For people seeking a supervised introduction to the shotgun platform; extensive prior platform experience is not required.
Private participants can book open dates if they meet the stated requirements. For security companies and public agencies we plan team programmes.
WHAT TO EXPECT
We explain the key characteristics of the shotgun, the safety rules at the facility and the types of ammunition relevant to the course. Instructors demonstrate the planned handling tasks before supervised practical work begins.
