Master the Skills to Protect What Matters Most. Professional Tactical Instruction for the Modern Citizen.
In a world where seconds count, the difference between a victim and a survivor is training. The American Firearms Network (AFN) provides elite-level defensive firearms training designed to bridge the gap between basic range shooting and real-world self-defense.
Whether you are a new gun owner or an experienced shooter looking to sharpen your tactical edge, our curriculum is engineered to build the muscle memory, mindset, and marksmanship required to prevail in a high-stress encounter.
Why Train with The American Firearms Network?
Our defensive programs are built on four core pillars:
Elite Certified Instructors
Our network consists of the nation’s top tactical trainers, including former military, law enforcement professionals, and competitive shooters. We bring real-world combat experience to every drill.
Reality-Based Training Scenarios
Standing still and shooting at paper targets isn't enough. Our courses utilize modern training methodologies to simulate real-world stress, including movement, use of cover, and rapid decision-making.
Safety-First
Culture
Safety is the foundation of everything we do. We instill a rigorous safety mindset that ensures you are a responsible and competent firearm owner both on and off the range.
Comprehensive Legal Education
Understanding how to shoot is only half the battle. We provide deep insights into the legalities of self-defense, "Stand Your Ground" laws, and the aftermath of a defensive encounter.
