TS100: Tactical Shotgun 100

In the Tactical Shotgun Course, you will develop the marksmanship and manipulations skills that will make you the master of this potent arm. Your ability to make ammunition selection, continuity of fire, and malfunction clearances will keep you alive and in the fight long after others have faltered. Using the “crawl, walk, run” philosophy, students will learn and practice basic and intermediate tactical shotgun skills and shooting fundamentals both in the classroom and on the live-fire range.

This class is taught by NRA certified instructors with military, special operations or high-level law enforcement experience. By registering for this course, you agree to our Cancellation and Rescheduling Policy.
