SUMMARY:Basic Defensive Shotgun 13SEP25
DESCRIPTION:In this specialty seminar let’s understand the unique tool that is the shotgun. Shotguns have a long history of defensive usage and they have significant advantages in some ways\, but significant disadvantages in others. Compare and contrast the the performance\, ease of use\, cost\, and complexity of semi automatic shotguns versus pump action shotguns\, 12 gauge versus 20 gauge shotguns\, 00 buckshot vs #1 buckshot\, vs #2\, 3\, and 4 buckshot. Consider the purpose and proper usage of slugs. Learn how various loads will pattern for your particular gun\, barrel length and choke. Gather tips on how to accessorize your weapon\, how to use it in low light conditions\, and how to introduce the idea of a shotgun for home defense to your spouse and family members.  \nThis class is part of the Combat Rifle School. We schedule small group instruction based upon the your request. This program consists of the following 49 unique five hour modules\, plus additional practical and field exercises. If you would like to participate in this training program\, call Brian at 408-892-5460 or email info@monarchdefense.org. \n\nCombat Rifle Theory\nBasic Combat Rifle\nShoot Move Communicate\nCombat Rifle Fundamentals\nCombat Rifle Optics\nClose Quarters Combat Rifle\nNight Combat Rifle\nAdvanced Combat Rifle\nTactical Precision Rifle Theory\nTactical Precision Rifle Fundamentals\nTactical Precision Rifle D.O.P.E.\nTactical Precision Rifle WIND\nTactical Precision Rifle Putting It All Together\nSelf Defense Theory\nBasic Defensive Shotgun\nBasic Defensive Handgun\nDefensive Handgun Fundamentals\nNight Defensive Handgun\nClose Quarters Defensive Handgun\nAdvanced Defensive Handgun\nHigh Intensity Gunfighting Drills\nClose Quarter Battle Theory\nBasic Close Quarter Battle\nAdvanced Close Quarter Battle \nForce On Force Close Quarter Battle\nThe American Rifle\nAmmunition Science \nAmmunition Data Collection\nAmmunition Production\nSpecial Purpose Rifle\nBasic Tactical Fieldcraft\nPrinciples of Reconnaissance\nLong Range Observation\nBasic Stealth and Camouflage\nGhillie Suit and Thermal Camouflage\nThermal Weapon Sights\nGrenade Theory\nDrone Theory\nRadio Theory\nLand Navigation\nAnti-Materiel Rifle Theory\nAutomatic Rifle Theory\nPrinciples of Patrol\nCombat First Aid\nCare Under Fire\nPrinciples of Attack\nPrinciples of Defense\nPrinciples of Ambush\nPrinciples of Raid\n\n\n\n\nPrerequisite: \n\n\n\nSelf Defense Theory\, formerly known as Home Defense and Firearm Safety Class \n\n\n\nLearn:  \n\n\n\nWhat is a shotgun?What does it do?
