VISUALLY IMPAIRED
(a) Blindfolds: VI archers will compete in a separate classification than sighted archers. In the spirit of fairness, all VI archers will wear blindfolds and will, therefore, shoot with a tactile sight. This blindfold can be either a sleep mask or wraparound glasses or goggles and will be checked by the judge before and during the competition. Archers will wear blindfolds to remove any sight advantage.
(b) Tactical Sight: Adaptive equipment (foot-locator/tripod with sighting aid) may be used by VI archers and must be secured in place across the shooting line and may remain in place for the duration of the competition.
(c) Only VI archers are allowed to shoot at this position. If the VI archer qualifies to shoot in the elimination (medal) round, he/she may remain in the same position on the shooting line, even if his/her opponent is not on an adjacent target.
(d) The VI archer must be allowed time to sight-in prior to official shooting in order to position the adaptive sighting equipment properly on the shooting line.
1. VI assistants: VI archers are permitted to have an assistant.
(a) VI assistant role: The role of the VI assistant is to tell the VI archer where
their arrows are landing and also to inform them of any safety issues.
(b) Because a VI archer may also be using a mouth tab due to an arm
injury/illness/wound, the assistant may be allowed to load the competitors
bow in addition to calling the arrows on the target.
(c) No other information will be given during the shooting and the VI assistant
must try not to be a disturbance to other archers.
(d) When the VI archer has finished his scoring arrows, the assistant must retire
behind the waiting line.
(e) After the signal for the completion of that end of arrows, the assistant may
help the archer to set up equipment, adjust the sight, and guide the archer to
the target. He or she may also converse with the archer.
(f) The archer and assistant must be recognizable as partners and, when back
numbers are worn, both the archer and the VI assistant should wear the same
number
