Thanks for your reply and info!
Are the qualifications:
1. Static shooting
or
2. Dynamic among various targets?
Its static, all quals are based on a group on line at x distance. Volume of people need to get done!

Wow, I had no idea what I'd unleash in posting this thread!I wasn't offended and I doubt that anyone else was. We've just pointed to the danger of readily accepting"common sense" legislation and how easy it is for the sensible among us to accept yet another infringement. After all, we're all experienced gun handlers. Getting a passing grade wouldn't be all that difficult for the gunnies among us.
But, then what about the old man living alone on an isolated dirt road who just wants a revolver for his nightstand? Or the student nurse who doesn't have time or money for training and practice, but doesn't feel very safe at night after getting the attention of a neighborhood ruffian who promised to give her what she needs?
How long before 20/20 vision is a requirement? Or what if taking a fall in the last X number of months becomes a disqualifier? (You could stumble with a gun in your hand and hurt somebody.) Maybe a physical fitness requirement like covering the hundred yard dash in under 15 seconds. Once you start being "okay" with physical limitations...like firing a qualification course every year...the door to more requirements starts to open wider and wider.
Who determines a qualifying score? The state...or worse...the federal government. That's who...and before you know it, these will be requirements for merely owning a gun.
Death by a thousand tiny cuts.
I wish the Founders had simply written:
"The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
No room for interpretation there.

I was talking over this particular response with a friend, and agreeing with a few of the statements in it, and all of a sudden my friend and I aren't speaking any more. I have no idea what happened. I guess we differed in our opinions and now we can't be friends.
I never meant to start all this hoopla. All I wanted to say is I need more training, and describe what I'm going to do to get it. How it all got so twisted up is beyond me.
I appreciate all the responses to this, and I hope we can all still be friends.
And let's all get what training we can afford and have the time to do, so we can all be safe shooters. LOL.
The standard course is using the B-27 target is50 rounds but in the last two or 3 years they have a course,starting with officer seated in car with seatbelt on. Then officer gets out of car and using the front of the car for cover shoots two steel 9 in plates at 15 yard and then moves to the rear of the car and shoots 2 more plates at 20 yards. ..Then you run about 25 yards to a Target that is hidden behind a wall. . It's a shoot or no shoot target. If the target has a weapon you shoot.If not you don't.Each officer gets only 12 rounds to complete the course .Edit both are done day and nightThanks for your reply and info!

At least 300......lol.Mental Health Day = 300 round practice session...!!!!
Thx for the info JB!
I have seen numerous officers at different departments across the USA shoot static and do well. When they have to draw and engage multiple targets at multiple distances/angles, they fall apart.
Believe this...….he's right. The Wizard Target here proves this., then the plate is entirely missed.
I go every Sunday and I'm still mentally messed up.I can't wait to see you guys. Mental health day coming up for Millie!!! Woooooo.
What did I miss? Was there a "yawn" about my exciting class report, perhaps? LOL.You are absolutely right.
Post deleted and apologies to you.
Sorry about your Mom, and maybe I'll see you at B. Oaks soon. The Wizard is calling to you.....It's been so long since I've shot, I'm gonna need a basic class again, lol. Seriously, with all the stuff I've had going on with my mom, i haven't had the time. Maybe this weekend.....

Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of people to shoot with to do the dummy rounds, but when I do, I'll have them set it up for me. My former trainer did some of that last winter. I did a lot of low, left shooting for a long time, but I seem to have that under control, at least most of the time...lol. It can't hurt to do the dummy rounds again, though, and they're still in the range bag!Your biggest problem is going to be recoil anticipation and trigger press.
Get dummy rounds and have someone mix them up in your mag. Challenge yourself to not disturb the sight picture during and after trigger press.
The dummys will show you're anticipating the shot and pressing gun low left, where most of your shots likely go.

Thanks for responding.
Cool, if you have it (trigger press and no anticipation) under control then you should be shooting accurately.
