Combat Shotgun I
If there ever was a point and shoot weapon, it
is the shotgun. From the trench guns of WW I,
all the way up to today’s application of the
shotgun in law enforcement, the military, and
home defense. No other firearm out there
commands the respect a 12-guage shotgun does,
when you rack that slide.
In this one-day course Mike Rayburn will take
his knowledge of point shooting, and apply it to
the shotgun. When you’re in combat, whether it’s
with a handgun, rifle, or shotgun, your body
will instinctively react to the stress when your
fight or flight response kicks in. This course
will teach you to work with those natural
reactions, while applying the shotgun as an
effective tool.
Some of the topics covered:
Dispelling The Recoil Myth
Proper Mounting & Stance
Combat Loading
Movement
Rapid Firing
Ready Positions
Under arm Shooting
Hip Shooting
Low Light

Combat Shotgun I was a challenging, and
physically demanding course, then you can
imagine what’s in store for you in Combat
Shotgun II. Prepare yourself to be challenged on
every level in this demanding combat course.
After a refresher of the skills learned in
Combat Shotgun I, this course will use street
proven tactics to quickly advance into other
areas of the shotgun for combat use.

Combat Shotgun Instructor Course
The most versatile weapon in the law enforcement
arsenal has been, and will always continue to
be, the shotgun. Even though it is the most
versatile weapon we have, most officers still
shy away from using it. Here’s the thing; if
you’re going to a gun call, bring a real gun –
bring a shotgun. If you have to clear a building
that may possibly contain an armed individual,
bring a real gun – bring a shotgun. Nothing
commands more respect than the racking of the
slide on a 12-gauge shotgun.
One other fact about the shotgun that goes all
the way back to it’s origins is, that it’s a
point and shoot weapon. Going back to the old
blunder busters, the coach gun, to the trench
guns of WW I, all the way up to today’s law
enforcement and military applications. Sure, its
been improved upon over the years, but it’s
still a point and shoot weapon.
In this course Mike Rayburn takes his knowledge
of point shooting and applies it to the shotgun.
When you’re in combat, whether it’s with a
handgun, shotgun or rifle, your body will
instinctively react to the stress when you’re
fight or flight response kicks in. It doesn’t
make any sense to try and work around that
natural reaction. Instead, embrace it, work with
it, and more importantly – train with it. That’s
what this course is all about – to train like
you fight!
Some of the topics covered are; dispelling the
myth of the recoil, rapid firing, the various
ready positions, snap shooting, movement,
multiple assailants, the shotgun as a surgical
shooting tool, and transitioning to the handgun
are just a few of the topics covered.

handcuffing techniques is minimal, if at all.

handcuffing instructor the necessary tools and
information needed to conduct a handcuffing
program at his/her agency.
Some of the topics covered:
Care, Inspection, & Maintenance Disinfection & Biohazard Concerns
Tactical Positioning Contact & Cover Principles Proper Application & Release
In-custody Death Syndrome Excited Delirium
Handcuffing Case Law Documenting Use of Force
