Shotgun Training
$125 per person
The shotgun is the most misunderstood firearm in most homes. It does not aim itself, it does not clear a room by sound alone, and patterns matter more than people think. This class covers what it actually does.

What we cover
- Safe handling, loading and unloading
- How your shotgun actually patterns at real distances
- Recoil management that does not punish you
- Reloading under pressure
- Choosing ammunition for the job
Bring: your shotgun, eye and ear protection, and ammunition. Ask when you book if you need a rental or guidance on what to buy.
