Defensive Shotgun Class (2 DAYS)

Note: To attend this class, at a minimum, students must know and should be able to follow at all times the 4 Cardinal Rules of Firearms safety - Students must have safe weapons handling & Correct equipment.

Description

This is two-day, 16-hour intensive course that expands Green Ops’ proven defensive-shotgun curriculum into a deeper, more tactical program. Students learn to employ pump and semi-auto shotguns for real-world self-defense at close and extended ranges — including the use of slugs at distance — while practicing movement, positional shooting, and use of cover. This course teaches the fundamentals of shooting a defensive shotgun, mounting, shooting and loading but quickly progresses into movement drills, timed tests and qualifications as well as positional shooting so you leave confident, competent, and safer with your shotgun.

Equipment Needed // PLEASE READ//

  • A reliable shotgun (12-gauge recommended, 20-gauge versions permissible)

  • This course focus will be on rapid sighted fire against multiple targets. We find that a traditional full butt stock works best in that role and is what we recommend. Rifle type stocks with pistol grips are OK. Pistol gripped shotguns are a breaching tool, and do not constitute a good first choice as a serious defensive tool. Due to safety considerations during handling, pistol gripped only shotguns will not be allowed in this course

  • Side Saddle (not required but highly recommended). We recommend a VangComp Velcro attached.

  • 500 shot shells (light target loads recommended), 50 buckshot (multiple types recommended) & 50 slugs

  • Ability to keep at least one box (25 shells) on your person. Any pouch, fanny pack, or just any way to hold ammo. Dump pouches work great too.

  • Not required but highly recommended: a good quality tactical sling. Without a sling you will be required to ground your shotgun regularly

  • Eye protection, hearing protection (electronic recommended) and baseball cap

  • Knee pads (optional, but recommended)

  • Water for hydration

  • IF you have questions or concerns about your equipment, please email us back as soon as possible.

  • Lunch is NOT included, please bring your own.

  • It's highly recommended to bring a chair.
