- Services
- E.A.S.T Group was established in 2012 by a group of professionals with a specific mission in mind: to assist individuals and organizations with the resources needed to map out a realistic training program and provide solutions to operate in today’s ever-changing environment. Our cadre of instructors share their knowledge and experience gained from years of working within the security realm both here and abroad. This allows our students to immerse themselves in real-world up-to-date exercises.
We offer classes regularly in the following areas:- Practical Pistol
- Pistol Optics
- Carbine Tactics
- Vehicle Defense
- Fighting in Structures
- Shotgun
- Off-body Carry
- Low light/Flashlight tactics
- Church safety teams
- Trauma aid
- Knife Defense
- We are approved by The State of Ohio to instruct ASSET Armed School Staff Curriculum
Our training methodology is unique due to our personal experiences which is why our company mantra “Bullets are Inbound” is the basis for all our training. This mindset allows for a vast mixture of “Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures” to tailor a training solution that meets the needs of our clientele.
E.A.S.T. stands for ENVIRONMENT ASSESSMENT and SOLUTIONS TRAINING.
E.A.S.T. Group’s training facility is located just outside of Fredericktown, a rural farming community in Central Ohio. After traveling to other venues to teach and not being able to follow our lesson plan because of range restrictions we decided to build our facility. Over ninety percent of our training is now conducted on-site enabling students to fully benefit from each course we offer.
Restrooms
Due to our location, there is no running water, and our restroom
facilities consist of portajohns.

Refund Policy
No refunds within 10 days of the event. You may forward your class fees to another course.
Other Policy
Since John Moses Browning designed the designed the iconic 1911 pistol it has long been a part of military history and firearms enthusiasts for countless years. Fast forward to the 2011 modernized variants and the popularity of these models, sales are through the roof and we’re seeing them everywhere.
If your preferred carry firearm is a 1911/2011 pistol and you are attending a class, please make sure to have a striker fired pistol and all required gear as a secondary option. If during our safety & skills assessment we find issues with you, your firearms handling, or the gear you are running, you will be required to utilize your striker fired pistol instead.
Our stance is in response to safety considerations for E.A.S.T. Group team members, RSO, and all others at the training facility or class. This policy applies to all classes taught at our facility or by E.A.S.T. Group team members at other facilities. This is not in response to the weapons platform, but rather the user skills and abilities for the tasks at hand. While this platform is no doubt amazing, not everyones skill level matches what is required for some courses.
