Last week in TR my group gave our presentation on Adaptive hunting and fishing. We focused on types of adaptive equipment, different state laws, and groups that help lead hunts for people with disabilities. My part of the presentation focused on all the different kinds of adaptive equipment that has been invented to give people with physical disabilities a chance to hunt as independently as possible.

I would group the two major types of adaptations as location adaptations and shooting adaptations. Locational adaptions include the used of hunting blinds or even lifts like the one shown above
 that allow the hunter to get high into the tree alone. Some other adaptations include different types of tripods and mounts. My personal favorite was a computerized system that can be controlled by a joystick and fired with a puff system that causes a shot to be fired by blowing through a straw


We also watched a couple movies about people who have various disabilities but do not let that hold them back from doing extreme sports
