What is the
Marksmanship Qualification Program?

The NRA Marksmanship Qualification Program (MQP) is a self-paced skill development program with courses of fire suitable for everyone, from beginner to experienced shooter. Progression is self-paced and scores are challenging at some levels but attainable. Performance is measured against established par scores and participants who meet or exceed those scores are entitled to recognition awards (purchase may be necessary) for the rating(s) achieved.

Consider the MQP a fun and practical marksmanship drill that structures your shooting with set courses of fire. Challenge yourself to improve and maintain your skills!

How to Get Started with the MQP!

1. Choose your Qualification Program(s)

The following NRA MQP Qualiification Programs are currently administered at the Fairbanks Fish and Game Indoor Range. You can work on mutliple "Quals" or just focus on one at a time. Visit the range during Walk-in Public Use Hours and get started!

.22 RIFLE (RIMFIRE)
Bench/Prone, Standing, and 3-Position.
PISTOL
Revolver or Semi-Automatic, .22 up to .45-caliber, within range capabilities. No magnum ammunition.
BULLSEYE PISTOL
NRA Precision Pistol ("Bullseye") form of pistol shooting. 50-ft, off-hand (fired one handed), with Slow, Timed, and Rapid-Fire stages.

2. Start your Qualification Card(s)

Check in with a friendly range staff member during Walk-in Public Use Hours at the range to start the MQP or to begin with a new Qual.

3. Work on your Annual Qualification(s)

Follow the Qual Sheets (provided at the range) that explain the qualification course of fire and details. Ask a range staff member if you have questions. Start with the Pro-Marksman level and work your way up through the Expert level. Sign up with a range staff member to fire your Distinguished Expert ("DE") level when ready. We schedule "DE" Sessions in advance.
