EXCELLENT INSTRUCTION -- I completed an initial gun safety course with Marcos, which far exceeded…read moremy expectations. The content was well-structured and I learned more than I anticipated! During live instruction, Marcos provided excellent feedback and suggestions that helped me improve immediately. That felt great as a newbie. His communication style is excellent, and he does a wonderful job of making everyone feel welcome, safe, and supported in their learning goals. Marcos is providing a much needed service to northern NM. He knows his stuff and is a pleasure to work with. I cannot recommend Marcos and Sanchez Tactical enough! I will certainly return for CCW and other courses offered.

Marcos was friendly and engaging the whole way through and took time with individuals that had questions or needed extra attention. The shooting portion was handled extremely safely and I certainly learned something immediately useful in the small amount of range time we had.

I spoke at length with Mr. Collins to try to get my daughter set up for a basic class. Since it…read morewas a gift for my daughter, I purchased some blank gift certificates, and met Mr. Collins to complete our transaction. This was his first time doing a gift certificate, which is why I purchased the blank certificates and gifted them to him. On the day my daughter was scheduled to meet with him, he contacted her to ask her if she was fully vaccinated. Because she was not, he cancelled the class and refunded my money. To say we were disappointed is an understatement. I recommend that Mr. Collins put a disclaimer on his website to at least let people know they must be fully vaccinated in order to train with him.

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

I had seen Merlinda's post on a community FB page that they had CCW classes coming up. Had actually…read moretalked to my husband about taking a class awhile back. So I FB messaged her about registering and she walked me through the sign ups. She even messaged me to confirm the number of people I wanted to register and when I would get location information. When I didn't respond to their email, she messaged me to let me know. Sure enough, the email had gone to my "junk" folder. The class was two days: day one in a classroom and day two at the range. Nice class size, and very interactive. Love how we take a class to carry a weapon but learn all the things we need to look at to avoid getting into a confrontation where taking that last resort is necessary. We were also assisted with filling out our CCW paperwork which made that a breeze. Steve is an excellent instructor and very professional. Out on the range he was super patient and helpful to anyone who was a novice or needed extra help. Made sure everyone understood the rules again and that everyone was safety-conscious. He got us all qualified and we didn't even realize that's what we were doing!! We also were able to buy ammo to shoot other handguns that were available. I would highly recommend taking a class through Sierra3Alpha if you are considering any firearms training.
