I currently use a wheelchair to get around\u00a0because in 1996 I had a motor vehicle accident and broke my neck at C6-T1\u00a0vertebra. When I was at the spinal unit, I saw people who did archery. After getting out of the spinal unit, I started doing a degree in\u00a0information technology but I also wanted to take up a hobby, so I thought I would take up archery. When I went along to archery, the man who looked after it took one look at me and he said to me: &#8220;I think there\u2019s something wrong with your back.&#8221; I was thinking, &#8220;I don\u2019t think he\u2019s too interested to help me.&#8221; But anyway, I stayed and I watched. People were shooting the arrows, and when they missed the targets at the end of every round, they would stop, blow the whistle, and go hunting for their arrows. The people who missed the targets would pull out metal detectors because they had to hunt around in the grass, looking for the arrows. And I looked at my dad who came along with me and he looked at me and we were like: &#8220;Hmm?&#8221; So I left feeling a little bit like despondent, you know, a bit bummed out.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"font-size: 21px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">But this one day I was back at the spinal unit and they\u2019ve got a sport and recreational place where they gave me a brochure about target shooting at this club that was not very far from my house. And I went along. They were super friendly and helpful and they\u00a0let me have a shoot straight away. I thought that this is crazy. They give out guns\u00a0to people with disabilities? This is awesome!<\/span><\/p><h2 style=\"font-style: normal;\"><span style=\"font-style: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">How\u00a0did you do on your first shoot?<\/span><\/span><\/h2><p style=\"font-size: 21px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">I hit\u00a0the target, I can\u2019t remember, but it was OK. I was just shooting off a wobbly\u00a0platform.<\/span><\/p><h2 style=\"font-style: normal;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Was that the first time you held a rifle?<\/span><\/span><\/h2><p style=\"font-size: 21px; font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">No. When I was a kid, I had an air rifle.

But I hid another rifle under the bed and I was playing air rifle with my nephew. He\u2019s two years younger than me and I think we might have been around 10 and 12. I accidentally shot him! I mean, I <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: inherit;\"><i>was<\/i><\/span><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\"> aiming and I shot him through a knot in the wood in the neck, but he was fine.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5be7073 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5be7073\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 style=\"font-style: normal;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: inherit; font-size: 2rem;\">Can you tell us a bit about WSPS shooters?<\/span><\/h2><p style=\"font-size: 21px; font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">So, yeah,\u00a0<a style=\"font-style: normal;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.paralympic.org\/shooting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WSPS, World Shooting Para Sport<\/a>. It\u2019s definitely a mouthful! There are different categories: the athletes in category SH1 have good upper body strength and good hand function and they can hold the rifles themselves. The SH2 athletes, which is my classification, use a stand or a spring that the rifle rests on. If you\u2019re an SH2, you have a loader and that person assists you with your equipment and your rifle and loads your rifle, so you become a pair in the competition. And then there\u2019s another category which, I when I first heard about it, I thought \u201cOh my God\u201d, and that&#8217;s the SH3 \u2013 the visually impaired shooters. I was thinking: &#8220;What? They give guns to blind people <i>and<\/i> disabled people? This is so cool!&#8221;<\/span><\/p><h2 style=\"font-style: normal;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">What equipment do the visually impaired shooters use<\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\">?<\/span><\/span><\/h2><p style=\"font-size: 21px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">They use a special system that turns light signal into a sound signal, and they wear these headphones on their head. As they aim closer and closer to the target, the tone of the sound gets higher and higher. Once they reach the middle, they pull the trigger and hit the target.<\/span><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55dd4e1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"55dd4e1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aimingart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Michael-Johnson-1-1024x576.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-5880\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aimingart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Michael-Johnson-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.aimingart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Michael-Johnson-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.aimingart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Michael-Johnson-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.aimingart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Michael-Johnson-1-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.aimingart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Michael-Johnson-1-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.aimingart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Michael-Johnson-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-09ce1a5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"09ce1a5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><b style=\"font-size: 2rem; font-style: inherit;\">Within these categories, you have different events.<\/b><\/h2><p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">In the World Shooting Para Sport, WSPS, there are a number of different events depending on your classification and the events that you can shoot. They have different codes from R1 (R stands for rifle) through to R11; and P (for pistol) from P1 to P5. Let\u2019s take for example R4 which is air rifle standing and one of the events that I shoot. This event comes closest to able bodied shooting and it was the first event that I started shooting because all the able-bodied shooters shot standing and I wanted to shoot with them. [Standing means that your rifle is placed on the spring but your arms must not be supported; in the prone event, your elbows can be supported by a table mounted on your wheelchair or similar setup.] So that\u2019s how I shoot and the current world record in that particular category, which is mixed, so both men and women shoot together, is 637.4.<\/span><\/p><p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">In WSPS shooting, we shoot air rifle and air pistol, but also small bore and shotgun. Small bore rifle shooting is 50 metres outdoors, you use .22 calibre bullets. As you shoot, you need to navigate what the wind and the outdoor conditions are doing\u00a0<\/span>\u2013<span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">\u00a0the wind can actually push your bullets off course. You might be aiming at the centre of the target, but say for example the wind is blowing from the left to the right, it will push your bullet in that direction. Depending on whether it\u2019s sunny or dry, that will also affect where you\u2019re aiming and where your bullet hits the target. So you might be aiming at the middle of the target, but when the sun comes out, it gets really bright. There\u2019s a little bit of a mirage, which is a shimmering off the ground from moisture. And then your bullet will hit the top of the target. There\u2019s all sorts of different things and I really like shooting outdoors because of those variables, it just makes it that a little bit more challenging and a little bit more fun.<\/span><\/p><h2><b style=\"font-size: 2rem; font-style: inherit;\">You mentioned that SH2 shooters can have a loader. What is their function? Can they assist you with for example reading the wind?<\/b><\/h2><p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Yes, the SH2 shooters can have a loader, but loaders are not allowed to coach the shooter in any way, so the shooter must make all the decisions and convey that information to the loader and then the loader can make any adjustments for the shooter. But apart from the loader loading the rifle, they will set their equipment up, they\u2019ll make sure that the athlete&#8217;s shooting suits or jackets are on and done up, if they can\u2019t do them up themselves, they will lug their gear around and set up their rifle. So it\u2019s quite involved and finding a good combination between shooter and loader is extremely critical because each person can affect the other person and you want to be harmonious. This will give you best results.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-25dc0d1 e-transform e-transform elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"25dc0d1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_transform_scale_effect&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:0.8,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;_transform_translateX_effect&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;_transform_translateX_effect_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;_transform_translateX_effect_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;_transform_translateY_effect&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;_transform_translateY_effect_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;_transform_translateY_effect_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;_transform_scale_effect_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;_transform_scale_effect_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 30px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">Finding a good combination between shooter and loader is extremely critical because each person can affect the other person and you want to be harmonious.<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fbc9216 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fbc9216\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><b style=\"font-style: inherit; font-size: 2rem;\">Have you had many loaders in your long career?<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">I have been doing target shooting for 21 years now.

