Defensive Shotgun
( 5 - 7 hours / 50 rnds minimum / 150 rnds optimal )

Private Lesson: $400/individual, or $480 couple's rate

​Private Group Rate (2-6 students): $350 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.

Course Outline

Plan to spend about 3 - 4 hours in the classroom, and about 2 - 3 hours on the range. 

In the Classroom we will focus on:
- Basic shotgun safety; Loading, Unloading, Clearing, and Safe Storage
- The Fundamentals of Marksmanship, and how they are modified during a defensive encounter
- Strategies to make your home less appealing to burglars, and how to zone target engagements within your specific home to prevent injury to family members
- Wounding Characteristics & Choke / Ammo Selection
-  A primer on Texas Laws and the Use of Force
- Dry fire, reloading drills, & malfunction drills using dummy rounds


And on the range we will focus on:
- Presentation Techniques & Recoil Control Specific to Shotguns
- Determining the pattern of your particular shotgun & defensive ammo combination
- Single and multiple target engagements
- Shotgun engagements using cover / concealment
