  • Combat Shotgun I
    If there ever was a point and shoot weapon, it is the shotgun. From the trench guns of WW I, all the way up to today’s application of the shotgun in law enforcement, the military, and home defense. No other firearm out there commands the respect a 12-guage shotgun does, when you rack that slide.
    In this one-day course Mike Rayburn will take his knowledge of point shooting, and apply it to the shotgun. When you’re in combat, whether it’s with a handgun, rifle, or shotgun, your body will instinctively react to the stress when your fight or flight response kicks in. This course will teach you to work with those natural reactions, while applying the shotgun as an effective tool.

    Some of the topics covered:
    Dispelling The Recoil Myth
    Proper Mounting & Stance
    Combat Loading
    Movement
    Rapid Firing
    Ready Positions
    Under arm Shooting
    Hip Shooting

  • Combat Shotgun Instructor Course
    The most versatile weapon in the law enforcement arsenal has been, and will always continue to be, the shotgun. Even though it is the most versatile weapon we have, most officers still shy away from using it. Here’s the thing; if you’re going to a gun call, bring a real gun – bring a shotgun. If you have to clear a building that may possibly contain an armed individual, bring a real gun – bring a shotgun. Nothing commands more respect than the racking of the slide on a 12-gauge shotgun.

    One other fact about the shotgun that goes all the way back to it’s origins is, that it’s a point and shoot weapon. Going back to the old blunder busters, the coach gun, to the trench guns of WW I, all the way up to today’s law enforcement and military applications. Sure, its been improved upon over the years, but it’s still a point and shoot weapon.

    In this course Mike Rayburn takes his knowledge of point shooting and applies it to the shotgun. When you’re in combat, whether it’s with a handgun, shotgun or rifle, your body will instinctively react to the stress when you’re fight or flight response kicks in. It doesn’t make any sense to try and work around that natural reaction. Instead, embrace it, work with it, and more importantly – train with it. That’s what this course is all about – to train like you fight!
    Some of the topics covered are; dispelling the myth of the recoil, rapid firing, the various ready positions, snap shooting, movement, multiple assailants, the shotgun as a surgical shooting tool, and transitioning to the handgun are just a few of the topics covered.
