Tactical Shotgun Seminar


Focus:  All sworn or commissioned officers of any rank.

Length:  8-hours 

The shotgun is one of the most effective weapons in the police arsenal.  It is also one of the most misunderstood and feared weapons by officers.  We are told this seminar provides the clearest instruction officers have ever received on the function and tactical employment of the police shotgun—even very experienced shotgunners have commented on how much they learned about the use of the practical combat shotgun in this course.  The topics of this seminar cover the laws and articulation of deadly force per the Constitution and your state law, as well as fire discipline theory, retention of the shotgun, movement and fire, malfunction drills, and transitioning to the handgun.

This course offers basic-to-advanced training in the patrol shotgun.  This is not an academy-level course, but a comprehensive eight-hours of shooting and hitting under realistic conditions.  This course deals with the reality of the patrol officer who does not have unlimited ammunition and will generally be forced to transition to his or her handgun if the shotgun runs dry.  The patrol shotgun is generally employed in a close support capacity where distances are measured in steps, and often within 15 yards of the threat.  This means officer survival is measured in tenths of a second, and requires employment methods that support instantly hitting the suspect as soon as the threat is identified.  Additionally, tactical employment of the shotgun requires efficient and effective use of the barricade for protection while engaging the suspect and the ability to quickly, smoothly, and efficiently transition to your handgun in an emergency. 

We provide training to not only familiarize the officer with the shotgun, but to create an outstanding ability to put rounds on target in sudden-conflict situations, master the recoil, and to utilize the shotgun in the manner in which it is intended—to provide overwhelming deadly force capabilities in those situations where the metal meets the meat, and you must come out on top.

Tactical...Practical...Realistic!
