Description
The objective of this course is to cover the topics most relevant to home defense and the use of the shotgun as a defensive tool in that context including:
The realities of home defense
Selection/configuration of the defensive shotgun
Proper ammunition selection
Reliable loading and operation of the shotgun
Shooting technique and recoil management
Patterning
By the end of the course students will demonstrate competence in the handling, loading, and rapid, accurate use of the shotgun at common home defense distances. At the end of the day students will shoot a shotgun qualification course.
Students will need 150 round of birdshot and 50 rounds of buckshot, 10 of which should be premium such as Federal Flight Control. (Plus all the usual stuff you’d take for a day on the range.)
Don’t have a shotgun? No problem! We have loaners available. If you would like us to provide ammunition as well give us at least a few weeks notice before class and we can provide ammunition for a reasonable rate as well! It’s often better to get the training so you can make an informed purchase decision about the shotgun and the ammunition you want to use in it for home defense.
(NO STEEL SHOT ALLOWED!)
