Americas Rifle Challenge

The National Rifle Association, as part of NRA 2.0 in 2025, is launching an AR based competition called the “America’s Rifle Challenge Program.” The NRA America's Rifle Challenge (ARC) is a competitive shooting program designed to encourage the “every day responsible rifle owner” to do more than just target practice at the range; it gives them a fun, exhilarating introduction to the action shooting sports with their AR.

NOTE: The NRA plans to release the full NRA America’s Rifle Challenge rule book as well as NRA ARC requirements for clubs/ranges no later than August 1^st, 2025. Be sure to join our email list for updates and follow us on our NRA Competitive Shooting Facebook page for more information.
