1. 5 rounds from behind the barricade at the 25 yard line in 15 seconds.
(this is the only time the barricade can be used to brace on if desired)
2. 5 rounds from the 15 yard line in 10 seconds.
3. 15 rounds from the 7 yard line, 3 turns of 8 seconds each.
Fix the weapon the way you want it and holster after each turn; i.e., each 5 round turn. If you're using a semi-auto that holds 15 rounds, you don't have to reload, but otherwise . . . you're on your own.
4. 10 rounds from the 3 yard line, 2 turns of 8 seconds each.
One-handed only; i.e., on the first turn, draw and fire 5 with the strong hand only, then transfer the weapon to the other hand and be ready to fire the next 5 with that hand only. Again, you may or may not have to reload depending on the weapon you're using.
5. 15 rounds from the 7 yard line in 25 seconds, one turn of the target.
Semi-autos can only have 5 rounds in each magazine, speed loaders can have 6 rounds in them, but you can only fire 5 before reloading, so in addition to firing 15 rounds in that 25 seconds, you have to reload twice, or as they call it "complete a combat load" twice.
So, it's a little more difficult qualification than the CHL proficiency test. The other fly in the ointment is that the CHL test only requires a score of 70 to pass. The police course minimum passing score is 80. And the only concession for us old retirees was that on that final 15 rounds, if using a semi-auto, we could load 7 & 8 in two magazines instead of 5 each in three magazines, so only had to reload once.
First time I tried this course with the revolver without knowing what to expect, I only scored 83.2 and had 5 rounds left over; didn't reload fast enough on that final 15 (I was only putting 5 in the speed loaders instead of 6 and dumping a live round each time which is recommended). And first time with the Sig P229, I only scored 92.4, so I hope to do better next month.
