Get training. Test your gear. Find out what works and what doesn't work. Build your team communication. . I completed Carbine 2 with Rob Orgel and team at @ertactical last month, and it was extremely eye-opening. . How proficient are you under stress? How's your cardio? How quickly can you diagnose and clear type 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 malfunctions? How does your gun run in the heat and caked with sand, dirt, and mud? What's the likelihood that you're going to make that shot from 80 yards under stress, from around a barrier? Do you know how to analyze your environment for potential cover and concealment? Potential egress points? . I learned that I absolutely love the @eotech EXPS2-0 sight for combat engagement. I learned that I need to up my cardio.. Like, a lot. I learned that the @danieldefense MK18 runs like a champ, but the Daniel Defense magazines are hot garbage. I learned that having a really nice muzzle brake is great standing up, but it's pretty terrible for shooting prone, in the dirt. . Seriously though. You can have all the coolest toys, ammo, and Gucci gear, but if you don't know how to use it then you're just LARP'ing around. . Vet your instructors. There are a ton of cracker jack "NRA Certified" guys out there teaching cookie cutter, garbage classes that don't apply to real-world encounters. Hit up @ertactical and get some real training under your belt. You'll be glad you did. read more

ER Tactical is an exceptional training organization! Learning from Rob has made me a significantly better shooter, enhancing my understanding of real-world situations and how to navigate them. Rob has a vast amount of knowledge and experience, but more importantly, he's an excellent instructor. He doesn't just run trainees through drills; he communicates the why and how of everything he teaches in an easy-to-understand and implementable way. He encourages questions at every stage and has had the answer to every question I've asked. I've had to leave so many of my preconceived notions behind and forget many of the things I've learned in the past because what Rob teaches just flat-out works and is better than what I thought was good (it wasn't). I appreciate that safety is always a priority because it makes learning much more straightforward and enjoyable. I'm looking forward to more courses and ongoing improvements. read more

Took Pistol I and II with Rob about a year ago and was genuinely impressed with the knowledge and teaching/logic techniques Rob used to not only make me a much better shooter, but understand defensive tactics and the logic behind it. Taking Carbine I and II over the weekend was no different. The classes made me a much better shooter with a deep understanding on several different topics in a manner that agrees with logic. I am more comfortable with my AR than I've ever been. All my questions were answered in depth and I will definitely be taking more classes with Rob in the future. read more

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! read more

The Carbine course with Rob seriously raised my Carbine skills. Rob's unique approach combines his military experience with critical analysis, yielding a much smarter approach to learning the elements of firearms training. I learned more than 10 significant improvements in 2 days, any one of which would have provided payback for the time, effort and money spent. I will continue to take courses with Rob, and continue to raise my firearms skill. read more
