So, I've been shown a push/pull technique from a police officer friend of mine. It's made shooting the shotgun much more enjoyable since I learned it. Am I to assume this is something that's been around a while? I was shown, (not fully learned) this technique about 2 years ago. I've had a stock Win 1300 Defender for about 4 years and really didn't shoot it until I learned this technique. I've been using Federal 4buck since. Man, I envy you that are close enough to attend these classes. Please understand that if I ask questions about what is going on in these classes, it isn't just because I don't want to go pay for the classes, it's because I live about a bazzilion miles from them. My hope is that they get enough interest to have some out west.
The CQB firing position looks very interesting, but there's a couple of pics earlier that show it that seem to make me believe that there's only a gain of about 2-3" when employed. Is this a camera phenomenon? See below...

vs.

reference the cone in front of the muzzle. Is this because of when the photo was taken or can the CQB grip shorten up the profile more than what is depicted? I realize it may be a timing of the photo issue so don't think I'm criticizing, I'm not. Just trying to learn. Also, in the CQB mode, is there a necessity to put more forward force on the off hand to counteract the lack of shoulder support? It'd seem logical to assume so.
I also saw a few different pictures of people upending the shotgun to load it. Is that a personal preference or something that makes more sense being you can see the loading port? Personally, I've always loaded from the bottom with my index and thumb. If there's a reason for it, I'd like to know so I can start training it.
Thank you all for the pictures and the write ups. Being out here in the middle of nowhere has it's advantages I guess, but being close to such good training facilities isn't one of them.
Shoot safe!
Time flies when you throw your watch.
