Defensive Shotgun Training Workshop

Course Length: 3 Hours

Course Location: Phoenix, AZ

Join our intensive 3-hour Defensive Shotgun Training Workshop, crafted to teach practical skills for using a shotgun in self-defense scenarios and in general use. Designed for all skill levels, this session emphasizes safe, effective techniques for high-stress, real-world encounters.

The first hour focuses on shotgun fundamentals, covering safety protocols, proper grip, stance, and sight alignment. You’ll learn to load and manipulate pump or semi-auto shotguns while understanding legal considerations for defensive use. The second hour dives into close-range engagements, practicing rapid target acquisition, pattern control, and recoil management with buckshot or slugs. You’ll also train in transitioning between targets and reloading under pressure. The final hour integrates these skills into dynamic scenarios, simulating real-world threats with movement to cover, threat assessment, and decision-making drills. Emphasis is placed on situational awareness and de-escalation when feasible.

Led by certified instructors, this workshop uses training shotguns or live fire (range-dependent) for safe, realistic practice. Wear tactical or athletic clothing, closed-toe shoes, and bring water. Leave confident in your shotgun proficiency for self-defense. Limited spots—register now for this critical, hands-on training! Basic firearm experience recommended.
