Tactical Shotgun (6-8 hours)

Our one day Shotgun Skills Clinic is designed to give an operator a good understanding of the 12 or 20-gauge shotgun and its versatility as a defensive weapon.  We will assist you building a fundamental skill set with the shotgun and being able to run a shotgun for home defense or in a tactical environment.  We will cover proper ammo selection for each operator’s unique circumstances.  We can give you options to select ammunition on fly and load from different types of ammunition the operator has at their disposal.  This is a fast paced course so please be prepared.  For any questions please feel free to contact any of our staff.  (MINIMUM ROUND COUNT – 125 bird shot, 50 00 buck, and 25 slug rounds)
