    Presented by Eric McElhaney*

    This 1-day class covers the basic defensive use of the shotgun. It begins with the basics, including proper zeroing of your carbine, fundamentals of marksmanship, safety, manipulations, reloads (tactical & speed), and malfunctions. Students will increase their proficiency in close to midrange firing, defensive engagement of targets, ballistics, the use of cover and move into more advanced drills. Primary focus is raising the accuracy level and tactical handling of the shotgun.
    This course reviews the fundamentals and then focuses on refining accuracy and multiple target engagements. Drills will emphasize weak shoulder, moving, awkward positions, prone firing, dim light techniques, and moving into more advance long-range engagements.
    Fights are won by solid fundamentals and this course will teach you those fundamentals. This course is great for anyone who wants to dramatically improve their shooting skill.

    Sounds like a fun course.
    Where is this outdoor class taking place? Parabellum is an indoor range correct?
    Description mentions drills transitioning from shotgun to pistol to carbine but pistol and carbine are not listed as required equipment for the class. Please clarify.
    Thanks

    This looks like a great course, and one I would benefit from taking; unfortunately, that date isn't going to work for me.

    is there any chance Parabellum could udpate their website, with current/correct course information? Due to the nature of my work/travel, I have to plan ahead as much as possible, to accommodate things like this course.

    We are working on that. We have a new website rolling out August 1 that we have control of rather than the one we had which was a sight controlled by our Point of Sale company.
