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.
