Shotgun techniques

Marcus · November 8, 1998, 12:36 PM

I just got done reading Stressfire II by Mas Ayoob. Whie I found Stressfire to be very educational and usefull ,Stressfire II has me a bit confused. The techniques seem to be at times contradictory. What`re your opinions? Any recomendations for further reading into shotgun techniques? Thanks, Marcus

Marcus,
I've got a few ideas <g>
The Defensive Shotgun, by Louis Awerbuck, for starters. Mr. Awerbuck also did a pretty good video of the subject as well, availible from Paladin Press & others.
Follow-ups would be The Tactical Shotgun by Gabe Suarez and The Serious Social Shotgun by Steve Mattera, published by (I think) Zeidecker Press, it's a bit harder to find but the better of the two books.
You didn't ask, but I'll throw it out anyway: Training, Awerbuck does an excellant 3 day shotgun class. Bill Jeans, currently of Morrigan Consulting, is traveling to teach classes as well.
I've got copies of some articles should you be interested in them.

Check 6,
Erick

Thanks Erick,Ayoob mentions Awerbuck quite a bit in his book so he seems to second your opinion. I`ve only seen Suarez`s book once in person and it was waayyy overpriced,I believe I`ll look for it on the net. I`ll look for Mattera`s too. I`d love to get some hands on training but unfortunately it`s not possible for me at this time. As soon as I can though I plan to do it. Marcus
