Level 3: Advanced Defensive Shotgun

The combat shotgun is one of the easiest weapons to learn to shoot, but also one of the hardest to truly master. In Advanced Defensive Shotgun we will train the student in the following areas of tactical shotgun use: long range shotgunning, moving targets, multiple targets, multiple hits, low light, use of horizontal and vertical cover both strong side and weak side, moving and shooting and man-on-man competitions.

**There will be an updated round count for this class, please plan on bringing extra slugs and buck**

Prerequisite: Completion of the FAS Level 2: Defensive Shotgun or equivalent from another school.

Student will be required to present a state-issued license to carry a concealed handgun, military or police identification or other form of background check prior to participation.

Students who are slightly built may want to consider purchasing a PAST recoil pad, due to the amount of shooting we do in this course. 

TUITION: $525
$100 discount for retakes. Must register by phone to receive discount.
