Inside the NRA's New Rifle Competition

Is it time to dust off your AR for some competition? In this episode of Gun Talk Nation, host Ryan Gresham sits down with Chad Barber of the NRA’s Competitive Shooting Division to talk about the launch of America’s Rifle Challenge (ARC) — a new, accessible rifle competition designed to bring more people into the shooting sports.

With under-100-round round counts, reduced-distance targets, support for pistol caliber carbines and rimfire, and options for indoor and outdoor ranges, ARC is built to be practical, inclusive, and fun.

This Gun Talk Nation is brought to you by Range Ready Studios, Black Hills Ammunition, NRA ARC, and Tokarev USA.
