Also i have submitted application and fingerprints the week before. I am submitting the form the same day. Anyone know how long recently it has been taking to get your LTC in hand?

See? It wasn't so bad after all, was it? And CONGRATULATIONS! The length of time you'll get the license depends on how much is in your file(arrests, convictions, dismissals, etc.)

Use your time on each string of fire and don't RUSH! Just remember the basics for EACH round fired, Sight Picture, breath control, trigger squeeze. Remember, 20 rounds are at 3 yards which is 100 of the 175 points you need. Another 20 are at 7 yards for another 100 points. Only students I have seen that could not get to the 175 were the ones that were shooting the pistol for the FIRST time. If you have been shooting for a year approximately monthly, you should do fine.

Check back in after the class and let us know how you did.

AFTER you get your plastic, then it is time to get more range time and start thinking about continuing training.

Good luck

what distance were you shooting that target?
often times, shooting low/left (for right hand shooters) is due to poor or inconsistent grip (squeezing extra when the trigger is pulled)
