I just took the 2-year concealed carry renewal class at Calibers Westside with Andy Anderson, and…read moreit was hands-down the best class I've ever had. I have held my permit for over 20 years, so I have taken plenty of these courses. Andy made this a perfect experience by sharing his own background and personal experiences to make the lessons hit home. It was far better than any other class I've taken in over two decades. Hats off to Andy for an excellent class! I highly recommend Calibers Westside.

My plethora of questions were promptly answered by a knowledgeable staff member and I am excited to take a course in the coming weeks with instructor Rachel! They offer a huge selection of firearms and ammo and have range memberships which we are thrilled about! One stop shop for everything you need, conveniently located at the bottom of Coors and Irving and an overall great atmosphere! They offer really good specials... If I remember correctly, Monday is half price for the range and Thursdays is ladies night. Gotta check them out!

After having to reschedule a couple of times due to conflicting schedules, I attended the concealed carry class. The class was well structured and super informative.

The staff is well equipped to assist everyone from first time shooters to military and law enforcement professionals. I will definitely refer all of my friends and family to Ed and his staff for all of our future firearm safety training needs. Thanks FAST!!!!

I wish i purchased from a different place nearer to a city center, where i dont have to plan a whole day drive.

While not posh there are a variety of ranges from youth indoor air rifle, bench rest small bore, tactical rifle, f class/national match and a variety of pistol pits. The shotgun and trap ranges are also well set up. Certain parts of the range are only available for club events such as the trap and tactical ranges. There's also a 100 yard tube with a target trap on one end and a ventilated shed and rest on the other. The tube is the only part available for use 24/7 with the exception of Wednesday morning. Very handy for pre hunt sight in. New members must complete and pass a range safety course as part of the sign up process. The course is designed to make sure all members know what's expected of them to use the range safely. The material in the course was easy to complete and understand. It's not perfect but pretty close to it. You can be fairly anonymous or as involved as you want with all of the groups and clubs. It can get crowded on weekend mornings with various ranges closed to club events but the afternoons usually open up. The club has a very easy to interpret calendar which usually makes use of the range for individual purposes simple. Some of the long time members can be a little salty at times bending rules claiming that they always have special permission. It did not happen that often but when actions were mentioned to the appropriate parties nothing ever came of it because the repeat offenders were influential in the club. Everywhere has its politics, special people, and 1%. I have since found more joy exploring the millions of acres of BLM and state trust land in our state. If you check with the agencies who manage the lands there are actually many places not too far away where one can shoot for free.
