Defensive Shotgun

This course will give you a level of ability and comfort with your shotgun. You will be able to efficiently present your weapon from different positions and consistently make hits on your target at different distances. You'll also be able to perform a range of defensive techniques, such as malfunction clearances, reloads, handling multiple treats, and more.  You'll understand the different types of shotgun ammunition and how to use each based on the situation.

This can not be your first long course.
