• Shoot a minimum of three (3) qualifying shoots per calendar year, scheduled on at least two separate days, with a minimum 60 days between scheduled day shoots. Of these three (3), there will be one mandatory “low light” shoot which may be combined with a day shoot. Two (2) day shoots shall not be completed on the same date.
• These qualifying shoots will be administered by an approved firearms instructor. Firearm/Red Cards expire every year on December 31st, Firearm Guards must have all annual training requirements (shoots) completed prior to October 1st and submitted to Professional Licensing no later than December 31st.
