    I can't remember the requirements but there is a thread for CHL info. You could also Google it. It is not difficult. Is she going fr her CHL?

    Why yes, yes it is :p


    Interesting. I have taken the course three times and I have never seen this list of requirements. I have taken all three classes at the Bullet Trap and they never mentioned the amount of time you're supposed to shoot the shots.
    That's actually an excessive amount of time so you probably wouldn't notice it unless they ran a timer on you.

    When I took the test I don't think the guy even timed us. He didn't say shoot x amount in x seconds. Just told us how many shots to fire.

    We were told how much time was allowed for each volley but whether or not we were timed I'm not sure.

    Maybe he should have stood in front of us?

    Shots must be timed. If DPS audits a class and the instructor fails to run the course as required, the student's certificates will be invalid.

    I always time mine. Irresponsible not to.

    There is plenty of time.

    I think it's something like 1 shot in 3 seconds, 2 in 5 seconds.

    It changes depending on number of shots and distance. Most only seemed to use half the time allowed in my class including myself. I actually fired an extra shot at the 15 yrd line and still had time left. I thought I was shooting slow.

    The shooting portion is easy. There were a couple ladies in the CHL course I took yesterday who had never fired a handgun before that passed easily.

    Here's my target

    Well maybe they did? I honestly cannot remember which is not good.

    From a legal standpoint that is not a good idea to have that let alone post it on the web.
