Defensive Shotgun 2 - Manipulations

Description

A half day defensive shotgun class focusing on practical applications of techniques, for shooters with training or experience at the Defensive Shotgun Essentials or Defensive Shotgun 1 - Fundaments level.

• Improve your ability to mitigate recoil using the Haught technique (push/pull or stretch)
• Improve your ability to efficiently manipulate and reload a defensive shotgun under light to moderate levels of pressure and stress\
• Provide you with efficient drills and practice routines to build and maintain proficiency

Topics Covered

• Safety (due to devastating short range effects of a shotgun, there are shotgun-specific considerations)
• Use of modern recoil mitigation techniques (push/pull, or "stretching")
• Reliable loading and reloading techniques that work under stress from gun-mounted ammunition carriers 
• Efficient drills and practice routines to build and maintain proficiency

Types

Intermediate, In Home Defense Training, Shotgun

Documentation Requirements

If you have previously taken a shotgun class with KR Training, please provide the class name and date taken. If you are taking this course on the same day as the fundamentals class, we will approve without further documentation.

Requirements

Required equipment:

• A pump action or semi-automatic 12 or 20 gauge shotgun (12 gauge strongly preferred due to availability of suitable defensive ammunition) WITH a side saddle or butt cuff ammunition carrier attached,  The course is designed specifically for these types of shotguns; if you have something exotic like a bullpup shotgun or box magazine 3-gun style shotgun, many of the drills are not going to be suited for your gun, and you won’t get as much out of the class.
• Eye and ear protection (amplified hearing protection strongly encouraged)
• At least 155 rounds of birdshot
• At least 5 rounds of buckshot
• A bag or case used to transport your shotgun to and from your vehicle, the firing line, and the safe area

Optional equipment:

• Amplified hearing protection (we have loaner hearing protection, if needed)
• Towel to cover your shotgun when it is resting on a table or barrel at the firing line, to keep it from becoming scorching hot in the sun
• See the general policies page for suggestions on food, drink, clothing, etc.

Note: This is not a class where you will utilize quad loaders, plate carriers, chest rigs, etc. It is extremely unlikely that you are going to be wearing John Wick shotgun ammunition carriers on your body when someone kicks down your door.  You will have to fight with the ammunition in and on your shotgun, and we will run shotguns in this class accordingly.
