FAST Shotgun
The goal of the Second Amendment Foundation Training Division's "F.A.S.T. Shotgun" course is to provide students with a solid foundation in basic knowledge of shotguns - "Fundamentals and Safety Training" - on your specific shotgun, a basic understanding of ammunition and how it functions, as well as shooting fundamentals.
A person new to the use of a firearm for personal defense typically has a broad range of questions and is faced with learning a number of skills that are critical in the safe use of a firearm - in this case, a shotgun.
F.A.S.T. Shotgun is specifically designed to provide a person new to shotguns the opportunity to gain knowledge and learn the basics of operation, cleaning and maintenance, safety, and much more, in a convenient four-hour course. "F.A.S.T. Shotgun" is also meant as an introductory course for students new to shotguns, and this course is taken prior to taking S.A.F.T.D. Defensive Shotgun I.
