Shotgun Training Video with Mike Lamb: Master the Most Overlooked Tool in Self-Defense

In a world that glorifies high-tech carbines and tricked-out pistols, the shotgun remains one of the most underestimated weapons in the self-defense arsenal. That’s exactly why Panteao Productions teamed up with Mike Lamb, a former Force Recon Marine and tactical training expert, to create this no-nonsense Shotgun Training Video. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned shooter, this course gives you the foundational knowledge and real-world tactics to deploy a shotgun with precision and confidence.

 Why Shotgun Training Matters

With years of operational experience and a teaching style that’s both direct and relatable, Mike delivers content that resonates with real-world needs.

While carbines may look “tacti-cool,” Mike emphasizes that the shotgun—when properly understood and applied—is a powerhouse in defensive strategy. This video ensures you no longer overlook this potent tool and instead use it effectively for what it was designed to do: get the job done.
