I'm wondering if the requirement is to complete the entire training and pass the exam, but does it specify the entire class in one sitting?
No problem splitting the range an classroom portion of the course over two or more days. In fact, you don't even have to use the same instructor. That's why the CHL-100 has separate spots for the range and classroom.

Re: Senior Citizens - opinions requested

I've had quite a number of elderly folks in my classes, but most of them had no health issues of which I am aware. The oldest was an 86 year old woman who was exhausted by the end of the 10 hour class. She had to shoot the course twice, primarily because her husband bought her a gun that was too small.

You don't have to shoot and take the classroom portion of course on the same day. Perhaps you can find an instructor who will let him shoot first, them come to class on another day. If they are in the Houston area, I'll be happy to do that if it will help. In fact, I can do the range portion of the course, give them a CHL-100 for the range, then they can take the class elsewhere if they prefer.
