Frank Martello explaining the advantage of red dot sights


Buying a firearm and firing it occasionally in the backyard or at a local range does not equate to being able to effectively employ that weapon (in accordance with the law) in a dynamic threat situation where the consequence of failure is catastrophic.  Effective firearms handling is no different than any other hand-eye coordination skill.  It requires mastery of fundamental principles/skills, practice and knowledge of the legal parameters within which the use of lethal force is justified.

Stafford Tactical has been an incorporated business for over 10 years.  Our business model is focused on providing our students with the most effective and relevant firearms training available.  Each of our trainers is a certified Department of Criminal Justices (DCJS) and/or NRA Law Enforcement firearms instructor selected for their practical experience and professional training skills.  All of our programs are delivered in a safe and controlled environment that fosters learning, self-confidence and personal skill development.  We have national class courses tailored to all skill levels so regardless of your current skill set you will a better and more knowledgeable shooter.

 While we have an established curriculum for each of our courses of instruction every class is tailored to the skill levels and personal goals and experience of each client.  We know that, for most people, attending recurring firearms training classes is not something they can afford to do on a recurring basis (time/cost).  That is why all of our courses are designed to give each student a skill set that they can use to safely reinforce and build upon in their subsequent personal training/practice sessions.
