I thought the law required a minimum of three hours range time for the CPL course.My wife just took the class at Advanced Ranges in Burton. I put together a group of 12 people so we got a bit of a discount from their normal rates and paid $100/person (BTW, I think they offer discounts starting at groups of five). Their normal rate for the course and range time is $150 butthat also includes four hours of range time in addition to the time you will spend on the range during the course. This range time may be used before or after the actual class. I took my class from someone who I will not name and paid $110. There were tremendous differences in both the classroom portion and the range time for both.
I sat through a portion of my wife's class and found the material covered to be much more thorough. Additionally, the instructor is LE/military with a lot of real-world experience. Comparing the range times and instruction for the two courses isa joke. In my class I had only to put 30 rounds onto an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of paper. The instructor for my wife's class taught them the basics of proper stance, point shooting and a few different tactical movements. My time with gun-in-hand was about 2 minutes. My wife spent nearly 4 hours in the range at least half of which was shooting. If I knew about the additional range time and quality of instruction I would have paid the extra $40 and taken my CPL course from them as well.
