Very interesting!
I saw a Vice minidoc about a blind guy who hunted with a rifle. It's been a long time, and I don't remember how he managed, I think there was some kind of special system he used.

I haven't been to the gun range since my vision loss, but one of these days I will. I might even be better with a pistol now, because only have tunnel vision in one eye. I'll have to give that a shot one of these days.

I also only have tunnel vision in one eye. I'm really good at darts.

I used to be pretty good at darts, maybe I need to dig out the ole dart board!

Thanks for sharing.

There's also a legally blind archer who has competed for South Korea at the Olympics. He was a world number one and has set a world record for the most points in a ranking round.

Super interisting! I did archery for a bit during a scout camp, and I was absolutely terrible compared to everyone else during daytime, but I was slightly above average in the dark, despite the fact I have no central vision haha.
