These instructor-led Workshops take students through an in-depth study of a specific defensive shooting skill over the course of multiple drills. Examples include: decision-making/stress, movement, engaging multiple threats, close quarters engagement, and more. Understanding that training time and dollars are limited for most folks, we’ve found this approach to work for advanced-level training.

IMPORTANT PREREQUISITES:
Students must have a valid Massachusetts LTC (resident or non-resident). These are advanced-level classes. Students who have taken our Defensive Shotgun 2.0 class will be well prepared for these Workshops. Others are welcome, as long as they have taken several shotgun courses elsewhere (from a recognized academy/instructor).

Note: These Workshops require mental focus, fine motor skills, and physical activity (periods of rapid movement and kneeling). Please be realistic about your abilities.
