Defensive Shotgun Skills 101

Course Price: $145.00
Course Times: 8am to 6pm
Course Designer: RPD, LLC Staff Instructors

A shotgun for home defense can be an awesome tool. Knowing how to use it effectively is even better! The shotgun is one of the best 'multiple/variable projectile' systems there are.

Home defense and self defense with a firearm is a decision that should be made with a clear head and the desire to become as proficient as possible. Using a tool such as a shotgun requires proper training in order to be efficient and safe. We will teach you all of that and more!

As always, safety is the primary focus, but we will teach you easy to learn and replicate skills and techniques to be able to handle the shotgun under the stress of a Critical Incident.

NOTE: Please review the Required Equipment list below. If you do not have something on the list, contact us before the class. Arriving without the complete list of specified gear will mean that you will not be able to fully participate in the training.
