Question for Florida CCP holders

[g00n24]

I am filling out the application right now and I came to the question asking about firearm training/classes. It says I can show evidence that I have participated in a firearms competition and that will suffice (instead of paying for a class). Here's the question?
Have any of you guys sent in proof that you compete in competitions instead of taking a class? And what did you send them to show proof?
I am a member of USPSA and a certified RO so I don't know if a copy of my RO card and USPSA card would work for them or what. I plan on calling their office to ask when I get a chance, I just figured hearing from what you guys did would be just as good.
Also, how long did you wait to get your CCP?

I used my 20 year old Colorado Hunter Safety Class card. (8 hr.class- no shooting) so I'll bet your RO certification will work, but like you said, call first.

I applied around 5 years ago and it took a little less than 2 months.

Can't answer about your qualifications but will say I received my Florida permit in less that 1 month. I think somewhere around 17 days or so. Received it about 10 months ago. This is for an out of state applicant. I've heard the out of state applicants receive their permits much quicker than if you lived in Florida.

I live in Florida and I got my CWP in 6 days. Any kind of certification in firearms or if you served in the military a DD214 will satisfy the requirement.

The wife sent in a copy of her NRA basic class certificate, she received her license in 7 days from date of mailing it in.

My wife and I used copies of our NRA basic pistol class certification. I would imaging your RO certification would be more than enough proof.

Just curious, why did you decide to go with Florida instead of Utah?

No real thought process went into it. However, if you check out the reciprocity map on usacarry.com they have New Mexico and Kansas not being honored with an out-of-state Utah permit, but they are honored with a Florida permit.
