Basic Shotgun Course 
Florida Firearms Academy’s Basic Shotgun Course is made for shooters who are looking for knowledge on shotguns that they own, or looking to purchase. This includes the universal safety rules of firearms training, safe handling of the firearms, and proper use of the firearm. We will discuss the different types of shotguns, their gauges (or calibers), and types of shotgun shells. Whether you bring your own firearm or rent one of ours, we will teach you the most efficient and practical ways to practice. For this class, we will be using only Double-Ought Buckshot (00 Buck). For your own firearm you can bring your own ammunition if you have it. If not, we will have ammunition available for purchase. If you plan to use one of our rentals, you will have to purchase our ammunition. The firearm rental will be included in course pricing, but ammunition will have to be purchased separately in store. During the range portion of this course, shooters will fire 10 rounds at 2 targets (5 on each target), while being coached by the course instructor.
What you will need:
- Eye and Ear Protection (if you have it)
- Your own shotgun of any type and gauge (if you have it)
- 10 Rounds of Double-Ought buckshot
Ammunition available for in-store purchase are .410 bore, 20 gauge, and 12 gauge. If you have a firearm of any other gauge, you will need to bring your own 00 buckshot ammunition.
What we will provide:
- Range Fees
- Eye and Ear Protection
- 2 Targets
- Rental Shotgun (Keep in mind, if you use our firearm, the ammunition will have to be purchased here at FFA. (Ammo will vary in price depending on the gauge.)
Before the Course Reminders:
