Guides
These guides are the actual training materials we use in our in-person firearms safety classes in Texas. They represent the same curriculum and best practices we teach our students hands-on.
Our comprehensive guides cover everything from selecting your first handgun to starting your own range day, providing you with the knowledge and confidence you need.
If you have questions or feedback on the guides, please contact us at contact@armyourfriends.com.
