V1 (classification)

A version of this classification first appeared in 1998 during the world championships, when the sport's governing body decided to pilot a classification programme. At the time, there was a classification called W2, which was for all standing archers with disabilities.{{cite web|url=http://www.archery.org/content_print.asp?c_id=5532&p_id=1|access-date=9 April 2012|title=History of Para-Archery|publisher=FITA Para-Archery Committee}}{{Dead link|date=July 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}
