EXCELLENT Based on 68 reviews Posted on Mark WhiteTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dave (Triple A Coach) is an outstanding firearms instructor, and I recommend anyone use his services, regardless of experience. I've been an instructor/faculty member across military and academic institutes for over 25+ years; I have a keen discernment for quality instruction. I used a one-on-one personal session to become familiar with a new (to me) weapon system, and I walked away after a two-hour session with greater understanding and skillset than I had walking into it.Posted on Scott BurkeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I took my Colorado firearms training class via Triple A Coach LLC and Instructor Dave Williams. My experience was 5 Star. Dave has a ton of knowledge and his expertise on the live fire range was invaluable. Definitely left me with some takeaways for continuing my handgun knowledge and improving technique and accuracy through on going training. Would be perfectly comfortable sending any friend and or family Dave’s wayPosted on Anthony ManninaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am new to the sport and want to get into competition shooting but could not find an instructor until coming across triple A coaching. Dave is amazing and super fun to work with. We started with the basics and covered a variety of skills including grip, trigger press, target transitions, speed shooting, shooting on the move and reloads. Definitely improved significantly by the end of my 2 hour lesson and have plenty to work on until the next time. Highly recommendPosted on Katie StagnaroTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dave is an awesome instructor, made me feel comfortable, confident, and tailored instruction. Excited for future sessions!Posted on Alexandria AndersonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Training with Dave at Triple A Coach was an incredible experience! He truly knows how to teach and made everything easy to understand, whether it was improving my shooting skills or building confidence. Because of his guidance and patience, I was able to pass my concealed carry handgun permit. He’s knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely cares about helping his clients succeed. I saw real improvement in a short amount of time. My husband and I will definitely be continuing with private lessons moving forward. Highly recommend to anyone looking to become a better, safer shooter.Posted on Daryl SpanoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dave was really helpful and knowledgeable. He was able to work within my constraints and adapt to my changing timeline. Really appreciate the good communication.Posted on Matt DelucaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dave was an excellent instructor. I did a 2 hour private group lesson for handgun training, and after 2 hours I undoubtedly got my money's worth. I wanted to be careful with who I received instruction from. As some instructors can teach bad, outdated, or irrelevant techniques. Dave's military background gives him a unique combination of both gun skills and teaching skills that intertwines into a very productive training session. My fiancé is a new shooter and he did a great job of keeping a low stress environment to build her confidence. We both had drastic increases in accuracy by the end of the session. We will definitely be booking followup sessions in the future.Posted on Adrian ChavezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was a great training experience.Posted on Eric LTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Outstanding class. Dave is extremely proficient in conveying concepts and helping you put them into practice. I left the range and OBJECTIVELY better shooter than I was when I walked onto it. Having taken a number of other classes recently, he also stands out for being up-to-date on best practices and using all technologies available to serious shooters and instructors. Highly recommend.Posted on Christen FeltsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Being a women with very little experience, Dave with Triple A Coach was very patient, thorough, and non-judgemental during my one on one training which I scheduled the day before my CHP class. He put me at ease by explaining what we were doing and why, and I left way more comfortable and confident than when I arrived. Plus, it was a blast and we ended with some marksman challenges. Highly recommend Dave!
