They are adequate. Being able to do the photos, fingerprints and paperwork on-site is a nice touch.
As far as I am concerned CHL classes are a means to an end, just like a driving exam. You will need to do a lot of reading, thinking and practice on your own to become conversant both in shooting skills and in the law regarding deadly force. I would recommend using the CHL class to get your CHL and get professional training from a well-vetted source.

Speaking only for my own experiences at BT, everytime I have been in there to shop or shoot, the staff seems too busy to answer questions I may have or too absorbed with what they "think" you should buy rather than answer questions about products based on fact. Again these are my experiences and hopefully others may vary.

I would agree with this, however how the material is presented can make a difference when in class for 8 hours.

Good people.

I never recommend doing any business with that range. Admittedly I have no experience with their CHL class, but my other experiences with them as a customer are valid. What they did to a friend of mine was uncalled for. They have earned their hard won reputation as slimeballs.
I have taken CHL classes with Larry Gresham of Silhouette Precision Sports(aka SPS Guns) in Carrollton. I would not recomend him for a damned thing, much less CHL instruction. Too many bullshit war stories of a war he was never in, not enough book instruction, more bullshit war stories of fights he was in stateside, tales of fantastic shots he's made, etc. Finger printing is available for an extra charge. He does not offer photographs.
I have taken the CHL at DFW Gun Range. It was far better than what Gresham offered. Doug Bingham was my instructor. I learned what I needed to know. The book was covered in depth, the shooting portion was as well. A safety briefing was held before we went onto the range, once there another was given. Finger prints and photos were part of the package. It was enjoyable, and Doug was fun.
