NOTE: The course/test in your area may differ. This is from ONE particular school in TEXAS and not a nationwide standard. It is just to help anyone preparing to take their test to give them an idea of what to work on

[BC1]

No qualification required in NY.

[Treo]

What state does this test apply to?

[Nightmare45]

Looks like Texas, wish folks would at least mark their state under location.

[chiefpropellerhead]

I wonder how many people would fail that test?

[JSDinTexas]

Similar to TX, but not exactly the way we did it some time back - we loaded X rounds, and fired all rounds in a set time. That may be what he's saying.
And at 3, 7, and 15, you should be able to qualify blindfolded, although I saw some silhouettes that looked like swiss cheese. I only had one big hole in my target. So next time I have to do this, I want to draw things like hearts and triangles with the rounds

[Samefly]

It is for ONE particular school in TX. It's just something I came across online. I put that the test may vary in your area. I just want to put up something that may help people, like myself, that are preparing for their CHL course.

What test?

In Alabama, you fill out your application (so's they can have the information needed to run the background check and run a couple personal references), pay your $20, wait about a week and come and pick it up.

Hey Samefly, sorry if I irritated you - didn't mean to.

I'll make two comments:
1. TX requires a written test so concentrate on the rules and laws. Also a good instructor will usually make known the questions and answers as the class progresses.
2. Don't worry about the shooting part - I saw a lady, age 65, who never held a gun in her life, rent a semi-auto from the range and qualified.

Not many
No one in my class failed
Definitely not the best bench mark to test your shooting ability.
