I had a TransMet amputation of my right foot.

Re: Qualifying as disabled.
spektr,
sorry to hear about your amputation.
Paralympic eligibility is determined by medical classification.
The rules are available here:

Specific to your question, see Appendix One.
Unfortunately, I believe this rule is likely to be applicable to you:
[i][b]"Limb Deficiency (s720-750)
Amputation through the ankle (symes amputation); or
Dysmelia resulting in the absence of a full ankle joint."[/b][/i]

Re: Qualifying as disabled.
Where can one get classified for para? I can never find a good answer.
Re: Qualifying as disabled.
Check with USA Shooting to see if they will have a classifier at USANC or WAG or any other major matches you might attend.
That would give you a US-valid classification. IF you qualify for an international team, you'll get a full classification at your first WSPS competition.
