WHO WE ARE
About
REDHAWK
At Redhawk Firearm Training, we believe learning to handle a firearm should be refreshingly different. Our approach is positive, personal, passionate, and professional—because we’re not just teaching a skill, we’re investing in people.
Whether you're brand new to firearms or you carry one professionally, we meet you where you are. Our courses are built for everyday people and seasoned pros alike—with instruction grounded in real-world knowledge, practical application, and a deep respect for personal growth and responsibility.
What Makes Us Different
We don’t bark commands or hand out certificates to boost our egos. We teach with care, clarity, and purpose. We’ll tell you the truth, but never tear you down. If something needs correcting, we show you the path forward. Because at Redhawk, learning isn’t about pointing out failure—it’s about building confidence, one honest moment at a time.
We prioritize relationship over transaction. That means you’ll hear from us before, during, and after your course. We’ll ask about your goals, get to know your story, and stay in touch as you continue to grow. We’re just as likely to have a meaningful conversation after class as we are to drill on the range—and both matter.
We’re deeply passionate about the “why” behind what we teach. Firearms are just tools—what really drives us is helping people take ownership of their safety, develop true confidence, and understand the responsibility that comes with carrying a weapon. For us, this is also a way to live out our ultimate passion: to glorify Christ in all we do.
We take our craft seriously. Our instructors stay on the cutting edge of firearms law, use, human performance, and adult learning. We are always learning so that every Redhawk course reflects the best we have to offer.
Meet Samuel Middlebrook
CHIEF GUNVANGELIST
Samuel grew up in Tomball, Texas, but now calls Yakima, Washington home. He’s a husband, father of four, and nationally certified firearm instructor with credentials from the NRA, Sig Sauer Academy, Rangemaster, Massad Ayoob Group, Force Science Institute, and more.
But Samuel’s real qualifications aren’t on a wall—they’re in the thousands of students who’ve trained with him, grown with him, and keep coming back.
His mission is simple: help you become safe, confident, and capable—no matter where you’re starting.
Whether you’re holding a firearm for the first time, sharpening skills from past courses, or leading an armed team, Samuel and the Redhawk team are here to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
