| TRAINING NEWS |
Spartan Tactical had another great opportunity last month to present our Tactical Shotgun Deployment Course in Mount Carroll, Illinois, and the weather was excellent, as over 16 students attended this high intensity course!
Topics focused on personal defense applications of the shotgun, dynamic movement and aggressive gun-handling skills that are necessary for conflict resolution. The course was very interesting this time around as the disparity of shotguns used in this class ranged from pump action and semi-automatic to the unique Saiga 12 gauge.
It was a learning experience for everyone as both students and instructors explored the strengths and weaknesses of the Saiga. In the end, we made the Saiga work and modified drills so it could compete with the rest of the conventional shotguns.
We're already looking forward to running this class again soon and will have several scheduled for our 2012 training season. Stay tuned for more information and check our training schedule page for class updates.
