PRACTICAL SHOTGUN - LEVEL 1 (STAC1 - ADVANCING SKILLS)

STAC1 - Advancing Skills (Tactical Shotgun Level 1) is built for shooters who already understand the basics—and are ready to do more. Whether you’ve spent time on the range or used a shotgun in the field, STAC1 is your next step in becoming a more confident, capable, and tactical shotgun operator. In this class, we go beyond the fundamentals and focus on advancing your abilities through dynamic drills, real-world applications, and practical mindset development.

Expect more than just shooting—we're building the foundation for tactical proficiency.

At Treasure Valley Shooting Academy, we pride ourselves on being professional, approachable, and highly experienced instructors who tailor each session to meet you where you're at. You’ll train in a safe, supportive, and high-energy environment alongside people who are just like you—dedicated to learning, safety-conscious, and ready to grow.

This is a hands-on, skill-building course where you'll improve your weapon handling, target transitions, and develop the mental discipline required for tactical application. It’s the perfect bridge between basic familiarity and real-world tactical use—and it's a great time doing it.

*Rental equipment (firearm/ammunition/eye & ear protection) is available for an additional fee and with advanced notice.

**All firearms must be unloaded and in a case or holster upon arrival. All firearms will remain unloaded and on safe until specifically directed otherwise by, and under the guidance of, a TVSA Instructor.

There are no prerequisites to this course, however, all students must be able to perform basic level skills such as safety and weapon manipulation (i.e. TDKK, locking chamber open, loading, etc.). If students are not confident in their abilities with basic shotgun manipulation, we recommend contacting us to schedule a time to work with us on Shotgun Fundamentals. See more private training options at our business website, www.tvshootingacademy.com or schedule with a TVSA team member).

STAC1 is the prerequisite required to attend STAC2 (Introduction to Movement) and STAC3 (Fire Team Fundamentals).
