Shotgun Performance Course

The Team Anvil Shotgun Performance Course is a 7-hour performance-driven training program built to develop safe, capable, and confident shotgun operators from the ground up.

This course is designed for new and developing shooters who want more than static lane shooting. Students will learn how to efficiently run a defensive shotgun through structured repetitions, performance-based drills, and practical real-world application.

Throughout the day, students will build a solid foundation in shotgun setup, safety, recoil management, loading procedures, target transitions, pattern accountability, malfunction handling, movement principles, and defensive application. Instruction focuses on developing consistency, control, and confidence under realistic conditions while maintaining strict safety standards.
