The Sentinel Program · Private 1-on-1 Training

You Own the Guns.
Do You Own the Skill?

The most expensive thing in your safe is the false confidence

Add it up. Honestly.

You did what responsible people do. You bought the pistol the guy at the counter recommended. Then the better one. The rifle. The safe to hold them. The optics, the lights, the cases, the ammo you’re saving for a range day that keeps not happening.

THE RECEIPT — YOURS, ROUGHLY

Total spent on hardware$8,900
Measured ability to use it under stressfor most owners: never tested

Edit the numbers. The last line stays the same — that’s the point.

That last line is the problem. Not the spending — the untested part.

Because you’ve been to the public ranges. You know why you stopped going. Forty minutes each way. A waitlist for a lane. A stranger two stalls over who sweeps the muzzle across your chest while reloading, and nobody says anything. So you stand in a lane, put slow holes in paper at seven yards, and drive home having learned nothing about the only scenario that matters: a real threat, in your real house, with your real family behind you.

You’re not undisciplined. You’re a busy person who was never given a serious option. A lane is not training. A safe is not a plan. And deep down, you already know the difference.

The 2AM Test

It’s 2:14 in the morning and something wakes you.

Glass. Downstairs. Not the icemaker — you know every sound this house makes, and that wasn’t one of them.

Your heart rate doubles before your feet hit the floor. Your hands are already clumsy — that’s adrenaline, and it doesn’t care how calm you are in a boardroom. Your wife is awake now, whispering your name. Your kids are down the hall.

Do you know exactly where you’re going — and where you’re not?
Can you get to a firearm, make it ready, and keep your family behind you — in the dark, with shaking hands?
Does your wife know her job? Do the kids know theirs?
Or is the honest answer: we’d all be improvising?

You don’t control whether that night ever comes. You control exactly one variable.

Whether you’ve trained for it.

The Sentinel Program

Not shooting lessons. A protection system — built around you, measured to a standard.

The Sentinel Program is 12 weeks, entirely one-on-one, with instructors who served in Israeli Special Forces — people who trained others for a living because lives depended on the result.

It runs at our own private facility in Georgetown, on our own range. No lanes. No strangers. No one watching you learn. Just you, your instructor, and a curriculum that ends in something almost no firearms training offers: numbers. Your draw-to-first-hit time. Your accuracy under movement. Your performance in low light and under stress. Measured at the start, measured at the end, and trained until you meet the standard — not until the clock runs out.

And because a protector’s job doesn’t end at the range, neither does the program. We audit your home. We write your family’s plan. We train your hands for the fight that happens before a firearm is ever an option. We bring your spouse and family into the plan so that at 2am, everyone knows their job — including you.

The structure is simple. Each week: one private firearms session (2 or 4 hours, depending on the training block) and one private Krav Maga session (1 hour) — with the home audit, family safety session, and LTC woven into the arc.

You don’t leave with a certificate. You leave with a documented, tested capability — and a household that runs on a plan instead of panic.

One-on-one pistol work on our private outdoor range

Seven components, one outcome

What’s inside — and what each piece replaces

Running a red-dot pistol on the private range

1 · Private Firearms Mastery Track

What it does

One-on-one range work built on measured drills — draw-to-first-hit, accuracy on the move, low-light engagement. Baselined in week one, tested against named standards throughout.

What it replaces

Years of trial-and-error range visits and piecemeal group classes.

What you get back

Certainty. You stop wondering if you’re competent — you have the timer data that says so.

Krav Maga pad-work with an instructor

2 · Krav Maga & Hands-On Defense

What it does

Private instruction in practical, close-range defense — most real encounters start inside arm’s reach, before any tool is in play.

What it replaces

A martial-arts membership and the 18–24 months of group classes it takes to get functional.

What you get back

Options at every distance — not a person whose only answer is a firearm.

Training under pressure

3 · Stress & Decision Training

What it does

Skills tested under elevated heart rate, time pressure on the shot timer, low light, and decision drills — the conditions of the 2am test, rehearsed safely.

What it replaces

Multi-day away courses, plus the travel and days off work they demand.

What you get back

A tested nervous system. The first time your hands shake won’t be the night it counts.

Instructor briefing on home defense

4 · Home-Defense Audit + Written Family Plan

What it does

We walk your actual home — entries, sightlines, safe room, staging — and deliver a written, family-specific protection plan.

What it replaces

A professional security consultation — except those firms assess and leave; we assess, plan, then train you to execute it.

What you get back

Sleep. The 2am question has a written answer on paper and a rehearsed answer in your household.

Instructor coaching during a private session

5 · Family Safety Session

What it does

A private session that brings your spouse — and, where appropriate, your kids — into the plan: communication, movement, lockdown, roles.

What it replaces

The impossible task of explaining all this yourself, credibly, at the dinner table.

What you get back

A team instead of dependents. And a spouse who watched professionals validate the investment.

Defensive pistol fundamentals

6 · Texas License to Carry — Handled

What it does

Your LTC completed inside the program — classroom portion online, proficiency qualification administered by a DPS-certified LTC instructor. No separate weekend in a strip-mall classroom.

What it replaces

A standalone LTC course and a lost Saturday.

What you get back

A Saturday — and legal carry competence taught to a far higher standard than the state minimum.

Optics and gear, specced right

7 · Concierge Layer

What it does

Gear consult (we audit what you own and sell nothing), priority scheduling around your calendar, and a direct text line to your instructor — not a front desk.

What it replaces

Thousands in counter-guy gear mistakes and the scheduling friction that kills every training habit you’ve tried to start.

