In Defensive Shotgun Skills we will explore the capabilities and the limitations of this incredibly powerful defensive tool so that you have the knowledge and skills to use a shotgun effectively as a defensive arm…or even decide whether or not a shotgun is the right weapon for your circumstances. Our instructors will teach you proven, practical manipulations and handling practices focused on the effective defensive use of the shotgun. In addition, our instructors will provide suggestions for practice beyond the class that will develop true proficiency for the Defensive Practitioner. If you wear a uniform or if you are just looking to defend your home and family, you will leave class with a solid understanding of the defensive shotgun and where it fits into your defensive strategy.

Equipment Requirements:

• a reliable pump-action or semi-automatic shotgun (legally owned short-barrel shotguns are allowed. Pistol-grip-only shotguns are not appropriate for this course),
• a practical method for carriage of extra ammunition (side saddles and butt cuffs are common),
• 178 rounds of bird shot, 50 rounds of buckshot (at least 10 good quality defensive buckshot shells), 10 slugs,
• some method of keeping at least 25 extra shells on your body (cargo pockets or a dump pouch are common)
• ballistically rated eye protection
• hearing protection (electronic ear pro highly recommended)
• and a brimmed cap.

Attendance Considerations: This is not designed as a student’s first firearms course and it is certainly not introductory level material.
