The Learning the Shotgun course combines the fundamental and basic skills necessary for combat marksmanship with the tactical knowledge required to survive with a shotgun in a hostile environment. This is the first level of Tactical Firearms Academy’s shotgun courses with emphasis placed on basic shooting skills and developing tactical applications for those skills.
Topics covered are:
• Safety- Administrative, range and operational carry
• 8 Fundamentals of Marksmanship
• Nomenclature
• Proper Loading Techniques
• Stance & Mount
• Patterning at 3, 7, 10, 15, 20 and 25 yards
• Target acquisition (single and multiple threats)
• Ready positions
• Transition to handgun
• Shooting on the move
• CSTC qualification (Criminal Justice Standard & Training Commission Shotgun qualifier)
This is a 9 hour block of instruction comprised primarily of live fire training on an outdoor range. Class size is kept small to permit individual instruction. A certificate of training is awarded to those students who complete and pass the course while exhibiting competence and safe gun handling skills.
