This sounds like a fun little event, there is a high possibility you might see me there since its not that far from me.
The NRA Competition Shooting Division is launching The AMERICA’s RIFLE CHALLENGE, an all-AR-based program to both build and test skills for shooters of all levels! On April 19, 2025, at Camp Atterbury, IN (just south of Indianapolis), the National Rifle Association is holding the America’s Rifle Challenge, a one-day, AR-based competition with two levels giving the competitor a fun, exhilarating introduction to the action shooting sports with their AR! There will be great NRA prizes and awards for competitors and winners.
VISIT https://arc.nra.org/ FOR MORE INFORMATION ON HOW TO REGISTER AND BASE LODGING
After the shooting has completed, we invite you to stick around for a free BBQ lunch for all competitors and one immediate family member or friend watching the match. American Rifleman TV and ShootingUSA will be filming the match and conducting interviews with competitors and spectators.
ARC has two event levels:
Level 1: The Level 1 course of fire is conducted from 10 out to 100 yards and consists of competitors firing from different positions under time constraints. This level of competition is for AR owners who are safe operators of their AR and wish to build skills and challenge themselves by shooting in various positions under time limits. This course of fire is appropriate for newer AND experienced shooters, as the target size, time limits, and positional shooting requirements provide an exceptional test of skill and accuracy. Level 1 is limited to the first 32 competitors (4 squads). Space in level 1 is very limited, sign up quickly.
Level 2: The Level 2 course of fire covers the full spectrum of what is possible with an AR. Competitors will face a variety of stages designed to test your skills while; shooting and moving, positional shooting skills, long-range precision out to 400 yards, speed, stage planning, and use of barricades, as well as close-quarters exercises. Level 2 offers a higher round count and more dynamics to the stages. If you are a safe operator of your AR and want to experience a match and test unlike any other competition with your AR, you should register immediately. Level 2 is limited to the first 60 competitors (6 squads)
NRA is accepting volunteer staff to help with the event! If you are selected the NRA will cover your entry fee for the staff match on the 18th, provide base lodging and meals. For more details visit: https://competitions.nra.org/competition-resources/event-support/

Well, with the Level 1 course starting at 10 yards we’re expecting great things here. 🙂

The whole of Comp Div can kiss both sides of my ass for what they’ve done to conventional high power. They’re despicable. No offence…..

They’ve all but abdicated leadership to CMP. They’ve made holding sanctioned matches harder and more expensive than CMP. They staff the national matches with idiots who either don’t know or won’t follow the rules and assholes who talk down to the competitors and wonder why attendance keeps going down. They blame the shooters for low attendance, by the way. Nothing is ever Comp Div’s fault. They can’t send awards and classification changes out to the shooters in a timely manner and their so-called Distinguished program is near impossible to achieve. And this year’s National Matches, they’re gonna run across-the-course and mid-range at the same time in two different states, with long-range in a third state, albeit a different time. None of this is in any way coordinated with the Camp Perry matches, by the way. They can’t even bring themselves to pass out 2nd and 3rd place team awards as called out in the National Match program. Also they’ve recently allowed changes to the rules at the national matches for a small group of people without making any attempt to notify any other competitors in time to take advantage of the changes.
Lots of other idiocy as well. For quite some time it’s been apparent they want to get out of all aspects of high power, and they’re well on their way to doing it.
I wrote head of Comp Div a polite and well-reasoned letter about all this and got a horse-shit reply back. I considered his reply an insult to my intelligence. Their attitude is, they’re doing the competitors a big, fat favor and we exist to serve them.
They suck, and there is no refining it. They should show some integrity and just admit they’re trying to kill it off. I could respect that.
