"The shotgun is the most versatile weapon in our arsenal. If you are a law enforcement officer, an avid 3-gun shooter or a civilian looking for the ultimate weapon you need to be very familiar with the semi-automatic shotgun."- Marshall K. Luton, Jr. (Owner/Operator)
In this one-day course you will be exposed to techniques currently in use by law enforcement and military personnel today. We’ll shoot from numerous positions and cover weapons transitions, shooting on the move and combat oriented courses of fire. After taking this course, students are astonished at how fast and accurate they are be able to operate their shotgun. From a law enforcement perspective, this class is a must! We cover target transitions, multiple target engagement and proper use of cover. By the end of this course, shooting on the move and reloading your shotgun will be second nature.
