Of those renewals & by experience. Do the CHL holders that actually carry on a regular basis practice & train regularly?

Even w/ these examples I still think most CHL holders shoot at least enough to stay proficent. My Mother loves to shoot & never misses an opportunity to go to the range for practice at targets or practical training. We give commands to the cardboard. I stand behind her & am the verbal part of the BG in front of her. She likes that part too.
OTOH, My wife will never remind me as we go to bed Friday night, now remember tomorrow is Sat. & we have not been to the range this week. :cry: :oops: But she still shoots enough to remain proficient. :thumbsup:

Do any of you know CHL holders who carry but seldom shoot?

The instructor I go to is also a friend. I have sat through several classes w/ folks that I have taught to shoot & prepared for the class. He puts me to work setting up the range when I am there. On one such occassion there was a VietNaim combat Vet there. (I knew him pretty well too & was astounded) He laughed about not having shot his weapon since last qualifying nor had it been cleaned since then either. He does not carry on any regular basis though. About half way through the seven yd station it would not go into battery & he had to push the slide home every round. Instructor told him if he could not meet the time limits he would have to come back & shoot again. Still qualified.
