Tejasmed - I hate to hear how poorly you were treated in your class.

First - there is no 10 round requirement. In the DPS prescribed course of fire, you load 4, 5, or 6 rounds - never 10.

Also, the course of fire should have been thoroughly explained to you before shooting began.

You did not say where you are located, but, if you are close to Ft Worth, I will gladly qualify you on the range and issue your CHL-100 for the range qualification. One on one - no embarassment.

The course of fire is NOT up to the discretion of the instructor - it is prescribed by DPS; and what you described does not meet the requirements.

How did you feel about the guy next to you on the line when you were scanning left and right with a loaded firearm? The great majority of initial CHL students are not very experienced with firearms. This whole scenario just sounds like bad things waiting to happen.

The B27 is the current target required by DPS.

INSTRUCTOR UPDATE

Effective January 1, 2006, all CHL qualifications will be conducted using a B-27 target, therefore please discontinue using the old TX-PT targets. The TX-PT targets are no longer acceptable. This information was provided at the new CHL Instructor School in August 2005 and the CHL Renewal School held in 2005 and 2006.
