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!

Missy and Jackie were absolutely a gem to work with. As a woman, fitting tactical gear poses a good challenge. Missy ended up finding me the perfect tactical pants & a great shirt to match them with. The pants are both well fitting while not sacrificing mobility and comfort. Outstanding service! Will be back soon for your Labor day sale!

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!

This company is the absolute best company to work with! I have been arranging classes for 10 years and I am so grateful that I found and switched to them!!! Our instructor was Mr. Wes Foster and he did a spectacular job!

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.

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!

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!!!!

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.

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!

We even discussed home defense etc. Very good teacher. He knows how to transfer Knowles to his students.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
