or those without balance issues will participate in the sport while standing.
Bracing: For those archers that may need assistance, but are interested in standing, consider a braced position. 
Sitting: If standing isn’t an option, archers can participate while sitting in their everyday wheelchair or on a stool.
3. Nocking the arrow: Archers with limited hand movement, can request assistance with placing the arrow onto the bowstring.
4. Drawing and releasing the bowstring: Drawing the bow requires arm strength and grip.  If you are unable to draw back the bowstring without assistance, you can request help.
5. Finger Tabs: For archers with limited grip, finger tabs and gloves can help.  Finger tabs are a flat leather device that fits between the finger and bowstring.
6. Bow Stands: Helps hold the bow so the archer can focus on just pulling back the string.
7. Mouth Tabs: Used to draw back the string.  The tab attaches permanently to the bowstring and is held between the archer’s teeth while drawing holding and releasing.
8. Mechanical Releases: For archers who use a compound bow, a mechanical release aid using a trigger mechanism can assist with the release of the bowstring.
9. Arrow Retrieval: A volunteer can be assigned to assist with arrow retrieval at the end of each round.

The game is typically played on a standard basketball court with two 20-minute periods. There are eight players on the court at a time, four on each team. A team consists of a goalie, a center, a strongside wing, and a weakside wing. The center controls the flow of the game, both offensively and defensively, as well as handles the ball distribution. The strongside wing works in tandem with the center to move the ball up the court while the weakside wing occupies the lane where the other two players are not located to ensure coverage. In most cases, players specialize in one of the positions.]]> 2020-03-16 19:00:19 UTC https://padlet.com/schmim03/hmc1mwsprin8/wish/462242146 SNOWBOARDING schmim03 https://padlet.com/schmim03/hmc1mwsprin8/wish/462242378 Sit snowboarding can be done on a mono-board.

Sled hockey is a sit-down version of ice hockey for players whose disability prevents them from playing stand-up hockey.
Rules;
The goal is still to put the puck in the net. Sled hockey players use their arms to power themselves around the ice and their hips to move side-to-side. There are six players for each team – three forwards, two defensemen, and a goalie. Play is on a regulation sized ice rink with standard size nets and puck. Checking and high-speed slapshots are common features of the sport. Two able-bodied referees call the game.
Who Can Play?
Sled hockey is played by a wide range of players with a variety of mobility limitations: amputees, spinal cord injuries, spina bifida, along with anyone who has a permanent disability that limits participation in stand up hockey.
