Correct.The idea of center mass is to aim for the center.
I'm just saying to give a point to aim at. I wish I could hit the bullseye every time, but it's still satisfying if I come close. If you are just trying to hit within a big square, circle or oval without thinking of hitting center, chances of missing are heightened.Correct.
I don't know how many people I've taught to aim for the center using the blank back side of a large, square bullseye target...then turned the target around to show them that most or all their shots were in the black.
For novices, a bullseye is a distraction.
For advanced shooters, the best scores on a bullseye target are achieved with a sub-six hold, a technique with absolutely zero utility for self defense situations.
I've been in several LTC classes where folks who failed the shooting portion were allowed a re-shoot. That's not officially a practice run but in practice it turns out to be.I don’t think the LTC course has a practice round of shooting before the 50 rounds of qual.
Having said all that, seems more of a dick measuring contest going on than anything else.
I took my Texas LTC qualification in 2015. We were told if we didn't pass, after a certain amount of time (can't remember rightly how long), we can take it again. I had practiced on my own before hand, and certainly scored higher when I wasn't under pressure, but I still passed well above what was needed.I've been in several LTC classes where folks who failed the shooting portion were allowed a re-shoot.

To folks with more experience than me - Do LTC classes rarely/routinely/always allow a second chance on the shooting test?

i don’t see why anyone would care what target an instructor chooses to use for their own class.
Lol its just the ltc course. Ray charles could pass the qual shoot. These tactiqueer ultra instructors are so over the top with everything.
Exactly.I've always held that you should practice what you'll be tested on. The idea behind the range qualifications is can you hit the target with a certain degree of proficiency, not to make everyone a sharpshooter.
When my best friend and I went to take the course and qualify, we laughed so hard we almost fell down. We could have thrown empty beer cans and hit the targets enough to qualify.Lol its just the ltc course. Ray charles could pass the qual shoot.

The very first time I took the test, back in the 1990s, there was a lady with a cheap revolver who failed. I lent her a Glock and got the range to give me a little dry-fire space so I could work with her. After 10 minutes of basic instruction and some dry-fire, she passed just fine on the second try.The only people I've seen not pass first try were ejected due to being safety hazards

That was back when the license was a new thing and some people didn't know what to expect. IIRC, about a half dozen failed on the first try. Only one failed on the second and couldn't complete his paperwork that day.
if he is offering his own training curriculum and chooses to use a different one then I just don’t see what difference it would make. People will either be able to hit what they aim at or they won’t.That's certainly true. However, I can see validity in having them shoot the same target they'll be shooting to qualify. Remember - this isn't a shooting course - it's a course designed to qualify you to pass the exam, written and practical.
