At Tier 1 Tactical Training, we provide comprehensive firearms training resources based on techniques and methodologies used by Special Forces operators. Our approach focuses on practical, effective training that goes beyond basic marksmanship to include tactical decision-making, situational awareness, and stress management.
Unlike traditional in-person training that can be costly and limited by location, our detailed training plans and resources allow you to develop professional-level skills at your own pace and convenience. Each resource is meticulously designed to provide clear, actionable guidance that you can implement independently.
Our training materials are organized into four core pillars that provide a complete framework for developing tactical proficiency while maintaining the highest standards of safety and responsibility.
Our Special Forces Techniques pillar translates battlefield-tested practices into practical applications for civilian self-defense. This training goes beyond shooting fundamentals to develop the tactical mindset that makes operators effective in high-stress situations.
Key focus areas include:
These techniques are adapted specifically for civilian contexts while preserving the core principles that make them effective in operational settings.
The Professional Equipment Assessment pillar draws on real operational experience to provide objective guidance on selecting, maintaining, and optimizing firearms and related equipment for defensive use.
Key focus areas include:
Our equipment assessments focus on practical functionality rather than collecting for the sake of it, helping you make informed decisions about necessary investments.
Our Tactical Training Methodologies pillar provides structured approaches to skill development that maximize improvement with limited time and resources. These systems are adapted from Special Forces training protocols to work effectively for civilian practitioners.
Key focus areas include:
These methodologies emphasize quality over quantity in training, allowing you to achieve professional-level competence even with limited practice time.
The Responsible Ownership & Safety pillar forms the ethical and practical foundation of everything we teach. This pillar emphasizes that tactical proficiency must always be coupled with the highest standards of safety and legal responsibility.
Key focus areas include:
This pillar emphasizes that true tactical competence includes the judgment to know when force is justified and the responsibility to prevent unauthorized access to firearms.
