Rick Crawley

Rick Crawley founded Achilles Heel Tactical in 2017 following his honorable separation from the Marine Corps and a career in law enforcement, bringing over a decade of combined military and LE experience to the firing line.

His teaching is process-focused rather than outcome-focused, building shooters who understand why a technique works, not just how to chase a target. That curriculum is built on fundamental principles and supported by data, aiming to produce faster and more accurate shooters who can perform on demand.

Over more than 15 years of training students all over the world, Rick has refined a curriculum that has measurably enhanced the accountability of thousands of firearm users, from first-time civilians to law enforcement and military units.
