SUMMARY:Defensive Shotgun 1: Saturday\, December 6th
DESCRIPTION:Intro To Defensive Shotgun\n9am\, Saturday\, December 6th\, Deep50 Range\nThe defensive shotgun might be the most effective home defense firearm around\, but it is not a “fire and forget” sort of thing. Unlocking the true potential of a defensive shotgun takes some knowledge and familiarity with your gun and the ammunition it uses. This four hour class will show you just how effective a tactical shotgun can be in a home defense situation and give you the skills you need for optimal use of your scattergun when literally everything is on the line. \nTopics that this class will cover include: \n\nHistory of the defensive shotgun\nDifferences between a hunting shotgun and a tactical shotgun\nShotguns vs rifles for home defense\nGear and accessory choices\nSafe storage and deployment of the shotgun\nControlling recoil for fast follow-up shots\nReloading and ammo management\n\nGear Requirements:\nEither a pump action or semi-automatic shotgun is suitable for this class. The tactical or defensive use of the shotgun is radically different from its use in bird hunting or clay pigeon sports. As such\, it demands a different setup compared to a hunting gun. \nYour shotgun should have a shortened or adjustable stock for maximum effectiveness. If your shotgun has a tube magazine\, you should also have some method of storing additional ammo on the gun such as a butt sleeve or a receiver-mounted shotshell carrier. If you have a box magazine-fed shotgun\, bring at least two magazines as well as some way to store a magazine on your beltline. Shotgun slings with ammo loops are not recommended for this class. \n“FIREARMS” SUCH AS THE MOSSBERG SHOCKWAVE OR REMINGTON TAC-14 OR SHOTGUNS WITH A PISTOL GRIP AND NO STOCK ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THIS CLASS \nThe effective range of those guns is far shorter than a shotgun with a stock\, and as such\, they are not compatible with what the techniques taught in this class. There will be no refunds issued if you show up to class with inappropriate firearms or ammunition. \nThe barrel length of your shotgun should be between 18 and 22 inches. Barrels longer than 22 inches will be cumbersome and awkward in our context. A shotgun with a barrel and a stock less than 18 inches long is a Class III firearm. If you legally possess a short barrel shotgun\, feel free to use it in class. \nAmmunition Requirements\nYou will need 100 rounds or more of birdshot. We prefer #4\, #5 or #6 shot for training use. Really small shot\, like #7 ½ or #8 spreads out really quickly. Larger shot\, like #4\, more closely mimics buckshot at the distances we will be using. \nPLEASE DO NOT BRING ANY STEEL SHOT TO THIS CLASS \nIf you show up with shotshells full of steel shot\, you won’t shoot. It’s as simple as that. We do this for safety reasons\, and it’s just another one of the ways that a tactical shotgun differs from a hunting shotgun. \nYou will need approximately 20 rounds of buckshot. We prefer standard load eight or nine pellet 00 Buck. Magnum loads only increase the recoil and will beat you up to no advantage. Standard velocity 00 Buck will do just fine. If you want absolute maximum performance\, I suggest Federal Premium 8 pellet 00 Buck with the FliteControl wad. \nIf you have any questions about gear or ammunition prior to the class\, please email kevin@quietlyarmed.com. \n\n\nTOPICS COVERED\n\nHistory of the defensive shotgun\nDifferences between a hunting shotgun and a tactical shotgun\nShotguns vs rifles for home defense\nGear and accessory choices\nSafe storage and deployment of the shotgun\nControlling recoil for fast follow-up shots\nReloading and ammo management\n\nStudents will learn the following: \n\nThe history of the tactical shotgun and how it is different from a shotgun for hunting\nThe advantages and disadvantages of shotgun sighting methods\nHow to manage the recoil of their shotguns for fast follow-ups shots and effective target transitions\nHow to manage ammunition and keep the shotgun in the fight\nHave an opportunity to shoot a Federal law enforcement shotgun qualification (for instructional purposes only)\n\n\n\n\n\nSpread The Word:ShareFacebookEmailTwitter

SUMMARY:Low Light Defensive Encounters: Saturday\, December 13
DESCRIPTION:Low Light Defensive Encounters\n6pm Saturday\, December 13 at Deep50 Range\n“There’s no such thing as ‘street crime’ for the armed citizen\, rather\, there’s only ‘parking lot crime’.” – Tom Givens \nNighttime and other low light situations limit our ability to spot trouble before it becomes a problem for us. This is just one of the many reasons why crooks use it to their advantage\, and prey on innocent people under the cloak of darkness.  \nUnfortunately\, there are a lot of myths around how a low light environment works for and against those who would do us harm. The vast majority of low light instruction comes from a military or law enforcement background\, using techniques which may or may not be applicable to the armed citizen.  \nThis class\, however\, is designed to give the armed citizen the knowledge and skills they need to come out on top of an encounter in an urban low light environment.  \nTopics covered will include:  \n\nDifferent types of lighting environments and how they affect our vision\nLow light vs no light: Which is more common for the armed citizen?\nGear choices for when it gets dark \nNight sights\, weapon lights\, lasers and red dots \nDefensive flashlight techniques \nDefensive pistol use in a low light environment \n\n \nMandatory training requirements for this class.  \n\nCompletion of at least six hours of post-concealed carry class training\nAbility to draw a pistol from a holster and safely re-holster using one hand\nConstant and consistent application of the four rules of gun safety\n\nGear requirements for this class \n\nA modern\, semi-automatic pistol in 9mm or greater caliber with or without a weapon-mounted light attached \nAt least three magazines for your pistol\nA belt magazine pouch \nA secure and stable gun belt \nA safe and comfortable OWB (outside the waistband) holster for your pistol (IWB and concealed carry ONLY with instructor permission)\nA headlamp flashlight with a red lens and white light\nA bright (300 lumens or greater) tactical flashlight with a tail-mounted activation switch\n200 rounds of FMJ ammunition \nOptional: A rifle\, pistol caliber carbine or shotgun with a weapon-mounted light and 50 rounds of ammunition (rifle/PCC) or 20 rounds of birdshot (shotgun)\nBug spray\, water\, range gear. \n\nClass will be approximately 4-5 hours long and will be held at the Deep50 Gun Range.  \nSpread The Word:ShareFacebookEmailTwitter
