I took my first firearms training course at ERT many years ago and have taken many more since. The lead instructor (Rob) is very knowledgable and is able to provide the information in a format that is easy to understand, regardless of your experience level. You can be confident that you will be getting quality training in a comfortable, safety oriented environment.

Wow, my family was blown away by the experience! We were not sure what to expect but have had some training in the past with both firearms and active shooter situations. Mike was our guide for our shoot house adventure and he is also the owner. His knowledge and expertise really shines as he allows you to learn at your pace while delivering his years of experience to you in a digestible manner so you do not feel overwhelmed. We had a great time learning, and experiencing what happens in high tense situations and we felt safe the entire time. Do not hesitate to confirm your booking here as you will not be sorry!! Thank you for hosting us Mike!

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.

My wife and I just had an amazing time visiting Mike at AZ Tactical Adventures! Their training program was incredibly comprehensive and thrilling. It was one of the best experiences we've had, and we're definitely planning to return! Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-notch tactical training! Doesn’t matter if you’re new, inexperienced, or a seasoned veteran, they have something for everyone.

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.

An experience you will always remember and will try to attend again. Mike was great in walking us through the step by step. You will leave satisfied and with great pictures

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

Trained long range rifles with rob and ER tactical and learned so much in a short time. I now have a full knowledge of my firearm and scope. I’m safer, more accurate and confident with a healthy respect for firearms than I’ve ever been before. Definitely worth the time and money.

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.

Super informal, the people there were super nice. If I might add you get what you pay for quality product. REI didn’t have water resistant boots but 5-11 did! So if you’re looking for outdoor gear that’s durable and comfortable I recommend them

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 !

I live locally and have taken several dozen courses with owner/head instructor/Air Force veteran Mike Simpson over the last two years. It becomes obvious very shortly after meeting him that he is a master (and also a never-ending student) of his arts: tactics, leadership, and business among many others. Perhaps more importantly, he possess the ability to teach the skills he has developed in both the military and civilian worlds to others in a way they can understand. He will encourage you when you need it, and push you when you need that instead. All while still enjoying yourself! His scenario-based courses are an excellent combination of fun, adrenaline rushes, physical fitness, mental discipline, and problem solving. Mike is a professional in the truest sense of the word, and in many ways has become a personal mentor. I have no hesitations about recommending his training and adventures to you. I make the same recommendation to those I know in my personal life and have brought family from out of town, personal friends, co-workers, and neighbors along with me to classes. They have all enjoyed themselves thoroughly, despite vast differences in experience, age, fitness, and interests. If you take one of his adventures there is a high probability you will be left wanting more afterwards.

Bob was informed and hilarious. He definitely needs to branch out and teach way more things. There could be some signs to in the hallways to show where the classroom is though.

Our Daycare staff had our CPR/AED/First Aid class with American Emergency response yesterday. I just have to say that Ms. Tatjana was an amazing instructor! She was punctual, set up quickly, had a wonderful attitude, energy, and great knowledge of the course work. It is wonderful to see individuals who put a lot of effort into what they do! I highly recommend you request Ms. Tatjana as your instructor with American Emergency Response!

Rob is extremely knowledgeable in his field. I appreciated his excellent training skills. Will definitely go back for more training!

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.

My son and partner went this past weekend and they both loved it. My partner was an infantry in the Marines, and was also very happy and satisfied with the instructor. The fact that they take time to give you feedback And continue to work with you. You definitely come out more knowledgeable and feeling better about yourself. My son would be army infantry, so this is great knowledge for him to know not going in with zero experience. I enrolled him in the lifetime membership. I believe that was the best decision. I could’ve done getting such great training there. Thank you so much to the owner. Such a great guy takes the time to talk to you and takes really great care of you.

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.

The instructor (Jamie Philips) did an excellent job teaching us these life saving skills. I would recommend her a million times over! She was fun and made the learning fun! It was an awesome class!

Great guys! You will learn more here than any other school on skills you will use in real life. Rob is one of the best instructors around.

The place was amazing had a great time the instructor was very patient with individual students with no experience some had never held a weapon before but by the end you could see they were much more confident. Highly recommended

Lots of knowledge. If I lived here I’d be coming down for training at least 3 times a month. Would recommend to all levels. Great staff

Rob is probably the best instructor I've ever encountered. He has mastered his subject and he has a knack for breaking down a block of instruction into easily understandstandable sections. I took his basic precision rifle course and will also be enrolling in advanced courses to enhance my skills. Strong recommend.

