DESCRIPTION

Combative Shotgun is designed to provide the intermediate level student with a systematic approach to Shotgun marksmanship, manipulations, and employment. Our curriculum is progressive in format, with each component skill laying the foundation for the next leading to a well-rounded combat Shotgun shooter.

Students will engage in multiple repetitions as they hone skills such as presenting on target, reloading, multiple shot engagements, and shooting on the move. These skill learnings will be amplified by the ability to utilize not just paper targets but multiple steel target arrays and challenging drills provided by the cadre.

Our Reviews

This is the second class I have signed up for. I travel 1600 miles round trip to come to Ridgeline and that should tell you everything you need to know about how I feel about the value and experience of training here.

The Mid Range Carbine class I took at Ridgeline was the most fun, and I think the most beneficial class I have ever taken.

In addition to what we did in the class, I left with a great base of things to work on. Can’t wait to get back to Ridgeline again soon!

I wish I had taken this class when I was a newer shooter so I didn’t have to unlearn so many bad habits. I would recommend the classes here to anyone!
