About Samuel Middlebrook
Our “Chief Gunvangelist” grew up in a small town called Tomball, Texas. Yakima, WA is now his home. He is the husband to an amazing wife, and father to four incredible children. He is certified as a firearm instructor through the NRA, Sig Sauer Academy, Rangemaster, Agile Consulting, Massad Ayoob Group, and Force Science Institute, but more meaningful than any of those certificates are the thousands of students at every level who have improved profoundly in his courses - and keep coming back for more.
Samuel’s mission is to help you become safe and confident with handguns, rifles, and shotguns, and to help you move from the level of skills, knowledge, and confidence you currently have to where you want to be.
If you've never touched a handgun, rifle, or shotgun before, you will discover a safe, positive, and encouraging environment to learn in.
If you've shot a lot, or perhaps even taken a course or two along the way, you will find your skills sharpened, and your desire to become better will only grow.
If you’re an armed professional looking to sharpen your departmental or unit training, Samuel and the Redhawk team do that really, really well.
