Jamie Cap, 46, was injured in an accident 30 years ago while playing American football. A head-on tackle resulted in a neck injury that left him a quadriplegic and robbed him of hunting, one of his passions.
But after a 2 1/2 year legal battle, Mr Cap has won the right - with the help of a partner - to use a 12-gauge shotgun fitted with a battery-powered machine that is operated by a breathing tube. He can adjust the angle by nudging a toggle switch.
He fired his first shot in three decades last week, describing the experience as priceless.
