I needed a recertification class for my conceal carry. Instructor was very straightforward with his class. Didn't waste our time with stories. Facts, laws, informative information that fits the world we live in. Best price/value for your buck for the recertification. Building was very well organized. Shooting range has to be the best in Albuquerque . They even have weapons you can rent to qualify or decide on a future weapon to buy. Range was very safe & well set up. read more

Calibers now adds a 3% credit card fee on gun purchases, which wasn't charged before -- something to keep in mind when price shopping. They also stopped with the free range pass/discount card when purchasing a firearm. At this point, places like Cabela's are usually cheaper/better and don't add extra fees. I was a longtime Calibers member and really appreciated their range and membership program. They once offered great perks -- like unlimited free gun rentals . During the COVID years, I kept my membership even though ammo was scarce and the rental benefit couldn't really be used, just to support the business. Unfortunately, when ammo prices and supply improved, Calibers dropped those key benefits and introduced new memberships with much less value. I chose not to convert to the new membership program since it no longer offered the same perks. The range itself is still nice, but I wish there were more local options. Overall, it feels like the focus has shifted away from customer loyalty and value. I really hope they bring back what made Calibers stand out in the first place. read more

I went in on Monday (3-24-2025) a slow day for sure with several workers at the counter and no other customers in site. I wanted to rent a lane for handgun shooting. The clerk handed me a pad for sign-up and then just took off. The pad went dead and all of the available do nothing employees just ignored me for several minutes. I have to clearly state that I got the message and will never be back. I walked out and nobody seems to care. Please Calibers management: do not say your are sorry with some lame excuse, I do not buy it. Way to many other low score reviews. The other ranges do want my bussiness so please consider your business to be doomed. Smart people have other choices. read more

Nate is the man hooked it up ! For sure returner to this establishment well taken care of

The selection and prices are reasonable. David is the employee who helped me out and he was patient, kind, and informative. I felt comfortable with his guidance. I had to give a positive review based off my experience. read more

I've been going to Calibers 5 or 6 times a year since they opened. I'll keep this short. The place has gone steadily downhill. The shooting lanes need to be updated. Target trolley keypads are hit and miss. They seldom have the targets I want and some of the employees could use some education in people skills. I really appreciate an indoor range especially in the winter and summer months, but lately the Calibers experience makes the long drive to the city range not so bad. Hope they can turn it around. read more

I took a introduction course into handguns here with Craig. I was pretty nervous because I've only shot a gun twice. But Craig was very clear, patient, and made things feel a little less scary. I'll definitely be back. There's a lot to learn. read more

Zach runs the show over there and has amazing customer service. It trickles down so all his guys are also top notch. William. All good people. read more

Was visiting Albuquerque; usually stop with my brother-in-law to go shooting at Calibers while wives, etc. shop. This time, my 29-year old daughter decided she wanted to come shooting with us. One problem -- she's never shot before. We went in and were greeted by Elijah Ellis. He could not have been more helpful, professional, understanding, friendly, in helping my daughter through her first shooting experience. She enjoyed it so much, she is signing up for classes in our home town. Thank you, Calibers; thank you, Elijah Ellis. read more

What a great "date night" the date night package is perfect for the first time shooters. Not me, obviously! Just enough ammo to teach the basics of control, handling and safety. Sam was very helpful and engaging making this experience 5 stars! The $40 gift card to a few local restaurants is the icing on the cake!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED read more

You guys have got to address the attitudes. Watching the members arrive for the shoot today was unpleasant. Watch the CCTV, it's written on everyone's faces. Perhaps do the undercover boss thing, it will be very obvious. There are a few employees that need recognition and reward: the young lady that works the gun counter, dresses professional, great attitude, works hard and never negative, I can't compliment her professionalism enough. She's always there. The older gentleman with glasses, short well kept gray hair, with the best attitude, comes on the range, offers encouragement to shooters, very customer service oriented, such a great example of what your CS could be. Younger guy working the front today with glasses, he's doing well, he's polite and attentive. Ryan, the employees that are dragging Caliber East down in these comments with poor attitudes and zero CS proficiency need to be checked, they're pushing walk-ins, members, merch and gun sales away. Your membership is really wondering if it's worth it anymore... read more

