The qualifying shoot will be conducted after the classroom segments are complete. We will be shooting 20 rounds at an 8 inch circle at a distance of 45 feet. 16 out of 20 rounds must land within a 6 inch circumference. I recommend bringing a minimum of 300 rounds with your Pistol. All firearms and ammunition will be checked in and stored by us.
