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."
Great instructors! Had an amazing time! One suggestion would be to have a print out or put all the scores on the screen at the end of the experience.

Ive had an AR plate carrier since the early 2010s. Didnt know much about it other than it was AR500. I recently met a young man, Carson, who works for the company that spent his evening looking through every product Armored Republic has ever sold until he found mine. He then talked to me about the newer models, and what would the most comparable upgrade to my tried and true current carrier. fantastic customer service

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!

I was helped by Riley who told me she normally works and the Chandler store she was amazing, very knowledgeable. Ended up buying more than I went for. Thanks for the help.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

Great products for a great price. Very impressed with the quality of all the materials and the comfort of the equipment. On top of an armor setup the Phoenix backpack is unbelievably lightweight and comfortable. I would never guess it was bulletproof with how light it is. It too seems extremely durable. The photos show a 5'4" female and a 6'3" male wearing the Invictus carrier with A2 plates installed.

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!

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!

I ordered my Veritas plate carrier during the lockdowns in 2020 when the getting was good. Just ordered my mag pouches and the configuration fit just the way I hoped. I took a chance with this company and I've had the privilege of communicating with their staff a couple times. Very high quality product, comfortable, plates are upgraded from what I used in the service, and their customer service is phenomenal. Special thank you to Michael Moon for all your help and suggestions. I've never been this happy over a product. Cheers.🖤

Bobby came to the office and trained a few of our staff on CPR, pro health care, and BLS/AES. He was excellent and very thorough. We had time to ask questions.

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.

AR 500 is an excellent choice for affordable body armor. I’ve been extremely impressed by the rugged manufacturing that holds up to the craziest of situations you can throw at it. I’ve spent nearly 3x as much with competitive companies and I’ve not been nearly as impressed as I have been with this set. The fitment is perfect for my body type. I’m roughly six foot and in fairly decent shape for an old retired grunt.
As importantly, if not more importantly, with as crazy as the world has gotten over the last year, their customer service is awesome. They work with you and keep you up to date on what is happening with your purchase as they build it for you. Alyse G. has been incredibly professional, positive and given me more than I could ask for! You can’t go wrong with the Invictus or their customer service. Thank you for a great product and good old fashioned American made customer service!

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.

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!

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!

We had an absolutely amazing day with Mike at Arizona Tactical Adventures! As a family, we were looking for a unique and exciting experience, and Mike delivered beyond our expectations. He taught us the fundamentals of room clearing in a way that was both safe and incredibly fun.
Mike is an outstanding instructor—he took the time to explain the "hows" and "whys" behind every technique, ensuring we understood the purpose and importance of each step. His patience and clear communication made the learning process enjoyable for everyone, regardless of our prior experience. Safety was always his top priority, and we felt completely comfortable throughout the entire session.
What really stood out was Mike’s ability to make the day engaging and memorable. He kept the atmosphere light and fun while still maintaining a professional and educational environment. By the end of the day, we not only learned valuable skills but also created lasting memories as a family.
If you’re looking for a unique, safe, and fun experience in Arizona, we highly recommend Mike and Arizona Tactical Adventures. Thank you, Mike, for an incredible day—we can’t wait to come back for more adventures!

His patience and clear communication made the learning process enjoyable for everyone, regardless of our prior experience. Safety was always his top priority, and we felt completely comfortable throughout the entire session.
What really stood out was Mike’s ability to make the day engaging and memorable. He kept the atmosphere light and fun while still maintaining a professional and educational environment. By the end of the day, we not only learned valuable skills but also created lasting memories as a family.
If you’re looking for a unique, safe, and fun experience in Arizona, we highly recommend Mike and Arizona Tactical Adventures. Thank you, Mike, for an incredible day—we can’t wait to come back for more adventures!

Staff was friendly and helpful. I was able to find and purchase exactly what I wanted. There was no delay for checking out.

Great experience with AR500! The customer service was great! I ordered several items, and one was taking longer than usual to update. Kevin got back to me right away and was professional and extremely patient with me changing my mind about the color of one of the items. I literally sent 3 emails within 5 minutes going back and forth. Once I finally decided, Kevin easily changed my order and pushed it through.
The build quality of the gear is great and looks really good (very important)! I’ve run several carrier designs, and the Testudo 2 is very comfortable in comparison to the others. 10/10 recommend

My brother and I had the best time at Arizona Tactical Adventures! Even the talk that is given to everyone was given with enthusiasm and humor. They really accomplish their mission very well. We learned stuff from trained professionals while having a great time and knowing our safety was taken very seriously. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we went back for more even it if was over an hour away and we had limited time. I highly recommend, they'll make it worth your visit plus you'll have great pictures. One of a kind experience.

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

If you're looking for something truly unique to do in Phoenix, Arizona Tactical Adventures is where it's at! I had an incredible time and can't recommend this place highly enough. From the moment we arrived, the staff was welcoming, professional, and super knowledgeable. Safety was a clear priority but so was fun!
It felt like stepping into a real-life action movie. The gear is legit, the scenarios are realistic, and the instructor (who has military and law enforcement experience) know how to keep you engaged and in the zone.
What really stood out was how immersive and hands-on everything was. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced with tactical training, they tailor the experience to your comfort and skill level. I learned a ton while having an absolute blast.
Thanks to the Arizona Tactical Adventures crew — you made this an unforgettable day. We’ll definitely be back!

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.

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.

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.
