Tristan "BUCK" Anderson

As a U.S. Army veteran and experienced security professional, I have spent years training individuals from all walks of life in firearm safety, self-defense, and responsible gun ownership. At Take Down Tactical, my goal is to create a welcoming and supportive learning environment where anyone—beginners, families, and experienced shooters alike—can build confidence and skills.

With a lifelong passion for firearms and education, I specialize in: ✔ Handgun safety and self-defense techniques ✔ Long gun/Shotgun handling and usage ✔ Group movement and teamwork exercises ✔ Competitive shooting fundamentals ✔ close and far range marksmanship

Beyond instructing, I’m an avid hunter and outdoorsman, always seeking to refine my own skills and pass that knowledge on to others. During the week, I work as an HVAC technician, but on weekends, I focus on what I love—helping others become safe, responsible, skilled and prepared firearm owners.

Whether you’re new to firearms or looking to sharpen your abilities, my classes are designed to be fun, informative, and accessible to everyone. Families are always welcome, and I look forward to helping you feel more confident and prepared. See you in class!
