Unit standard 119652
The shotgun is the most misunderstood firearm in South African homes. People buy one believing it does not need aiming, and that single belief is behind most of the bad outcomes.
This course puts that right. You learn how a shotgun actually patterns at the distances inside a house, how to load and clear it under pressure, and how to handle recoil so that the second shot is as good as the first.