You have many shooting roles.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">Yeah. I have many different hats. I am an athlete and coach and also the programme lead for my sport. I\u2019m also on the Paralympics New Zealand Athletes\u2019 Council and I used to be the athlete representative for the World Shooting Para Sport for about four years. So yeah, I just like to give back. I can see that there\u2019s so many benefits of coaching and supporting other people that can actually help you if you give back.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-style: normal;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: inherit; font-size: 2rem;\">What are your tips or advice for young disabled people who wish to take up a sport and are interested in shooting?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">Similar to my advice in life in general, I think. For example, if you\u2019re looking for a career, find something that you really enjoy doing. Shooting for me is not only a hobby, but also my job. I enjoy doing what I do and it\u2019s turned into something that I can make a living with, travel the world, and meet lots of new people and new friends. It\u2019s finding your passion and not being afraid to give a whole lot of things a go. Whether you fail or you succeed, I think it\u2019s just <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: inherit;\"><i>trying<\/i><\/span><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">, that\u2019s the main thing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-style: normal;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: inherit; font-size: 2rem;\">And that goes for shooting as well?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Yeah, absolutely. So shooting does have its own challenges. Not only is it physically challenging, it\u2019s mentally challenging as well. I\u2019ve been shooting a long time, but I\u2019m always continuously trying to improve, looking for new and better ways of doing things. And I think that sort of stuff makes the sport fresh for me, because if you always stay in one place, you can get stagnant and you can get bored. So always look to challenge yourself.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-style: normal;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: inherit; font-size: 2rem;\">Do you have an&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aimingart.com\/sl\/psychological-pointers\/pressure_sos_exits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SOS exit<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: inherit; font-size: 2rem;\">&nbsp;for the mental challenges you encounter on the line?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Yeah, so recently I\u2019ve been using a breathing technique where I breathe quite rapidly in through the nose, take one deep breath through the nose and then slowly breathe out of my mouth. And I repeat that, say two or three times, and that really helps to lower my heart rate.<\/p>\n<p>And there\u2019s another technique I\u2019ll use. I will say: What are three things that I can hear? What are three things that I can see, and what are three things that I can feel. That helps ground me and stay focused.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-style: normal;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: inherit; font-size: 2rem;\">And last but not least,&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aimingart.com\/sl\/shooting-notes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">writing notes<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: inherit; font-size: 2rem;\">, yes or no?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Definitely yes! And&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aimingart.com\/sl\/shopn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Strelski zvezek<\/a>&nbsp;\u2013 what an amazing resource, fantastic! Definitely yes, because at moments when you might be testing ammunition or changing your front sights, you want to write down the key points because you can easily forget them just the next day. So if you\u2019ve got Shooting Notes, make sure you keep it in your bag or in your shooting kit or with your rifle or your pistol or whatever you\u2019re doing so that it\u2019s nice and handy!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c18e4aa elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c18e4aa\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6742e93\" data-id=\"6742e93\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-4723e9c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4723e9c\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-bc14a13\" data-id=\"bc14a13\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e0b6570 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e0b6570\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"218\" height=\"300\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.aimingart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Michael-Johnson-218x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-image-5879 lazyload\" alt=\"A portrait of New Zealand shooter Michael Johnson wearing a black hat\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aimingart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Michael-Johnson-218x300.jpg 218w, https:\/\/www.aimingart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Michael-Johnson-743x1024.jpg 743w, https:\/\/www.aimingart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Michael-Johnson-768x1059.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.aimingart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Michael-Johnson-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/www.aimingart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Michael-Johnson-600x827.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.aimingart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Michael-Johnson.jpg 793w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 218px) 100vw, 218px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 218px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 218\/300;\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-d81a9a4\" data-id=\"d81a9a4\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-98f5c2f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"98f5c2f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"letter-spacing: -0.6px; color: #000000; font-size: 21px;\"><strong>Michael Johnson<\/strong> (1973, New Zealand) is a World Shooting Para Sport legend with 5 consecutive Paralympic Games under his belt.
