SUMMARY:Basic Defensive Shotgun
DESCRIPTION:Basic Defensive Shotgun is an informational and hands-on class in the use of the modern pump or semi-automatic shotgun as a home defense weapon. A shotgun is an extremely effective\, diverse\, and psychologically intimidating self-defense weapon. But there are many misconceptions about it\, and it is sometimes as intimidating to its users as it might be to an attacker. Shotgun operating systems tend to behave differently than most other firearms\, and need to be understood and practiced. And shotguns can fire an enormously broad range of ammunition types\, not all of which are suitable in some situations. \nShotgun handling safety\, range safety\, and safe storage are addressed. We will go through the basic operating systems (pump and semi-automatic) commonly used in self-defense shotguns. We will practice basic handling\, operation\, loading and unloading with dummy ammunition in the classroom\, and proper mounting of the shotgun. The course concludes with live-fire session on the range\, shot at various distances and speeds\, and with different types of shotgun ammunition. \nThis course will consist of about 2 ½ hours of classroom material and practice\, and about 1 ½ hours of live-fire range time. The class is nominally four hours in length\, but sometimes runs a bit longer\, based on student questions. \nStudents will fire about 60 rounds of ammunition: 45 rounds of birdshot\, 10 buckshot\, and 5 slugs. \nCourse Goal: “To allow the student to understand the operation and appropriate use of the defensive shotgun\, and to provide information and basics that will allow the student to practice and improve those skills.” \nLessons \n\nBasic Shotgun\, Home and Range Safety\nShotgun Operating Systems.\nLoading\, Unloading\, or Changing Loads in a Shotgun\nProper Mounting and Technique for Shotgun Use\nLive Fire Range Exercises\nEquipment and Ammunition\nReview and Questions\n\nPrerequisites: None \nCourse Completion: Students will receive an Indy Arms Company certificate of attendance upon completion of the course. \nCost: $99.00 \nIncluded: \n\nPersonal Protection Equipment: Eye and Ear Rental\nTargets\n\nCustomer Responsibility/Gear: \n\nComplete Liability Waiver prior to the start of class – Click Here\nArrive at least 15 minutes prior to class for check in\nPump or Semi-Automatic Shotgun\n60 rounds of ammunition: 45 rounds of birdshot\, 10 buckshot\, and 5 slugs\n\nNOTES: \n\nIf you need a shotgun please contact the range to secure the usage of a shotgun for class; rental shotguns must use ammunition purchased from Indy Arms\nStudents may purchase ammo from Indy Arms or bring their own ammunition for use in a class as long as it adheres to Indy Arms’ ammunition policies.\nStudents under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult (ask about a youth discount for training classes)\nStudents arriving more than 10 minutes after the designated start time may not be allowed into class and will need to reschedule\n\n***Please come in 15- 20 min early to complete the necessary check in process before any training class. This will give us time to verify your range waiver at the counter. This is also the time to buy ammo\, Holster\, Hearing protection\, anything you will need for the class. Classes start promptly and we don’t want you to miss anything.***
