Hi, I'm Woody.

The day my worst nightmare came true... was the day I learned that being prepared matters.

As I pulled up to my house with several police cars out front and a man in cuffs, my heart stopped.

An officer walked over before I even turned off the car.

She asked, "Are you the husband?"

I said, yes.

"Go inside. Your wife is in there."

That was it. No explanation. No reassurance. AND NO MENTION OF MY KIDS.

Just those six words standing between me and my worst nightmare...

"My wife is home alone with the kids most days, and I had to face the hard truth, We had no plan if someone invaded our home and that terrified me. Do you hide with the kids? Confront the intruder? And with what? We didn't even know the basics. The fear kept me up at night. What if something happened while I was at work? Now, we have a specific plan and my family all knows exactly what to do. We know how to create barriers, where to position for the advantage, and what to do if they breach our safe room. We've practiced the scenarios as a family until the response is automatic. The best part is my family's safety doesn't depend on me being home anymore.”

"I've been shooting for over 10 years but I have to admit, I've never actually trained for real threats. I could shoot paper targets great, but I didn't know how to fight in a parking lot with my wife next to me or draw if someone grabbed me first. I feel like i've been gambling with my family's safety for over a decade. Woody has helped me really pressure test new skills under stress in the situations that I'm most likely to face. I finally feel confident and prepared that I have the skills to protect my family when they need me the most."
