People greatly underestimate what the shotgun is capable of, it is truly the thinking man's gun! IT IS NOT A SIMPLE “JUST POINT AND SHOOT” FIREARM.
Description
A 12 gauge slug is a .72 caliber projectile. With the right training you can make accurate hits with a slug up to 150 yards! 12 gauge 00 buck fires nine .30 cal pellets at once! That is nine 9mm rounds all at once! A shotgun that carries 6 shells of 00 Buck has 54 .30 cal projectiles. This is why the shotgun is commonly referred to as the force multiplier!
In Fighting Shotgun we start with building a solid foundation of grip, stance, and sight alignment while focusing on safety, speed and efficiency. We advance up to clearing weapon malfunctions, slug changeovers, and multiple shooting positions. As the day progresses we start pushing speed and accuracy with the introduction of dynamic movement, use of cover, shooting on the move and multiple threat engagement. This class includes multiple live fire scenarios.
If you are serious about learning how to protect yourself and the people you care about with a shotgun this is the class for you.
