The new book is nice. They changed some of the questions on the test and did not provide a new answer key, nor did they notify us about the changes. Our last class noted the different questions when we were going over the test at the end of the second day. We schedule sixteen hours for the class, and use almost every minute. We schedule three hours for the range and two hours for the students to handle firearms, dryfire, etc. At least one hour is spend the second day doing a review from the previous week. I know this is much more than the NRA calls for, we've never had a complaint and the students really seem to appreciate the attention to detail and time the instructors will spend with them. We use two instructors in the classroom and up to five on the range. We’ve been teaching the course now for over eight years. The new book is nice.
