Hitting outside of the silhouette is worth 0 points; hitting inside the silhouette but outside of the rings is worth 3 points; hitting in the 7 ring is worth 4 points; and hitting in the 8,9, or 10 ring (x) is worth 5 points. You must get 175 points out of a possible 250 points total to pass. Each shot in the real exam and simulator will be followed by a quick rest and reset (and a reload if needed).

What to wear to your LTC Shooting Exam

Notes

You can bring any legal handgun that is .22 caliber or larger to shoot with. It is recommended to shoot with something you are already familiar with or a lower caliber pistol like a .22, 9MM, or .45 Caliber. A semi-Automatic is preferred, but a revolver is also adequate.

If you do not have a firearm please let the instructor know ahead of time. You will need to rent one. The fee for this is typically $10 + the cost of ammo.
