Yep, I think the 2-year thing is correct for "original" students but is 6 months for renewals. And, yea, the 1-dayers can be semi-tough on both the students and the instructor, but, like El Gato sez, that seems to be the way most folks want to do it. Got one to do that way tomorrow in fact, then again on Sunday Sept. 18.
I typically start the classroom portion at 8:30 and give "original" students an hour for lunch, during which I deal with "renewal only" students (who leave early to mid-afternoon). DCSA usually has pizza delivered so we can carry on through the evening and finish up the classroom portion around 7:30. Indoor shooting portion is less than 40' away from classroom and done promptly (2 at a time) for those who are ready to step up to the line and put their 50 rounds onto The Blue Amazon Man with no warm-up.
Those who want/need a little coaching and/or practice first can schedule a time for $40 to come back for completion on another day. Pure newbies are handled in a similar manner, but with more classroom and trigger time. more details at

IIRC, Troopers may have to shoot a 90% (same as instructors). While CHLers only 70%.
In my not-so-humble opinion, I think the Legislature set it up so that 1/2 blind little 80-year old ladies could pass. If someone can't - especially after 3 chances - they don't need to get out of their house with one!
