Bruce Cartwright - SAC Tactical

Bruce Cartwright was born and raised in western Pennsylvania and began his shooing career with a Harrington and Richardson top break 22 Long Rifle revolver at the tender age of five.  Bruce grew up hunting, fishing, shooting and camping in rural Pennsylvania.  Bruce got himself educated and became an attorney with a general trial practice for nearly a decade.

​

After realizing the error of his ways, Bruce joined the FBI and spent the next 20 plus years chasing bad guys, shooting government supplied ammunition and generally fighting the forces of darkness.  His life- long love of shooting followed Bruce into the Bureau.  Bruce became an FBI Firearms Instructor and eventually taught at the Firearms Training Unit at the FBI Academy.  Bruce has been to numerous schools and holds many certifications.

​

In the later part of Bruce’s FBI career, he and his family moved to northern Idaho.  Now a confirmed westerner, he is retired from the FBI and is following his passion for teaching firearms and tactics to responsible citizens.  He finds time to be with his family, chase the elusive white tail, garden, study Aikido, poke fun at himself and generally make a pest of himself.
