I want to qualify with a shotgun in academy, how should I be training now?
Hi! I'm not yet in Houston's PD academy (it is a few months away), but I've been told I can qualify with a shotgun. I want to accomplish this. I've got little to no experience with shotguns, but I got a dvd that taught me a lot about what I should be looking at/how I should load/etc: (http://www.navyseals.com/store/detail.aspx?ID=172&Name=Tactical-Shotgun-for-Self-Defense-DVD)
Anyhow I have two questions about that. #1, how should I be training? I have access to a range near my house (indoor and outdoor varieties). I have no idea what they will want me to be capable of (grouping, distance, target acquisition, tactical clearing, or otherwise).
Secondly, I'm planning on getting a Remington 870 with a pistol grip, butt-stock, ghost-ring sights. Everything else I don't feel I'll really need to do well in qualifications. Anyone think I should be looking at a different model/setup?
Your input will be appreciated.
First off good luck in the academy. Do what they tell you to do, keep your head down, and when you get out on the street stay safe and just make sure you and your boys come home at the end of shift.. I'm sure you'll be great.
To the question now. First off good with finding the range near your house. That was going to be my first tip. Secondly, if the Houston PD site has a contact page, go ahead and ask them what you can do to prepare and what the shotgun requirement is. Lastly, in regards to the 870, the only thing I would suggest is make sure the 870 is what they use. Besides that, just make sure the thing works. All the fancy nightsights and other shiny features they put on those things are fun to get more as a hobby. When it comes down to it, right now just worry about getting a basic gun. Once your in, it will only take a couple weeks to hear the run around on what weapons and such are good.
I dont feel like that was quite a great answer, but it's the best I could do, and I figured anything could help.
Again, good luck, stay safe.