We had an absolute blast here. Two friends and I each got the last package, the Atomic Boom or something, and had as good a time as you can. The workers were all fantastic, super knowledgeable and a pleasure. Shooting the 50 caliber was a thrill, but the machine guns were even more awesome. My favorite was the AK-47 but you couldn't go wrong with any of them. High marks all around. read more

No open carry in store (except for LE). I understand that you need to have rules in place for handling firearms for your staff's safety. I feel like you can do that without negatively impacting the personal protection of anyone choosing to enter your store. Open carry is not an inherently unsafe activity. I will not support a gun store that does not support my second amendment right. read more

Just completed the 15 hour CCW course with instructor Gary Antal. Great instructor with great information. I highly recommend this training for any individual wanting a CCW license. Gary is very knowledgeable and experienced in all aspects of gun handling. read more

I absolutely must tell everyone what Calibers did for me regardingmy less than steller purchase. I was contacted by Stephanie S. Business manager and she advised me to contact Craig Strumpf Director of sales. He asked me to come in so we could talk. He offered me my ENTIRE refund via gift card (store credit) even though I shot the gun at the range a few times. I was able to get the firearm that best suited me because of this. I was not expecting that kind of customer service, amazing in this day and age. Plus his staff took the time to educate me even further on different options. Seemless experience thank you so much staff. I have to wait 7 days to pick up my new firearm and I'll defenseless for that period but that's a govener thing not a Calibers thing. Again thank you everyone! read more

All I can say is wow it's a rush something about having a gun in your hand and having control using it the right way it's it's a great time. I hit the bull's-eye right away. The guy help me I haven't went shooting in many years. I listen to what he said and sure enough I got bull's-eye I would recommend this company. I'm new to the area. Some of my friends recommended it. We all went had no plans spur the moment and enjoyed ourselves. Great customer service any questions we had a Answered and if they didn't know what they found the answer so yes come and join and have some fun. I would definitely recommend this company and I will be. Coming back thanks to all the staff. You were great. read more

This is one of those fan boy reviews... I am stunned by how cool this place is. I went to the range and rental to try a pistol I am considering purchasing. They were very helpful. And made the experience very cool. Talked to the staff for quite a while and they a are all top notch people. I HIGHLY recommend the South East location. I assume the same for the North West location but didn't go there. Do yourself a favor: stop by and give their range a spin! read more

Thank you calibers for treating my 12-year old son like a future responsible gun owner and not a little kid with a firearm. Everyone at the Cutler Calibers answers questions without condescension or 'mansplaining"- a true gift for this mother who is at the bottom of the learning curve. We will be seeing you again soon and often as new platinum members! read more

3/22/2023 Left my vintage "Baby" Browning my husband gave me in 1966 to be cleaned last week....I called today and they said it was ready but that a piece was broken off....said it was wood...I went straight there because there was no wood on my Browning Baby, and it definitely was not broken when I left it?...short story...they broke the left gun grip, and had the broken piece just lying in the zipped case.....no offer to step up and replace it..no acknowledgement that they broke it by Adam.....who offered to order me one for twice the vintage parts catalog cost.....and then charged me 53.dollars ....they are not a very honorable business if they can break your gun and then offer to charge you double to replace the broken piece they broke, and never talk about how it happened...Adam said,"it is old".. Yes, I carefully explained its' age and 30 years of non use...when I left it there ......but cared for carefully....I just paid and left....expensive lesson.....I would suggest a more trustworthy business for your future repairs...... I WISH TO ADD TO THIS REVIEW TODAY.... I gave them a one Star review on 3/22(see above)..... and thought that was it.....then recently I was contacted by the Senior Store Manager of Calibers, Robert Pohl, saying that that he wanted to fix this situation...and that his Head Gunsmith , Jandoshua Rector, would be contacting me.... and he did...and he asked me to bring my Baby Browning in and they would replace the broken grip with the appropriate grips, clean it again, repair it, test fire it, at no cost to me...So a surprised me took it in, met Joshua and left the pistol.......and I picked it up this morning... and it looked wonderful...as good as it looked in 1966 when my husband bought it for me at Andy Andersons in Oklahoma City.... I am thrilled and grateful and wished to add my current review as of today....five stars to Robert Pohl, Joshua Rector, and Calibers....they are competent and honorable people ... and my advice is just to deal with the top folks if you want something done right....and stand up for yourself...and they replaced both grips, so that they would match. Thank you, Gentlemen. Read less read more

