We are excited to share that our club has secured a new range location, and we look forward to resuming ARA-sanctioned matches in early Spring 2027! We are currently working with the owner of Castle Firearms Training Center as we prepare for this next chapter, and we are truly grateful for the opportunity to continue the sport we all love. This partnership will allow us to carry on our tradition of hosting ARA matches while welcoming both familiar faces and new competitors to the firing line. As we look ahead, we also want to take a moment to honor and thank the incredible team at 41 Lead Farm. For several years, they generously opened their range to our club and made it possible for our ARA matches to thrive. Their support extended far beyond simply providing a place to shoot. Through their hospitality, friendship, dedication, and countless hours of service, they helped build the community we enjoy today. To the owners, the range manager, and every RSO who has worked alongside us over the years: thank you. Your commitment to safety, professionalism, and the shooting sports has never gone unnoticed. More importantly, the relationships formed during those years mean the world to us. 41 Lead Farm is not just a place where we held matches. They are family, and they always will be. We are profoundly grateful for everything they have done for our club and our shooters, and we wish them God's richest blessings in the years ahead. As part of this exciting new season, there will also be a transition in club leadership. Additional information regarding the appointment of a new Match Director will be announced after the beginning of the year as plans are finalized. While there are changes on the horizon, one thing remains the same: our commitment to providing a welcoming, competitive, and enjoyable environment for shooters of all experience levels. We believe God has faithfully directed our path, opening new doors while surrounding us with people whose friendship and support have made this journey so meaningful. Our hearts are full of gratitude for where we've been and anticipation for where we're headed. We look forward to gathering together again in Spring 2027 for another season of competition, fellowship, and fun. Please check back after the beginning of the year for additional updates, the announcement of our new Match Director, and the release of our official 2027 match schedule. Thank you for your continued support, encouragement, and friendship. We can't wait to see everyone back on the firing line in 2027. God bless.

It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of 41 Lead Farm’s closure. The range has been such a wonderful blessing to Lubbock Rimfire, always supporting our ARA matches and so many incredible events over the years. The owners aren't just partners in the sport - they are family. As they navigate this new season, we are keeping them close in our thoughts and prayers. May the Lord cover them with His grace and peace, reassuring them that as this door closes, He is faithfully preparing the path for what lies ahead. To our incredible Lubbock Rimfire family and every shooter who has graced the line at 41 Lead Farm - everyone who spent time on the range, mentored new shooters, shared their knowledge, and built lasting friendships - thank you. 41 Lead Farm was truly a place where you could walk in and instantly feel right at home. The camaraderie, memories, and bonds we built there will carry on long after those gates are closed. As we look toward the future, Lubbock Rimfire is actively exploring other options to host our community. At this time, we have not secured a new location to hold our ARA matches, but we will share updates as soon as more information becomes available. We truly appreciate your patience, support, and prayers as we work through this transition. With heartfelt love, prayers, and deep gratitude, Your Lubbock Rimfire Family

All competitors must have an ARA Competitor ID before registering for our matches. If you’re new to ARA and don’t yet have an ID, we’d love to help you get started. Simply visit the ARA website and register online. On the home page, look to the top‑right corner for the Login / Register link. Click Register, fill out the form, and submit it. Once your registration is complete, be sure to write down your Competitor ID and keep it handy — you’ll use this same ID at every ARA match, no matter where you shoot. Please note: shooters without an ARA Competitor ID will not be allowed to participate in our matches. We want everything to run smoothly for you, so taking a moment to register now will make your match day easy and enjoyable. We’re excited to have you join us, and we’re here to help you every step of the way.
