Defensive Shotgun Course 

Sunday, April 24th, 2022

For this class we have added 8 Shotguns available for purchase with training course included for $359.99. This is to encourage students who do not own a shotgun to participate and own their very own home defense weapon. If you choose to purchase the course with the shotgun we recommend to come in and register your shotgun within the first 10 days. Registration fees will be paid separately at The Range Pistol Club. While the shotgun is serving the holding/background check period, you will be able to use it for your class.
