Course Description:

Please note this is a 1 day variant of a 2 day class. Ammo requirements will be slightly less, but come prepared.

This course primarily focuses on the Push/Pull method of recoil control. Using Rob’s unique method of recoil management, the student will be able to reduce felt recoil by nearly 50% and be able to fire follow-up shots with a 12 gauge pump shotgun as fast as most shooters can fire their pistols. The student will also be introduced to the shotgun CQB technique, which effectively shortens the weapon by 33%, making it effective even in extremely tight quarters.
Other topics include: marksmanship fundamentals, patterning zones, ammunition selection, tactical manipulation, equipment selection, low light considerations, malfunction clearances, pistol transitions, pivots/turns, and shooting on the move.

Equipment requirements: 

• Reliable tube-fed duty-type shotgun

• Ammo carriage gear (Dump pouch, belt carriers, chest rig, etc, to allow you to bring at least 25 rounds to the line at a time)

• Service pistol and holster

• Eye and ear protection

• Shooting gloves

• Clothing suitable for range work

• Kneepads

• Packed lunch, Snacks and water

• Weapons lubricant and cleaning supplies

• 400 rds. birdshot (lead only, no steel shot)

• 30 rds. buckshot

• 25 rds. slug

• 50 rds. pistol

We also highly recommend having an individual trauma first aid kit and the training to use it!
