Requirements
Firearm Requirements: A pump or semiauto shotgun in either 12 or 20 gauge. Do not bring a shotgun that only has a pistol grip but no butt stock. Your magazine needs to hold at least four rounds. If your shotgun has a plug in the magazine please remove the plug before class.
You should have some means of carrying spare ammunition on the gun. A side saddle or a butt cuff are both fine, which ever you prefer.
Ammunition Requires: NO STEEL SHOT. 100 rounds of bird shot (#4, #5, or #6 shot), 30 rounds of buckshot (defensive load), 20 slugs (low recoil slugs recommended)
