The target shall be scored utilizing the 5, 4, 3 scoring diagrams in the upper left-hand corner.

If You fail the shooting test you have up-to two more attempts. However, in some cases KSA will require a refresher session with a Range Safety Officer to get you on target. There is an additional $15.00 fee. After the session, you will be able to take the test again, possibly on the same day as the class. If you fail a second time you will be required to take a 2-hour NRA Basic Pistol for a fee of $40.00. This short course will get you on target.
