Equipment Needed

  • A reliable shotgun (12-gauge recommended, 20-gauge versions permissible)

  • This course focus will be on rapid sighted fire against multiple targets. We find that a traditional full butt stock works best in that role and is what we recommend. Rifle type stocks with pistol grips are OK. Pistol gripped shotguns are a breaching tool, and do not constitute a good first choice as a serious defensive tool. Due to safety considerations during handling, pistol gripped only shotguns will not be allowed in this course

  • Side Saddle (not required but highly recommended). We recommend a VangComp Velcro attached.

  • 125 shot shells (light target loads recommended), 50 buckshot (multiple types recommended)

  • Ability to keep at least one box (25 shells) on your person. If you think you need kit for this course, please check out F3 Tactical

  • Not required – but recommended good tactical sling. Without a sling you will be required to ground your shotgun regularly

  • Eye protection, hearing protection (electronic recommended) and baseball cap

  • Knee pads (optional, but recommended)

  • Water for hydration

Services

  • Lunch is NOT included, please bring your own.

  • It's highly recommended to bring a chair.

  • This is an outdoor range, so the only restrooms are Port-A-Johns
