New National Shotgun Coach Mark Weeks brings 21 years of shotgun shooting experience to USA Shooting and has pursued modern coaching and training techniques for the past two years.

Twenty-nine year old Weeks was a resident athlete at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs from 1998 to 2000 and joined the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit (USAMU) in 2000, where he was stationed for eight years before taking on his new role as National Shotgun Coach for USA Shooting.

Weeks most recently finished in third place in men’s skeet at the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Shooting (Shotgun), narrowly missing a spot on the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team by just two targets.

Weeks attended Troy University and is married to Mary Elsass, a past member of the National Rifle Team.
