Requirements

The course is based on the pump action Remington 870 & Mossberg 500/590 12 gauge shotgun, but any shotgun capable of multiple shots will suffice. A butt cuff or side-saddle ammunition carrier is suggested as spare ammunition on the gun is very helpful. We prefer 12 gauge or 20 gauge shotguns only. We will have shotguns on site for students to use as well.  80 rds - Birdshot 20 rds - 00 Buckshot 20 rds - Rifled Slugs
