ALWAYS READY means never waiting for the perfect conditions.
No weather waiver. No second chance.
We train how we fight—dynamic, mobile, and unforgiving.
Real tactics. Real tech.
This is the future of training.
This is how the best stay ready.
ALWAYS READY. by @marathontargets

No weather waiver. No timeline. No second chances. We train like it’s war—because one day, it will be. We don’t prep for convenience, we prep for contact. Excellence doesn’t clock out until the task is complete, and neither do we.

Getting to shoot @marathontargets after dark might be one of my favorite parts of our Sept @wppr_usa event. Movers in the day time are fun… movers after dark are next level!

Also check out how clean that white phos PVS27 is… beautiful image here with no IR illumination. Rifle is the @geissele 6.5cm bolt gun in an @mdttac21 DRT chassis with the @nightforce_optics NX6 up top.

Marathon Targets is a massive value add to Kinetic Comps sniper team matches, bringing autonomous robotic targets into scenario-driven training creating complex engagements that cause shooters to think, move, communicate, and adapt in real time.

This is where live-fire training is headed.

Know a shooter, instructor, venue, or agency that needs to see what's possible? Send them this reel.

Better yet, tag someone who only shoots static targets!

Marathon Targets will be at AUSA Annual in Washington, D.C.

We’re bringing autonomous target systems designed to help modern forces build more realistic, operationally relevant training environments — with the movement, feedback, and adaptability static targets cannot provide.

📅 October 12–14

There’s a reason this match is called Kinetic Comps—and @marathontargets is a big part of it.

For the 2nd year in a row, Marathon Targets has stepped up as the Title Sponsor of Kinetic Comps—and they’re a huge reason this match actually lives up to its name.

The teams are KINETIC.
The stages are KINETIC.
And the targets? KINETIC.

Across multiple stages, competitors engaged Marathon Targets from as close as 25 all the way out to 925 meters, with robotic targetry providing immediate, realistic feedback on every engagement.

The team at Marathon Targets are absolute experts in robotic targetry, and just as importantly, they’re stand-up guys who have been an absolute pleasure to work with.
We genuinely couldn’t build this match the way we do without them.

Two years. One incredible partnership. And a whole lot of targets that don’t stand still. 🤝🇺🇸

Modern training requires targets that behave like real vehicles — not static props parked on a range.

The T-100 autonomous vehicle target system was built to create realistic movement, dynamic engagements, and operational pressure in environments where terrain becomes part of the scenario.

Capable of realistic vehicle speeds, the platform delivers autonomous threat replication across rugged operational ranges while enduring direct impacts, airburst effects, and repeated live-fire exposure.

Recently fielded during African Lion 26 in Morocco, the T-100 operated in austere desert terrain alongside emerging autonomous and AI-enabled training systems.

Because realistic training doesn’t come from predictable targets.
It comes from systems designed to move, react, survive, and force decisions under pressure.

Huge shout out to our competitors and those that came to drag knuckles and ring steel.

Day 1 is In the books and we’re ready to see what day 2 has in store. Ruck up, run your bolts and get out there! You got this ladies and gentleman.

We collectively could not be more proud of everyone involved. Most notably our incredible competitors, sponsors, RO’s! taken in Day Mountain Ranch Resort by @marathontargets

While editing today’s video on calculating mover leads I realized you can literally see the bullet flying for one of the shots…. Wait till you see this in slo mo!

If you’re curious how to determine leads for unknown speed moving targets, hop over to YouTube and check out today’s video drop!

Had a chance to try out the mover function in the @vortexoptics ACE on some @marathontargets after last weekends WPPR event… here’s a quick look at the process to utilize the mover function and the accuracy of the data.

Who else has had a chance to play with the mover function in the ace and what was your experience?

Introducing From the Field: an ongoing series of training moments captured on cell phones when a camera crew isn’t available. The footage is raw, the environments are real, and each installment offers a closer look at dynamic training in action.

In this run, the team engages from a moving platform, advances through the same target array, and transitions to the robotic movers that remain active. When a target is eliminated, its downed position gives the shooter immediate visual confirmation of what is down—and what still demands action.
Movement. Threat discrimination. Compressed timelines. Decisions under pressure.
