Location details and information
Triple A Coach specializes in NRA Marksmanship Qualification Program (MQP) training for youth and young adults at Pikes Peak Gun Club in Colorado Springs. The program is structured around a clear skill ladder—Pro-Marksman through Distinguished Expert—across multiple shooting disciplines.
Training starts with a free intro call to match your goals (Scouts, JROTC, 4-H clubs, school teams, or individual shooters), choose a discipline, and set your starting target. Then comes instructor-led coaching covering technique, dry-fire practice, and live-fire sessions following NRA MQP standards. Qualification days involve running official courses of fire, scoring, and preparing award recognition paperwork.
