As we all know shooting is a perishable skill. I was unemployed for six months and to save money did not shoot much than attending the CHL Instructors shooting qualification it really showed. The only way to keep your skills up is to practice.

Sounds like you are already renewing however someone else reading the above posts might be confused. Yes, after Sept 1st you still have to renew prior to your renewal date however it will be done online with no shooting required. If you sign up to renew before Sept 1st you will still need to take the class and shoot.
Remember shooting is fun. When shooting for a CHL qualification it's important to have fun.

Same thing if you are planning to get your first CHL and attend the 4+ class. Do not do the State application before Sept 1st or you still need to do the 10 hour class. When the application is submitted before Sept 1st you are still under the old laws.
