EQUIPMENt NEEDED// PLEASE READ//
-A reliable (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.
-250 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
- IF you have questions or concerns about your equipment, please email us back as soon as possible.
