We strongly suggest taking the NRA First Step Shotgun Class or the NRA Basic Shotgun Class at some point. This will help you get the most from the Defensive Shotgun Program.
Things that you should bring to the class!
Preferred shotgun would be one with a stock with a shorter length of pull. Typical American stocks are 13 7/8. Defensive shotguns with length of pull of 12 inch work better. We will have loaners if need be. You will not need a sling on our shotgun. Feel free to take the sling off. YOU WILL NOT NEED YOUR HANDGUN. All you need is a belt with a drop bag. Drills are designed around you needing 10 rounds on the gun (or on you).Leave ALL ammo in the car when at the classroom, but do bring in your shotgun.
NOTE: Please bring the 00 Buckshot you normally shoot so we can pattern it though your barrel. If you are not accustomed to shooting Federal Flight Control 00 buck, I would recommend bringing 10 rounds of it for the qualification as it has the best accuracy at any distance.
