Who allows warm up or practice shots prior to the shooting proficiency ? I recall when I took my original class, our instructor telling us it had to be cold shots, no warm up shots.

If you need a warm up shot to hit the silhouette of a 300 lb man at 3 yards, you may want to get in a little more range time.

The first 20 rounds are ALL warm-up shots.

My thoughts exactly ! Had a friend (student) mention to me that his best friend also took a class, but they were allowed warm up shots prior to the proficiency and I thought it odd. Wasn't sure if anyone else allowed it.

I don't think the CHL rules have anything to say about that, so in the mode of "what's not prohibited is allowed", sure - why not? I would, though, charge a nominal fee (Say $5-10 extra) for the extra cardboard target.

at DPS Chl Class in 95' I think they had us shoot 5 rounds at the small silhouette to start..

My classes are often quite small so if someone has a new gun, or they're using my loaner, or if they just feel that a few practice rounds would put them at ease for the test (and it won't otherwise disrupt the normal flow of things), I don't have a problem with it. I don't charge anything extra because I usually just grab a target frame with a used B27 still on it.

People are usually satisfied with half a dozen rounds or so. And we only do it at the 3-yard line. Fills them with confidence being that accurate with their test shots.

With a larger group, I tend to stick to the program because it would slow things down for everyone else.

Thanx guys !!!

This, although I've offered many times, never had any takers.

As stated the first 20 shots are warm up shots.
