Spartan Firearm Training

Spartan Firearm Training was founded by Andy Escalante, a nationally certified NRA instructor with 50 years in firearms—6 years Army Military Police, 12 years in law enforcement, and over 40 years teaching private lessons before starting this school. His co-instructor Bob Venters is a retired Army First Sergeant with 40 years of military and law enforcement experience. That's not resume padding. That's who's running your class.

"Safety is the number one priority when it comes to firearms. Spartan specializes in teaching the people of the Pacific Northwest how to properly handle a firearm."
