range test

[bpo157]

Did anyone take or know what the range test is for a RI LTC. I know you use the army L target. How many yards are you away from the target and how many rounds do you shoot. Thanks

25 yards, three strings of 10 rounds, 10 minute limit per string, 70% required to pass.

The Army L target is huge - if all you shots hit the outer edge of a 2ft diameter (approx) circle you'll pass. If you are fortunate enough to be approved, the permit will list the caliber you took the range test with as that is the upper limit of what you can carry.

I can give this test at Hopkinton ($10 donation to the club requested, but if you tell me you're broke, I'll do it for free), and it's also available from the staff at the American Firearms School.

Yup, Rob is correct. The Army L target is huge. All you really need to do is keep it on the paper.

It helps to actually READ the requirements before applying....
