My Wife and I took the Basic Pistol class at NWA Shooting Academy in January 2021. Jerad…read more(Instructor) did an excellent job! I appreciated how he had a patient and laid-back style of teaching, while still going over structured and well-organized content. The entire class took about 7 hours with three students. There was a good amount of hands on instruction in the classroom prior to going to the range. The range time was great! I had some limited experience shooting handguns prior to the class, so it was nice to have Jerad standing next to me, the entire time, providing coaching on how to handle the gun, trigger finger placement, breathing, etc... All in All, my wife and I both learned a LOT and feel more comfortable owning our firearms. I highly recommend this class to those of you that are new to handguns and want a strong beginner course.

I really learned a lot! Sometimes after being out of 'school' for awhile an 8 hour class can seem a little intimidating but it was well worth every minute of it! Any questions that I or anyone else had was answered and then discussed until everyone understood. I am much more confident in myself since going and I still have so much I want to learn. And now I know the place to go!! They seriously have so many different classes and I 10/10 recommended taking a class here. It will not disappoint!

When I contacted Jon from Nighthawk Custom Training, I had no idea what to expect. I had wanted to…read moretake MAG40 for some time. I had listened to a couple of different podcasts where Jon Hodoway was the guest speaker. Jon seemed to have a good sense of humor. One particular thing stood out to me, when Jon stated his opinion it was drawn from a solid knowledge base. He wasn't afraid if it wasn't popular at the time or the current training trend. He would give a "I do this particular thing and this is why" no dressing applied, I liked that. At the same time Jon (and Mas) would teach you a couple (or more) of different techniques and explain, find the one that works for you, not the "here is one technique and it's the best so use it" mentality. The entire training event was well planned and had accommodations very well in order for us. From the hotel arrangements to the great food around NW Arkansas. Everything went very smooth. One thing I noticed about Jon, he went out of his way to make sure everyone at the class had anything they needed to be comfortable, from ammo to aspirin. The staff at the range made sure everything was conducted in a safe, controlled learning manner. They shot the course before we did not only can they teach it but they can perform it. The Nighthawk factory was interesting and educational. The Nighthawk guns are really an awesome, working piece of artwork. All the people there were like the rest of the good folks from that area. You can see the Nighthawk people are very passionate about their work making the BEST firearm possible. At the class Massad Ayoob delivers a wealth of knowledge. Even at the breaks we would continue to absorb information from him. He has a great sense of humor and makes a wonderful educator. I'm not sure you can put a number to the amount of people he has helped through one media or another. As I believe Jon said, if there is only one training class you could take MAG40 should be it. Another great blessing to Nighthawk Custom Training is the photographer Kim. I never considered how difficult it would be to take pictures while you are trying to learn. Kim does an awesome job with the camera. She seems to have a natural eye for making some wonderful shots better than I could ever hope to take. Kim's work with the lens is a great way to document the training memories. Oh, she also has great eye for cool vehicles too. In conclusion, the entire experience is a wonderful way to spend four or five days with some very good people. They offer training that truly makes you a better shooter. All the best, Jim Maloy

After we selected the additional rail and flashlight, we completed the paperwork. We looked at everything we the gun, and my husband asked where the additional 25 mag. was. The manager said, "Oh, that's a typo on the card attached to the gun." My husband, "Well, that's your fault. Are you going to go ahead and honor your ad." Clerk, "No." My husband picked up his credit card and said, "Then we won't be buying the gun." We walked away. We were willing to pay Bass Pro's premium price on this gun, because we have bought other guns here and often shop here for other things. We like to support local businesses. But this situation comes down to principle. This clerks and manager were not willing to honor the store's advertisement. They would rather lose an $800 sale for the cost of a 25 mag. cartridge. Unbelievable. We will NEVER shop at Bass Pro again!!
