i want to go shooting so badly, but after last year, im afraid to ask my parents to take me.
I was actually a little bummed as I didn’t pull the trigger once on that trip, the boys shot three times I think and I had leader issues during on of those times and the I recall the last time that there was some issue with shooting shotguns, oh well, I can shoot anytime I want really. You need to just ask them, it is time to start acting more like an adult. The worst that can happen is they say no.
These posts about Philmont and Boy Scouts really brings back memories, ff course shooting was the highlight of every boy scout at camp.

I’m glad you liked them.
I do like to go shooting and if I say so myself, I’m a pretty good shot, for a girl in a wheel chair.
I’m sure your chair is a fairly stable platform for shooting too. Get out and go for it.
I used to love shooting, but I really can’t safely hold a gun now. But I used to be a great shot in my youth.
You can still go shooting, some ranges have stands and/or tables and are willing to help set up the gun so you can pretty much just sit behind it and pull the trigger (well there is more involved, but you get the picture). Give it a shot (pun intended)
You really should find a range that will work with individuals in wheelchairs. They should be able to set you up with a stand or table with sandbags to steady the weapon.
