About Us

Who We Are

Weaponcraft was started in 1993 when Peter Joyce saw the need for Maine civilians and Law Enforcement personnel to learn the firearms skills they needed to survive and prevail in life threatening situations. Weaponcraft was purchased in early 2007 by Preparedness Experts, LLC, a Maine company that promotes disaster preparedness and provides contingencies to Maine schools, families and businesses.

Weaponcraft is staffed with current SRT/ SWAT operators and instructors, former operators and competent civilian instructors. The techniques and tactics we teach are not watered-down for our civilian courses. Rather, they are the most up-to-date available and are presently taught to law enforcement and military units worldwide. Our instructors train not only civilians, but also military, private overseas contractors and law enforcement agencies. Our instructors are professional operators that train constantly with state, regional, national and international agencies and organizations to bring cutting-edge techniques to our law enforcement and private citizen clients. Our philosophy is simple: offer world class training and instruction at a reasonable cost.
