Good choice you won't be disappointed (aside from the cost of ammo). I won one last year and it is tonnes of fun to shoot.

Good to hear!! I was able to find one in 7.62x39 so hopefully a little cheaper on ammo.

Is there a specific time of day they update the website? If I check at 9am and there’s no update is that it for the day? Or are they constantly updating throughout the day?

Constantly updating. I check so many times a day I lose count. ;o)

BC - for my wife

Received Feb 22
May 5, credit card charged
expect 45 days to complete

She did her course in November but was a bit lazy to mail in the form, since I have had my license forever but I said heck, get your own, she is pretty good, I taught her well - she shoots better than me, her eye sight is amazing, the course was a breeze, she achieved full points, first in class. Girls.
