Craftsmanship is the foundation.
Windage Weaponry is the Western Slope's full-service firearm and archery shop. Our mission is simple: exceptional products, expert service and a personalized experience for every shooter and archer who walks through our doors. We handle nearly all gunsmithing in house outside of refinishing and woodwork, and work with trusted specialists for the rest so it's still one drop-off.

Matt Bergstreser, Owner.
Aircraft mechanic since 2003. Gunsmith and custom rifle builder since 2017.
MY STORY
My passion for firearms started young. I grew up surrounded by my family's rifles: custom Mausers in 25-06, .22 Hornets and the .300 Win Mag my dad topped with what looked like the Hubble Telescope. Grandpa's collection of pump, semi-auto and bolt-action .22s was legendary, and a few of those rifles now sit in my own safe, ready to be passed down again someday.
I've worked as an aircraft mechanic since 2003, a career that taught me patience, precision and pride in my craftsmanship. In 2017 I turned my passion into a business. While sharpening my machining skills I found Trinidad State's Summer Gunsmithing Program, where I learned firsthand that gunsmithing demands precision and an eye for detail: parts must fit perfectly, run smoothly and look good.
That commitment to quality is our foundation. Explore the site and reach out with any questions. I look forward to working with you.
Connor Weeks, Instructor.
Firearms instructor and apprentice gunsmith. Born and raised in Gypsum, CO.
MY STORY
I was born and raised in Gypsum, CO and have spent my whole life hunting and exploring the state. I remember my first shooting range trip when I was three years old, where I started out with a .22 bolt action rifle. So, you could say my love for firearms started when I was very young. After that first range day, my dad helped me become stronger and smarter to the point where I could handle the same rifles and shotguns he was using. Now that I am bigger and wiser, I've gotten to extend my own expertise and knowledge with multiple firearms.
And as I grew, so did my collection. Some of these firearms include personal purchases, gifts and heirlooms passed down from family. I have learned how many firearms have a past, with deep personal stories and connections to previous owners. I have learned to cherish these stories and preserve them by caring for my own firearms and others' alike. As an apprentice under Matt, I have been able to grow my skills in preserving and repairing firearms so they may continue to serve their role as a self-defense tool, precision hunting rifle or heirloom piece.
