In the shooting category, new dates are available for Dynamic Pistol 1–4 and Dynamic Rifle 1–4, including convenient Friday-to-Sunday options that allow traveling students to complete three consecutive levels within one weekend. We have also added new dates for Tactical Shotgun, Vehicle CQB, Combined Firearms, and an additional Basic Sniper course due to high demand, as most of the previous dates have already filled. For those looking for a unique experience, we still have a few available spots in the Aerial Platform Operations helicopter live-fire course. Within tactical courses, we have added new dates for CQB and CQB Advanced, One-Man CQB Pistol and Rifle, Home Defense, highly requested Active Shooter courses, and new FIBUA dates. Our River Operations course continues as well, offering students a completely new level of training thanks to a high-performance boat and realistic operational procedures inspired by special units. You will also find another term of Small Unit Tactics, along with Small Unit Tactics Live Fire, which represents the culmination of the entire SUT curriculum with live-fire training. In addition to the established Air Assault helicopter fast-rope course, we have introduced a brand-new Air Assault Advanced course, where students learn fast-rope techniques into a moving boat. We would also like to highlight our Personal Security Detail (PSD) course, conducted only once every two years and unique in Europe in terms of content, equipment, and instructional staff. In the medical section of our calendar, we have published NAEMT All Service Members dates for the very first time, and we have scheduled our regular medical courses for the remainder of the year, including Combat Lifesaver (CLS), Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC), First on the Scene (FOTS) and FATALE, allowing students to plan their medical training without schedule pressure. In the category of specialized courses, we have added new dates for the highly demanded Self-Defense Scenarios course, which is filling up quickly again, as well as the outdoor Survival course.

New Hard Task courses

We have added several new shooting and tactical courses to our portfolio and we have slightly modified one for you. The first new course is a shooting course Tactical Shotgun 2, where you'll learn shoulder transition, shooting from behind cover, transition to a backup weapon, shooting after a long move with an emphasis on reloading while moving quickly, shooting from cover after a long move, and shooting at a moving target. We have also prepared Low Light Scenarios, this time it is a purely tactical course, and is designed for graduates of our two-day Low Light course. The one day session will review all the important techniques and tactics followed by force on force scenarios with FX Simunition weapons and ammunition. Many of you have attended the CQB Tactical Course and have either continued on to the two-day CQB Advanced Course or have just inquired about other options. As such, we've kept the CQB content, and completely remake CQB Advanced, where you'll enjoy breaching techniques of the doors and doing more shield and ladder work instead of vehicle and bus assault. We have subsequently expanded the repertoire of CQB courses to include one-day CQB Scenarios, where the name itself suggests that these will be non-stop, full-day force on force scenarios and CQB Vehicle Intervention which is a course that focuses only on intervention against an suspects or terrorists in a vehicle or bus. If anyone wants to take it all in one piece, we've thought of you too and put together the equivalent of American SWAT Week, which consists of all of the above mentioned courses and culminates with tactical movements and scenarios with live weapons and ammunition in a kill house. We called the course CQB Week. And we're not done yet and we're still working on a few more new courses that we'll introduce you to soon.

OUR NEW INSTRUCTOR KAREL KADLCIK

We would like to introduce our new instructor Karel Kadlcik. He has over twenty years of experience in shooting and tactical training. He began his professional career in 2001. During his twelve years of service in the Czech Army, he participated in several overseas military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan as a Senior Reconnaissance Officer. His specialties included reconnaissance activities and close combat. After his military service, he joined Česká Zbrojovka, where he worked from 2013 to 2024 as a department head and test shooter. He led a presentation team, tested and demonstrated new firearms, and organized shooting training and exercises. He gained extensive experience not only in the field and on shooting ranges but also in human resource management and organizing various customer events. In 2013, Karel decided to expand his shooting skills by actively participating in sports shooting competitions, especially in IPSC and IDPA disciplines. Besides pistols, he is also proficient in rifle, PCC, and shotgun shooting. His goal is to achieve universal competence, smoothly transitioning between service, defensive, and sports shooting. In IPSC, he achieved numerous podium finishes at both national and international levels, including the Czech National Championship, Grand Prix, and other prestigious competitions. In IDPA, he earned the title of Hungarian Champion and placed 4th at the European Championship. Karel’s shooting skills are drawn from a variety of sources, including Hard Task, Aegis, and the Czech Army courses. Hundreds of clients, both in the Czech Republic and abroad, have had the opportunity to undergo shooting training under his leadership. Karel is also a graduate in the field of Personal and Property Protection, which gives him a solid foundation and broad insight into related professional areas. Hopefully you will meet him on a course soon and enjoy his leadership.

The Hard Task instructor team is growing

The Hard Task instructor team is growing. Starting in September, you’ll be able to meet Frantisek Vysata at our shooting and tactical courses — a professional with nearly three decades of service in the armed forces. Frantisek Vysata’s professional career began in 1998 when, after completing his compulsory military service, he joined the Police of the Czech Republic. After several years of service in general police units, he successfully passed a demanding selection process and, in 2008, was assigned to the SWAT Unit of the Regional Police Directorate of the Ústí nad Labem Region. There, he served as an operator and sniper and took part in dozens of live operations targeting perpetrators of serious violent crime over the course of more than six years of active duty. After completing the first phase of his police service, he chose to enter the ranks of the Czech Armed Forces. Within the Military Police, he served in both the Close protection department and the Rapid Response Unit. In this capacity, he continued his previous specialization as a sniper while also providing security for VIPs, convoys, and high-risk tactical operations. In 2020, he returned to the Police of the Czech Republic. Following a brief assignment with the Emergency Mobile Unit of Prague Police, he rejoined a SWAT Unit of the Capital City of Prague. Once again serving as an operator, he took part in numerous high-risk interventions similar to those he had participated in with hist first SWAT unit. Frantisek has also long been involved in service dog training, combat sports (particularly judo), and physical conditioning. In 2025, after more than 27 years of active duty in the armed forces, he decided to retire from service and continue developing his skills and experience in the civilian sector—primarily in the field of tactical training under the Hard Task brand.
