Sierra Firearms Academy

Sierra Firearms Academy started in 1994 when Mike Robbins and Dave Keller—both primary firearms instructors for Nevada's largest law enforcement agencies—decided to bring their expertise to civilians. Between them, they trained over 800 sworn police officers across basic, advanced, and tactical disciplines before going full-time with the academy. They're not the cheapest option in Northern Nevada, but you're paying for people who have actually done the work.
