One guy had trouble qualifying with his .45. I lent him my Berreta .22 for the second try, and he did much better.

I used my Ruger Mark II Target and I was very glad I did. Holding 18 out of 20 inside 6" at 45' is not a gimme.

Yep. The NRA qualification is not a given like the CHL qual is for most folks. Gets even more interesting at an outdoor range in the wind.

Candidate will shoot any gun of their choice, regardless of action, sights or
caliber, at a blank 9 inch diameter paper target at a distance of 15 yards.

Targets will be broken into two ten-shot targets or four five-shot targets. Three
points will be given for each scoring hit. In order for a hit to count, it must fall
inside a ½” border from the edge of the plate. Shots that break the edge of the
½” border will count as hits. All Scoring hits on a target must be within a 6” or