No 380 range ammo but they have defensive rounds. Take it or leave it ,at least that's the impression that they gave us. Been there before. Rented weapons and range time. First time with our own pistol , we took a CCP class elsewhere. We will never go back. If it could have been less with a membership, no one could have been bothered. Very surprised to be treated so cavalierly. I realize ammunition is not easy to get right now but..... it is or was a major aspect of their business, since you can't bring your own. read more

I recently took 2 classes with Calibers. One was with Stephanie and the other was with Gary. I had a great experience in both classes. Gary and Stephanie are extremely knowledgeable and taught the class with ease. I would highly recommend both instructors if your wanting to learn more about what they offer. read more

I've had calibers back and have taken their classes, I even bought a class while they were closed because I support 2A and small biz. Went in to buy today, disappointed in their service and attitude. I'll be buying somewhere else. I don't recommenced this place if you plan on asking questions. Respect is a two way street, I was looking for help and you treated me like someone who just came in to use your restroom and bounce. You can buy a gun anywhere, and prices are great online esp for accs. Customer service is the differentiator, and you guys need to step up your game, I say this because I was working with "the boss" on duty. read more

After a 2 year hiatus from target practice I figured it was time for me to get my arse back to the range. I had never been to Calibers before and, up until now, had been content with gambling on whether the day would be sunny and warm enough to travel to the west side to the city range to practice my aim. I decided to take control of my schedule and venture to Calibers. Although it was a little pricey, $25 for one shooter and an additional $15 for a second, it was nice to be indoors in a climate controlled environment. The gentleman that assisted us with checking in was very friendly and was able to answer all of our questions. He didn't make me feel incompetent because I am a woman at a shooting range. If you don't own your own firearm but still desire to practice your shot they offer a large selection of guns to use/rent while you're there. You will need to purchase ammunition as well if you don't supply your own. Very nice establishment. Very friendly employees. read more

I was looking to shoot some subcompact machine guns today. I came in, filled out their waiver got to the counter and they did not have any of the weapons I wanted to shoot. I was looking to shoot an MP5, MP7, MAC10 and SCAR. The guy says we have an AK47 and an UZI. LAME... don't waste your time with this place. read more

I wanted to come stop by here since I was traveling from California. Our experience was great. Staff was extremely friendly, helpful, and informative. My girlfriend and I purchased the BOOM package that allowed us to fire 4 full auto weapons as well as the .50. Will definitely be back here if we find ourselves in Albuquerque again. read more

My husband I decided to go to Calibers. I've never even touched a gun in my life, so I figured I'd try a new hobby. The staff acted like we were a nuisance to them as soon as we got there tho. We told them we had never been, but they still weren't very helpful. I was hoping someone would give us info on classes they had available, or even give us some type of spiel about how the range works, or at least a little info on the rental units but nothing. My husband finally implied he wanted more info and the attendant just gave him a weird look and went over it in 2 min. but didn't even try to show me. The range was cool looking at least and the other customers were very helpful and nice. read more

Pretty sweet spot to blow up some rounds! And might I mention if you have never shot a 50 caliber round before and have always dreamed of doing so without having to buy the actual rifle, this is the place to go to be able to just rent and shoot one! It was my husband's birthday weekend and he wanted to add to his man card by shooting this heavy loaded arsenal. I believe the only thing we had to pay was for each round to shoot which was 10$ each. I think he wanted to shoot 5 of them. He wanted me to try it too but after watching his first round shot with the whole damn building feeling like an earthquake, I passed up on it for now. I'm only 5 feet tall and didn't wanna risk my little shoulder to be injured for now. The place was set nicely set up with their counter in the middle to better assist anyone throughout the store. The guns and rifles on display were well organized and had an excellent variety, especially for all the weapons you can rent out to shoot at their indoor range. Super friendly and helpful staff too which is always a plus. Will definitely be back to try out more guns or rifles! read more

