A 30 round qualification shoot will take place during this Concealed Carry Course.
You will shoot 10 rounds from a distance of 5 yards; 10 rounds from a distance of 7 yards; and 10 rounds from a distance of 10 yards at a B-27 silhouette target. To pass you must shoot with at least 70% accuracy, meaning at least 21 of 30 rounds must fall within the 16" x 22" outer (7) ring of the standard B-27 target pictured above. If you fail you must complete a basic pistol training level 2 or private instruction class before you will be allowed to re-shoot the qualification.
A FOID card is NOT required to take this class.

Although it is not required by the State of IL, Maxon Concealed Carry instructors will ask that you shoot your qualification with the firearm you intend to carry in .380ACP/.38SPL or higher caliber. We have plenty of rental guns available if you do not own something suitable.
At the end of class, after you pass your qualification shoot, you will be given a certificate of training that will need to be uploaded into your concealed carry license application on the ISPFSB website.
We also offer application assistance for a $30 fee if you need computer assistance, or just don't want to deal with the hassle.
Once you start this class we do NOT allow students to split classes, or choose from different dates to complete the training. If you fail to show we must restart your training.
