TACTICAL SHOTGUN


"If someone has a gun and is trying to kill you, it would be reasonable to shoot back with
your own gun."
- The Dalai Lama


The shotgun is one of the oldest and most common, yet under-rated and least understood weapon platforms. Truly one of the most versatile tools available to today, the shotgun is a must have for sportsman, hunters, target shooter, or anyone interested in home and self-defense.

NOTE that our range facilities are spartan, so if there is a creature comfort you want you will need to bring it yourself. Shade, something to sit on... and of course beverages and snacks.
