CCW Shooting test requirements?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have read several different descriptions of the range test. Some say 3yds/7yds/15yds, and other have mentioned that they were out to 25 yards.

Is this a "standardized" test or up to the instructor and facilities capabilites? What was your test like, and did they use silhouette targets?

I don't know if there's a standard. I'm sure there is. Mine was 20 rds at 3 yds, 15 rds at 7 yds, and 15 rnds at 15 yds. They used silhouette targets.

The State mandates 48 rounds at three distances, 3, 7 and 15 yards.

If an instructor wants to have you shoot additional rounds at additional distances above and beyond what the State mandates, it's their prerogative.

Trust me when I tell you it is nothing to be concerned about. :)

Yes, we used silhouette targets.

Not exactly correct...

TN HCP mandated course of fire

12 at the 3

12 at the 7

12 at the 15

last 12...instructor choice, but must be fired from somewhere between 2-25 yards

let me put the state firing test in perspective for you. in my class there was a little old lady in her mid 60's. she stated that she traveled and lived alone so she decided to get her permit. her revolver was a S&W that was 50 years old and had not been fired in over 35 from what she said. she passed with no problem.

that make you feel any better?

I took mine today,we got to shoot a little. If I remember right we got to do 3 mags of 6 rounds @ 3 yds. 3 mags of 6 rounds @ 7 yds. and 3 mags of 6 rounds @ 15 yds.

I took it at ETSU, The instructor did a fine job.

:lol: Yeah...that's definitely comforting. :D:lol:

I wasn't worried about passing it...I just wondered what to expect. Thanks to everyone for the info.

When I shot a .380 in the test I ended up with .22 holes in my paper too.

The guy shooting the .22 was 2 lanes down from me :tough:

We all passed. :P

Don't worry about it.

12 @ 15

Next 12 were instructors choice. He chose 12 rapid fire (sort of) @ 3.

if you fail you will need to be wearing a blindfold

3-7-15 yards on a comically huge target. Everyone in my class got a chuckle when he pulled the targets out but I guess it does "simulate" a human-sized form - a real big one at 3 yards.

Target used is a B-27 silhouette. I think that is the standard?

i had the same thing happen to me. I was just getting my Kimber ultra carry running good and qualified with it, and there was 1 hole in the lower right corner that i think the kid next to me put in it. Pissed me off too as the center of my target was gone and there weren't any other strays :screwy:
