Southern Arizona Firearms Educators (SAFE) is a group of firearms educators that work together to promote safe firearms education and participation in the shooting sports.

SAFE is organized as a 501 (c)3, non-profit Arizona Corporation, with elected Officers and Board of Directors.

What does SAFE do? 

SAFE is a Club affiliate of the National Rifle Association and the Civilian Marksmanship Program. 

S.A.F.E. provides equipment and instruction to youth groups such as the Boys Scouts Of America and 4H. We sponsor two Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation teams including the 'Straight Shooters' SASP Junior team and the 'WildGats' shooting team at the University of Arizona.  Our members can provide NRA Instructor and NRA Coach training classes when needed for team leader certification. 

S.A.F.E. sponsors free gun safety events called the NSSF 'First Shots' program.  This is offered two times per year at the Pima County SouthEast Regional Park range.  This family-friendly program teaches firearms safety and the basics of marksmanship to new firearms owners in our community.

We also facilitate NRA-approved classes such as Women On Target.  This class teaches women the safe, responsible use of firearms, the opportunities in the shooting sports and self defense with a firearm if it becomes necessary.

SAFE's Board of Directors encourage safe, responsible, and legal use of firearms.