There are many reasons to love this place: 1. GUNS. AMERICA. FREEDOM. 2. I don't own a gun. I don't shoot regularly. I can't name every variation of a handgun. What I can tell you is that is no excuse not to become familiar with guns. When I walked in to Calibers, I knew it would take a few rounds before I was anywhere near comfortable firing a weapon. 3. I was honest with the man at the counter - I hadn't shot in years. He asked me what I wanted to shoot, and I just said "a handgun." He smirked and showed me around the display cases. Once I selected the gun I wanted to shoot, he took me step by step through the operation of the gun. From unloading the magazine to proper hand position to looking through the sights, he covered all the bases. There was no pressure, I never once felt like I was being rushed or judged. They wanted me to be safe, be comfortable, and enjoy the experience. 4. There's something invigorating about firing a gun. The adrenaline, the power, the velocity; it excites so many senses. With "guns" streaming in news headlines, I wanted to become more comfortable with them, but in a safe and non-threatening way, and that was and is easily achievable at Calibers. I highly recommend trying it out! read more

Calibers National Shooters Sports Center - Not bad for a newbie! - Guns & Ammo Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

So my first time at Calibers was for a Ladies Night Yelp event. I thought it would be a cool place to go to see what it's about. I've never shot a handgun before so this was also a chance to be totally comfortable my first time. The event me and my mom were a part of was very interesting and informative. The instructors gave us some self defense tips and also have us a small self defense device. When the class part was over we were taken to the range and set up with instructors for some 1 on 1 shooting. We were shown the proper way to hold and fire a handgun. I have never enjoyed something so much. Not only am I beginning the learning process on using a handgun safely but I also got some frustration out. We were given 9mm guns to shoot and it was comfortable in my hand, although my thumb apparently wanted to be beat up because it kept trying to get in the way of the recoil. But once it got with the program we were all good. I was surprise at the amount of recoil force the gun had but I managed to not shoot the ceiling and got all my rounds into the papaer target. Which I thought I would be worse than I actually did. I managed to kill the paper and save myself from a paper attack lol. After we were done shooting we enjoyed some refreshment and some swag. Love my lip balm! Also along with this event we were invited to go next door to the Daily Grind. Before leaving I purchased mace for my keychain. So bonus there. I would certainly recommend going to Calibers to learn about guns if your a first time shooter or the hone your skills. The staff is very friendly and patient and enjoy what they do. So I will be going back to shoot more and to get my liscense. read more

Just went here for the first time. Great store and range! The people were super nice and very helpful. The range rules were spot on, totally reasonable. Range fees were also reasonable. I worry about getting shafted on ammo at ranges, but Calibers seems to be in line with other places in town. Only bummer is that they had no 10mm in stock. On the plus side, if you have always wanted to pre tent to be Rambo, and you have a couple hundred dollars to spend, then you can come here, rant one of several full-auto weapons, and blow off some serious ammo. You have to buy their ammo, of course, but that's no different than anywhere. In fact, you can try out a wide array of guns in case you are in the market or just want to try something different. Any, best of all, they have a Yelp offer where you basically get $20 off your fees! How cool is that?!? read more

I've been to shooting ranges in many states as my work keeps me traveling and staying in different parts of the country for extended periods. I usually don't travel with my weapons.

Last week I took the Concealed Carry Permit Course with Gary Antal as the Calibers instructor. Gary is professional, riveting and most importantly knowledgeable. Gary exposed the class to up to date facts, rules and the state of concealed carry in NM - very worthwhile. Plus, Calibers/West-side is just a great place to do this. I have also been a Calibers member three times over the past 20 years and am about to sign up again - convenient, great staff, well-kept facilities and offering any and every piece of equipment and/or service you could want at reasonable prices. Anyone who says otherwise about Calibers has not been around to and shot in facilities located in other states as I have. We are lucky here in New Mexico to have Calibers. I would give them six stars if possible. read more

Came in today to rent a firearm and get in some range time. Having never fired a fully automatic AK before they were super helpful in demonstrating function and form prior to and at the lane inside the range. It was a lot of fun and for a great price. Contrary to what some other reviews say I felt really well respected in there and the range officer who came out with me even took a video for me. I didn't catch your name but you know who you are if you're reading this. Anyway you told me to count the rounds on target when I got home and 45/90 on the green doesn't seem too bad for my first time; more than I thought i'd land at least. read more
