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!
Ellen
Teacher"As a novice, this class made me feel comfortable and, most importantly, safe. The class was fast-paced, fun, I learned a lot, and feel so much more comfortable with my rifle."
Joe
Police Officer"Great course. Was better than Larry Vickers course by far… More than exceeded my expectations."
Brennan
Developer"Great instruction. I learned more PRACTICAL technique then in 4 years of federal law enforcement instruction. All business, no wasted time."
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!

Way better than even expected. Trainer was organized, professional, patient and helpful. It provided more than just entertainment. My brother and I left light years ahead of where we started in our understanding of how to engage in CQC situations.

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! Highly recommend this company!

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.

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.

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 wife and I were looking for something thrilling and unique to add to our excursions while in Phoenix celebrating our 10-year wedding anniversary. Mike and his team at ATA left absolutely nothing to be desired. Of all the things we got into while on our trip, our time with Mike will be what we're still talking about when our 50th rolls around. Mike's professionalism, expertise, guidance and (most importantly) patience with us demonstrates his passion for creating an exciting, memorable and one-of-a-kind experience that's going to be tough to top.
Kudos on the incredible program you've built, Mike. Thanks for everything and keep up the great work!

Ordered a complete setup from AR500 Valkyrie Berry Compliant Carrier with lightweight plates, tear away IFAK, TQ pouch and a Kangaroo Magazine pouch. Love the quality of all of it. It did take every bit of their lead time estimate plus a couple of weeks, but right now I'm not sure anything isn't backordered on materials. Communicated with their CS several times, Alyse Galor would respond to me rapidly and professionally can't ask more than that. The industry could use more people like this.
Bottom line, great company and people, great gear that's worth the wait.

My dearest compatriots, I must profess — Armored Republic has absolutely slain it. Their craftsmanship is nothing short of immaculate; each stitch and plate feels as though it were blessed by the industrial revolution itself. The fit? Positively divine. The materials? Exquisite. One might say they’ve achieved based levels of manufacturing.
I was, at first, a bit of a lost soul — adrift in a sea of plate carriers, uncertain which vest of valor would best suit my gentlemanly escapades. Enter Carson: a scholar and a knight among salesmen. The man knows his gear with an encyclopedic precision that would make Darwin shut his notebook. He guided me through every question with saintly patience and an energy most unholy.
In an age rife with mediocrity and customer service staffed by hollow automatons, Armored Republic shines as a bastion of quality and honor. Should I perish, bury me in their plate carrier.

I purchased a plate carriers/armor from AR500 earlier this year. I was so pleased that I bought another set along with my brother. I had an issue with some of the molle straps not locking so I called customer service. Kevin replace the starps and gave me a gift certificate towrards another purchase, which I will use for a 3rd set. Excellent products and excellent customer service!!

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.

Order the testudo bogo, shipping was on time. Can’t give any reviews on the product and I don’t think i will ever get shot or shoot at my carrier to test it out but beside that, very happy Doing business with ar500armor, there was some missing items on the order. Didn’t take more than 1 email from me for Alyse to send me a tracking for those missing items. Superb customer service. Great products!

I love this company's products and what they stand for. Their products are definitely quality, I've been putting them through hard use for years and they hold up great. It's great they make the body armor here in America, love to support local labor on home soil.
A few people have voiced complaints about delays in their product, but I've seen them be up front, honest and friendly about why there is a delay and what they're doing to fix it. Some supply chain issues don't sound like their fault. Customer service has also emailed back quickly, and when there was a delay of a few days was apologetic about that.
Lots of my friends and family love and use their products too. It's an easy company to tell your friends about, as their integrity shows through in their products and communication. They also have some of the coolest and funniest content on their social media!

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 have called these guys and purchased items from them multiple times. If there are ever long hold times, it's only due to the fact that they spend the time with each customer bending over backwards to assist them with questions or products. Super impressed. I've probably recommended them to 300+ people - no joke.

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.

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.

As someone who has never shot a gun before, this experience was broken down into very understandable and simple steps that had me and my friends having a blast clearing rooms during just our two hour experience. The top gun run at the end seemed daunting when first handed the rifle at the beginning of the course, but at the end we felt more than prepared to take on the challenge. If I lived closer I’d be coming back often to bring all my friends and family to join the fun!

