Bowling Arm players started to participate in the All Abilities Championships in 2017 where they were part of the Physical Disability category.
In 2018 there was a separate category specific to Bowling Arms and over 24 players participated – doubling 2017 participation numbers.
Such was the interest that in 2019 the Bowling Arm players were given their own state event – the Bowling Arm State Championship Singles – held annually at Warnbro Bowling Club.
