DEFENSIVE SHOTGUN OPERATOR

INTRODUCTION TO THE FIGHTING SHOTGUN  

Objective:    To enhance our students’ knowledge and proficiency with the tactical shotgun as a personal protection and home defense platform. This course will emphasize utilization of the shotgun in conjunction with the student’s primary sidearm in a two-gun package, in order to maximize defensive use-of-force options over a broad range of possible tactical scenarios. Students will gain confidence and proficiency by learning combat proven shooting techniques and manipulation skills. Our instructors draw upon their own experiences, and from historical examples, to prepare students to survive and prevail in lethal force encounters, through the effective implementation of the shotgun into their personal and home defense game plan.  

Instructors:    Active-duty/retired law enforcement officers/trainers with extensive teaching experience in civilian and L.E. communities. We guarantee low student/instructor ratios (four-to-one maximum) to enhance safety, quality of instruction and individual attention.    

Topics Covered Include: • Firearms Safety Rules—on and off the range • Safe/legal storage and transportation • Shotgun nomenclature, cycle of operation, basic manipulation, sighting systems • Operating system—pump action versus semi-automatic • Sling selection and techniques, fundamentals of shotgun marksmanship • Administrative loading and unloading, combat and standard reloads • Ammunition selection and shot patterns, determining maximum effective range • Transitioning to handgun (including review of presentation from holster) • Malfunction drills—immediate action drill (failures to feed, fire, extract, and eject) • Movement—turns to contact, negotiating terrain, shooting positions, shoot on the move • Tactical decision making—shoot/don’t shoot (with shotgun) based on targeting • Simulated combat scenarios
