Shadow Hawk Defense delivers basic, intermediate, and advanced courses in pistol, rifle, and shotgun. We also offer courses to meet Concealed Carry requirements. Beyond firearms, we teach Defensive Tactics, CQB (room clearing), and vehicle-based shooting. We also cover extreme close-quarters shooting and specialized disciplines. These are drawn from our training for security contractors. Join our weekly competitive shooting matches, including 2-gun, sanctioned USPSA, Outlaw, Steel Challenge, and PCSL events. Spectators attend free but must bring eye and ear protection.
As a responsible firearms owner, you strive to keep your skills sharp for proficiency and safety. Indoor ranges help build basics. But our outdoor ranges, shoot house, and defensive tactics room offer unmatched defensive and dynamic training.
Originally built to train professional security contractors, Shadow Hawk Defense now opens its doors to civilians. Our instructors, with extensive military and civilian expertise, commit to delivering top-quality education. We take firearms training seriously but ensure it’s safe and enjoyable for maximum impact.
