Mid-week classes in full swing.

Long Range Precision and Intermediate Handgun wrapped up with an outstanding group of experienced shooters. From ringing steel past 800 meters to single-hand handgun operation under stress, these courses were all about refining fundamentals and building real-world capability.

Great reps, solid mindset, and strong performance across the board.

See you in the classroom.
See you on the range.

We’re excited to be back at the SAVE Expo this year — February 27th through March 1st!

Hard Target Solutions will be presenting Austere Medicine & Backcountry Medical Essentials, covering the realities of medical care when help is delayed, environments are unforgiving, and preparation matters. From environmental injuries to trauma management and medical emergencies off-grid — we’ll be bringing practical, field-ready knowledge you can actually use.

We’ll also have a booth set up throughout the event. Stop by, say hello, check out our training programs, and talk shop about emergency preparedness, backcountry travel, and operational medicine.

Looking forward to another outstanding year at this annual event.

We ran both our Fundamental and Intermediate courses throughout the entire weekend with multiple clients on the line. The weather held beautifully — truly couldn’t have asked for better conditions or a better range to train on. When preparation meets opportunity, great training happens.

Now we roll straight into another full week.
From Long Range Precision to Fundamental Carbine, to Fundamental Handgun, and wrapping it all up with classroom instruction and ongoing security and safety assessments — we’re covering ground on every front.

We’re rocking and rolling again.

See you on the range.

Back to the HTS Batcave.
Reset. Repack. Reload.

Then it’s right back out to the ranges, the classrooms, and everything else we’ve got rolling this week. No slowdown—just work.

See you in the classroom.

New ventures. New clients. New market areas opening up.

We’re building momentum and setting conditions now for some big moves later in 2026. Expansion doesn’t happen overnight—it’s the result of consistent work, strong partnerships, and staying focused on doing things the right way.

Big things are coming. We’re looking forward to these new ventures and what’s ahead as we continue to grow, adapt, and deliver.

Finished another Long Range Precision course this weekend. There’s nothing louder—or more fun—than running a .50 BMG, especially a Barrett .50. Big gun, big fundamentals, real precision at distance.

We’ve got a long week ahead and a full month in front of us with classrooms and ranges stacked back-to-back. Exactly where we want to be. Training hard, building capability, and staying sharp.

Back to work. See you on the range.

Ending the week the only way we know how—running on caffeine and purpose. ☕️
Long days in clinical rotations, sharpening skills where it actually matters, learning from those who’ve done the work and lived it.

Now it’s a quick reset, more coffee, and shifting gears.
Looking forward to instructing on the range tomorrow—turning lessons learned into lessons taught.

Different environments. Same mindset. Always building.

Out on the road today, doing what we do best — building better communities.

School safety isn’t a once-a-year checkbox — and it definitely doesn’t end in August.

Threat assessment is ongoing.
Emergency Operations Plans must be living documents, not binders on a shelf.
Crisis Response Teams need to be trained, exercised, and validated long after the school year starts.

That’s why we don’t disappear after back-to-school season.

We visit and assess our clients every quarter to evaluate:
• Threat assessment processes
• EOP validity and real-world effectiveness
• Crisis Response Team readiness
• Day-to-day safety and security operations

Because schools change. People change. Threats change.
And your safety posture has to change with them.

We make the difference because we are different —
consistent, realistic, and grounded in operational experience, not hype.

Safety is a process. Preparedness is a mindset.

This week isn’t about marketing.
It’s about building the skill set.

We teach what we preach—and that means staying in the arena ourselves. The last few days (and this week as a whole) have been dedicated to sharpening our medical and operational skill sets, learning from clinicians and operators with decades of real-world experience.

Our courses aren’t built from theory or recycled slides. They’re built from operational experience, continuous learning, and humility—knowing that if we expect our clients to perform under pressure, we owe it to them to keep evolving ourselves.

Training never stops.
Experience matters.
And best practices are earned, not copied.

That’s how we build capability—for ourselves and for those we train.

Today’s pre-hospital trauma training and AHA BLS/CPR/AED course for a group of teachers went exceptionally well. This group is now certified and capable of responding to cardiac arrest in adults, children, and infants, while also providing basic first aid and both basic and advanced pre-hospital trauma care.

Training covered real-world interventions including tourniquet application, wound packing, pressure and digital hemorrhage control, and AED use. This wasn’t just lecture or theory—every student built hands-on, repeatable skills designed to function under stress and in real emergencies.

This is how you build true operational capability, not just check a box.

Looking forward to upcoming clinical rotations later this week to continue sharpening my own skill set so we can keep passing real-world experience on to those we train.

Course 26–010 | Long Range Precision

Another solid day on the range. This young man put in the work and earned it—consistent hits from positional shooting, solid fundamentals, proper scope adjustments, and correct holdovers.

Best part? A sustained 15 mph full-value wind doing what wind does best—forcing real thinking. Steel out at 500–700 meters wasn’t forgiving, but that’s the point. When conditions aren’t predictable, instruction and fundamentals matter. Today proved that.

We’re breaking down the range and resetting for trauma classes this week.
Different classroom. Same standard.
