After finishing Handgun Training for Personal Protection I did not intend to write another book. But, when Gun Digest offered me an opportunity to write a beginner’s book on the AR, I thought that this would be a great opportunity to give all the new AR owners some basic guidance on what has become the most popular and politically abused firearm in the world. I also thought it would be a good way to illustrate to current gun owners and even non gun owners why the AR is the most popular and versatile firearm in the world.
The Shooter’s Guide to the AR is not intended for the well versed AR owner, this book was purpose written with the new or new to be AR owner in mind. That’s not to say there is nothing in this book for anyone who is an old hand at the AR, its just that it has been complied – cover to cover – as an introduction to this weapon system.
If you have never fired an AR or if you have fired less than 1000 rounds through an AR, The Shooter’s Guide to the AR should be just about right for you. It would also be a great gift for the new AR owner, particularly one you might have to share a range with.
This book is dedicated to a departed friend, James Guthrie. If Guthrie were still with us, he should have written this book instead of me!
I only have 75 copies on hand and they can be autographed and personalized as you wish.

Thought of ordering one for my son, who bought a S&W AR from the pro shop at Gunsite a couple of years back, when we were there for Buz and Sonja’s 25th Anniversary party. Decided against ordering online, as I never received my copy of your Personal Defense book that I ordered online when it came out. Not your fault, I know. I’ll pick a copy of your new book next time I’m at the ranch.
I enjoy your posts and forward a number of them. My new son in law inherited a Winchester Model 12 from his grandfather, some years back. Not long ago you posted an article you had written earlier about a man trespassing to revisit a favorite squirrel hunting spot he’d hunted with his grandfather. I forwarded your post to my son in law, because of the article’s mention of a well worn and much loved, Model 12.
I knew the article would resonate with him. And it did.He’s new to the shooting sports, introduced to him by my daughter.
Keep up your excellent work, Richard. Buz speaks well of you and as you know, that’s something that’s not easily earned. If you ever get to the Eastern Shore, around Salisbury, I usually have some pretty good bourbon on hand, even though I use a 30 06 for deer hunting. Look me up.
Matt, thanks for the comment. Where did you order my Handgun Training for Personal Protection book from? Me?
