The British Shooting Paralympic Programme returned from the USA Shooting Rifle and Pistol National Championships with nine medals, including four Golds.

The event had been upgraded to a World Shooting Para Sport sanctioned event to compensate for the cancellation of the World Cup in Korea and athletes from Korea, Ukraine, Canada, Brazil and Ireland joined GB and the hosts for a week of competition at Fort Benning.

With two matches in each event the competition experience will be vital preparation for the next World Cup in September in Croatia.
