Shotgun Mastery Series - Day One
Shotgun Mastery Series - Day One
The Combat Marksmanship curriculum is the foundation of what we teach at the Lodestone Training and Consulting. The course provides an introduction to the 8 fundamentals of combat marksmanship, and provides the student with a series of foundation drills to reinforce these fundamentals and ensure the students success. These classes are paced to the student’s level of experience, so that no matter what skill level the student arrives with, the entire class succeeds.
The Shotgun series of classes concentrates on the use of the Shotgun. The Day One course is targeted at students who are new to Shotguns and are looking for a solid foundation to build on. This class offers the perfect opportunity for the student to become familiar with the safe manipulation and utilization of a Shotgun and prepares them to use a Shotgun in the defense of themselves and their family.
The day consists of 1-2 hours of classroom instruction, followed by live-fire instruction. There is a 30-60 minute lunch break included, lunch to be provided by LTAC.
