COURSE OVERVIEW – 8 Hour Training
The shotgun may be the most misunderstood small arm in the modern defensive arsenal. It is an excellent tool capable of superior precision at ranges exceeding 100 yards. Inside distances of 20 feet, where 91% of gunfights take place, the shotgun reigns supreme. Join us and learn!

FITNESS, MOBILITY, AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
Participants should be in good physical condition and capable of moderate physical activity. The ability to fire from the kneeling position (knee pads required) will be addressed. Participants should be able to move (walk) forward, backward, left and right with the shotgun in a shouldered position for short periods of time. Our curriculum involves repetitive drilling with the shotgun from a combat-ready firing position so reasonable upper body strength is required. You need not be an athlete to participate, but note that those who are significantly overweight, nicotine dependent, or in poor aerobic health will have difficulty mastering the concepts presented.
