Service Description
Combat Shotgun is a four-hour defensive fundamentals course designed to build safe, efficient, and confident shotgun handling for practical application. This course introduces students to proper shotgun operation in a defensive context, emphasizing control, consistency, and accountability. Whether you are new to defensive shotgun use or looking to refine core mechanics, this class establishes a strong foundation under professional supervision. Instruction begins with proper stance and grip to manage recoil effectively. Students will learn how to mount the shotgun correctly, acquire sights quickly, and maintain stability during follow-up shots. Recoil management techniques are reinforced throughout the course to promote accuracy and control. Weapon manipulation is a major focus area. Students will practice efficient loading techniques, including both tactical and emergency reloads, to keep the shotgun operational under pressure. Drills are structured to build familiarity with shell management and smooth handling. Application-focused exercises integrate stance, sight acquisition, recoil control, and reload techniques into realistic shooting evolutions. The goal is to develop repeatable mechanics that translate beyond the static range environment.
