# Shooting at the 2016 Summer Paralympics

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.
