Scoring for the test goes as such: A total of 50 yards are shot with the max point for each round being 5 points. Max score is 250 and a minimum to pass is 175. Shots to the X ring, outer ring, 8&9 ring count as maximum points (5). A hit to the 7 rind is worth 4 points. Anything else in the green is 3 points. If a shot is not found or on the paper but not touching the green, it counts as 0 points. Line breaks count towards the higher value.

@buisyman 2 года назад

Good solid score. The lowest I've ever shot is around the 243 mark when I first started carrying for work. Now I generally shoot a 250. I noticed this guy shoots a little to the left. Common problem for right handers. Has to do, most of the time, with his trigger pull.

@CraigSummers 2 года назад

Shooting left has to do with your support hand (left hand) not gripping the pistol hard enough. Since you can shoot a 250, I would encourage you to start shooting drills against the shot timer. Completely different animal

@buisyman 2 года назад

@@CraigSummers Sorry, but I must disagree. With me it was always my trigger pull. I started shooting long guns when I was 4. My dad taught me everything I needed to know about shooting them. We never owned a handgun because my dad never saw any need for one. These days, because of my job, I own4 handguns of different calibers including a compact 9. After practicing (dry firing) my trigger pull, the problem went away. I should probably mention that I'm left handed. the only time I shoot either to the left or the right is when I want to. while grip is important, as you have said, trigger pull can be equally important. I've completed every single shooting drill with handguns and long guns that the government wanted to put me through.

@CraigSummers 2 года назад

@@buisyman Ive trained over 200 people last year alone. All brand new gun owners. The support hand is usually the culprit. The gun always takes the path of least resistance

@handled99 10 месяцев назад

@@buisymanI am also a professional end user, who has high level tactical training. That's all I'll say because I dont want to doxx myself. But I agree. Trigger press is the master. The student in this video was even shooting fast. Grip becomes more important for follow up shots, not that it isn't important, because it certainly is. But i can hold the gun upset down and pull the trigger with my pinky and hit it dead center. Its the trigger press. Mantis X 10 elite helps.

@OJSills-hd4nn 3 года назад

@@Uturn831 Part of the point, is what is missing in the video....each shot sequence is timed, which induces stress. In this demonstration the instructor isn't telling the student how many rounds to shoot in each sequence, which for most good shooters is not significant. Additionally, depending on the loadout, the user may have to exchange a magazine within the time frame, which adds more stress. You're demonstrating proficiency with shooting, handling of recoil, loading and reloading, clearing a malfunction if one occurs, all within the time allotted and in a safe manner. This is not a live fire exercise meant to simulate a real world situation in which you would defend yourself or someone else. It is a demonstration of proficiency in all the above areas. If you're seeking something more life-like, look out for some tactical courses that have you shooting while moving, under, over or around obstacles, at targets that slide left-right, front-back. Even in those courses, you'll shoot a course of fire to demonstrate basic safety and proficiency. Take care all and be safe! www.bcsgunclass.com

In a lot of states, Military personnel (Active duty) and Veterans do not have to shoot if they can provide a copy of their range training card or qualifications to TX DPS. There are also classes of Corrections officers/jailers, etc., that do not have to shoot if it is a part of their job duties and they receive training in which they demonstrate proficiency as a part of the job qualifications. By your name on here "Army truth" I figure you fit in the first category I mentioned? www.bcsgunclass.com

@MrDlt123 3 года назад

@@OJSills-hd4nn Just want to point out that you have to apply for the LTC within 10 years of separation, or be in the reserves/guard (e.g. maintaining proficiency) for the military weapons proficiency credit to count in Texas. I retired from the military after 24 years, was special ops, a qualified marksman on just about every weapon for which marksmanship is recognized , special operations, 5 wars, blah, blah, blah, and moved here from Virginia where I maintained a concealed carry permit for 14 straight years after I retired, and all of that meant squat. I'm comfortable shooting, so it didnt matter to me, but it may surprise some vets. TBH, I see the logic in it. In Virginia, a guy could have fired his M1 in Army training in 1941, never fired a weapon again, marched in at the ripe old age of 99 and presented his DD-214 displaying his 'proficiency.'

I've held a TX LTC (CHL) SINCE 2006. Any person unable to pass that test shouldn't be allowed in the SAME ROOM with a loaded firearm. The last time I had to qualify, my gun broke an extractor spring on the 3rd shots the instructor loaned ne his Gluck 19 ( I hate Glocks.) I still managed to shoot 246/250 with a gun I'd never laid eyes on before. My wife, with her own Glock, shot 240/250. Simply put, if you can load your own gun and can manage to make it through the test without flagging your instructor you can pass that test.
