Rob, the founder and lead trainer of ERT is probably the most knowledgeable and professional trainer I have ever met or worked with. This man really wants you to have all the knowledge and tools to protect yourself and the ones you love. He not only opens the floor to discussion on every topic he teaches but he will demonstrate and explain why the techniques he teaches work well and why he prefers them over other styles and techniques.
I left the Pistol 1&2 course I took with him feeling confident in my own skills but hungry to learn more. If I could give more stars, I would!

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.

Bobby was amazing! Kept it interesting and entertaining. Very knowledgeable guy!

Mike is super cool guy. Made sure we had a great time. Would highly recommend!

Learning EVERYTHING CPR, Instructor very knowledgeable and I'm confident that if need be, I can save a life.

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.

I recently had the privilege of visiting this absolutely amazing place, and I cannot express enough how transformative the experience was for me. The staff are not just well-trained and professional; they exude a level of expertise and passion that is truly inspiring. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and supported, and it was clear that everyone there is deeply committed to personal and professional growth.

Throughout the event, I didn't just learn new techniques; I gained invaluable life lessons that have fundamentally changed the way I approach being a teammate—in business, in life, and in every endeavor I undertake. The workshops and activities were thoughtfully designed to challenge us and foster deep connections among participants. The level of team bonding that occurred was beyond anything I could have imagined. We didn't just work together; we built lasting relationships based on trust, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to excellence.

This was not just an event; it was a journey of self-discovery and transformation. I found myself stepping out of my comfort zone and embracing new perspectives. The insights I gained have had a profound impact on both my personal and professional life. I feel more confident, more connected, and more capable of contributing positively to any team I'm a part of.

I am absolutely planning to return, and I highly recommend this extraordinary staff and their programs to anyone seeking meaningful growth. Whether you're looking to enhance your skills, build stronger relationships, or simply take a step toward becoming the best version of yourself, this is the place to do it. It's simply outstanding—an experience that earns an A++++ in every possible way.

Went with 8 lads for birthday gathering on Sunday 1/5/2025. Was a great experience. We learned a ton. It was great to understand the breaching & clearing rooms to properly protect your family & community. Our trainers were Mike Simpson and Mike K. They were both very informative and we appreciated they were no bs type of men because this type of training is very important due to the current circumstances within the United States. We will be back and also be doing individual training and sniping training. Thank you

My fiancé and I just finished up with a training sesh. Absolutely had a blast. Our instructor Michael was top notch. He was very informative and was able to break it all down step by step, catering to independent skill sets. 10/10 will be going again. Its perfect for vacationers, as well. If you're just passing through the wild west and want a little taste of freedom, stop on in !

Mike was awesome!!! I took my brother and my boyfriend and they had a blast. Mike was so knowledgeable and really took the time to make sure the information that was given was also understood. We will definitely return!

Mike runs a great experience here. teaching and safety are at the top of the list while having fun during the experience. Would definitely recommend and do again! Send me one! Send me one!

Me and my dad booked the shoot house and it was a blast! Felt like we were real navy seals for 2 hours. Would be very fun for the whole family to do it but needless to say it was an awesome experience

My brother, dad and I did the Black Ops experience over the Christmas break and had a fantastic time! Mike was extremely prepared and detailed throughout our time together, made sure that safety was emphasized and thoughtfully answered our many questions. Though we all have a basic background with firearms, and that is beneficial, the experience could be done by anyone comfortable operating a long gun.

The experience is broken down into two components, a training session in which room-clearing procedures are presented and practiced, and then a live session which puts the training into practice. The latter component is scored and done several times with the goal of improving in different scenarios. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone in search of a fun, informative and interesting activity!

What an experience! We had so much fun about gun safety and how to clear around rooms while hitting targets!
Will definitely go again!! Mike was a great instructor!!

Great instructor and awesome lessons! I learned a lot from the long range course and would definitely recommend to anyone.

I highly recommend AZ Tactical! This was a birthday present for my 14 year old son. Our group consisted of our 11 year old daughter up to my 70 year old mother-in-law. Mike did an amazing job. He was able to teach us some basics of clearing a room of bad guys, while at the same time keeping it fun, exciting, and challenging.

The zombies Halloween event they hosted was so cool and really brings you back to your younger days in black ops zombies, 10/10 would recommend

Awesome experience. My son and I went through The Shoot House. The instructions provided made the experience safe and fun, and definitely look forward to doing this again or a different adventure.

This was absolutely one great experience!!! Mike does a wonderful job making you feel like you are in a real breach situation... I had so much fun... I learned a lot... and it was 100% safe... I would recommend this 10 times out of 10... I will definately be doing this again....

