Technology helping visually impaired hit the mark
As a young boy, Lyndon Powell used to shoot at tin cans with his father.
He's still practising the sport - but today he relies on his ears, not his eyes, to hit the target.
Lyndon, who began to lose his sight at the age of 17, is one of many who attend Tondu shooting club.
There, a new facility is helping blind and visually impaired people enjoy shooting practice.
Nicola Hendy went to meet them.
Visual impairment "no difference" for shooting
– Julie Thomas, chair of visually impaired society Bridgevis"Visually impaired people and shooting sounds a strange combination but it is really happening and we are all very excited.
This is one of the very few facilities available for people with a visual impairment around. I've had a go and for the first time the fact that I am completely blind made no difference. It was a completely level playing field. I managed to score four bulls-eyes out of five!"
New kit for visually impaired shooting
A brand new shooting range for the visually impaired is being opened today in Bridgend. Specially adapted equipment using lights and sound technology allows shooters to hit their targets.
The new facility at Tondu Target Shooting Club - which has existed under various names since the 19th century - has been launched with the help of Julie Thomas, who lost her sight four years ago.
