Gold Shooter
The standard others train for.

Your path to Gold
- Start with a class: Learn to Shoot, the 2-hour CCW lesson, or a private lesson with us.
- Pass the Bronze test: untimed, 3 to 7 yards, 12 of 15 hits. You earn your Bronze certificate.
- Keep training: earn 3 lesson credits after Bronze (a 1-hour lesson counts 1, a 2-hour lesson counts 2) and wait at least 30 days.
- Pass the Silver test: timed, out to 10 yards, 20 of 25 hits, plus a reload and malfunction clear. You earn your Silver certificate.
- Go further: earn 6 more credits after Silver and wait at least 90 days.
- Pass the Gold test: brisk timed drills, each hand alone, 27 of 30 hits. You earn a numbered Gold certificate and a Gold Shooter T-shirt.
- Stay Gold: re-test once a year (27 of 30) to keep your Gold current.
Who can start: the Bronze test is open to Learn to Shoot, concealed carry (CCW) and private lesson students.
