Pump-Action Shotgun Experience for Beginners

If you have never fired a long gun, the pump-action 12-gauge is the right place to start. Forgiving aim, instant feedback, and a satisfying mechanical action between every shot. By the end of the first magazine, complete beginners are hitting steel.

What we run

• Remington 870 / Mossberg 500-pattern pump-action 12-gauge
• Buckshot for steel knockdown
• Slug for distance shots
• Birdshot for clay-pigeon throws
• Adjustable stock for any shoulder length

Why a pump beats a semi-auto for beginners

• Mandatory action between shots — you cannot accidentally double
• Reliable on any ammo — no cycling issues
• You learn shotgun mounting properly because there is no rush
• Cheaper per round

A typical shotgun session

• Brief and dry handling — mount, cheek weld, pump cycle — 10 min
• Static steel knockdown at 10 m — 10 rounds buckshot
• Clay throws on the open bay — 15 rounds birdshot
• Slug accuracy at 25 m — 10 rounds
• Optional: breaching drills against steel for experienced groups

Prices

• Shotgun taster — 25 rounds: €60
• Shotgun half day — 50 rounds, clays + steel + slug: €90
• Combine with Glock 17: €130

Great as a first-day gun

Many guests who book a Combine day choose pump shotgun as their warm-up before stepping onto pistol or AR15. It removes pressure, builds confidence and is genuinely fun.
