Shotgun Qualification

The standard 12-gauge shotgun is a remarkable tool in a self-defense situation. Few will argue against its psychological and terminal value. However, many lack the proficiency and comprehension of the shotgun’s proper use to effectively benefit from the full capability of the weapon. Sportsman shooting, such as clay pigeons and hunting, is vastly different from that of clearing a confined environment such as a home. S2 Instructors developed the Defensive Shotgun program to address the urban environment and provide proven streets and courtroom defensible skills.

This course is the same course used to certify police officers with a tactical shotgun. In this course you will learn about the flexibility, versatility, and applications of the defensive shotgun.

Topics include:

Administrative procedures for loading, unloading, chamber checking the weapon, various positions of fire, transport methods, shotgun patterns, sling/carry positions, deployment methods, transition from shotgun to handgun
