SH2 (classification)
SH2 is a Paralympic shooting classification.
Sport
This Paralympic shooting sport class is designated to shooters with a more severe impairment in the upper limbs, which necessitates them to use a shooting stand. Unlike the SH1 class they shoot with a rifle only and not with pistols.[1]
Becoming classified
Sub-classifications A, B and C define wheelchair backrest height depending on back and pelvic strength per athlete. Ambulant or wheelchair using shooters regardless of sub-classifications A, B or C shoot together in this class.
Classification is handled by International Paralympic Committee Shooting.[2]
IPC Shooting Classification Rules and Regulations
The IPC Shooting[3] Classification Rules and Regulations were published and came into force in May 2012.[4] The rules reflect the wording of the IPC Classification Code and are a revised version of the previous IPC Classification Rules.
