ZeroPoint Shotgun 1 is designed to be the ideal starting point for a new student to discover just how capable they can become with a weapon that has proven to be a true fight-stopper for centuries. Often miscategorized as a crude “beginner’s” tool that requires nothing but hope and a prayer for aiming, shotguns can be incredibly powerful, versatile, and accurate when yielded by a learned hand.
A majority of this 1-day course will focus on 2 core competencies of running a shotgun for defensive purposes, determining the performance and “pattern” of your particular shotgun, and keeping the shotgun running through diligent and expeditious reloading.
NOTE: Please bring enough ammunition to complete the class AND fight with any of your guns when you leave. DO NOT expend all of your ammo. We recommend Ammo Supply Warehouse for all ammo replenishments. Use code BULLETN11 for $11 off any order over $100
