The skills handgun and rifle training don’t cover
Shotguns are powerful and effective for defense, but they require a specific set of skills not covered in handgun or rifle training. This full-day course builds on defensive shotgun fundamentals and prepares you to use a shotgun for self-defense and the protection of your family.
