Nighthawk Custom Training Academy

We believe people who own guns should hold themselves to a higher standard. Our aim is to assist gun-owners of NWA and parts beyond to achieve that gold standard. And then maintain it through regular instruction, competitions and practice. We are not a public shooting range. We use our shooting range in conjunction with our training facility to bring renowned competitive and educational shooting opportunities to NWA for serious gun enthusiasts of all experience levels from beginner to professional. Monthly we offer classes such as CHL and Basic Gun Handling along with USPSA, IDPA and Rimfire competition matches. Our signature annual Nighthawk Custom Challenge IDPA Match is a can't miss and Ruger Rimfire Challenge State Matches are family-friendly events enjoyed by young and old at all levels of experience. We host classes for guest instructors such as Massad Ayoob Group, Rangemaster, Kathy Jackson, John Farnam and others throughout the year and facilitate multiple Project Appleseed Events. Private lessons are available and group lessons and events can be accommodated as well. Many local law enforcement agencies utilize our facilities for departmental drills, training and qualifications. We also offer Security Officer Training for organizations and churches and our ASSERT (Active School Shooter Emergency Response Training) for educational institutions.
