*beep* fumbling..I wouldn't say it is "hard" but it is good to get your game up because you will stress yourself out and not perform as you do on your own. The timer hates everyone.
What does it mean by "cover"? Physically take cover or just hold on target?Sorry for the formatting...

How difficult is the live fire portion of the Wear and Carry. is the 70% required so easy anyone who has picked up a pistol can pass or should I brush up on my skills before the class?
*****Never hurts to practice this very important skill that may one day be called upon to save your life and that of others. Here is another reason: those that have a CCW need to be very familiar with their weapon as in times of stress you will revert back to your training and have a LOT of adrenaline going through you to make things more difficult. We recommend (I teach CCW and other classes) a minimum of 2000 rounds of live fire practice per year with your carry gun - it really needs to become an extension of your arm and drawing and firing needs to be smooth and fast with decent combat accuracy. You need to practice in a variety of clothing that you may be using for concealment, Winter as well as more temperate climates, etc.. as that will change in some respects how you draw the weapon in many cases.
Anyway, bottom line is don't make the mistake of assuming that just because you "pass" that you will be able to efficiently and effectively draw, point, and shoot your weapon if God forbid you actually have to *really* use it one day, unless you practice regularly.
Yeah, in the Before Rona times I went out to the range every other week to practice to put at least 50 (often 100) rounds down range with my "home defense" guns and made an effort to do the USPSA matches every couple months at Machine gun nest when they were doing them. I'm almost certainly going to get back to the habit of making it to the range a couple times a month.*****Never hurts to practice this very important skill that may one day be called upon to save your life and that of others.

Noted, the reason I asked was the fact that I'm aware I'm probably not going to be as sharp as I once was since i really haven't done much in the last 6 months, and just didn't want to make a fool of myself in the class.Anyway, bottom line is don't make the mistake of assuming that just because you "pass" that you will be able to efficiently and effectively draw, point, and shoot your weapon if God forbid you actually have to *really* use it one day, unless you practice regularly.

The fear of making a fool of yourself is what seems to get students the worst cases of nerves. Many fear failing a qual, having to retake a class or spend more money, but the biggest thing seems to be fear of humiliation in front of their peers.Yeah, in the Before Rona times I went out to the range every other week to practice to put at least 50 (often 100) rounds down range with my "home defense" guns and made an effort to do the USPSA matches every couple months at Machine gun nest when they were doing them.

Yup, it should be about the student and delivering the appropriate training.The fear of making a fool of yourself is what seems to get students the worst cases of nerves. Many fear failing a qual, having to retake a class or spend more money, but the biggest thing seems to be fear of humiliation in front of their peers.
In a level one class, my opinion (feel free to differ) is that safety comes first. After that, an instructor should attempt to run the class in such a way that applies the least stress to a student in order to achieve the best results. People don't retain information well under stress. In higher level courses, one can pump up the adrenaline more but entry level students may have never drawn from a holster period, let alone under time pressure.