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.

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.

Ordered a plate carrier and plates on March 20th with my current address which si the same as my billing address on the armored republic website with my email. I got the invoice showing my products and my current billing and shipping address here in mesa. The next day saw that a shipping label was created but was shipping to an address that I lived at 4 years ago from the last time I ordered a rig and plates from them. Submitted a ticket and was promptly replied back to and was told my Eric in email confirmation that my shipping address would be updated prior to the shipping company picking the items up the next day. The next day rolls around and it's still shipping to Tempe. Item was than delivered to Tempe at an address I do not live at any more, that I haven't lived at in a handful of years. I have sent emails back to no reply. So someone else received my package and armored republic received payment for a product I wasn't given.
Update: Armored Republic made good on their word and sent out a new kit and was delivered with no issue in a insanely quick time frame. Very thankful for your customer service and correcting the issue. Will definitely be buying more products in the future. Thank you.

The next day rolls around and it's still shipping to Tempe. Item was than delivered to Tempe at an address I do not live at any more, that I haven't lived at in a handful of years. I have sent emails back to no reply. So someone else received my package and armored republic received payment for a product I wasn't given.
Update: Armored Republic made good on their word and sent out a new kit and was delivered with no issue in a insanely quick time frame. Very thankful for your customer service and correcting the issue. Will definitely be buying more products in the future. Thank you.

Great store with great staff, raúl and Joe were super helpful and they new the products they were selling. This store is super clean and they seem to have the whole stock line u der one roof, if you'relookingfor a tactical vest or a nice golf shirt they got you. The boots i boight are super comfortable. 5.11 is a great brand that is awesome both stylistly and for function. The pants have held up to mountains of abuse and keep on doing their job.

I took my nephew for his 18th birthday to the Shoot House. Great experience, staff were amazing and the whole time was run efficiently and expertly. Worth every penny from start to finish. We got more hands on experience in the shoot house than I thought we would, with plenty of reps to improve each round. Not often that an experience is better than expected!

Five-Star Experience with Arizona Tactical Adventures!
I recently had the pleasure of participating in a family outing at Arizona Tactical Adventures, and I must say, it was an absolute blast! From start to finish, Arizona Tactical Adventures displayed an unwavering commitment to gun safety, top-notch training, and an exceptional educational experience. I cannot recommend them enough!
Gun safety was paramount throughout our entire visit. Mike was incredibly knowledgeable and followed strict safety protocols, ensuring that everyone, regardless of age or experience, felt secure and comfortable. As a parent, this was a crucial aspect for me, and I was thoroughly impressed with their attention to detail.
What truly made this experience exceptional was the fact that it catered to a wide range of ages. We had family members ranging from 8 to 45 years old, and everyone was thoroughly engaged and enjoyed themselves immensely. Mike was incredibly patient and adept at tailoring the activities to suit each individual's age and skill level. It was a rare opportunity for the whole family to bond over an exhilarating 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!

Ordered two carriers. One I want to swap colors on due to a mistake I made in the order (wanted black mulicam but ordered multicam) and one I want to return because it doesn’t fit the 10x8 plates as advertised.
This is the email response (screenshot below). Claim they never advertised the 10x8 would fit one carriers, it only fits ‘their 10x8, when it says it right in the website description (photo below) it is ‘designed for 10x8’.
While the initial response from customer service wasn’t helpful, Carson Barney responded to my email and issued a refund for the item that didn’t fit the plate and sent me a second carrier in the color I wanted. Over and above what I was asking for.
Can’t always expect things to be right on the first shot, but much respect for vendors who own a mistake and go over and above to fix it.

Great stop for outdoor wear! Solid men's and women's apparel! Courteous and helpful staff as well! I'll be shopping here more often! Have gone in a second time and got a deal (BOG50 off) AND a 2-shirt long sleeve package for work. Exactly what I was looking for! Much appreciated that staff for looking for items 'in the back' to see if they had something that might be what I was needing for work!

I’m a first time customer, when I first arrived I was expecting the showroom to be bigger, but with the high quality knowledge the AR team members offer it does not need to be! I was very impressed with the level of service, the friendliness, and overall quality of the material. I urge you to come on down and see for yourself. Thank you!!
