Shotgun course / clinic around GTA?
- Thread starter Horilka
- Start date
What exactly do you need a shotgun specific course for? "Marksmanship" is somewhat redundant for a shotgun IMHO
If your looking for how to work the shotgun safely perhaps a YouTube video? Your PAL course should have covered this kind of thing i thought though.
Well, first of all - thank you for meaningful and valuable reply that directly addressed my request. Second here is my list of questions I wanted to clarify during this course:
- I can't find 12 calibre ammo in the stores, clerks push me to buy some "gauges", while I know for sure my shotgun is of 12 calibre!
- my stanag magazine won't fit into shotgun, hopefully it will be clarified during the course
- can't locate semi-auto/safe selector on my SxS
- I want to learn how to do "Blown Across the Room" on the paper targets
- also how to combine a buttstroke with shooting a target behind me at the same time.

Phase Line Green runs the shotgun clinic. I don't believe the instructor is employed by S&J.
That's surprising. I've had nothing but good experiences with them.
Well no need to be a smart ass about it
Your looking for something like a 3 gun course for shotgun?
Check your local ranges they have training seminars once in a while, I know ours does we get e mails fir specific courses that come up
Having a used gun shipped to me as new, arguing about it, admitting it was a repaired gun, offering to pay return shipping back (He didn't), throwing the employee that actually apologized and was just as unimpressed under the bus, then shipping out just a base new gun instead of what I ordered was more than enough to make me never give him another dollar. There are more than enough posts from people on here of similar stories and bad dealings. Phase line says they're partnered with them on it, so regardless, I wouldn't bother.
I thought implying I'm looking for "shotgun marksmanship" and that I don't possess even PAL-course level of knowledge might come across as toxic.
Anyway, water under the bridge. Good course clinic from my personal experience gives you a) concentrated knowledge you would need to scrape all over forums and YT for months, b) sharing of best practices with immediate answers to your questions, c) a day of practice with tons of ammo shot, c) immediate feedback and adjustments from instructors, d) an opportunity to watch and learn from other people doing same drills. I assumed all of this is obvious and doesn't require explanations.
