AFAIN there is not a formal marksmanship test, just that the instructor needs to certify that you can safely handle and shoot a gun. In the class I took we had to load the gun and fire it a few times. We brought 50 rounds but the class was pretty full so I don't think anyone got off more than 20 or 30 rounds in the time allotted. The best in the class shot the middle out of the target, a 25yard pistol target at maybe 5 yards, some like me spread it out a bit more a and a few had a pretty even spread of holes over all the target. I think is was 20 by 24 something inch. One lady, with I think a derringer, never hit the target, but I think she still passed.
