Shotgun Operator: June 29-30 2019
With Rob Haught
As far back as anyone can remember, the shotgun has served Americans in almost all areas of our lives. It has fed our families, patrolled our streets, defended our homes and fought our wars for generations.Today, in spite of inroads and advances in Patrol Rifles, Tasers and other more advanced weaponry, the Pump action shotgun remains the most common support weapon in law enforcement and home defense.
Shotgun Operator's Course:
Shotgun Operator is an intensive two day program that is designed to provide the student with the fundamental gun handling skills to utilize the modern duty shotgun in an efficient and effective manner. Focusing on manipulation skills that maximize the shotguns tactical performance, and advanced level shooting drills that enable the student to use this vital tool throughout its range of capabilities, Shotgun Operator is designed to give the end user a complete system of shotgun manipulation skills during the two day course of instruction.
The 12 gauge pump shotgun is one of the most powerful CQB weapons available in the small arms arsenal, yet it is one of the least understood. This course primarily focuses on the Push/Pull method of recoil control, as developed and taught by shotgun master instructor, Rob Haught. Using his unique method of recoil management, the student will be able to reduce felt recoil by nearly 50% and be able to fire follow up shots with a 12 gauge pump shotgun as fast as most shooters can fire their pistols.
The student will also be introduced to the shotgun CQB technique, which effectively shortens the weapon by 33%, making it effective even in extremely tight quarters. Other topics include, marksmanship fundamentals, patterning zones, ammunition selection, tactical manipulation, equipment selection, low light considerations, malfunction clearances, pistol transitions, pivots/turns, and shooting on the move.
Students can expect to leave the class with a much higher understanding of the Shotgun’s capabilities and increased skill level with this weapon system.
