Focused Firearms Coaching with Rachel Shroyer in Albuquerque: One-Hour Private Lessons

At Calibers' West location, 9320 Coors Blvd NW in Albuquerque, New Mexico, one hour with Rachel Shroyer compresses a season of progress into a focused session. This private firearms lesson is built around one-on-one coaching or a small group of friends, with instruction tailored to pistols, rifles, or shotguns. The range itself is an urban high-desert shooting facility with covered firing stalls, marked lanes and a classroom space where fundamentals are reviewed before stepping to the line. Rachel Shroyer brings an engineering-based approach to teaching that prioritizes safety, clear fundamentals and practical, repeatable drills. Her experience adapting techniques for shooters with injuries or limb differences informs every session; expect individualized solutions, whether you’re learning a new platform, getting comfortable with a recent purchase, or breaking habits that limit accuracy. Women’s-focused coaching is available in a professional, judgment-free atmosphere. Key features of the experience include personalized lesson plans, hands-on dry-fire and live-fire coaching, platform-specific drills, and a chance to try rental firearms from Calibers (ammunition purchased on site if you use rentals). On-range equipment typically includes paper and steel targets, chronographing when needed, and an indoor/outdoor classroom area for safety briefings and constructive debriefs. The setting is defined by Albuquerque’s high-desert light and wide skies; the arid landscape gives clear visibility for range work and a calm, dry climate most of the year that keeps sessions predictable. Physically the course is straightforward: standing, controlled movement between firing positions, and focused repetition rather than long hikes or heavy exertion. Practical details matter: closed-toe shoes are required for any time on the firing line, and instructors enforce safety standards including eye and ear protection and no low-cut shirts. If you plan to use Calibers rental guns, buy ammunition on site the day of class. Sessions are fully customizable—book one hour to target a specific skill, or string sessions together for measurable improvement. Why book this lesson? Rachel’s technical background and lived experience make her exceptional at translating mechanics into accessible steps, especially for shooters who need adaptive techniques or a more inclusive approach to training. For visitors in Albuquerque wanting efficient, safety-first instruction in a controlled, modern range environment, this one-hour private lesson delivers focused skill-building without fluff—exactly the kind of practical, precise training that turns intention into tangible progress. Sessions are scheduled by appointment; the booking link provides available time slots and lets you specify goals in advance. Lessons work well for absolute beginners learning firearm safety, experienced shooters dialing precision, families practicing safe habits, and people requiring adaptive solutions because of injury or disability. Expect clear, measurable feedback, follow-up drills you can take home, and an instructor who measures success by competence and confidence rather than bravado. Book early for weekends.
