    CCW Test Shooting Qualification - How many times did you shoot?

    in Secondary Arms

    Posted

    I JUST qualified with my Springfield xd9 4" service model for the ca ccw permit.. The range day was 6 hours of classroom then you had to fire 10 rounds at center mass from 5 yards away, with 1 mag change somewhere in the middle. I ran 5 rounds through mag 1 then 5 rounds through mag 2. Had one round that was just below center mass, which was ok because requirement was to hit 8 out of 10 rounds in center mass. I will say it was the most nerve racking 10 rounds I've ever shot. Something nerve racking about having sheriffs and range masters in full gear including flak vests right behind you.

    Thank you! It has been a rough week, or I would have replied earlier.

     

    Like many Vets, I recently have had ~issues~ with the VA . . . Yesterday, 29 February, I checked into the online VA website, for my Medical Appointments.

     

    Listed under FUTURE was an Appointment for 23 February, 2016, at 1430 hours . . . I was there, that Tuesday, early, and was told I had No Appointment ! ! !

     

    I stopped myself, from going Ballistic, and listened to an Extremely Calm Iraqi Vet . . . he helped immensely, the Appointment was for 7 March, @ 1300 hours . . . ~Right~

    There is much more to that story, but I spent 2 1/2 hours on the phone, and another 1/2 hour writing three different ~Secure Messages~ to the needed peoples in charge of my health, saying I am electing to use Outside Resources, due to the Violation of No More than 30 days wait, for Appointments.

     

    Its a Right (Starboard, for any Navy members) Hip Replacement, and well, gee, it is a swell Pain, it is, Humor me, please ! ! !

     

    My long gun Shoulder is still healing from a Rotator Cuff surgery, and I sure would like to pop some primers, to blow off some steam !

     

    Well, so much for now, again, thanks for the Welcome, I do plan to get regular into this Forum . . . my last forum home is being over run by Progressive members in Pink suits, and I have been told I am a Curmudgeon . . . and a Dinosaur, Oh, Gee, my feelings have been hurt!

    Welcome Phillip. Sorry to hear about your VA troubles but sadly it seems that's "normal" for them. Keep your chin up and you socks dry!
