Are you ready to advance your shotgun training and get the most out of running the home defense shotgun? This one-day class builds upon what students learned in Defensive Shotgun 1.0 by introducing new skills that amp up the intensity.

In this class, participants will:
-Review core fundamentals of defensive shotgunning
-Shoot from a mix of positions
-Engage multiple targets
-Shoot and reload on the move
-Work from cover to cover and more

Prerequisite: This course is for those with a MA gun license (FID or LTC) who have taken either Paladin’s Defensive Shotgun 1.0 class or a defensive shotgun class from a recognized trainer/academy.

Also, this course requires some physical activity, including periods of rapid movement. Please be realistic about your abilities.
