JUNE 25 and JUNE 26, 2011 - Tactical Shotgun

Want to take your knowledge and abilities to the next level with your shotgun? This two day course is not about bird hunting. It’s not about trap or skeet shooting. Tactical Shotgun is about the defensive and offensive use of the shotgun in realistic, rapidly evolving, use of deadly force scenarios.
 
Come join us for two days of training with the tactical shotgun covering the following topics;
• Quick and Effective Manipulation of the Shotgun
• Indoor Ready Position for Cornering and Slicing the Pie Techniques
• Eyes, Muzzle, Target position for Searching with the Shotgun
• Combat Loading Techniques Under Stress
• Ready Position and Low Ready Fighting Positions
• Proper Stance and “Toe in the Hole” mounting of the Shotgun
• Learn the Beauty of Bouncing Bullets
• Clearing Malfunctions during the Fight
• Shotgun to Handgun Transition Techniques
• Shoot, Move, Communicate. The ABC’s of Tactical Communication
• Fighting Multiple Threats
• Use of Specialty Loads and the Versatility of the Shotgun
• Weapon Retention Techniques
• Use of Cover and Concealment with the Shotgun
• Tactical Movement Forward, Rearward, and Laterally
 
Any Semi-Auto or Pump Shotgun (No single shot, bolt action, double barrel shotguns please) a handgun (with a holster and spare magazines) is required for this course as well for Shotgun to Handgun Transitions.
300 Rounds of Birdshot, 50 Rounds of Slug, 100 Rounds Handgun.
Note; If using a semi-auto shotgun you will need “high base shells” to insure the proper cycling of your shotgun. Some/most low base shells will not work reliably in semi auto shotguns. Insure your ammo works for your gun prior to attending the class.

• 250 rounds Birdshot
• 15 rounds 00 buck
• 25 rounds slug
• 100 rounds for your handgun

 
* NOTE; If using a semi-auto shotgun, you will need “high base” rounds. Most semi-auto guns will not cycle low base shells. We would recommend the “Low Recoil” loads offered by the major manufactures for the 00 buck and Slug rounds, as it just takes more of the felt recoil out of the equation. Birdshot need only be #8 dove loads for training.

Eye and Ear protection can be provided by Trident Firearms if you don not have your own. Eye protection MUST be full wrap around style.

A ball cap or similar type hat with a brim is REQUIRED.

Good footwear that offers ankle support is recommended. No open toe shoes, sandals, etc. Knee pads are always a good thing.

Long pants, no shorts, we recommend cargo style pants, Blackhawk, 5-11 type, or military BDU’s with the bellows pockets to hold additional rounds.

A pouch that will attach to your belt that can hold additional shells would be highly desirable if you don’t have cargo pocket style pants.
 
This is a two day class - 9a to 5p on both days
