A total of 50 shots are fired during the range qualification test. A score of 70% or greater is required to pass, or 175 points out of a possible 250 points. Easy enough...

The target used is a B-27 target, which is a human-shaped silhouette target that measures 45" high and 24" wide. All shooting is from the "ready position" where your firearm is already in a position to fire. You do not need a holster. A second magazine may be helpful but is not required.

• Shots within the 8 ring  are 5 points.
• Shots within the 7 ring and outside the 8 ring are 4 points.
• Shots outside the 7 ring and still on the silhouette are 3 points.
• Shots in the tan area and misses are 0 points.
