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! read less

Real-World Firearms Training in Arizona
CONSIDER THIS.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
Imagine yourself in a situation where you need to act quickly to defend yourself or your loved ones. Would you have the training to act effectively? Would you know how to evaluate, to plan, and to act judiciously?
Training Perspective.
the ERT Way
We are here to bring you to a better understanding of your role as a well-trained firearms user. Our philosophy is based on the idea that a firearm is a tool. Tools amplify what is in the heart, mind, and ability of the user. An undisciplined and untrained shooter is a danger to everyone. If more people trained responsibly, the world would be a safer place.
OWNING A FIREARM
IS NOT ENOUGH:
Being untrained and unprepared is not an option. Only training and practice under proper guidance can give you the knowledge and confidence to be safe and competent, no matter if you are novice or advanced. Training is a continuous process and there is always more to learn.
