The shotgun is a powerful defensive tool—but it demands clarity, control, and consequence-aware decision making. This course brings the principles of Interactive Decision Making to the shotgun platform, using scenarios based on documented real-world civilian defensive encounters.
What You'll Experience: Through photorealistic targets and turning target systems, you'll navigate rapidly evolving situations that mirror actual defensive shootings. There are no tricks or "gotcha" moments—every scenario is designed for maximum learning value. The turning targets add cognitive load and time pressure, forcing you to process visual information quickly while managing your stress response.
Students will face scenarios requiring them to:
Assess ambiguous threats (partially visible weapons, aggressive movements, multiple subjects)
Control emotional responses under duress
Make and execute shoot/no-shoot decisions
Clearly articulate what happened and why through structured debriefs
This is not a shooting class. It's a thinking class under stress—with a tool that leaves no room for error. You'll leave with a deeper understanding of your capabilities and a clear roadmap for what needs refinement.
Pre-requisite: Students must have completed a vetted defensive shotgun course.
