Yep, my instructor was very clear on that part, that his course was almost entirely designed by him with little guidance from the state. He stressed that he was not a lawyer, and that we needed to read the law ourselves. We were all given copies of the relevant parts of the law.
Prior to taking the course I was worried that, because of the exceptionally cold and snowy weather we've had this winter I hadn't been to the range since October and had concerns about being rusty for the shooting portion. So I went to an indoor range and asked for the target you need to qualify with, he pulls out this gigantic silhouette roughly the size of a barn door! Took 100 shots at it from 10 yards (the maximum distance in the qualifying) and I don't think I missed it once though I didn't count the holes. There was certainly no reason to worry, though some people in my class did just barely pass. I have a feeling some of them had never fired a gun before, one guy held his support hand thumb behind the slide and had to have it bandaged up to stop the bleeding...
