Born Without Arms, Matt Stutzman Sets His Sights on the 2012 Paralympic Archery Team
Matt Stutzman might be the only competitive archer who shoots with his feet.
Matt Stutzman might be the only man in the world who shoots a bow with no arms. Stutzman, 28, was born without arms and learned how to do everything from drive a car to shoot a gun with his own two feet. Even as a little kid Stutzman had a gift for focusing his attention on a task and figuring out his own way to get it done. Now his focus has turned to archery and qualifying for the 2012 Paralympic games. AdvertisementRelated PhotosSUBMIT YOUR PHOTOSADVERTISEMENTAdvertisement |

Writing as another born without two hands I can say,
We are the "watch me" people.
When others say you cannot we say "watch me"
We are able to do what every one else can for the most part.
We just do it differently with a little more thought.
I'll bet he is mentally sharp as a tack, it comes from having to think about everything even as simple as opening a door
Congratulations to his equipment sponsors. Who wrote the piece? Photo 10 "flashbulbs" really?
