Club Champion Challenge

A New Recreational Shooting Event for Home Town Shooting Clubs, Civic Organizations and Businesses


NRA Club Champion Challenge Introduction The NRA Competitive Shooting Division is proud to offer a new recreational shooting event for home town shooting clubs, businesses and civic organizations! Our goal is to create an intraclub events that anyone can shoot, beginner to expert. These events will be fun, relaxing and will encourage your members to try a variety of disciplines and courses of fire.

Challenge Standards Our philosophy is that this is a recreational and fun event. We want everyone to be able to grab guns out of their closet and come to the range and shoot. What it is not is a high level competition using state of the art competitive equipment and the use of this equipment should be discouraged. Any club or organization can participate and any range can configure a challenge. NRA membership is not a prerequisite! The format for putting these events on is as follows:

• Thirteen shooting events to choose from. • Minimum of three courses of fire required.
