Incredible training courses. David takes the time to train you how to self diagnose your techniques and improve continually beyond the class. Perfect balance of pushing everyone in the class to a higher standard without being over the top. Highly recommend.

Did a weekend of performance baseline courses with AHT and it was a great experience. The skills and techniques taught make more sense than many others out there and they are presented in a way that not only makes them approachable, but equips you to continue to develop them on your own and into the future. I will definitely register for more AHT classes, in the future!

Our lead instructor was Paul Costa. His ability to demonstrate and explain the skills required for speed and accuracy are outstanding. I’ve experienced instructors who can tell you the “how”but don’t prove it. Paul is the hybrid that puts it all together. The day of training is fast paced and well organized. Every skill adds to your confidence and develops speed and accuracy.

Recently attended the Performance Baseline Carbine Course from AHT. Course content was great and instructor was engaging with students. The course offers a lot for the student to take away and make themselves a better shooter.

AHT is top notch.! Incredible two days spent on pistol instruction. Would highly recommend anyone that wants to improve their pistols or rifles skills sign up for AHT course you won’t regret it! Rick and Brian were awesome!

I recently trained with AHT and the training and instructors was nothing but premium. From the scheduling of courses of fire to the extra instruction required for some shooters (myself included) time was made and plenty of instructors were on site so that all questions were answered. I feel genuine improvement and I will 100% be returning. Thank you Rick and your whole team, everyone was very professional and welcoming!

I recently took 3 course offerings from Achilles Heel Tactical, and can say without hesitation that this is some of the best firearms training I have received in 19 years of taking open enrollment firearms courses. In regards to safety, logistics, clear and concise instruction, attention to detail, instructor demeanor and approachability, constructive use of training time, ACH is top notch and I will be taking more courses from them. Money and time very well spent.

This is an exciting and fast paced course. Rick and Brian are attentive and encouraging. "Aggressive eyes". I didn't know what I didn't know. I left with higher level fundamentals and tools to practice on my own. Thanks Achilles Heel Tactical. Can't wait for the next time I can train with you.

Pistol Mastery with Paul Costa. Great class. Would say anyone with intermediate to advanced skills will benefit from this instruction. Class size was about 20 with four instructors so there was a lot of one on one. Would recommend to anyone who carries a firearm as a civilian, or in LE, who’s life may depend on it, along with competitive shooters looking to move up to the next level.

Paul Costa’s Pistol Mastery class is exceptional. I have taken a lot of other classes from different organizations and this is hands down the most in depth class I’ve attended. Paul presents the content in a sequential and easy to understand format. His approach to training is intellectual, logical, and structured. I cannot recommend Paul’s classes enough.

I have taken multiple courses with Achilles Heel Tactical. All of them have been professionally conducted and highly informative. The classes present tons of useful information and techniques that you can then take to work out on your own. I highly recommend this company to anyone who wants brilliant instruction to progress as a responsible and effective shooter.

Paul, Rodney, and Desh ran the baseline pistol and carbine classes far beyond my expectations. I have a whole new outlook and understanding of shooting handgun. I expect to attend every other training AHT offers and would recommend to anyone in law enforcement.

Great atmosphere to learn. Rick is an outstanding instructor and always pushing to shoot faster and more accurate. Two day vehicle course was outstanding experience. Highly recommended.

Great instructor, great course content and drills. I’d argue AHT’s philosophy in techniques and practical application of fundamentals is superior to the vast majority of other training providers I’ve been to. Did a lot of shooting and working instead of just a lot of talking.

Rick and Paul exemplify exceptional instruction, consistently pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Their training sessions are top-notch, setting a high standard through their own exemplary leadership. I highly recommend participating in one of their courses; you're guaranteed to experience a significant improvement in your shooting skills.

First year at ORD and the AHT boys did not disappoint! Extremely knowledgeable training groups. Learned a ton and never felt like the new guys. Lots of moving parts to that weekend and they were extremely personable and organized. Highly recommend going to ORD and taking any of the training AHT has to offer. Well done! We'll be back for sure.

The baseline performance pistol class was my second with Paul, he is a great instructor and the way him and Desh provide feedback is really valuable. The speed and intensity of the classes are also incredibly valuable.

I recently took two "Baseline" classes taught by Rick Crawley. The instruction was fantastic with real world use and purpose. The baseline classes can and should be taken any even the most experienced of shooter to help fine tune the basics of stance, grip, and movement. The range, Arrow Concepts, is very nice with plenty of room. I highly recommend AHT and Rick and hope to take other classes in the future.

The staff at AHT are knowledgeable. Staff is professional and good people overall. Would recommend to anyone who’s looking to step up their training.

Took Baseline pistol with Rick in Porterville, California. Rick runs a safe efficient range. His depth of knowledge and ability to actually teach is to be commended. I was sponsored through Project Blue Lion but will gladly pay to train with Achilles Heel Tactical next time they are in California. I walked away knowing my personal baseline and how to effectively measure it and improve upon it. Just ordered the AHT Targets so I can continue to step over the baseline and draw a new one.

Awesome class! Rick is very knowledgeable and his drills made me realize where my deficiencies are in body mechanics and weapons manipulation. I highly recommend this course. Best training course I've taken so far. My advice before class. DRY FIRE ALOT!

Rick and his team provide an excellent training regime for students to challenge themselves, and receive instruction in a safe and professional environment. The training I received from Achille's Heel has been bar none, some of the most valuable time I have spent in a class setting.

Took the Baseline Carbine course taught by Rick in Marianna Pa. Very professional and a lot of quality information presented. Rick is extremely skilled and passionate about his skill craft. I walked away better than start and with plenty of practicing techniques to better myself. A must to attend for the serious firearm owner.

I have been to numerous instructor courses and this by far was the most immersive. From Rick setting the stage giving demonstrations and examples not only of the practices and principles but also the why behind everything, to in-depth peer and instructor feed back. Being able to wash, rinse, and repeat with valuable feed back over a 3day period was irreplaceable. If there were I 5day, 8day, or 10day I’d be dirt to sign up.

As someone who would consider myself a pretty ok rifle shooter the performance baseline carbine class was amazing. Has me completely rethinking and relearning how to shoot a rifle. The knowledge between Rick and Paul is incredible. Two extremely good instructors who articulate the information fantastically. I will absolutely be taking many more AHT classes in the future.

Rick and his team are pure professionals and one of the top notch trainers in the world. I've trained alot with them and will continue to in the future. If you are struggling with shooting or just want to level up your skills I highly suggest you get into some classes asap!

Recent course with Paul was very good. Clear concise explanation of drills and concepts and time for repetitions for the students was notable. It is also a red flag when an instructor can't/doesn't demo. This was not the case in this class. Many great takeaways and homework.

Tough training and I learned a lot. I did three days of performance pistol, carbine, and pistol/carbine dynamics. These courses seemed more appropriate for law enforcement than civilians but the reps, drills, and consistent reinforcement of fundamentals was really great. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to push themselves to the next level.
