How many attempts per fiscal year does a member have to pass at the range?

• A. 6 attempts
• B. 9 attempts
• C. 12 attempts
• D. 15 attempts

Answer: (C)

Range qualification is governed by a fixed number of attempts allowed each fiscal year. Twelve attempts gives you a substantial window to practice and correct any deficiencies while keeping the qualification cycle manageable for units and scheduling. If you reach the passing score on any attempt, you’re qualified for the rest of the year. If you don’t pass after all allotted attempts, you would re-qualify in the next fiscal year and may pursue any required remedial steps.
