I went for a private lesson and it was exactly what I was looking for. The instructor and staff were amazingly kind and helpful. I'll be back for more courses for sure.
Great place to learn… Randy was awesome!
Randy provides clear instructions and knowledge that will make you more confident. Very helpful classes and staff.
Randy was a great instructor and the course was very helpful.
The Carbine Level 1 course was excellent as a first-time choice, even I considered it as the ideal personal 30th birthday experience gift for myself!!

The Carbine Level 1 course was excellent as a first-time choice, even I considered it as the ideal personal 30th birthday experience gift for myself!! The fundamentals of learning the way around your selected choice of compact rifle was enhanced further by the certified firearms expert instructor, Randy. He will teach you many things, some of which were quite new to me, especially on using an AR platform weapon responsibly. One-on-one coaching is available. Take everything you already know about firearms, and this business will add more to your plate of knowledge and real time experience. I definitely recommend Shadow Hawk Defense for anyone in or near Berkeley County, WV to give them a chance to train effectively. An official certificate is awarded for completion of the course as proof of attendance. A++ Less
Nice couple runs the facility. Neat outdoor facilities. Range I shot in is 25-200 yards. Wish I could shoot more.
I had the worst experience at this range. Not only did they charge me once over the phone for the try before you buy I then let them know that I already paid for it upon arrival and they just kept brushing it off and charged me again for it. The owner spent a majority of the time criticizing our ability to shoot a gun. I’m new to the area and ranges from where I am from typically rent out PPE and... More
I had the worst experience at this range. Not only did they charge me once over the phone for the try before you buy I then let them know that I already paid for it upon arrival and they just kept brushing it off and charged me again for it. The owner spent a majority of the time criticizing our ability to shoot a gun. I’m new to the area and ranges from where I am from typically rent out PPE and lets you buy targets. He belittled my boyfriend and I for not having any of the equipment with us. We ended up leaving early from the range. Definitely won't be returning Less
Randy and his staff provided a wonderful experience and made sure the experience was safe fun and instructional. We quilified on a basic level coarse that the seal instructors must pass and had more hands on instruction than classroom. Thank you shadow hawk i look forward to progressing in more classes.
The personnel were very helpful and friendly. Went out the way to ensure we had a safe and enjoyable experience
Went with some girlfriends to the range today. It was amazing. Randy helped every single one of us be more comfortable with pistols. Amazing time. We can’t wait to go back. Thanks Much
Great place with great staff... A must visit
We had a fantastic time this past weekend with a range rental. Lynn was awesome to work with, as was our RSO. If you are looking for a great place to shoot and learn, look at Shadow Hawk. Will definitely return for some classes/events in the future!
Premier place for the competitive shooting and training community.
I have been to this range about 4 times.great people more that will to help you with all of your shooting needs..
I've taken 2 classes at Shadow Hawk Defense and I'm compelled to share about it: Both Randy and Lynn are amazing people and the training you experience is second to none.

I've taken 2 classes at Shadow Hawk Defense and I'm compelled to share about it: Both Randy and Lynn are amazing people and the training you experience is second to none. Randy is not just a great instructor, he's a real educator. His approach creates situations that push you to identify and correct your own mistakes, the way they question your decisions makes you reflect on your own process, adding a layer of strategic thinking that has not been present in any other training groups I've been with. What sets this group apart is their vast experience. They've spent a lifetime operating and training, and the knowledge imparted on you comes from real life lessons. To anyone considering training or signing up with Shadow Hawk Defense, you've found the right group. These trainers are real experts, and the classes are an insane value in comparison to the other training groups in our area. It's also a beautiful area to drive through. Thank you Randy and Lynn!

Great place to compete. Everyone is friendly and helpful.
This range has many options and plenty of training classes as well as competition shooting matches. The single lane ranges are freaking awesome. Lynn got us settled quickly and we felt at home with her. We had Randy as our RSO and he was a pleasure to have around. Wished I could give 10 stars.
I came to Shadow Hawk Defense for their try before you buy program since I have unusually small hands and have never owned a gun. They were professional, accommodating and really helped me when I had no clue what I was talking about. Today I attended the Level 1 Pistol training.

