What will I learn at a Defense shotgun course

[Magilacutty]

New so please excuse me if its in wrong section. My question is to people who took a shotgun defence class.

What did you learn in the first or beginner course?

I have 8 years of shotgun experience while hunting and shooting trap and sporting clays.

[SuperSet]

I train with Rob at Valour Resource Group so I'm only going off memory...

Equipment setup
Shotgun patterning
Shotgun vs handgun vs carbine
Slug zeroing and distance shooting
Recoil mitigation
Reloading (combat reload, loading from caddies, under vs over, slug switchover techniques)
Transitions to handgun
Shooting positions, Shooting on the move

See if you can borrow a copy of the Magpul shotgun video from someone.

Even better! It's no substitute for actually going through a class, but it would show OP some of the typical curriculum.

They have some of the tactical carbine sets on sale also.

Thanks for all that, AAShooter!

I was just passing by and saw this. I've signed up for an upcoming one day "Tactical Defensive Shotgun" class with GrayOps in Sacramento. Looking forward to it for sure.

Thanks AAshooter

Superset---- can you describe what is Recoil Mitigation for me...is it stance and and how to hold a shotgun. Does it go into gun fit?

Thanks for the replies

You are welcome. Not sure what Superset was referring to but usually it has to do with shooting fundamentals (stance/body lean), gun type, ammo selection and gun fit. Part of the challenge is running the gun through recoil and ready for followup shots.

AAshooter.....from the list and vid, there is a lot there that I have done quite a few times bird hunting and range shooting ...do you think its worth the cost to learn a few new things?

I already feel like I can protect myself , god forbid. Not going to do PD or Military work. Whats you option?
