Within the curiosity of being a well-rounded shooter, I’ve been performing some shotgun work. I made a decision to file a shotgun drill and ran throughout the MPOETC Shotgun Qualification. It is a very well-rounded course of fireplace that doesn’t require a complete bunch of ammo, however checks a whole lot of abilities.
MPOETC Shotgun Qualification
The MPOETC (Municipal Police Officer’s Training and Coaching Fee) is Pennsylvania’s governing physique for legislation enforcement coaching requirements. This the qualification course for law enforcement officials carrying shotguns in Pennsylvania. Personally, I believe it’s a very well-designed course of fireplace. It covers capturing at distance, reloading, multiple-shot engagements, working from cruiser prepared, and capturing on the transfer. It solely has 5 phases, and solely makes use of 13 rounds (5 slug, 8 buck).
Let’s go over the course of fireplace. The meant goal is the TQ-21, which I didn’t have. I used an IALEFI Q goal as a substitute. which is roughly related in dimension. I attempted to carry all slugs/pellets within the 10″ circle at excessive middle chest. An IDPA goal (utilizing the -0 and -1 zones) would additionally work in a pinch.
- Stage 1: 50 yards, from barricade, cruiser prepared, hearth 2 slugs, 15 seconds
- Stage 2: 25 yards, cruiser prepared, hearth 1 slug standing, 2 slugs kneeling, 15 seconds
- Stage 3: 20 yards, cruiser prepared, hearth 2 rounds 00B, kneeling, 10 seconds
- Stage 4: 15 yards, fight loaded, hearth 2 00B standing, emergency reload, hearth 2 00B kneeling, 20 seconds
- Stage 5: 15 – 7, capturing on the transfer, give verbal instructions, on buzzer, hearth 2 rounds 00B, 2 seconds
The one factor this qual course is absolutely lacking is the short-stocking method I discussed within the video. Watch Chris Baker’s video on it HERE.
