Tactical Shotgun - Stage I

As with the Stage I Handgun, this course is designed to create
reflexive gunhandling, competent marksmanship and tactical thinking.
In addition it places strong emphasis on learning what the shotgun
will, and most particularly WILL NOT, do. The importance of patterning
the shotgun properly is discussed at length. The course also covers
ammunition selection, loading and unloading, reloading and ammunition
selection while involved in a shooting scenario, shooting from several
ready positions and various tactical body positions, dim-light and
flashlight shooting, shooting on the move, moving targets, multiple
targets and weapon retention. Transition to a pistol is covered for
those clients who have taken prior pistol training.


Ammunition requirement is 400 Birdshot, 50 Buckshot and 70 Slugs.
Fifty (50) rounds of Pistol ammunition is required if the client
wishes to participate in the Shotgun/Pistol transition portion of the
course.