I came to Shadow Hawk Defense for their try before you buy program since I have unusually small hands and have never owned a gun. They were professional, accommodating and really helped me when I had no clue what I was talking about. Today I attended the Level 1 Pistol training. The classroom portion of the training was extremely informative and educational to the complete novice that I am. I didn’t feel less than because I was brand new to the subject of all of it. The class was presented in a way that was easily understood. They then take you to the range which was my favorite part since I’m more of a hands on learner. They were patient, encouraging and really explained the how’s and whys. I left today with a new perspective on being a brand new gun owner and confident in what I was taught today. I look forward to future training with them. Less
Great place, awesome folks to work with highly recommended by myself and many friends..
Transplant from TX to WV, took the Concealed Carry training, Randy is highly skilled and knowledgeable and very patient with the student. He teaches in a methodical and concise way so the training sinks in to the brain, even my old brain ;). Big thanks to Lynn and Randy for a wonderful experience. Looking forward to heading back out to SHD to get in some much needed range time.
Quick visit to burn some ammo with Lea.
Five Stars,⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great range, great staff. Very flexible and huge variety of options. Highly recommend. Ranges, instruction available, many options. Check out their website. FIVE STARS. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Had a great experience and will definitely return.
I love coming here to shoot uspsa (other too) good atmosphere. The have umbrellas so you can hide from the Sun or rain. They bring out water when it gets hot (thank you). There's a lot of good reasons why I'm here every other Saturday
Recently visited Shadow Hawk for a Concealed Carry 2 course, and it was fantastic. The facility is clearly well cared for, and the instruction is best-in-class.

Visited today to just see what they offer, look at the facilities and meet the people. The most important takeaway for me is that the owners Randy and Lin are super nice people and very happy to welcome a new gunner. Too often I have run across experienced shooters who don't have time for a beginner and leave me with a feeling of being looked down upon. Not these folks. I will be taking several c... More

staff was very flexible, friendly, and helpful. Nice place to visit and practice shooting
Great instructors, great experience. You will 100% leave the facility a safer, better operator of a firearm.
As a firearm instructor, It was refreshing to find a range as professional and accommodating as Shadow Hawk. I'll be back!
Amazing facility. Range was better than expected. Definitely will return for more events.
Amazing facility. Great range and definitely without a doubt we will be back for more events
Recently took their pistol 1 course and had a great time. Randy was very personable and easy to take instruction from. I would recommend shadow hawk to anyone and will be returning for more training.
Top of the Line. Safe, fun, informative, and relaxed. My wife got the Room Clearing/CQB course for my birthday and we lost track of time with how much we were enjoying it.

Go here don’t waist your time at SPTF!!
Friendly staff. Gave everybody water on a very hot day of shooting.
Very good experience! First time took class CQB from shadow hawk, great training. Be back again take cqb2.
The best place to go to! The co-owners are amazing! They were very helpful! They went above and beyond to advise us and were friendly and welcoming. We highly recommend it! We look forward to going back! Thank you!
First time at Shadow Hawk Defense the owners, instructors and facilities are amazing. I signed up for Shadow Hawk Defense Ninja Camp what was an amazing weekend of martial arts and Firearms training. If you want to learn firearms from the nation's best instructors this is the place to go. Can't wait for next time.
Amazing grounds and facilities. Wonderful instruction. cannot wait to come back.
I shot the Point Series today. About 15 mins after arriving, I locked my keys, firearm, ammo, ears, everything inside my car. They lent me all the equipment I needed to shoot while roadside assistance made its way out. They made me feel right at home. I really enjoy this range and the owners are great!
Best place around hands down Loved it
Amazing place, highly recommend!
First time ever coming here to shoot in a major match. The facility was amazing and the staff was above and beyond!!!!! We drove down from New York for the match and it was worth every mile we drove. I hope they hold more major matches like this! Great job to everyone involved!!!
My favorite place to shoot. I live outside of Baltimore MD and make the 2 hour drive as often as I can. Lynn and Randy are awesome and do the best they can do to make sure everyone has a fun safe time. I have shot 2 gun and uspsa matches and they have all been awesome stages. Nice clean bays, you can tell they really care about the shooters and the facility.
This range is a breath of fresh air in a world gasping to breathe, such a joy to meet people with knowledge and a personality. Thank you so much from me and my wife, we had fun and will be coming back real soon. A very clean and safe and friendly place to learn or just to enjoy shooting.
awesome place!! my absolute favorite shooting range.
Professional, clean, well ran, and worth 20 per hour. Able to shoot while on the move at distance with rifle and pistol. Best civilian range I've trained on.
My wife and I were in the area for a get away weekend. We came across Shadowhawk for a local place to get some range time together. The facility was really cool, and was a great experience. The owner is so friendly, too! Thank you!
The range is amazing. They offer daily passes and course instruction. Their facility is clean and beautiful. Oh… yeah… THEY SELL AMMO too!!!
Had my first visit there yesterday for Close Quarters Combat (CQB) Level 1. Purchased the course as a birthday present for my brother-in-law.

