Vanessa Warner, Manager of Disabled Shooting Services, recently met a group of disabled sportsmen in the state of New York:

Greetings from the very chilly north. I met with a couple members of the US Wheelchair Curling Team a couple of months ago. They were very excited about the possibility of competing with air guns and made arrangements for me to come to New York for an adaptive shooting clinic at the Sitrin Medical Rehabilitation Center in New Hartford, NY. New Hartford is approximately 50 miles east of Syracuse, NY.

I arrived at the rehab center Friday afternoon where I was greeted by Occupational Therapist and Adaptive Sports Program Director Marc Deperno. Marc and I quickly unloaded my vehicle. Not only was it terribly cold but the wind was blowing at 23 mph with gusts into the 30's. I ended up taking the scarf from around my neck and tying it around my head to cover my ears! While unloading the, car Dan from the Delta Divers in Rome, NY arrived to drop of the scuba tank of compressed air. Not only did they drop it off but Dan will be back on Monday (today) to pick them up! Big thanks to Dave (NRA Life Member) and son Dan of Delta!

Once the car was unloaded, we set up the Creedmoor Range Systems. Just shy of two hours later the ranges were assembled and the lighting and tables for the firing line were in place. Marc and I headed out for dinner.

A side note: If you are ever in New Hartford, I strongly recommend Georgio's Village Cafe! The wait staff was very professional, thorough, and the meal was one of the best I've had in a long, long time.