Very fun. Mike was super nice and respectful. He has a unique experience no one else can offer!

Awesome customer service, store was easy to go through. Tons of great items. Will definitely be returning to this store!

Incredibly well run! Such a great experience for our team. Couldn’t believe how detailed and professional the whole process was

Dagmarie was awesome. She was such a passionate instructor who taught with patience and understanding. She consistently asked questions for engagement and to ensure we were all clear on what we were learning. In the beginning, she stressed that she wanted the class to be a safe space to learn and she created that environment.

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.

Bought a gift certificate for my husband and son, as a Father’s Day gift. Sent them to the shoot house for a boys weekend. The fact that they couldn’t wait to tell me everything about their experience says everything about their experience. Our son was less than thrilled to be drug to this, but by adventures end, he owned an air rifle and is completely sold on tactical adventures. The professionalism of their instructor made the experience for both of them. My husband was able to enjoy the experience with his Boy, in a way that left without the instructor would have been difficult to achieve. They are both planning for the next time they can go.

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!

5 Stars

We had an absolutely incredible experience at Arizona Tactical Adventures’ shoot house! As a family of four, we were looking for something exciting, unique, and memorable—and this experience delivered beyond our expectations.

From the moment we arrived, Mike made us feel welcome and safe. His professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail were top-notch. The safety briefing was thorough yet easy to understand, putting everyone at ease, even for those of us who were less experienced.

The shoot house itself was an adrenaline rush! The scenarios were realistic, challenging, and tailored to our skill levels, making it fun and engaging for everyone in our family. We were blown away by how immersive and hands-on the experience was. It was like stepping into a real-life action movie!

Mike was patient, encouraging, and truly passionate about what he does. He made sure we left not only with big smiles on our faces but also with newfound confidence and skills.

This was, without a doubt, one of the most memorable family outings we’ve ever had. If you’re looking for an adventure that combines excitement, learning, and family bonding, Arizona Tactical Adventures is the place to go. We can’t wait to come back! Highly recommended!

THE BEST TRAINING YOU WILL FIND ANY WHERE, HANDS DOWN. IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS. THANKS SO MUCH ROB! I'LL BE BACK FOR MORE.

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!

As someone who never grew up shooting or hunting, I was fearful of using a gun. Rob and his instructors do an amazing job at teaching the basics, emphasizing safety, and making the classes fun. I've taken two classes now and feel much more comfortable holding a gun correctly. The courses are very practical as they discuss real situations that would require self defense. Rob is the best of the best in the industry.

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!

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.

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!

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.

He is a very patient and great instructor. Have taken many classes with him as well as my wife. Would definitely recommend him as an instructor.

AZ Tactical Adventures was great experience. The level of detail and realism the instructors invested in each operation was evident. We learned so many tactics and communication skills in high adrenaline situations and had fun. We did this as the capstone to a bachelor party weekend and couldn't stop talking about how great of experience Mike S provided us. Highly recommend to anyone remotely interested in tactics or trying something new. We all want to try the harder level objectives now.

What an experience!!! Mr. Mike was so helpful, very informative, patient, and funny. The course was truly one of a kind. I brought my bf down to AZ and this was a surprise excursion for him. We had an absolute blast! They have tons of different scenarios for different skilled shooters. We’ll definitely be back. Thank you.

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!

Very knowledgeable in his craft and a very patient instructor. Have taken many classes with him as well as my wife. Would definitely recommend him as an instructor.

We had a wonderful experience learning CPR, AED and first aid with Matt. He was so informative, friendly, funny, and he truly cares about people. His desire to help people by sharing his life-saving knowledge and experience is evident. We are all grateful for what we learned through our time with him. Thank you!!

I’ve taken a few firearm safety classes, but this was by far the best one I have taken. I walked away with knowledge and confidence after taking this class. Rob is amazing and knows exactly how to break everything down in a way that is easy to understand. He will answer any question you have in regards to firearms and does not hesitate to show you how to do something until you fully understand it. I am so excited to sign up for another course with him! An outstanding man and company! ☺️👍🏼

Mike Simpson is a great instructor. Excellent class, highly informative. Cannot say enough, every shooter should take this class, at least once.

Mike knows his stuff and imparts his knowledge in an easy-to-comprehend manner. My 13- year old boy and I had a fun, memorable experience. I would recommend to anyone.

10/10 recommend!! They are so kind and more than competent in their trainings. They desire to help you learn which provides smooth stress free training.

The store manager was super helpful and knowledgeable. I wish all purchases were this professional and pleasant. Above & Beyond expectations!!!
