The Abilene Bombers were a professional indoor football team. The Bombers were a member of the Lone Star Football League. The Bombers played their home games at the Taylor County Expo Center, in Abilene, Texas.

The Bombers began play as the Katy Ruff Riders, a 2007 expansion team of the Intense Football League. They originally played their home games at the Leonard E. Merrell Center in Katy, Texas. The Bombers relocated to Abilene, Texas at the conclusion of their 2008 Intense Football League season. From then on they were known as the Abilene Ruff Riders. On February 4, 2010, the Ruff Riders were purchased by a local ownership group. After the conclusion of their 2010 season, the team joined the Southern Indoor Football League. After the conclusion of their 2011 season, the team joined the Lone Star Football League. On April 17, 2012, the team changed its name and logo to the Abilene Bombers. They were later owned by BCPSA, LLC. In 2012 they joined the Lone Star Football League. They barely clinched a playoff spot with a 6-7 record, only to fall to the Amarillo Venom in the playoffs 70-40.
