I live in Central Arkansas and I am wondering if there are any people close by that are into air gunning? Nobody I know is into this sport like I am. Would love to find some others to shoot with and hang out some weekend.
Arkansas Airgunning

Hi, I'm in Little Rock. I just got into air guns a few months ago. I shoot a lot of real guns in action type events mostly, but I'm loving air guns now too. I belong to a gun range west of town and I'd be glad to take you there sometime. Ernie Decker

I live about 10 miles south of Little Rock and do my range shooting near Benton. Private club (membership required but anyone can join) with 7 ranges for rifle, pistol, and shotgun with the longest to 600 yards currently. Most of my air gun shooting to 65 yards I do in the back yard, but sometimes I shoot them at the Benton range. I've never seen another air gun there but there has been mention of trying to start something air gun related at the Benton range. Not a lot of organized air gun shooting in this area that I'm aware of. There is a small farm somewhere near Brashears (23 at 16 east of Fayetteville) that has had a few events. There has been at least one organized event at Cherokee Village recently. There is the yearly (except for Covid) Malvern Air Gun Show. There is a small group in Siloam Springs but I believe it is high school organized. I would certainly try to attend a meet and greet somewhere and maybe something organized could arise from that.

I just went to the USPSA shoot at BGC today. That is my favorite sport, with steel challenge a close second.
I saw somewhere something about an air gun show in Malvern. I'd sure like to go to one.
It'd be neat if we could all get together sometime.

Thanks for the link to NASA. Located about 40 minutes east of Fayetteville as I recall. Certainly something for Arkansans to consider but it's a good 2 to maybe 3+ hours from "central" Arkansas. A solid 3 hours for me to the NASA area as I drove to Washington Regional in Fayetteville regularly for 5 years recently and it was a 3.5 hour drive. A very very nice 3.5 hour drive, but still quite a ways. Passed through the area where NASA shoot is held many times, if I'm recalling the location description correctly. Might well be much closer for some far eastern Okies
. Still, it is doable and certainly an option to consider. The Malvern show is usually about this time of year if I'm remembering correctly but I believe Covid nixed it this year. Still planned for next year, if possible, and it is a long running established show so it should happen.

I live just right outside of Cabot, approx 5 mi from Hwy 321/Bill Foster Memorial Hwy, off of Hwy 89. Back in the Sandhills area.

Ok guys. Just ordered an LCS Air Arms SK-19 in .25 Cal with the 580cc tank. I cannot wait for delivery. Terribly excited over this new purchase!

Are there any air gun clubs in North central Arkansas near Ash Flat area? New to air gunning would like to find some competition.

I have thought about joining the Bemton Gun Club, but I would want to participate in some of their matches, however my work schedule prevents that from happening. I can't justify the cost of return, at least with my current work situation.

I talked to Seth Rowland couple of weeks ago and he told me he might not have it this year due to not being able to get the vendors to commit to being there, but he had been having it in May each year.

@Bowhunter73 Thank you for that info. That sucks. I didn’t see anything about it for this year on their FB page, but was wondering about it.

@Bowhunter73 I have no idea. I haven’t seen anything about one this year, nor have I attended an airgun show.
