Hi all. I live in the Monterey CA area and I am researching a good certified individual for basic shotgun training, within 25 miles or so around town. I plan to purchase a shotgun, and I have never owned or shot any kind of long gun (some experience with revolvers and that's it). So first things first, I need to figure out the options for training with it, not just the shooting part, but including assembly/disassembly, maintenance etc... I know there is a specific "training" area in this forum, but I thought if might be better to ask here.
I am aware of ranges who advertise in my area, such as Valley Firearms, and I know how to look up the NRA web site for training courses. However, through prior experience in WA state, I know that there are often very qualified and certified individuals who don't necessarily advertise their services, but are known in the local shooter's community. Specifically, I want to find out if options for private lessons exist, and if yes price them, although I will take a standard course if needed. I'm not sure how normal or off-the-wall my inquiry is
I have been looking at the Mossberg 590M, or its tube-loaded equivalent(s) if the former is deemed to be a howitzer under PRC's law
Thanks for any specific recommendations and info.
