Few thrills match hitting a clay target dead-on at 40 yards with a shotgun. Yet many Peoria area owners only use their trusty Remington or Mossberg occasionally at the range. Without proper training, safely maximizing a shotgun’s potential in home defense or competition remains out of reach. If you’ve considered our shotgun classes in Phoenix but still have questions, our experts are here to help. Below we reveal the unconventional wisdom that promises better results in less time when you train with us.
What will I learn in a basic shotgun class?
At C2 Tactical, our Shotgun 101 class provides a strong foundation covering firearm basics, range safety, proper stance, reload techniques, patterning and more. Under expert supervision, you'll also get hands-on practice with live-fire at stationary and moving targets. This comprehensive course makes even novice shooters comfortable, safe, and accurate with any action. But we take instruction further, with advanced drills tailored to your exact skills and goals.
What types of shotguns are covered?
We teach shotgunning with all major action types - pump, semi-auto, break action, and lever-action. So whether you already own a shotgun or are looking to purchase, you’ll train with a variety of models to learn their nuances through hands-on experience at our premier Phoenix range.
What target types will I shoot?
Our indoor shotgun range can configure stationary paper targets, rotating clays, moving knockdowns, and other simulations to keep drills engaging. We ensure you become proficient rapidly hitting any target type, from a charging assailant to skeet shooting. Your skills will match any situation once trained by our experts.
Can I train for home defense?
Absolutely. We'll teach you techniques like instinctively loading/chambering shells from cruise or low ready positions. You'll also learn to move, aim and fire fluidly under pressure during specialized home defense drills using buckshot. Leave ready to protect your Peoria home confidently.
How much shooting will we do?
While classroom education is critical, true shotgun mastery requires extensive live fire training. Our classes devote approximately 70% of time to shooting drills with oversight and tips from an instructor. You'll run through hundreds of rounds perfecting your skills in our Phoenix facility.
What if I’ve never fired a shotgun before?
No worries! Our patient instructors excel at mentoring beginner students. We'll ensure you understand core concepts before stepping into the range. With guidance, new shooters regularly discover they're hitting targets faster than expected by the end of our basic class.
Do I need my own shotgun?
You're welcome to train with your personal firearm after our staff confirms it's mechanically sound. However, we have a wide variety of shotguns available to rent if you don't yet own one or want to test options before buying. Let your instructor know your needs.
