What You'll Learn

The shotgun is one of the most effective and versatile weapons available to the average private citizen or police officer. It is also the least understood and most under-utilized weapon system. Learn how to properly select, modify, feed and operate the defensive shotgun for optimum effectiveness. This introductory course will demonstrate efficient techniques for handling and shooting the shotgun under stressful conditions.

Cancellation Policy: Students are required to cancel at least 7 days in advance of a class date in order to receive a full refund. Classes cancelled less than 7 days before the class will not be refunded.

What We'll Teach

Self-Defense Firearms Basics

This lesson will introduce you to a wealth of information on different types of self-defense firearms including handguns, home defense shotguns, and the AR-15 platform, where Michael Martin provides easy to understand explanations of the common terms used so frequently. The goal of this lesson is to de-mystify what can sometimes feel like a topic reserved for experts.

    "I HAVE BEEN WANTING TO TAKE THIS CLASS!!!! And as usual, the class did not disappoint! Learned so much!!! Got so much hands on practice and got some great range time, practical experience. OH MY GOSH! If you are thinking or even curious about shotguns, THIS IS THE CLASS TO TAKE. It was a great learning experience and it helped me pick out what type of shotgun to purchase. “PT” is such a great instructor and wealth of knowledge. I will be taking this class again, once I have made my shotgun purchase."
