One Hour with Michelle: Private Firearms Coaching in Albuquerque

Michelle's Private Lessons at Calibers sit on the east side of Albuquerque at 4340 Cutler Ave NE, Albuquerque, NM 87110, USA. In a compact one‑hour format, these private or small‑group sessions deliver focused firearms coaching tailored to your goals—pistol, rifle, or shotgun—whether you’re starting, testing gear, or refining technique. Michelle adapts each lesson to your pace, breaking down fundamentals like stance, sight alignment, trigger control, and safe range routines, then building toward practical drills that translate to real confidence. The range itself centers practical shooting fundamentals with lanes that accommodate multiple platforms and drills designed for progressive improvement. Key features include one‑on‑one instruction, the option to work with a newly purchased firearm, and guided try‑to‑buy sessions when you’re comparing models. Unique to this offering is the blend of individualized coaching and a range structure that supports both stationary marksmanship and movement drills, making it a versatile choice for recreational shooters and serious hobbyists alike. Calibers’ program stands out in Albuquerque because it bridges hobby shooting and structured training in an accessible urban location. Eastside access keeps travel simple for visitors staying in Albuquerque while offering proximity to outdoor training options in the Sandia foothills for follow‑up practice. For new shooters, the course emphasizes safety culture: closed‑toe shoes and modest clothing are required, and if you choose to use Calibers firearms, ammunition is purchased on site to maintain range safety and inventory control. Beyond technique, Michelle’s approach is practical and approachable. Expect explicit feedback, short drills you can replicate solo, and advice on equipment choices if you’re thinking of buying. Bring identification, ear and eye protection if you own them, and room to ask questions—this lesson values curiosity almost as much as accuracy. Whether you want a quick confidence boost before a hunting trip, a clear plan to improve speed and accuracy, or a private session with friends, this hour can move you forward. The location’s straightforward layout, experienced coaching, and emphasis on individualized progress make Michelle’s Private Lessons an efficient, high‑value option for anyone visiting Albuquerque who wants to learn safe, repeatable firearm skills without a long time commitment. After your lesson instructors provide a written summary of drills and baseline scores so you can track progress; ask Michelle for follow‑up exercises tailored to weaknesses. The facility accepts walk‑ins when space permits but booking in advance via the FareHarbor link is recommended to secure times. Rentals are available; ammunition must be purchased at Calibers if you rent a firearm. Alcohol and drugs are strictly prohibited. There is parking on site; coffee shops a short drive away in Albuquerque serve for post‑lesson debriefs. This one‑hour session is not a certification class but delivers measurable gains you can build on safely today.
