Great experience at Altitude Defense! Knowledgeable and super friendly staff, great selection of firearms, gear and apparel! Cynthia let us demo the virtual range and even hooked us up w some swag! If you’re in the Pagosa Springs area, it’s a must! We’ll definitely be back. 💯

We walked in to just look around and ended up booking one of the coolest date nights we’ve ever done! Bailey was amazing at setting everything up and was a lot of fun to talk to and laugh with. Thank you so much for adding the cherry on top to our Pagosa trip! We’ll be back for sure!!

Date night on the simulator has been a blast, highly recommend!! Bailey does such a nice set up, and it really is a fun thing to do.

The AD team was also easy to work with acting as the FFL when I had an online purchase shipped to the store, and Jim was helpful in researching and securing a sight to fit that purchase. Always helpful, always friendly.

My parents (who are totally new to this) did a simulator / safety session with Chris and thought it was great. I don’t think there’s a more knowledgeable guy out there who is as good a teacher as him. They showed off what they learned the next day and I was impressed with their attention to safety!!

All around great store that can help if you want to learn, if you want to buy, and if you want to have some fun on the simulator! I am looking forward to doing women’s course with my neighbor at some point.

I highly recommend Altitude Defense. Cindy and her entire team are INCREDIBLE! These people can help you, regardless of your experience with firearms or your gender. I’m female with some prior experience with firearms years ago. I’m also ambidextrous. Going through the firearm safety/function refresher + the Milo simulated range training was exactly what I needed to figure out what I wanted in a firearm, making my purchase accessible and useful to me. Cindy gave me VERY helpful modifications on how to be able to actually manipulate pistols (it’s hard with small hands!) safely and comfortably, plus mods for switching between R and L shooting. Go visit them! They’ll take great care of you!

The simulation shooting was such a blast for our party! They had decorations and photo props ready for us along with waters. Everyone had a blast. Definitely recommend shopping here or doing a fun day out to use the simulation shooting!

I joined five other ladies for Altitude Defense's Women's Only Live Range Day with Instructor Chris. Chris and his co-instructor Brian worked well with the ladies individually and as a group. The variety of situations and targets was good. Safety was most important throughout the several hour class, and a good time was a very close second. Cindy, the owner of Altitude Defense, and co-worker Morgan participated in the shooting drills but also were very helpful and attentive to each of us ladies. It was fun. Even though I've been shooting for awhile, I learned very much that should improve my shooting skills in the future.

Thank you for offering this class. The cost, time and effort are definitely worth it.
