David Tarrant (1935/1936 – 2018) was a New Zealand Paralympian who competed in sport shooting.
Tarrant lived in Christchurch. At the age of 31, a fall from a tree left him a paraplegic. He set up a shooting range across his living room with the target hooked into the stairs.[1] At the Australian national paraplegic games in 1979 he won a gold medal and set a world record in the air pistol event with a score of 363 out of a possible 400.[2] At the 1980 Summer Paralympics in Arnhem, he won a bronze medal in the Mixed Air Pistol 2-5 event.[3] He died in 2018.
