Defensive Shotgun
(5 - 7 hours / 50 rnds minimum)
Private Lesson: $260/individual, or $300 couple's rate
Group Rate (3-6 students): $220 per individual
This course focuses on the fundamentals of using a shotgun for home defense, with a mix of classroom academics and range drills. While there is a lot of mythology surrounding the shotgun as a magical 'point & shoot' weapon, there is still a requirement to apply the fundamentals as with any other firearm.
Quality of instruction is more important to me than high customer volume, so this class is limited to only 6 students at a time, depending upon range limitations.
