Defensive Shotgun

Shotguns are powerful and effective weapons for defense, yet require a specific set of skills not covered in handgun or rifle training. 
This full-day course will cover the skill set you need to load, store, unload, and run a shotgun for any defensive purpose. This class will prepare students to effectively use a shotgun for self-defense and the protection of their families.

For a Defensive Shotgun Course, you’ll need the following equipment:

Essential Gear:

✅ Shotgun – A 12 or 20-gauge pump-action or semi-auto shotgun (e.g., Remington 870, Mossberg 500, Benelli M4, Beretta 1301)
✅ Ammunition – 150-200 rounds of birdshot, 30 rounds of buckshot, and 20 rounds of slugs (Ammo for the class can be purchased from us.)
✅ Eye & Ear Protection – ANSI-rated shooting glasses and electronic or passive hearing protection (we do have extras if you need them)
✅ Dump Pouch or Shotshell Holder – To carry extra shells

Optional but Recommended Gear:

🔹 Shotgun Sling – A two-point sling is preferred for transitioning and retention (highly recommended)
🔹 Shell Carrier/Side Saddle – For quick reloads (stock-mounted, receiver-mounted, or belt options)
🔹 Appropriate footwear for outdoor walking, running, and movement – no sandals, flip flops, etc.
🔹 Hat & Long Sleeves – Helps with sun and debris protection

⚠️ Loaner shotguns with ammo are available for the class. Call 914-401-0440 for details.
