The Basic Shotgun Instructors Course is designed to develop Serving Officers into Qualified Shotgun Instructors. As Qualified Instructors, an officer on this course will be certified to provide quality weapons instruction to members of their department or agency in the use of shotguns. As an officer chosen to attend this course, you will be provided with the knowledge and skills necessary to proficiently organize and competently conduct shotgun qualifications, as well as provide remedial instruction that will assist other officers with their weapons skills in an effort to assist fellow officers in meeting their annual weapons qualification standards. You will also learn policies & procedures regarding the safe & effective operation and maintenance of a shooting range. An example is the APA range ratio of one [1] Instructor for every four [4] student/officers at the firing line, on the range.
