Shotgun Skills (for Adults)

This workshop teaches everything you need to know about shotguns—safety, nomenclature, action types, ammunition, chokes, and the techniques to be an accurate shooter.

The session starts with a classroom lecture covering shotgun function, safe handling, and proper shooting form. A range safety briefing will set expectations before moving into hands-on training. Participants will receive instruction on shotgun fit and mounting, followed by progressive shooting drills to develop accuracy and confidence. The workshop concludes with a demonstration of how shooting fundamentals apply in real hunting scenarios using sporting clay targets.

If you're looking to build confidence with a shotgun and improve your shooting skills, this workshop is a great place to start!
