AR15 American Rifle match (ARAR)

This competition is designed for shooters of all skill levels. The AR15 rifle style is owned by millions of Americans.
Its purpose is to challenge your marksmanship skills, increasing familiarity with your rifle, its safe handling, and the immediate resolving of failures when they happen (and they will!)
Importantly, to improve marksmanship, not from a steady bench and a deliberately slow fire which is the usual way targets are hit, but from different, dynamic stages more like ones used in real life.
Most assuredly, your skill level will improve, a lot!
