Timings are 6pm to 9pm each night (Tuesday and Thursday)

The aim of the Basic Shotgun course is to provide training to the recreational shooter, in reflexive practical shooting competitions, where both speed and precision are paramount, in order to be effective in competition scenarios.

The Basic Shotgun Program is a two evening package progressing from dry to live training as follows:

Evening One – Dry & Live Instruction: Dry & Live instruction covers the fundamentals of reflexive shooting; Stance, grip, sights, ready positions, trigger control, follow-through, immediate actions, load drills, transitions, and static turns

Evening Two – Live Fire: The live fire component of the package comprises approximately 250 rounds carbine and 100 rounds handgun (transition drills) per candidate. The live fire, the main effort of the Program, develops both the muscle memory and the psychological comfort with one’s firearm and live ammunition that are fundamental to reflexive shooting.

This package is dynamic and continues to be refined with each serial conducted. It must not be viewed as a qualification or certification.

It is individual and personal interest training of a perishable skill that must be periodically refreshed.

Furthermore, it should be considered the first step into more challenging training, where imagination and initiative can develop a whole host of training scenarios.
