Team Captain Mark Schreiber became a competitive shooter shortly after becoming a certified firearms instructor from the National Rifle Association. Continuing in his passion and “practicing what he preaches” to all individuals of whom he trains, “The only way to get better at anything is to simply go out and try it!”
Starting with the Glock Sport Shooting Foundation (GSSF), Mark since has sought additional challenges by competing in the US Practical Shooting Association (USPSA), and beginning in the Fall of 2023, he will begin to compete in Steel Challenge.
As TRFTA continues to grow, so does Mark’s passion to compete. In early 2023, Mark created the TRFTA Shooting Team, to encourage all instructors who train under the TRFTA banner the opportunity to be introduced to a “new” way to build their individual skills and abilities.

Theodore "Ted" Thompson who also serves as one of TRFTA's Associate Instructors began to shoot competitively after retiring from his 25+ year law enforcement career and joining TRFTA.
Overcoming all physical challenges with the loss of his leg, Ted continues to show his passion and drive to perform at peak levels by becoming what the shooting industry calls, an "adaptive shooter". Through this, he continues to show that no matter what cards are dealt in life, anyone can still overcome!
Ted shoots in the ShootSig events presented by SigSauer, recently joined the Glock Sports Shooting Foundation (GSSF), and in the Spring 2024 will begin to participate in Steel Challenge matches.

Chris Hamilton is one of the ONLY individuals affiliated with TRFTA that is NOT any sort of instructor.....YET! Chris is a federal police officer with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), which is apart of the Department of Defense (DoD). DLA has expressed interest sending him back to the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) to become a department firearms instructor.
Chris wanted to participate more in the shooting industry by the challenge of competing while maintaining his personal skills and development, bettering his abilities. In January 2024 began to compete in the Glock Sports Shooting Foundation (GSSF) matches and in the Spring of 2024 will begin USPSA matches.
We are extremely proud to bring Chris under the TRFTA Shooting Team banner and look forward to seeing his development and eventual transition into becoming an instructor.
