Laurie Kimmel......

"I met up with Jeff Evans of NW Tactical Training for my 2nd gun safety and target/shooting lesson. Having graduated (self-proclaimed) from a .22 caliber pistol, Jeff agreed to train me on a Smith & Wesson M&P 40. It is a lot different than the .22!
First let me say that Jeff is extremely easy to learn from, after going over the basics of loading the gun, proper handling and grip, and a forewarning that this gun had a little more "kick" to it than the .22, Jeff assessed my first magazine of shots (which weren't altogether bad but low on the target). He was able to pinpoint the areas I needed to correct and I improved in consistency and accuracy. I would encourage anyone wanting to learn or hone their gun skills to contact Jeff at NW Tactical Training. Not only is he knowledgable on a wide range of guns and ammo; he's patient and encouraging, offering tips and techniques to improve anyone's skills."

"I met with Jeff Evans and in about an hour he coached me from a bullet pattern that was about 15 inches in diameter to about 4 inches. I am very impressed with Jeff's knowledge and professionalism. I will be taking more training in the future. Thanks again Jeff."


Michael K. Anderson, Private Investigator......

"I had the opportunity to use Jeff Evans as my State Firearms Instructor for recertification for my Private Investigator’s License. I had also used Jeff for a refresher course in the mechanics of good, accurate shooting.  I found Jeff to be very professional, patient and extremely knowledgeable in firearms instruction.  I have attended other firearms instruction classes but there is no comparison to the high quality training Jeff provides. I highly recommend Jeff Evans with Northwest Tactical Training for all of your firearms instruction and State Recertification."

Donald Pilker, Director of Security, Virginia Mason Medical Center......

"In today's complex security environment, ensuring a security team is properly trained in safe firearm handling is without question a priority. Jeff Evans has built a program that has demonstrated how such critical training can be provided in a simple, yet effective understanding way."


Lance Jevne, Security Professional......

"For the past four years, my team and I have worked with Jeff Evans, taking his 4-hour re-certification training course needed to retain our armed licenses in Washington State.  I also have sent new team members to take his 8-hour certification training course which is needed to be an armed private security guard in Washington State.  I have hired Jeff to work with me on a personal basis, helping me improve my advanced shooting skills.  Jeff believes in accuracy while training, has strong communication skills and consistently pushes his students to make them better shooters.  Jeff is always professional when teaching classes and takes extra time with new students. I would recommend Jeff's training and classes to other people and will continue to work with Jeff and take instruction from him."


Kurt Ikemeier, Former Police Chief, City of Roy......

"I met Jeff Evans recently and learned that he was a state certified range master and instructor.  Jeff Evans offered his support in leading me through my qualification shoot and getting me familiar with my weapon.  I was impressed with Jeff Evan's knowledge and understanding of weapons, shooting style, and constructive suggestions."


Jonathon Jones, Resource Officer, Security Services......

"Mr. Evans was both informative and entertaining. I appreciated his temperament while delivering the hands on instruction as we fumbled through the firearms. I felt as if it were the proper learning environment and expectation for anyone from our field to come and learn safe firearm handling."
