Defensive Shotgun: Basic Operator

I﻿ always introduce myself as "Just a guy who writes about shotguns on the internet", but there is a little more to it than that. The most important part, I am constantly in a learning phase, and I take teaching very seriously. Classes I teach are a passion project, and every once of the best I can offer in the time the student gives me goes into a class. Whether it is entry level, or something further down the road. The goal is always to give the very best I can give. Whether that be in technique choices, or teaching methodology.

Nate Parker

Intended for those familiar with the defensive shotgun, this class will challenge skillsets and expand horizons of use.

Arkansas Gun Club

This class is intended to begin transitioning attendees from someone familiar with the shotgun, to someone who is a master of the shotgun. We will refine critical aspects of running the shotgun like recoil mitigation and ammunition management, and quickly apply pressure to those skills to test their resilience. There will be additional focus on moving with the gun, shooting on the move, and learning how to approach the gun for a wider set of defensive uses. Buckshot and slug selection will be covered in significant detail. Attendees will need to bring the following:<ul><li>An open mind. Be open to learning a new way, evaluate its usefulness in class, then assess if it needs to go with you beyond class. </li><li>A reliable 12 or 20 gauge shotgun. Strongly recommend use of a 12 gauge shotgun, but 20 gauge will be allowed. This class is not designed for box/detachable magazine shotguns. </li><li>150 rounds of birdshot. </li><li>50 rounds of buckshot. Generic buckshot will be okay for this class. </li><li>50 slugs. I recommend a lower recoil slug as long as it is reliable in your shotgun. Federal and Fiocchi both make good low recoil slugs. </li><li>Appropriate eye and ear protection. </li><li>A camp chair or similar. </li><li>Snacks, water, sports drinks, etc. </li><li>Bring a lunch. The range is several minutes from town, but there is a nice classroom where we can get indoors and enjoy lunch together. </li><li>Weather appropriate clothing.</li></ul>Range fee is included in the course cost.
