Shooting
Cain is an SH2-classified shooter competing in 10m air rifle prone and 10m air rifle standing events.[2] He has been a Victorian Institute of Sport scholarship holder since 2008,[6] and is a member of the Springvale Range Club.[2] He is coached by Miro Sipek as an individual and when on the national team.[3]
As a youngster, Cain hunted with his father and cousin.[5] He took up the sport of shooting because it was one of the few available to people with his physical limitations.[8] As of 2012[update], he was sponsored by Miall's Gun Shop of Frankston, Victoria, who provided him with competition gear including cleaning supplies, a rifle case and a rifle. He holds two world records, one in the individual 600–600 R4 prone event, and another in the R4 10-metre standing event.[8][10]
Cain started competing in 2007, and made the Australian national team the same year.
Cain was selected to represent Australia at the 2012 Summer Paralympics in Mixed R5-10m Air Rifle Prone-SH2 and Mixed R4-10m Air Rifle Standing-SH2 shooting events.[2][3][8][18][19] Competing on 3 September,[20] he did not medal, finishing 27th in the standing event and 28th in the prone event.[3][21]
Most recently Cain had represented Australia in the 2016 Rio Paralympics. He competed in the Mixed 10 m air rifle standing SH2 and the Mixed 10 m air rifle prone SH2.[22][23] Cain did not medal, placing 26th in the standing event and 33rd in the prone event.
