Central Arkansas Hawkeyes

Central Arkansas Hawkeyes is a youth precision shooting organization sponsored and hosted by S7 Tactical-Arkansas Gun Club in Conway. Rather than a retail operation, the Hawkeyes function as a competitive shooting team with multiple programs designed to teach marksmanship and life skills to young shooters.

• •Hawkeyes Precision BB Gun — introductory program for younger shooters
• •Hawkeyes Sporter Air Rifle — intermediate air rifle competition
• •Hawkeyes Precision Air Rifle & .22 — advanced rifle disciplines
• •Hawkeyes Youth IDPA (Pistol) — competitive pistol training
• •S7 4-H BBRPC Day Camp — seasonal educational programs
• •Magnificent S7 Shootout — competitive tournament events

Registration opens August 4th each year during National Shooting Sports Month and runs through August 16th. The organization accommodates Faulkner County 4-H members through their registration system. Returning members register first; new applicants can join the waitlist starting August 17th.

"It's a great program to get kids involved with the shooting sports. The program is run with an attitude of excellence." — Ryan Stephens, S7 President & Founder

The Hawkeyes focus on developing marksmanship alongside personal life skills. Programs provide:

• •Individual and team competitive opportunities
• •Achievement and awards recognition
• •Lasting relationships with shooters across Arkansas and nationally
• •Pathways for both hobby and competitive career development

The organization is award-winning and regularly qualifies competitors for nationals. Parents consistently report the "family feel" and welcoming environment, regardless of experience level.
