Fighting Shotgun

Take the fighting shotgun course that teaches you how to win! The shotgun is often the close-quarters defensive tool of choice, due to its high hit probability and impressive terminal ballistics. Our Fighting Shotgun course teaches you how to get the most out of your fighting smoothbore. Topics include selection of weapon and ammunition, patterning and zeroing considerations, practical shooting and firing positions, reloading under duress, tactical engagement of single and multiple threats, weapon retention, switch to slug, and firing on the move. Live fire drills cover battlesight zero, slug select procedures, fire and maneuver from field positions, low light firing, basic and advanced buckshot drills, and hostage rescue…yes we said hostage rescue with your shotgun! We will make you a surgeon with it!


NOTE: While Fighting Pistol is not a pre-requisite for this class it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.
