There are $65 el cheapo classes and there are over $125 ritzy classes. The el cheapo classes typically require you to take care of your photographs on your own and arrange with the police for your fingerprint on your own. The ritzy classes should include professional photos and fingerprints on the day of the class. These professionals should ensure that your application won't get hung up on a bad photo nor fingerprint. This will prevent any further delays to your application.

I went to a ritzy class and I recommend it. The instructor was informative and interesting. They stressed range safety and they had real police officers take care of your pictures and/or fingerprints. They made sure that I filled out my paperwork correctly, to avoid any additional delays. I went to the DFW gun range: http://www.dfwgun.com/ . The Bullet Trap in Plano has a class, but last time I checked, the fingerprints were done on a different day than the class day. This is inconvenient for the student. If you pay ritzy class prices, you should get all the conveniences of a ritzy class, so that's why I did not go with the Bullet Trap. I did not go with an el cheapo class because I wanted all the conveniences of a ritzy class. Plus, none of the el cheapo classes in town had any openings for months and I didn't want to wait months to take my class, in addition to the months it takes for the CHL to be approved.
