Built on Responsibility. Driven by Readiness.
Haven Defense Group exists to provide Americans with professional training rooted in safety, clarity, and real-world application.
Why we started
We are a group of veterans that have always put one thing at the forefront. Dedication to the mission. We have over 60 years of combined experience in the field, in real world environments spaning over 6 of the 7 continents. We believe the average American is under prepared for the true challenges of life. Evil and complacency. We are here to change that by providing every student that comes through our courses a tried and true insight into our experiences, skills, and methods. We want you to be prepared for the worst.

Skills that translate into Real-Life
“I came in not knowing how to run my rifle confidently. By the end of the day, I understood not just how it works, but how to handle malfunctions, movement, and safety like a professional. This wasn’t a range day, it was real training.”
— Ben C., Graduate: Intro to Firearms
“We brought several team members for preparedness training. The instructors immediately identified our weaknesses, corrected them, and gave us repeatable drills we now practice weekly.”
— Adam, Church Safety Coordinator
Austin TX
“I didn’t realize how much I didn’t know until this class. The fundamentals were clearly explained, demonstrated, and coached. I’m already signed up for the next course.”
— Dylan P. - Graduate of Rifle Fundamentals
