Horizons Heroes Academy – Building Tomorrow’s Heroes Today 🚑🩹🔥

This weekend’s Horizons Heroes Academy was nothing short of incredible. Kids ages 7 to 16 trained in life-saving skills — from fire safety and Stop the Bleed wound packing to tourniquet application, AED use, CPR, and so much more.

These young men and women have proven once again that age is no barrier to courage or competence. There’s no reason any child over the age of seven shouldn’t know these skills — because when seconds count, heroes act.

Our graduating Class 3.25 and 4.25 showed exactly why we call them Tomorrow’s Heroes Today. Strong, smart, and ready to step up when it matters most — these tiny heroes are truly anything but small.

Busy day yesterday wrapping up Horizons Heroes and assisting with an ACLS course.
Back up early this morning for a Movement to Threat – Advanced course out on the range.

Seems like these days I’m waking up about the same time I used to go to bed — but that’s the grind.
See you on the road. See you on the range.

Early mornings with tomorrow’s heroes. ☀️
Today we ran our Horizons Heroes Academy, one of our favorite programs to teach all year. These young heroes, ages 7–16, learned real-world skills in first aid, bleeding control, splinting, and teamwork — because preparedness has no age limit.

At Hard Target Solutions, we believe kids can save lives too — sometimes even better than adults. Every class reminds us why we do what we do: to build confidence, competence, and character in the next generation.

Finishing up certificates tonight for tomorrow’s graduation! 🎓
Our final Horizons Heroes Academy Class of 2025 (3.25 & 4.25) wraps up tomorrow, and we couldn’t be more proud. This is one of our favorite programs to run each year — training tomorrow’s heroes today, ages 7 to 16.

We’re changing the way people look at preparedness and proving that kids can save lives just like adults — sometimes even better than adults! 💪🩹 From CPR to massive hemorrhage control, these young heroes are learning skills that make a real difference.

Looking forward to a productive day tomorrow celebrating their accomplishments — and then it’s straight into assisting with an ACLS certification course. Never a dull moment when you’re building better skill sets and shaping the next generation of lifesavers.

Busy Week at HTS!
Another busy week in the books! We kicked things off with our Fundamental Self-Defense Handgun courses and range sessions for our newest clients.

Our courses are designed to help you learn how to use your firearm as a tool — to defend yourself and your family with skill and confidence. While our intermediate, advanced, and clinic-level courses are always a blast to run, everything starts with a solid foundation.

You can’t build high-level performance without mastering the basics — even in the most advanced courses, we always return to the fundamentals.

Another busy week ahead: Horizons Heroes, ACLS certifications, Movement-to-Threat courses, and more on the horizon.
See you on the range and in the classroom.

Every course we run is customized to the client—tailored to their ability, goals, and operational needs. Real training. Real skill building.

We are second to none.
See you on the range.

Back on the road in South Florida today conducting security consulting for several houses of worship and other clients.
Performing comprehensive security assessments is the foundation of building a functional, living Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) — not just a document that sits on a shelf.

It’s been a busy seven days of travel, assessments, and training as we continue to help organizations strengthen their readiness and resilience.

More updates coming soon — see you out on the road.

that’s a rap. we ran our beta — now releasing our newest course lineup.

Nocturnal Operator — Low-Light Weapons Course
📅 December 6 • 📍 Tango Down Shooting Complex (just outside Jacksonville)
5-hour, high-pace course: classroom + live-fire + scenario-based training. This is NOT for beginners — you must demonstrate weapons proficiency and safe weapons handling to attend. If you carry a weapon, most of the time it’s in low light — have you ever actually trained to shoot there?

Tactics, live fire, white-light/CQC, dark adaptation, and realistic scenarios — everything you need to operate when the lights go out. Seats are limited. Sign up now at www.hardtarget.org

Putting the final touches on our Low-Light Operations course — kicking off this weekend. This isn’t glamour training; it’s real, operational skill-building. If you carry a weapon in a car, you should know how to use it in a car. If you carry at night or in low light, you should train for those conditions — the fight you might face won’t wait for perfect weather or high noon.

We cover practical tactics, light discipline, optic and sight management, handheld and weapon-mounted light use, and movement in both indoor and outdoor dark environments. Darkness is your friend — learn to use it.

⚠️ This course is full. No spots are open for this session. We’ll be announcing our December and January course dates soon, so stay tuned for updates!

Nine Days. Countless Miles. Nonstop Impact.

We’ve been on the road for over a week—multiple states, multiple ranges, and more than a few boardrooms with some of our largest corporate clients. We haven’t posted much because we’ve been doing what we do best: training, consulting, and building capability.

In the past nine days alone, we’ve delivered:
✅ BLS/CPR Certifications
✅ Trauma Ready Initiative Courses
✅ Fundamental & Intermediate Handgun Training
✅ Carbine and Rifle Courses
✅ Personal Protection Seminars
✅ Emergency Operations Planning Consults
✅ Classroom Programs and Leadership Development

And that’s just scratching the surface.

The rest of our year is just as packed—with even bigger announcements coming soon.

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

🔥 Never stop training. Never stop moving. Never stop learning. 🔥
