From their house, students have to drive to the firing range minimum 40 min with no traffic. Then have to drive minimum 20 min to wherever lunch will be then drive back to their house. For the amount they charge, the snacks are just nuts and the 99cents sparkling water cans from walmart Also the firing range fee is not included in the payment, so thats another fee on top of the gas. I wish i purchased from a different place nearer to a city center, where i dont have to plan a whole day drive. Sure theyre good people, but thats just too much money flying off the shelves for the same service you can get elsewhere

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!

The instruction and practical application they utilize not only helps build on your good habits, but also gives you the information and training to recognize bad habits and quickly identify what needs to change in your training regime (If you have ever wondered why you hit low and left, QPro can help you). They provide the tools/drills that can be used outside of the classroom to continue bettering yourself and become more proficient.

I must say that I love, and highly recommend Shockwave Defense!!! I now have my first child and my…read morehusband wanted me to take this class. I am thankful and sure glad I did because I must be able to protect myself and my family. I went in specifically for my concealed carry but much to my surprise I received more than that. By the end of the two days, I can honestly say I learned to be comfortable being uncomfortable. This class was not only informative it was so much fun!!! The way they teach is unlike anything I have ever experienced. Let's just say they don't beat around the bush or sugarcoat the world we live in. They incorporate realistic scenarios and trach ways to defend yourself against the many threats that arise. They are honest and realistic about such threats especially here in Albuquerque, where it seems to get worse by the day. Most important with the instability in the United States, I have been wanting to learn more about self-defense, and gun ownership. We all know our Second Amendment right however, SHOCKWAVE helped me view firearms ownership as a tremendous responsibility that goes beyond a right. I learned that my safety and the safety of others may very well depend upon this responsibility. You don't need to know how to fight or much about guns they cover it all and I wish it was a week-long because the day flew by which usually happens when you're having fun. Most important this class helped guide me in safely implementing firearms into my life which requires skills and if ultimately used to protect a life or my own, sound judgment. Preparation and skill development are the key; They take it seriously. The follow-up was even great and taught me to believe in myself and my capability in using a firearm to protect myself and those I love most.