Had my first visit there yesterday for Close Quarters Combat (CQB) Level 1. Purchased the course as a birthday present for my brother-in-law. Neither one of us can wait to go back for another course, maybe even the same one to keep improving our skills. The course itself was great, fun, well presented, and based on repetition. I enjoyed each run through the house because I learned something new each time I repeated the process. I noticed as the day move along, I was getting a little bit more comfortable with some maneuvers, and definitely could tell where I wasn't doing things the best way. So that tells me that learning is taking place! Randy & Paul were our instructors, and between them probably have 70+ years of experience in this field. I assume the other instructors they have with other courses are every bit as skilled. I hadn't had to train for small unit combat (close quarters or otherwise) in nearly 20 years, and I was blown away (figuratively and literally) at how much the TTPs have changed since I was wearing a uniform. When you're used a full assault team coming in the door behind you, then learn that, "No"... ALL the jobs angles are yours", it really changes the way you think about a tactical situation. My brother-in-law and I can't wait to come back and try another course, maybe even the same one. Very enjoyable, and a unique experience. Less

Great facility and staff!
Learned a lot... great experience... great instructors!
Shot the idpa . Match ln August great stages and great people
I'm a first time gun owner and in wanting to be a responsible gun owner, I had my first training session with Randy. He was very patient and a wonderful instructor (Lynn is wonderful as well). By the time I left I felt more confident, not to mention a little proud proud of myself. Thank you Lynn and Randy.
Very organized facility and kind staff. I could be well trained with very competitive environment for shooters.
Without a doubt the nicest range I have ever been to. The owners and staff are absolute gems, as well.
Shadow Hawk is a great range ran by great people. Lynn and Randy are easy to work with and always set up fantastic matches. Highly recommended for any shooter or aspiring shooter.
My wife and I shoot competitions there several times a month great range and great people
Beginner? Experienced? No matter, check out Shadow Hawk Defense. You can learn the basics or advanced skills. You will NOT be disappointed. I've taught here and I've trained here. I highly recommend this professional and tactically sound establishment.
Great facility, great people. My favorite competition and training range in the area for sure.
Awesome facility and even awesomer people! Great matches and a fun atmosphere. Everyone has always been super friendly and just good to be around!
I was here for a Paramount Tactical Solutions class and was incredibly impressed with the range. My daughter and I have been talking about going back for a competition and more training since.
This is the Best Training facility in the Area for sure. +Best Staffs, Friendly People NO.1 Range! (USPSA, Steelchallenge, 2Gun, outlaw matches and more)
Great place to shoot -- was there last year for the USPSA Area 8 Match. Lots of well maintained bays. Lynn and Randy are great folks. Can't wait for this year's Area 8. Wish it wasn't so far away from my home!!
Great range. Great staff. Very good experience. Will be back and recommend

Always a great time and excellent instruction at Shadow Hawk. Lynn and Randy do a great job. Highly recommend. They are also open to the public! Call them to schedule and rent a bay and enjoy an awesome time shooting and improving your skills!
Randy was a great host. The prices to shoot at his range are more than reasonable. He gave us a tour after we got done shooting. Range is very clean and well kept. Thanks for having us! We will definitely be back!
Highly highly recommend Shadow Hawk. Came into WV with a group of buddies and wanted to shoot. Randy was incredibly welcoming and made the experience so easy that we decided to go back the next day. Facility is beautiful and clean. 5 out of 5 all day.

