In Austin, CHL Instructors shoot on turning targets. The shooting test has never changed since 1995. The "string of fire" is dictated by the presentation of the target. You see an "edge" and then the face is presented for a specified time based upon where you are in the course of fire. The 1-Shot exercise at 3 yards provides for a 2 second presentation, 5 times. The 1-Shot exercise at 7 yards is a 3 second presentation, 5 times. Most ranges do not have turning targets, so the instructor must develop a method for the shooter to pause between "target presentations". Most instructors ask shooters to lower the gun slightly, approximately 20 degrees, between each string of fire: 1 shot, 2 shots, 3 shots or 5 shots.
