Symtac Consulting's Shotgun Skills with Rob Haught - Slidell, LA

Rob Haught/SYMTAC Consulting 2-Day Shotgun Skills Class - February 6-7, 2026 - Slidell, LA

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 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, pivots/turns, and shooting on the move.
