wild west range west ed mall pal challenge

[ian745]

hey, just curious if anyone on here has done the challenge for PAL only, not the rpal, just trying to plan, my day, i`m going in to challenge at 10am tomorrow morning, and ive gotten a few very varied responses on how long i should plan to be there, just trying to figure out roughly how long it will take?
thanks

If you're just challenging, I would expect about an hour. Maybe a bit more.

i was done in 20 mins on both and passed with flying colors its all on how long it take you to read and understand the questions

[ian745]

cool, thanks , been reading the manual like crazy, have'nt touched a firearm in ages, but just couldn't find a course i could get into, with my work schedule, fingers crossed i don't suffer a massive brain fart tomorrow..lol

[ian745]

well ,off to write my exam, hopefully the brain farts stop just long enough that i remember what i read..wish me luck..lol

if u can, you might as well get the r as well- it's almost the same questions, worded slightly differently

[ian745]

ya, ive looked into it, and im just not a handgun type of guy, i`ve rented them a few times at ranges and played around with them, are they fun, ya, but not something i see myself jumping into, i`m more for hunting, maybe down the road that`ll change, but right now, i`m having a hard enough time remembering prove and acts haha, dont wanna overload my poor brain more then it already is..lol, that and its an extra 100 that i could put into rifle fund ,lol

if you write it now, you won't have to write it again- I've been a rifle guy since69 or so- 303 brit- 8mm, but I had to write to get my att for my old army which i'd had sinc e75- I know that sounds crazy, but we were under rcmp/cp jurisdiction at the time and wouldn't issue without pal/rpal "safety course AND range membership( I later found out the good inspector was playing by his own rules) anyway, I got both and it made"sense"

well ,off to write my exam, hopefully the brain farts stop just long enough that i remember what i read..wish me luck..lol

So...how did you do?

[ian745]

got er beat, missed 2 on the written, and aced the practical, stupid double negatives..lol, but hey, i passed!!!
