About this Event
This is considered our “next steps” shotgun course, as you’ve had time to practice the skills covered in Defensive Shotgun Foundations/Essentials. This course requires the completion of Gunset’s Defensive Shotgun Foundations. (Other vetted shotgun courses may be approved as prerequisite)
The focus of this 8-hour, one day course is to allow students who’ve built a foundational proficiency in the operation of their shotgun to expand their ability to operate in a more dynamic context. This course will feature:
- Foundational skills review
- Multi-target engagements
- Sling utilization
- Negotiating angles/barriers
- Timed drills and student vs. student competitions
- Pattern confirmation
- Gunset Shotgun patch standards
Equipment requirements
- Reliable pump or semi-automatic shotgun
- Eye protection and hearing protection (electronic preferably)
- Clothing appropriate for weather conditions, sunscreen, brimmed hat
- Hydration, snacks, lunch (restaurants are available in the area)
- Appropriate tactical TWO POINT sling for all day wear. E.g., Blue Force Gear, Magpul etc. Padded will make you happy.
- Sidesaddle shotgun mounted shell carrier
- Preferred method to carry extra ammo on person. E.g., dump pouch, fanny pack, extra shell cards, etc. (NO SHELL CARRYING SLINGS)
- 140 rounds of birdshot (LEAD SHOT ONLY, cheap is fine if it cycles)
