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.
