If you’ve been waiting for the right time to start… this is it. Start TODAY and begin your RISE.

STEP 1: S.A.F.E. Start

Coming April 2026

S.A.F.E. Start is a calm, confidence-building introduction to personal safety and firearms readiness designed for women who want to feel safer without pressure, fear or intimidation.

This is a classroom only experience created especially for beginners, first time shooters and women who simply want to clarify, confidence and practical awareness skills before ever stepping onto a range.

You don't need experience,

You don't need equipment,

You just need the desire to feel more confident and prepared.

In just two hours, you will learn:

  • How to increase your situational awareness in everyday life,

  • Why distance and proximity matter in personal safety,

  • You non-lethal and lethal defense options - and when each applies,

  • Firearms basics and the four universal safety rules,

  • How confidence and awareness always come before tools.

You'll finish with guided classroom simulations that help everything "click" in a calm, supportive environment. You'll walk out clearer, calmer and more confident - not overwhelmed. This class is the first step into Tactics Matter's Rise of the Protector Series.

STEP 2: First Shot Lab

**ENROLLING NOW**

First Shot Lab is your guided on ramp to confident, safe and capable handgun ownership! Whether you're brand new or you've only shot a little, we start with the fundamentals that matter most with the Basic Pistol Course: safe handling, grip, stance, sight alignment, trigger control and how to build consistency without feeling overwhelmed.

From there we help you Discover Your Best Fit Firearm through hands on coaching and real world guidance, so you can stop guessing and start choosing with confidence. You'll learn what features actually matter for your hands, your comfort level and your goals - and you'll leave with clarity on what you should train with moving forward.

Finally, we bring it all together by preparing you for the Texas License to Carry (LTC) pathway with clear instruction, supportive coaching and a step by step plan so you know exactly what to do next.

STEP 3: Capability Master Track

Coming August 2026

The Capability Master Track is the elite skill building step inside The Rise of the Protector Series! This is where you sharpen the tools, timing and decision making that separate "I can shoot" from "I'M READY"!

In the Master Track, you'll earn three "Ready Badges" through focused, high standard timing:

  • Carry Ready (Holster): safe, efficient draw mechanics, responsible carry habits and practical application,

  • Precision Ready (Red Dot): confident optic use, cleaner sight tracking and accuracy with speed and control,

  • Home Ready (Rifle): responsible rifle handling and practical readiness for home defense skill development.

The Capability Master Track is designed to help you train at a higher level so when you step into the Empowered Protector Academy you're not catching up, you're prepared.

Earn your Ready Badges. Build real capability. Enter the Academy with confidence!
