Classroom Training + Live-Fire Qualification

Students must achieve a minimum score of 80% on the written examination.
During the live-fire portion, students will receive instruction and be evaluated on essential firearm-handling skills such as safe loading and unloading, range safety, firearm condition checks, dry-fire procedures, target acquisition, drawing and re-holstering, and safely discharging a firearm.
The required shooting assessment consists of five rounds fired at an 11″ × 25.5″ target from four yards, with a minimum passing score of 80%.
