Close Quarters Shotgun
For students who have successfully completed our Advanced Defensive Shotgun and want to explore the use of the shotgun for urban conflict further, we offer this third level course. In it will concentrate on perfecting our close range skills, and spend a large amount of time moving and shooting, taking cover and shooting, shooting in low light and practicing dynamic search techniques, including decision making drills and shoot/no-shoot scenarios. Program also includes our challenging FAS Shotgun Master Test (detailed under Read More link below).
**We do not currently have this class on the schedule for 2022 or 2023. Please check back for future dates**
We have also moved the shotgun to handgun transition drills from Advanced Defensive Shotgun into this course and will expand this training. Pre-requisites are Advanced Defensive Shotgun and Defensive Handgun (no exceptions).
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.
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.
TUITION: $450
$100 discount for retakes. Must register by phone to receive discount.
