Just finished this class and was very impressed with Pat Doyle and Jeff Collins. The material was interesting and we shot A LOT. They ran a safe range and let the class run some dynamic drills using the techniques taught. The class focused on the operation and reloading techniques of the shotgun with an emphasis on stopping a threat with it.
We looked at different loads and their effects on targets as well as penetration tests on interior and exterior walls and car bodies.
The last day we ran an steel course where we had to use all the techniques taught to us the previous days including reloads, transitions to pistol, and barricade work. Then Pat did a demonstration on door breaching with a shotgun and allowed class participants to perform it as well.
All in all it was a great class and I learned a lot about what an effective weapon the shotgun is. I would highly recommend this course to anyone that uses a shotgun as their home defense weapon or LEO who want to increase their skills.
