"We've been to hockey games, we fished. We used to go on the boat and water ski and go tubing, and sing mercy me," said Corey and Jerry Eighmy, Corey's dad.

But a year ago Corey's cerebral palsy got worse and left him paralyzed from the waist down. Now he spends most of his days indoors, so being out here at Andy Dalton Shooting Range is special.

Today he learns to shoot a gun.

"He's got a disability but we work through it. I wouldn't trade it for nothing," said Jerry Eighmy.

Corey's motor skills are limited but that doesn't stop him.

"One thing about him he's a problem solver, ever since he was a wee one. If there's something he wants to do he figures out how to do it," said Jerry Eighmy.

The outdoor adventure fair has plenty of accessible equipment to help Corey.

"There's adaptive extensions on triggers, harnesses that hold the gun," said Greg Greven, disability advocate of Southwest Center for Independent Living.

Corey's dad fixes the equipment to the wheelchair and after a quick lesson Corey takes his first shot.

"Good job," said Jerry Eighmy.

It was a feeling of accomplishment for Corey and for his father... the reward of seeing his son succeed.
