We're Not Just Training!
Shadow FTA does not believe in a one size-fits-all approach to teaching and training, we customize our lessons to each students ability to understand firearm safety, situational awareness, and marksmenship.
Guard Licensing
What You Need
All security guards are required to complete an 8 Hour Pre-Assignment Training Course prior to applying to the Department of State for a Security Guard Registration Card. That course must be followed by a 16-Hour On-the-Job Training Course for Security Guards within 90 days of initial employment as a security guard. Guards also must complete an 8-Hour Annual In-service Training Course for Security Guards every year.

Stress Vest
Reality Based Training
Just Got Real!
StressVest™ is the world’s first non-projectile force on force firearm tactical training system capable of delivering a pain penalty. The StressVest™ offers marksmanship point of aim accuracy with Blank Based System, additional Sensor Panels, Advanced IED integration, wireless externally worn StressX™ PRO belt and an Instructor CQT Tablet making it the most advanced force on force system in the world today.
Airsoft
As real as it gets!
When it comes to realism, gas blowback is as real as it gets in the airsoft gun world. Airsoft gas blowback pistols are powered by compressed gas which gives them an instantaneous trigger response. The blowback action causes the slide to shoot back with each shot and that adds recoil, just like a real pistol

"At Your Place or Ours"
Run - Hide - Fight
Today more than ever, the need for civilians to be prepared to respond to the potential of an active shooter situation could not be more important. Civilians are the eyes and ears on the ground and the first line of defense in preparing, responding to and mitigating this horrific ordeal. Sadly, most civilians are not properly trained on how to respond. Here at SFTA, we make it our mission to educate the masses on how to respond in an appropriate manner. Below is a recommendation from the US Department of Homeland Security:
