Because I am in a wheelchair and have balance problems which requires me to be strapped in tightly. Shooting skeet/trap/sporting clays from a seated position will it work for me?
 
I’ve seen a fellow shoot trap at our range in a wheelchair and he seemed to have no problems. Skeet would be a little more challenging but I am sure you can do pretty good. The last stage they put you in between the trap houses so the transition is the quickest and may be difficult. I say have at it and I’m sure you will have a ton of fun.

Your good to go takes less strength then opening a jar of pickles to shoot a shotgun.

Lots of clubs have gotten grants to make sure they are wheel chair friendly.
 
I took a trap shooting clinic and one of the guys was in a wheel chair. He did just as good if not better than the rest of us. I don't know where you are located in Ontario, but the Peterborough trap club is totally wheelchair accessible including the clubhouse, trap fields and washroom facilities.
PM me for more info if you want.

Trap shouldn't be an issue, skeet may be tougher to pivot side to side, and some sporting clays stations may be tough, especially where you need to shoot down over railings.
