Level 4: Close Quarters Shotgun

This class is for students who have successfully completed our Advanced Defensive Shotgun or have completed our entire rifle curriculum and want to explore the use of the shotgun at closer ranges or inside a structure. It will concentrate on perfecting our close range skills, movement, muzzle positions, and practicing search techniques including decision making drills, shoot/no-shoot scenarios, and low-light.

**No Dates Scheduled for 2024**

Prerequisite: Successful completion of both Advanced Defensive Shotgun and Defensive Handgun courses or having completed both Close Quarters Carbine and Defensive Shotgun (no exceptions).

Shotguns not designed to be fired from the shoulder (Pistol grip only or bird's head) are not recommended for this course but may be used as an alternative to their primary shotgun during some drills if the student is consistently demonstrating the appropriate level of competency to where the instructors are comfortable the student can maintain safety, muzzle awareness, and all hits on target during the exercise.

Students will be required to present a state-issued license to carry a concealed handgun, military or police identification or other form of background check prior to participation.

TUITION: $525 
$100 discount for retakes. Must register by phone to receive discount.
