Clint believes that you shouldn't stand still in a fight, so we were constantly on the move while we were shooting.

Move, shoot, reload.

Move, shoot, reload.

Heidi caught me with an empty in the air, just to show Tman he isn't the only one that can do it.

Clint stressed that the biggest disadvantage of a shotgun is limited ammo capacity and the need for manipulation (reloading).

So, we practiced reloading over and over and over and over and over... you get the idea.

We were encouraged to load from the side saddle of the gun and replenish it from our pockets.

As Clint says, "You will fight with what is in and on the gun."

Here Clint explains how to clear a problem from the gun while staying in the fight.

We practiced every failure imaginable, smokestacks, doublefeeds, short strokes, etc, over and over.

One of the best drills was called the Battlefield Pick-Up drill.

We set up a malfunction in our gun and laid it down.

Then we moved over to behind our neighbor's gun and on the signal we ran up and picked up the (strange) gun and had to figure out how to clear the malfunction and fire 2 shots on steel.
