This comprehensive shotgun skills test, designed by Chris Baker of Lucky Gunner, evaluates proficiency in home defense scenarios. It includes stages focusing on accuracy, speed, manipulation, reloading, and close-quarters engagement, with specific par times and scoring criteria. Baker, a recognized subject matter expert, emphasizes practical application for private citizens.
This guide details the 'short stocking' or 'short sticking' technique for using a shotgun in close quarters, popularized by Rob Haught and taught by instructors like Chris Baker. It involves rotating the shotgun 90 degrees to reduce its profile, similar to a handgun, making it more maneuverable in tight spaces. The technique requires specific recoil management ('push-pull') and adjusted aiming due to point-of-impact shifts. Mastery requires significant training, with recommendations for courses from 360 Performance Shooting and Rob Haught.
