$225 for up to 4 students

The second course in the American Shooter curriculum, in which you will learn:

• Basic Wing Shooting
• Introduction to Dynamic Shooting (Traditional)

This course assumes you have already taken Lesson 1:  Marksmanship.  This course teaches you the fundamentals of Dynamic Shooting through the art of Wing-Shooting—that is, shooting birds or clay pigeons in flight—using a shotgun.

This course lays the groundwork for Traditional Dynamic Shooting skills, which will come back to serve you if you pursue defensive/combat shooting.

You will need:

• A shotgun fitted to you, preferably chambered for 20-gauge shot-shells, with traditional rail-and-bead sight and cylinder, skeet, or trap choke.  (AS can provide a shotgun if you do not have one.)
• A shotgun case (soft or hard-shell) if bringing your own shotgun
• Ammunition for your shotgun (300 shotshells, #7½, #8, or #9 shot, 20 gauge if using AS’s shotgun)
• Eye protection  (Your instructor can provide loaner eye-pro if necessary)
• Ear protection  (You may purchase foam earplugs if necessary)

Aspiring Pistol/Defensive Shooters:  If you are taking this class with the intent to work toward defensive/combat shooting with a handgun or carbine, you can use AS’s shotgun, and you need only provide ammunition.  However, be warned: shotgun sports are addictively fun and are far and away the best training for accurate tactical/defensive shooting (which is another form of Dynamic Shooting).  You may be sorely tempted to buy a shotgun after taking this class.
