The AR-15 has been called “America’s rifle” for a reason. It is estimated that there are over 20 million ARs in various configurations across the country. While skill levels of shooters vary, for many, it is a platform that could use some work. Enter the NRA and the development of their America’s Rifle Summit (ARS). This program is designed not only to familiarize individuals with the rifle but also to equip them with practical skills. Today, the NRA has announced that the next ARS will be held at the legendary Gunsite Academy.
