Ingenuity
Victor Morris is paralyzed from the neck down. But loves to shoot his rifle. He shoots it with his tongue:
Being paralyzed from the neck down doesn’t stop 53-year-old Victor Morris from doing what he loves – firing his rifle. He had a special rig designed that allows him to fire using one of the only parts of his body that still move on command – his tongue! A native of Aberaeron, in West Wales, the quadriplegic had a rugby accident 24 years ago that left him in his current state. In spite of this, he hasn’t lost his spirit. In fact, he has even managed to beat other able-bodied shooters in international competitions.
Cool.

“he has even managed to beat other able-bodied shooters in international competitions”
Unless those able-bodied shooters are also able to put their rifles on a tripod, or are at least shooting prone, that’s hardly and apples-to-apples comparison.