Regardless if this is your first time at the range, or a seasoned, competitive shooter, this is the place for you. During the winter season check out their indoor pellet 🔫 matches. You can borrow their guns, costs just $10, four fun shoot on the move stages, and the most fun you'll have this winter! Less
Great facility! Wonderful site.
Friendly people, outstanding matches, true professionals.
Fun matches. Great staff. Helpful and professional owners.
Top notch facility with excellent staff. Can't wait to get more training there!
Awesome facility with top-notch personnel! Safety, professionalism, positivity, quality facilities and instruction and fun are all found at Shadow Hawk. You won’t be disappointed!! This was my first steel shoot, and I felt supported and encouraged despite my initial insecurities. Top notch
Excellent Shooting Facility Friendly Staff, if you love the Ring of Steel this is your next stop, shooting for all levels challenging courses so you will not be board of shooting paper again
Great facility and owners. Nice taking the USCCA class this week with you 2 and Paul
Well organized USPSA match with challenging states with one classifier. Great to be with a group of like minded people.
Awesome place, and awesome people. Randy and Lynn are fantastic, and do above and beyond for the firearm community.
Pleasant to talk with and very knowledgeable. Will return for shooting matches.
I've shot in competitions at a lot of different places. Shadow Hawk's matches are well run and lots of fun. Lynn and Randy are welcoming, helpful, responsive, and make you feel like family. Great place, great people.
Amazing Place! Instructors and Staff ...Extremely Knowledgeable, Helpful and Welcoming!
I loved shooting outside. I’m glad it was coved from any weather. It was raining earlier. You do need knee pads for the rocks.
Great place to shoot! Great 2 gun matches!!
Staff is great. Facility is well maintained. This was the first time for me shooting here and shooting in any competition and was made to feel right at home. Definitely returning for another round ( no pun intended ).
Great ranges and awesome owners! Highly recommend.
Great facility, perfect place for USPSA
Shadowhawk is a top notch, world class facility nestled in the hills of WV.. Lynn and Randy are both engaging and professional. Shadowhawk is a purpose built, and functional facility. Whether you’re looking for a training or competition venue, head to Shadowhawk. You won’t be disappointed.
Attend Uspsa matches there. Great facility, friendly group, and terrific matches. I highly recommend this facility.
This Place is AMAZING!!! The Best of the Best When it Comes to FIrearms Training, and Close Quarter Combat! I have been in the Business for 30 Years...and THESE GUYS ARE THE BEST!!
Awesome facility and better people.
Owns are wonderful and very nice

Beautiful facility, where safety is paramount.
Safety and fun at my first women’s steel target shoot. Looking forward to more opportunities for some friendly competition.
Awesome 1st time at SH, definitely will be back!! Thank you Lynn, great place!!
Outstanding facility and people. I drive past another facility to get to shadow hawk. This is the way a facility should be run and how shooters and trainers alike should be treated...
Awesome facility, run excellent matches.
Great facility and great owners
Wonderful facility and outstanding staff!
Quality range.
It was 86 there Saturday.and 40 Some here today ?
I have trained with many different special operators and law enforcement personnel. Randy is one of the best instructors I have ever worked with. He makes the simple things mean everything. Love shooting and learning from him.
Excellent facility. Top rate instruction. It was well worth the two hour drive.
Beautiful range, top notch people, great matches, looking forward to 2018 don't miss out
Beautiful facility, awesome people . I have all intentions of returning
Great setup. Good people running the show. Looking forward to the next one!
Gosh. What can I say? Lynn and Randy are so friendly and professional and the property at SHD is first class. The facility has everything needed to host a pistol or rifle class with multiple students. Also check out their USPSA and steel matches.
Sweet setup and awesome range.. Some of the best stages I've shot in a while
A top tier range. Absolutely stunning. 10 outa 10 will shoot here again.
Outstanding range! Lynn has done a phenomenal job putting together a world class facility.
