Military Pistol/Shotgun Course

The basic difference between military and civilian pistol is what the military has adopted for their sidearm. Therefore, all the principles of pistol marksmanship are the same, whether they are law-enforcement certification, military or competition shooting.

The military shotgun is a little different animal in that they have 18-20 inch barrels, pump action and have different ways of loading and shooting when compared to the way trap and skeet shooters shoot and handle their guns.  My daddy taught me to shoot quail and dove when I was a boy and I still remember how to do that. However, when it comes to shooting skeet and trap, I have more to learn than the average shooter. This recognized, there are individuals at Styx River indicating with much instruction and practice, they can make a decent clay pigeon shooter out of me. We’ll see.
