Amreica's Rifle Challenge Overview - The NRA America’s Rifle Challenge (ARC) presented by Daniel Defense is a program of shooting events with various levels designed to develop and test defensive rifle skills with other modern general purpose semi-automatic rifles, such as the AR-15. These matches are designed for all skill levels, and there are categories of participation for rifles with iron sights and optics, with any safe trigger and a manually operated mechanical safety, regardless of barrel length. They’re intended to pose marksmanship and rifle handling challenges that relate to what a person might expect to encounter in a defensive situation, including firing and reloading in a variety of positions, from different distances, testing both the accuracy and the speed of shots.

Note: Shooters may advance from the training to basic and advanced levels by various means which will be discussed when the official ARM rulebook is published in 2015.  ARM matches at various levels will likely be held throughout the United States in 2016. Shooters are NOT required to be an NRA member to participate in their initial ARM at PNTC.
