Paralympic archery (Large Print)

Synopsis

There are two images on this page: an archer in a wheelchair taking aim at the target, and a one-armed archer using his mouth to release an arrow. Each image has a dashed line image border. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up.Archer in a wheelchair - This image is on the left of the page. It shows an archer in a wheelchair. He is facing you but his head is turned to the right, so that only one eye can be found. The archer's head is just above and to the left of the image's centre. Down and to the left is one of his arms. It goes to the left, then bending at the elbow it goes right to his hand, which is obscuring part of his chin and neck. The hand is pulling the string of the bow back and holding the arrow, which he is aiming at a target to the right, beyond the image border. His other arm is stretched out horizontally to the right, where his hand holds the bow's handgrip. The bow has a sight (an aid to accurate aiming) fixed to the handgrip above his hand. The bow arcs left, up and down the page from the archers hand on the right. The bow's string is attached to the tips at the top and bottom of the bow and is being pulled back and tensioned by the archer's hand near his head. The arrow can be found parallel to and above the archer's arm on the right. The archer's body and legs are down the page from his head. He is seated on the wheelchair, which has its wheels to the left and right of his feet.One-armed archer using his mouth to release an arrow - This image, on the right of the page, shows an archer whose arm has been amputated at the shoulder, aiming at a target to the right, beyond the image border. He is standing facing you with his head turned to the right on the left centre of the image. He is wearing a baseball cap with the peak to the back and he has a beard. He is holding the knock (slotted end) of the arrow in his mouth, the string of the bow pulled back under tension, the arrow going across the page horizontally to the right. The archer's arm goes across the page from below his chin to the handgrip of the bow on the right; to the left he has a leather chest protector strapped on. The bow arcs left, up and down the page from the archers hand on the right. It has a sight attached to the handgrip. The bow's string is attached to the tips at the top and bottom
