Commence Fire CHLcourse qualifications
Hey everyone,
I'm taking the CHL course at Commence Fire this weekend and was wondering what distance they have you shoot at the range to qualify? I'm guessing somewhere between 5-7 yards does that sound reasonable? I ask solely out of curiosity I don't think I or my girlfriend will have any trouble with it as we've been shooting pistols for over a year pretty regularly now.
Thanks!

^ I really don't know - I'm a frequent flier at their classes, but I unfortunately did not do my Ohio-CHL there.
Send an e-mail to them or give them a quick call. Their staff is always friendly and helpful.

5-7 yards is reasonable. any more is unreasonable for whole class.

I took my CHL class there and you're going to the right place. The range portion is at around 15' with a full size silhouette target. Instructor ratio is around 2:1 and they are very experienced. The classroom portion is even more informative and necessary.... You'll see after you attend. Years later I still attend their classes and range sessions. Well worth it

Thanks Atila! I figured it was right around there. I hear nothing but good things about commence fire and I've been researching these classes for about a year now.

Re: Commence Fire CHLcourse qualifications
They must do things a little differently these days because we tested at multiple distances out to 30' and even incorporated one handed shots strong and weak handed. I passed with flying colors and so did my girl who actually outshot me this time. Another glowing recommendation for commence fire from us. I look forward to the next class i can attend.

CFTA still does multiple distances for qualification 12', 21' then out to 30' (50 rounds - 80% should be in the scoring zone on an OPOTA style silhouette target )djwiteboi wrote:They must do things a little differently these days because we tested at multiple distances out to 30' and even incorporated one handed shots strong and weak handed.
