I've not heard good things about the instructors at Gunsafe acadamy.

Our very own Rod at Moeller Arms is nearby in LaVista.

Get over to Lincoln and take Chris Z's class if you can. He's an NFOA member and a great instructor.

Any 1  hear good things about Joe Fowler apex defense ?
I was reading on line about CHP  course qualifications  in Nebraska
I was wondering  how they score, does it have to be dead center
on target or is it a matter of proving yourself competent???

11/26/2014 10am

I know I still need practice
 
1 yard     6  round   1 fc
3 yards  12  rounds 3 fc
5 yards   6   rounds 1 fc
7 yards   6   rounds 1 fc

I know I still need practice
 

The almost headshot was extra round after I finished my first drill

Anything in the gray of the FBI Q target counts.  Need ONLY 21/30 to pass .... You'd be fine ... in fact, I think a blind guy facing the other direction can pass it .... I've never had a student fail

Y'know, FWIW, I've actually tried it with both eyes closed and been able to shoot passing range qualification scores.   The 3ft, 9ft, and 15ft distances go pretty well; 21ft gets dicier.

Did it just to be able to tell worried Concealed Handgun Class students that the range qualification portion of the course is quite doable.   And not to worry.

With some 400+ students now past the portals, I've likewise never had a student fail the range qualification portion.  Had one person shoot a 70 once, which--of course--is still minimum passing.

Now---I've had some wild, weird, and wooly things occur at the range during the qualification portion.   And so has every other CHP instructor that I've talked to.

And that's just the instructors.  Don't even get started about the students.  :)

Yes.

But All of That should probably remain a professional secret.

5 yards    6  rounds 1 fc
7 yards    6  rounds 1 fc

Any time limit?

Looking at the target, I think you did just fine. You shouldn't have to shoot minute of angle, just minute of bad guy.

I took a class taught by Chris Zeeb in Omaha a few years ago and I don't think you'll find a better teacher.

The least expensive I've seen is Twoswords Training.  $80 for the CHP class.  I have no experience with this instructor, but if the class is just something you have to do to buy your right to bear arms I suppose cost is all that matters.  Seems like this class is in Lincoln, but he might have other locations.

Your target looks better than mine looked.  But since then just from practicing on my own I can get all or most of my shots on a 9" pie plate at 50', which doesn't make me an expert but should be adequate.

No official timing requirements from the Nebraska State Patrol.

And generally none from the instructor.

However, it does get exasperating, waiting for the Guy Who Brought the Ruger Single Six .22LR to take off his gloves each time, drop them on the ground, bend over to pick them up, drop them again, start pushing out the empty .22 cases with the pushrod, fail to line up the cylinder with the pushrod, fumble in his pocket for some fresh .22 rounds, drop some of them, point the handgun uprange while bending over.........put his gloves back on, etc., etc.   All of this in 20 degree weather with a 20 mph NW wind, gusts to 35 mph.......The rest of the Line patiently standing there at the Ready Position, wondering what the heck is going on.........

Not to mention those Folks who bring a 5-shot snubbie revolver to a shooting program based on........SIX shots per string.

Then there are those folks who show up with a .454Casull and blow huge holes in the  targets at the 3ft. line............

And those Incredibly Cheery Folks who show up with a Great Big Smile and announce, "I've got this brand new gun....NEVER SHOT IT BEFORE!!!!"

But it finally all gets done and Folks go home with their Certificates of Completion.   And all are Happy.

All with no timing requirements.


It's Fun.
