What is required in the live fire test?
|
To begin with, it is a
basic firearms proficiency test - not a requirement that
you demonstrate expert-level accuracy. Don't fret this too much.
You will be receiving patient one-on-one attention from your
instructor.
Can you load the gun, fire
it, hit the target, reload it, and do it safely?
That's what we're looking for. |

More specifically, for handguns with
capacities of (6) rounds or greater you must fire 30 rounds at
three distances: 3, 5, and 7 yards.
For handguns with capacities of less
than (6) rounds you must fire 25 rounds at three distances. |
Per the Nevada Sheriff's and Chief's Association (NSCA)

More about the B-27
silhouette targets
|
B-27s
are very large targets - 23" wide x 45" tall.
|
|
You will be firing from
a distance of no more than 21 feet, which is the length of a
full size, crew cab, long bed, Ford, Chevy, or Dodge pickup
truck from
bumper to bumper.
No worries! You will do
just fine! We are here to help you improve your skill and
score, not to simply act as passive scorekeepers.
Plus, you will go through a warm-up
training & practice session before you
fire for your official qualification test. We take the
time to work with each and every student. Remember, we don't run
an
"assembly line" training
school. |
