there ARE exception to every rule! did these friends drive the boat, ride the motocycle and ride a bike all over with out anyone with them? each of these activitys require a sighted "helper" yes 80% of blind people could accomplish each of these things, but not without help..be reasonable..and yes a blind person could shoot as suggested also..as long as there is little or no masking noise to cover up the sound of a person moving about. but put a stationary target out there and just hand them a gun and say hit the target..no cheating by lining them up, or telling them where its at....just doubt it would work.....and yes I know there are Blind people who can use a "chirper" to shoot HOOPS and Golf, maybe many others. but not on the fly they cant..otherwise the states would issue drivers Licenses to blind people!! and as far as memory..they devolope excellent ones..most can memorise their home and yard down to the smallest item..just dont move anything or they will trip over it or be unable to find it.
