New Gun Owner:
If you are a new gun owner or contemplating purchasing a firearm, you have come to the right place.
Learning Process:
The learning process begins with finding a trustworthy team who can take you through the first steps: what to buy, how to use, where to begin! WE'RE HERE TO HELP.
We Believe:
We believe that guns are tools. Tools amplify the abilities of the user. The user has to be prepared to acquire the necessary mental and physical skills, one step at a time.
Our philosophy:
Our philosophy dictates that every person who owns a weapon must acquire the necessary training of Mind and Body in order to take action in a responsible way. Not only must you learn as much as possible about the firearm you own and how to use it, but also know how to be mentally prepared to handle yourself in a difficult situation.
What our students say!
Great experience. Informative, professional and concise. Signed up for the Shoot House and learned some skills from Michael. My friend and I had a blast. My only complaint is that I wish I could do it all day long haha great people and a great time. Highly recommend! Thank you guys!

What a day! Our lead instructor was Mike, and he was amazing. The course was organized, structured, and thorough. His information and instructions were clear and concise. For me, the most reassuring thing was the emphasis on safety. Mike and his team were very stern and direct with all safety protocols, which made me feel much better about having my son there learning with me. The time flew by, and by the time we left we felt confident in our ability to handle an AR-15. While the cost was a little more than some other places, but it was well worth it. If you're looking for a firearms course in the Phoenix area, this is the place you want to go to. Thank you Mike, Ben, and the rest of the team for your amazing work.

Hands down the best training I've ever received. I've attended classes with other well known instructors which I thought were good (at first). However, Rob's classes are next level. I've taken multiple ER Tactical classes and look forward to taking many more. Rob also has an impressive beard.

I contacted Rob to get some instruction on how to handle a pump gun and Rob delivered. We had a 1:1 session and he taught me everything I needed to know.
We even discussed home defense etc. Very good teacher. He knows how to transfer Knowles to his students.

Rob is pure class. I have trained with a few other instructors, but when I took my first class 6 years ago I knew I had made a great decision. All aspects of the weapon systems were covered, and an intimate knowledge of everything we touched was available via Rob. I have taken dozens of classes, and will continue to support this veteran owned and operated business! Thank you Rob!

By far large one of the greatest and most informative experience I've had when it comes to tactical training.
I have trained with elite companies all across the country and This company and Rob blows them away.
While the instructor pushed me to my limit I felt completely safe and walked away with a great understanding.
I highly recommend any of the courses and I look forward to taking additional tactical training in the future

I have taken multiple courses with Rob Orgel with ERT and can honestly say that I have learned so much from him - safety, weapons handling, and like everyone's goal, hitting the target successfully. Rob Orgel is very knowledgeable!! Being a marine veteran and firearms instructor for ten years and private contractor in Baghdad for four years, he uses his skills and expertise to educate those that have a great interest in firearms and firearms training. Highly recommend!!!!

Rob and his team are highly knowledgeable in each area and the introduction class I took taught me everything I needed to know about safety, aiming, and basic skills. They focus on each and every person to help them at the level they are and I learned so much about gun safety! I wouldn't put my life in anyone else's hands except ER Tactical!

The best kept secret in the firearms training industry! I've attended training with some of the biggest names in the firearms industry and they don't compare to the level of real world skills, informations and practical systems that you learn from Rob. Whether you're new to firearms or a seasoned shooter, Rob manages to tailor his training to work with you. Best of all, Rob makes training fun and engaging. I've attended over 10 training classes with Rob and plan to attend many more.

Quite Possibly the Best Firearms Instructor on The West Coast. His methods and curriculum are very well thought out. He’s not concerned with this trend or that….his main concern is economy of motion. Not just pistol or carbine, or shotgun, he teaches all mediums. Good instruction is worth every Penny. Would recommend him for you child and your grandmother!

Here in Phoenix from out of state with the family so my son can attend a basketball camp. Looking for something interesting to do, I thought I would try Tactical Adventures. I go to the website and see the hours conflict with my son's camp. I decide to call just to see if it was possible to make arrangements for a later tour. I spoke to the owner Mike who was more than accommodating and we scheduled a time that allowed us to experience this once in a lifetime adventure. My wife, teenage son and I had an absolute blast! Mike ensures safety and fun and was very patient in his explanation of the process. I HIGHLY recommend this experience. My wife was even asking if we can go again before we return to Kauai.

We learned stuff from trained professionals while having a great time and knowing our safety was taken very seriously. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we went back for more even it if was over an hour away and we had limited time. I highly recommend, they'll make it worth your visit plus you'll have great pictures.

Took pistol 1 and 2 from Rob. I learned core shooting techniques that i've never seen and achieved draw times I never thought was possible for me. Rob as a person is very humble and answered all our questions thoroughly and in depth. I will be taking more classes with Rob

Best practical / tactical training ever. Rob is highly engaging as an instructor and provides a wealth of knowledge on a variety of subjects at a reasonable cost. Taking classes with ERT have unequivocally made me a better competition shooter, hunter, and marksman. If you're at all interested in things that go bang, you would do well to book a session with ERT.

My fiancée refuses to train with anyone else in the industry. Rob's resume speaks for itself-but on top of that, the classes are affordable and the emphasis on safety and protection is key. You will also never meet a person who knows more about weapons and using them. His classes cover anyone from beginners to pros. He offers some classes that are specific to women, but also will let a woman jump in any of the normal classes as well. He truly treats his clients like family, and everyone has fun along the way. Our family will always recommend ERT!

Their system is honed to perfection, yet they are fully engaged and make you feel like a VIP every step of the way. We liked it so much, we are going back for more this same week.

My 1:1 Shotgun class with Rob was exactly tailored per my needs. He addressed the many options on employing this type of weapon and the corresponding ammo, which was exactly what I wanted to know from him. Once we started putting the theory to practice everything made sense. This was a no-nonsense class with no egos, which makes Rob a fantastic instructor who I will want to learn from in the future as well.

Rob is a great instructor and has taught several private classes for my family and me. He is extremely safety conscience while making the the learning environment enjoyable. And, above that, he has walked the walk overseas and is the real deal. As someone who has attended training with many different instructors, I have never seen someone handle firearms with the precision Rob possesses. He is a complete professional but also handles himself with humor which makes for an memorable learning experience.

That means he has mastered his subject and he communicates the facts to students better than most.

My wife and I are senior firearms instructors at a facility in Indiana and were very impressed with what Arizona Tactical Adventures offered. The opportunity to work as a pair or team of 4 working trough tactical room clearing scenarios using night vision equipment was incredible. Mike, the instructor,, did a great job of making sure everyone was having a great time, but maintained a focus on safety throughout. Mike also did a great job adapting the 2 hours to the level of experience of each person present. I would HIGHLY recommend this company to anyone! Mike will take care of you and you will have an awesome and unique experience. We were so impressed we are working at bringing a group of instructors out to take more training with Mike later this year.

The team at ER Tactical surpassed my expectations from the moment they answered my call. Most every experience I have had up to this point in the firearms industry had been negative and had revolved around dudes with guns making you feel dumb for being a rookie. That was not the case here. I went from 0-100 after meeting this team and have taken more than 25 hours of individual training. I've learned proper and every day applicable defense techniques, how to properly use an optic to shoot long range and with their help, I was able to learn how to build my first AR15. I can't say enough about the professionalism and knowledge these guys have. Thank you ER tactical!