I took my 15-year-old son to the Shoot House Mission at Arizona Tactical Adventures, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that safety was their top priority. Mike, our instructor, was highly professional and walked us through every step—covering weapon handling, room entry techniques, and effective team communication. The scenario felt incredibly realistic but was always controlled. My son was engaged, challenged, and learned a lot—not just about tactics but also discipline and teamwork. The use of non-lethal training weapons made the experience both safe and exciting. This was a great father-son bonding activity, and I appreciated how seriously Mike took his role in keeping it both fun and secure. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique, action-packed adventure that prioritizes safety and learning. We’ll definitely be back.

Great place, and Mike is a great guy. He has a great crew of people. Genuinely cares about creating a great experience for people of all skill sets. I started January of 2023 and have endeavored to show up nearly every weekend. For women, I highly encourage they try this. Not only to help with confidence, but to build your tactical skills.

Had an amazing time!!

I underestimated how well it was going to go, but this is an experience like no other.

The tactics that were taught were beginner friendly and Mike Simpson did an amazing job teaching everything needed to conduct CQB, everything was evenly paced and methodically done, even when you mess up, he knows how to get you back on track and learn from those mistakes.

Overall I would love to go back and enjoy the other experiences available!!

I walked into this unsure about whether or not I was ready for this purchase.

I've been back and forth.

After training with the lasers, I learned I was left eye dominant and it was seemingly difficult plus heavy to shoot.

It was extremely uncomfortable.

Ironically, the loaded weapon was far more comfortable and simpler to use.

The owners were patient, informational, intentionally amazing hosts and this is a must have educational experience.

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.

Best weapons instruction in the US! I was a Combat Instructor with Rob @ the School of Infantry

The best birthday adventure!! My husband and four of his friends spent the day today with Mike completing the shoot house adventure. They had fun, felt safe, and had access to state of the art technology, weapon systems, and tactics! Such a great experience.

store is always clean and neat, Missy is always pleasant and aware of what is happening in the store. Calls me by name and is willing to check stock on products. Always enjoyable to visit the store.

By far the best firearms course I attended so far. Rob Orgel has the right experience and mindset to create a unique, superior firearms course. Rob focuses on the most important aspects of using a handgun. Rob is a true master of his craft.

It was a pleasure training with Rob. My wife and I signed up for private pistol training and learned far more than we expected in our first session.

Rob has an impressive understanding of firearms and defensive shooting, and that became clear when we dug into the details on some of the things we discussed during our training. He also has a unique ability to meet you where you are and push you to the next level.

We're looking forward to another session soon.

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

This was the highlight of our vacation for my boys. They love the combat video games and thought they would rule in this… they said it was incredibly challenging and they learned so much! They loved it! Mike was fantastic and spent a good deal of time after discussing the missions and training that would improve their tactical strategies! They loved getting the chance to use flash bangs and breaching the door.

Missy is the absolute best! I came in after my supervisor recommended me to get cargo pants from 5.11. I was greeted immediately walking in by Missy; I was overwhelmed with the amount of options there were and she walked me through each one and the pros and cons of them all. All of the duty pants were amazing quality. She was a great help and so sweet!

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!

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!!

Wow! I was fairly apprehensive when my 13 year-old expressed an interest in learning to handle a real weapon as opposed to a video game. In my effort to find a good introduction, the excellent reviews led me here and they couldn't have been more correct. Mike and his team are incredibly organized, positive, methodical, and encouraging while maintaining a safe environment and being completely down to earth.

We learned to clear a room in the Shoothouse - and while the 13 and 16 year-old were faster (and scored better) - my spouse and I didn't do half bad! The whole experience was both accessible and fascinating - so much so that we may choose Phoenix as a vacation destination again so that we can come back and learn more.

Great CPR/First Aid class. Bobby was a cool instructor with a sense of humor. Made sure we got all the necessary information. Would recommend it to others.

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!

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.

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

Took my dad for his birthday and we had a blast, it was very informational and we learned alot. We would highly recommend if you are looking for a safe, informational, and well instructed shoothouse session. Thank you again, we plan to be back again!

I took the women's class last weekend and it was so much more than I expected. Rob took the time to go over scenarios and advise how to handle each different situation. I am signing up for one on one training with Rob so that I can feel confident in carrying my weapon. I would give 10 stars if possible!
