In Tactical Shotgun 1.0, participants will learn:
-The abilities and limitations of the defensive shotgun
-Fundamentals of shooting and how to properly manage recoil
-Tactical and emergency reloading

-Shooting the defensive shotgun from cover

Note: This course is for those with a Massachusetts gun license who possess at least basic shotgun shooting skills and who practice proper gun safety. Also, this course requires physical activity, including periods of rapid movement and kneeling. Please be realistic about your abilities.
