Situated in Goodyear, Arizona, Trident Tactical Academy delivers a rare opportunity for firearms enthusiasts and professionals aiming to master Close Quarters Battle (CQB) techniques with shotguns. The SHOTGUN CQB - DELTA course is a focused, hands-on training designed for anyone from first-time shooters to advanced tactical operators. The program condenses over three decades of subject matter expertise in real-world, high-stress shooting scenarios into a three-hour experience that sharpens not only technical marksmanship but also crucial decision-making skills under pressure.
The Arizona desert landscape—characterized by its sprawling arid plains and rugged rocky outcrops—sets a fitting backdrop for tactical drills and live fire exercises. While the natural setting isn’t the main draw, the region’s clear skies and moderate elevation provide consistent conditions that enhance training reliability year-round.
Trident Tactical Academy stands apart in the tactical training world by combining military, scientific, and street-tested strategies to emphasize engagements within seven to fifteen feet, replicating typical civilian and law enforcement encounters. The DELTA course is subdivided into three escalating stages that cover safety protocols, shotgun CQB shooting fundamentals, and advanced skills such as weapon retention, vehicle shooting, striking techniques, and room clearing. The course also stresses adherence to civilian and law enforcement rules of engagement, ensuring students emerge prepared for practical scenarios.
This tactical academy is unique in the Southwest for its depth of instruction and flexible course offerings, including night training on request. Whether preparing for professional qualifications or personal defense, students find a structured environment that marries tactical intensity with strict safety oversight. Goodyear’s proximity to Phoenix makes it readily accessible for residents and visitors seeking immersive, skill-building encounters beyond typical range shooting.
