It’s not about us, it’s about you. Whether you’re a first-time firearm user, recreational shooter, competitive shooter, or seasoned professional, we empower you. We will help boost your confidence and skills with an exceptional training experience.
Strategically located on the NOVA/WV border in the greater DC metropolitan area.
Shadow Hawk Defense delivers basic, intermediate, and advanced courses in pistol, rifle, shotgun and tactics.
We teach Defensive Tactics, CQB (room clearing), and vehicle-based shooting, extreme close-quarters shooting and other specialized disciplines. These are drawn from our training for security contractors.
Join our weekly competitive shooting matches, including 2-gun, sanctioned USPSA, 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 deep bench of instructors possess extensive experience training military, military contractors and civilians. We understand your commitment to developing and maintaining superior skills. We’re pledging our commitment of a quality education to you. We take firearms training seriously but ensure it’s safe and enjoyable for maximum impact.
Shadow Hawk Defense is a professional facility. We’re not a traveling roadshow that comes into town for a weekend and disappears. We’re a permanent training center committed to the people we train. It’s a place where you can meet the owners and talk to them. We are here for you.
