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!
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.

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.

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!

Not surprised to see all the Five Star ratings. After over 30 years in the military and college up to the Masters level I can say, with confidence, that Rob is probably the most knowledgeable and competent instructor I've encountered. That means he has mastered his subject and he communicates the facts to students better than most.
I am a Basic Sniper Course student and I will be enrolling in advanced training in the future.
ERT also offers tactical medicine training. As a practioner I'll be utilizing those con-ed classes also. Over-all superior instruction.

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.

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!

My 1:1 Shotgun class with Rob was exactly tailored per my needs. He addressed the many options on employing this type of weapon and the corresponding ammo, which was exactly what I wanted to know from him. Once we started putting the theory to practice everything made sense. This was a no-nonsense class with no egos, which makes Rob a fantastic instructor who I will want to learn from in the future as well.

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.

Didn’t know what to expect as I heard it was pretty intense however the owner (team leader) made the experience very seamless and entertaining. I took my 23 year old daughter for her birthday and she was blown away! We had a blast and felt safe the entire time!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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, 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!

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.

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.

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.