What you get back

Time — the thing you actually can’t buy more of. The program bends around your life, not the reverse.

Priced against what the pieces cost separately at Austin-market rates — assemble them yourself and you’ll pass this number without the integration, the measurement, or the guarantee.

The Sentinel Guarantee

By the end of week 12, you will meet the Sentinel Standards — measured, on a timer, witnessed by your instructor:

  1. Draw-to-first-hit from concealment on a threat-size target at defensive distance — under the par time set at your week-1 baseline and written into your enrollment agreement.
  2. A passing score on our low-light engagement drill, against the standard written into your enrollment agreement.
  3. A passing score on the movement drill, against the standard written into your enrollment agreement.
  4. A completed home-defense audit and written family plan, walked through with your household.

If you attend all of your scheduled sessions and do not meet these standards by week 12, we extend your training — at no charge — for up to 8 additional weeks until you do.

If, at the end of the extension, you still haven’t met the standards, you choose: keep training with us at no charge on a standard schedule, or take a refund of 50% of the program fee. Your call, stated in writing, no negotiation needed.

The guarantee asks one thing of you: attend every scheduled session. Rescheduling through your priority line is fine — life moves, we move with it. Sessions missed without being rescheduled void the guarantee.

The standards are numbers on a timer, not an instructor’s mood. You’ll know exactly where you stand every week — no surprises at week 12.

The guarantee is void only in three cases, and we’ll tell you the moment any of them applies: a scheduled session is missed without being rescheduled, a serious safety-rule violation ends the program, or a legal-eligibility issue makes continued firearms training unlawful. In an eligibility case, unused program value is refunded pro-rata.

What the 12 weeks look like

A finite arc with an endpoint

  • Week 1 — Baseline. Every standard measured on day one: draw, accuracy, decision-making. You’ll know your real starting point — most clients are surprised, in both directions. Gear consult included.
  • Weeks 2–4 — Foundations. Weapons handling rebuilt to a professional standard. Krav Maga fundamentals begin. The habits that survive stress get installed here.
  • Weeks 3–5 — Home audit. We walk your home, then deliver the written family protection plan. The 2am question gets its answer on paper.
  • Weeks 5–8 — Pressure. Draw-to-first-hit on the timer. Movement. Low light. Stress work begins. LTC completed in this block.
  • Weeks 8–10 — Integration. Full scenario work: firearms, hands-on skills, and your actual home plan combined and rehearsed. The family safety session lands here.
  • Weeks 11–12 — The Standard. Final testing against the Sentinel Standards. Your week-1 numbers next to your week-12 numbers, in writing. You graduate when you pass — and per the guarantee, we don’t stop until you do.

Asked by every serious client before you

Questions, answered straight

“How do I explain a $12,500 training program to my spouse?”

Bring her. Seriously — the Threat Assessment is a better conversation than any pitch you’d make at home, and the program includes a family safety session because her buy-in isn’t an obstacle, it’s part of the plan. Spouses aren’t usually skeptical of the training — they’re skeptical of another expensive hobby. This isn’t one. It’s a written plan for the household and measured proof you can execute it.

“I’ve been shooting for 20 years. What’s this going to teach me?”

Maybe nothing — the timer will tell us. That’s the honest answer, and it’s why week 1 is a measured baseline instead of a sales pitch. Range experience and performance under stress are different skills; most experienced shooters we test are excellent at the first and unexamined at the second. If your numbers already meet the Sentinel Standards, we’ll tell you — and the program becomes advanced work.

“I don’t have time for this.”

You don’t have time for the alternatives — the 40-minute drives, the lane waits, the Saturday group courses. The program is built for exactly your calendar: one private firearms session (2 or 4 hours) plus one private Krav Maga hour each week, booked through priority scheduling around your commitments, with a direct text line to your instructor when life moves. Twelve weeks, then done — with the capability installed for good.

“Why does it cost $12,500?”

Because you’re not buying hours — you’re buying an outcome with a guarantee attached, delivered one-on-one by instructors whose time genuinely can’t be bought in bulk (that’s why we cap at four clients). Assemble the pieces yourself — private instruction at market rates, a security consultant, a Krav program, an LTC course — and you’d pass this price without the integration, the measurement, or the guarantee.

“I don’t want anyone knowing I’m doing this.”

That’s half the reason clients choose us. Private facility, private range, one-on-one sessions — you’ll never train in front of a stranger. We don’t publish client names, we don’t post client photos without written permission, and your file stays ours. Discretion isn’t a feature we added; it’s the architecture of the whole facility.

“How do you keep this safe?”

Safety is the first standard we hold, and the environment is engineered for it: one student, one professional instructor, our own range under our own rules — the opposite of the public-range chaos that probably made you uneasy in the first place. Our instructors spent careers training people under military safety protocols far stricter than any civilian range.

“Why wouldn’t I just take a few classes instead?”

You can — most of our clients did, first. Classes teach material; they don’t build capability. A 12-person course moves at the pace of the slowest student, tests nothing, and ends with a certificate instead of a number. The gap between “took the class” and “would perform at 2am” is exactly the gap this program exists to close. Classes are information. This is installation.

“I travel constantly. What happens when I’m gone for two weeks?”

The program flexes. Priority scheduling means we build around your travel calendar, not a fixed weekly slot — stack sessions before a trip, resume when you land. The 12-week arc can stretch where it needs to without penalty; the guarantee is tied to standards met, not a stopwatch on the calendar.

Four clients. That’s not marketing.

We train four Sentinel clients at a time — because one-on-one work with this level of instructor doesn’t scale, and we won’t dilute it.
