chl question

[grove rat]

what are the shooting qualifications you have to pass when you take the class/test?

i might be able to take the class at the end of the month :)

[That_Is_My_El_Camino]

Get like 70%. It's easy. 20 shots at 3 yards (10 shots "slow fire," 10 shots "double tap" (5 2-shot bursts)), 20 shots at 7 yards, same thing; then 10 shots at 15 yards slow fire.

[Denny]

Easy shit... fire off a few from a few feet away, then fire off a few more from a little longer, then finally fire off a few from just a little bit longer.

[David]

Its a blow off qualification. I did it hung over and with a mixture of ammo and a gun Id never shot before.

If you can point a gun in the right direction, you'll pass.

And if you can't keep it within the 8 ring (at the very least) please put the gun down.

[grove rat]

thanks for all the responses guys.

btw, has anyone taken the class at the garland public shooting range?

that's where i go to shoot because it's cheap and outdoors(doesn't like indoor ranges for some reason). the guys there are really nice, i have yet to come across one of "those" older type guys that is a dick to everyone under the age of fifty

[whitetrash]

[midniteblue5.0]

[grove rat]

It was through a private indiviual who just used the Garland range.

[grove rat]

Mike, if you don't mind the drive I'd highly recommend these guys for getting your CHL class. They made the class a lot more interesting than my first go around and it was very informative. They also do Sunday classes (which is why I went with them) and take care of all the paperwork other than dropping it in the mail for you.

Back than I worked my OT ($$) on Saturdays so having a class on Sunday made it easier for me.

X2 on this place!! My original CHL and several renewals. Good group of folks. They told my class that no one has ever failed the shooting part of the test.....

[kc50lx]

Not true. A woman in my class didn't pass the shooting qualification using a .22 SA of some type. Her husband and the instructor stayed after to "try to help" her pass the shooting part of it.

God help anyone in or around her if she ever has to pull her weapon!!

X2
they made ya think some and the time went by quickly, and didn't have to bring anything but me and some cash. Range is onsite. Wouldn't know it by lookin at it.

[bjtheman1]

Where can you find a list of CHL classes in your area?

[Casper]

I wondered the other day if there was anything that would prevent you from qualifying with single action wheelgun like a Colt SAA? I'm sure the instructor has enough discretionary input that they could make it damn near impossible, but technically speaking? I mean they have to allow for a double action wheelgun somehow. Does the revolver shooter have the same time limits or do they get extra consideration for reloading?

I'd like to be the person to do that with a single action 5 shot just to say I did :D

Hell, I forgot; this is dstangs, I can say I did anyhow ;)

While it is technically possible, it may not be ideal to use a 5 shot revolver. The shooting test I took part in required loading up 6 rounds at one point.

Besides, qualify with a revolver, carry a revolver. Qualify with a semi-auto, carry a semi-auto or a revolver.

Don't attempt to qualify with a Colt SAA just to say you did. Hell, I'd let you use one of my Glocks just you wouldn't be stuck with a wheel gun.

But yeah, just say you did anyway on here...

I know about the restriction, which in the grand scheme of things seems silly but that's what it is. It was just a passing thought.

But yeah, when I got my CHL I used 410 shotshells in a derringer, and I was still able to outshoot some navy seals and a couple of ISPC competitors who just happened to be qualifying at the same time. There was also a supermaodel and she was giving me a BJ while I qualified, to the amazement of everyone there, because I don't usually lower my standards to chicks with smaller than triple FFFs. It wasn't two minutes afterwards that word had goten back to the governer and he personally expedited the whole thing, took me less than a weekend from the time I started looking into it until I had a card in my wallet. And they gave me a special card that allows me to carry openly in bars because I often have to break up biker gang fights and stuff. I really didn't need the license but chuck norris called and begged me to in a squeaky little girls voice so that his favorite range would get some publicity. I strung him along until he was just crying, then I felt sorry for him.

I call BS on the original but I fixed it ;)

I put that in there just to see who would stand up and call me out. Yeah, that's the ticket. :D

haha.

I was gonna mention that. If you can't pass that shooting test I really don't want you anywhere near a gun! Stick to plastic forks.

[David L. Gary]

Just take the Utah state class and you do not have to shoot at all. A friend of mine lives in Denton and gives this class. It is good in Texas and most other states. PM me for more info. :D

[Casper]

Mah hero!

So you shoot actual 445s out of that DW yet? I'm curious what you think.

[That_Is_My_El_Camino]

So you shoot actual 445s out of that DW yet? I'm curious what you think.Fuck yes, dude! I bought 500 pieces of new Starline brass and 1,000 bulk Winchester 240 grain SJHPs, and a few pounds of H110. What I think is, "Booooom!" and "Ouch!" Niiiiice, big fireballs and blast, and plenty of recoil.

240 grains @ 1850 fps = 1,800 foot-pounds of energy :eek: :D

A few cylinders of that crap, and the back of my hand between my thumb and index finger is red and sore.

[Mustangman_2000]

I'm also thinking of getting my CHL in the near future.

This is where I'm taking the class. http://mychlcom.startlogic.com/index.html
