New York archer from Washington County pursuing Paralympic dream

Chris Hall has never let his disability stand in the way of his hunting and fishing desires. The 28-year-old accomplished archer from Greenwich, in Washington County, N.Y., is primarily wheelchair bound due to a rare defective gene disease that has plagued him since childhood. But that’s not about to stop him from literally taking a shot a making the U.S. Paralympic archery team.
Hall is headed for the second of two try-outs, or qualifiers: the Gator Cup, taking place in Newbury, Fla., May 13-14. Should he succeed, a trip to Paris, France, in August and September to represent his country on the Paralympic archery course would be in order.
