2020 was an interesting year, to say the least. Fortunately, sixty-two ARA clubs continued to stay active, safely holding matches. Forty clubs enjoyed both Unlimited and Factory Class competition with the Factory Class growing to 310 competitors. Despite the number of matches that had to be canceled and clubs unable to compete, ARA had its 2nd best year EVER with the number of tar-gets shot in competition being just short of our record breaking 2019 year. ARA IS ALIVE & WELL... and looking forward to 2021! The 2021 schedules are being posted to the ARA website and we are ready for a new year and new season of cama-raderie & competition. Best of luck, Stay Safe, Show Up & Shoot!
