PROGRAI4 NOTES SHOTGUN FIRING POSITIONS In many instances the officer assumes that firing a weaoon at the scene of a police action is a matter' of necessity rather than choice.
The officer should survey the scene if time Dermits and select e covered cosition if such is available.
STANCE - Stco forward with the week side foot to-wards the torget and flex the knee.
Lean forward slightly from the waist into the shotgun.
The body cosition simulates 6 boxer's defensive stance..
The butt of the shotgun must be brought up and held firmly in aEminst the hollow recess of the shoulder.
Do not Dermit the butt to slide out ont0'the -
shoulder or down onto the biceps muscle of the arm.
Keco the neck erect but in a natural cosition. DO NOT bring the check down onto the comb of the stock, or bend the head forward, but rather, bring the stock uo to the cheek where it can be rested without strein.
From this Dosition little, if any, discomfort should be experienced.
All that should be felt is a pushing motion against the shoulder which will be absorbed by the shooter's body.
Ammunition used by police agencies does not pro-
~
Juce light recoil in the shotgun.
Some officers, who have been subjected to the recoil aad exper-ionced discomfort have developed a definite-dis-like for the shot 6un.
Many shooters will tighten un their muscles, push the Eun out of the shoulder cocket and-flinch,to counteract the recoil.
Sometimes these poor habits may be eliminated by hoving the student fire a weapon which he believes loaded, but which in fact is not.
His lunge and the.
~
sudden, erratic movement of the muzzle'will cause him to recognize these movements as being in antic-ination of the shot going off.
Again, if the shot-gun is mounted correctly to the shoulder, and the head is held correctly, there should be little rennon to connlein of discomfort in firing.
TRIGGEP. MANIPULATION - Police of ficers are indoc-trinated with tho technique of "souceze" in sin-gle action revolver instruction until the weapon discharges as a comolete surprise.. In the firing
?
of shot charges at targets the trigger is " slapped" i.

PROGRAM NCfrES grasping the weapon firmly by the forestock..-
wrapoing the fingers of the weak hand around the barrel (s) and tucking the stock securely under the strong arm c1 bow below the armpit.
Use the same foot position as described before, but assume a more pronounced crouch.
The shot-gun must be hold as rigid es possible with the strong hand forearm parallel to the ground and locked at the elbow.
The stock must be tigh.tly,
held in escinst the shooter's side.
Tho fore
- stock grasped securely by the weak hahd is held down as much as possible during recoil.
When shooting from the hip many officers'have a tendency to shoot high into the body of the sil-houtte or over the target because the barrel is not carallel to the ground.
The shooter, crouch-ing, feels he must make a correction by canting I3 gg4 the muzzio upwards.
The student imagines he is lower than his target and must coint on an in-cline to score a hit.
This is the major cause of inaccurate hip shooting.
The muzzle must be kept down, even to the point where the shooter may feel it in.>ocinted too low for a hit.
M.
AIMING The shotgun should be brought un to the shoulder for firing and not fired from the hip except in close range suroriso situetions when time will not permit shoulder mounting of the weapon.
When the shotgun is brought un to the shoulder, the beed mounted on the barrel rib (Stevens M-311) should be used as a reference marker for the tar-g o t.
Aim the shotgun by sighting along 'the bar-rel rib nnd clacing the bend where the shot pat-tern or the rifled slug is intended to strike.
When using rifled slugs, all the trincieles'of rifle shootinF should bo cdhered to.es closely es posnibic.
The shotgun must be precisely nimod and the triggor SQUEEZED.
l MOVING TARGETS The ability to striko e moving te.rget that'is running directly toward or awey from the shoot-or does not require any instructions other than thone the officer hes c1 reedy received during revolver instruct 3on.
