SUMMARY:INTRO TO RIFLES
DESCRIPTION: Course: Intro to Rifles \nDate: Sept 5th \nSpace Availability: FULL \nTraining Location: Silverlake\, Los Angeles\, and Newhall\, CA \nTime: 9am – 4pm (Doors open at 8:45am. Lunch is NOT provided but there will be time to stop and grab something.) \nPrice: $250 + $35 ammo and approx. $30 in range fees.   \nRange: Oak Tree Gun Club\, Newhall\, CA \nTo Enroll: Text us at 3234929357 or click Contact and let us know you want to book available spot(s) in this Sept 5th course (or get on the waiting list in case somebody bails.) We’ll email you a 24-hour reservation for your spot(s) and all you then need to do is submit the requested contact information in a reply email and remit a $75 deposit or payment in full by PayPal\, Venmo\, or Zelle and you’re all set! \nFYI: Can’t find a course date that works for you? Let’s discuss creating a new course date that does! I am totally open to adding a new date to the calendar. \nCourse Description: \nIntro To Rifles is a super fun day that starts at 9am at our Silverlake studio where you’re introduced to 3 different rifle-types: semi-auto\, lever\, and bolt-action. We’ll be training with Marline 336 RC\, a Ruger Mini 14\, a Savage Axis II Precision in .223\, a Ruger 10-22\, and a Ruger PC 9mm Backpacker.   \nIn the morning You’ll learn how to operate\, load & unload\, hold\, aim\, and fire each one. Next\, we take a dive into bullets\, ballistics\, and the art of acquiring targets and ranging targets using both glass optics and iron sights.  \nIn the afternoon we jump in our cars and head over to Oak Tree Gun Club in Newhall\, CA and put it all into practice. We fire a total of 65 rounds from all the various rifles listed at distances up to 140 yards.  \nValue Add: The Ruger PC 9mm Backpacker is an outstanding home defense weapon. It is small and has the weight and feel of a BB gun in your hands. It fires a 9mm pistol bullet from a standard Glock pistol magazine so it has virtually no perceived recoil.  We love it for two reasons: First\, it has a long history of successful police use (in its previous 1980’s wooden stock edition)\, and second\, it is one of the few legal 9mm carbines available in California NOT classified as an “assault rifle.”  You will be receiving elements of our Carbine for Home Defense training as part of this rifle class. \nThis is a really interesting and fun day.  Come join us! \nDave Selmo

SUMMARY:"WOMEN ON TARGET" 1/2 Day Shooting Clinic
DESCRIPTION:Course: Women On Target®  1/2 Day Instructional Shooting Clinic \nDate: Sunday\, Sept 20th. \nSpace Availability: 1 spot left \nTraining Location: Silverlake\, Los Angeles\, and Newhall\, CA \nTime: 9am – 3pm (Doors open at 8:45am.) \nPrice: $125  (+ammo and range fees)  \nRange: Oak Tree Gun Club\, Newhall\, CA \nTo Enroll: Text us at 3234929357 or click Contact and let us know you want to book available spot(s) in this Sunday\, Sept 20th clinic (or get on the waiting list in case somebody bails.) We’ll email you a 24-hour reservation for your spot(s) and all you then need to do is submit the requested contact information in a reply email and remit payment in full by PayPal\, Venmo\, or Zelle and you’re all set! \nWomen On Target® 1/2 Day Shooting Clinic Description: \nFor over 25 years\, The Women On Target® Instructional Shooting Clinics have introduced thousands of women to shooting in a safe and welcoming environment. These clinics are not traditional classes – they are half- or full-day events in which women learn gun safety\, explore shooting disciplines\, refresh skills\, and meet others who share an interest in shooting sports.  Left of Center Gun School is excited to partner with Women On Target®  and host these outstanding clinics!  All participants receive a Women On Target® new shooter gift bag free of charge from the NRA. (Contents may vary.) \nWho is this clinic for?  Women who already own guns and women who do not but are curious about them.  If you own a gun\, BRING YOUR GUN and train with it.  If you are new to guns\, we’ll provide the guns and literally walk you through this entire experience! For women new to guns\, this is intended to be a low stress and super fun introduction to the whole topic of guns.  If you already own a gun\, or you are a Pistol Shooter 1 alumna\, this clinic will be an AWESOME refresher and coaching session. \nWhat is involved?  You come over to our Silverlake studio and we share a cup of coffee and have introductions all around.  Then I’ll thoroughly cover gun safety and introduce you to a variety of different handguns. I’ll show you how to hold them\, aim them\, fire them\, and be safe with them throughout it all.  After a couple hours we’ll then all head over to Oak Tree Gun Club in Newhall (35-minute drive) and have lunch at their on-site bar & grill.  After lunch it’s only a 4-minute walk over to the outdoor pistol range where you get to experience a live-fire session under my careful supervision and assistance of our all-women LOC NRA Range Safety Officers. We’ll stand right next to you and walk you through the range experience.  If you are gun owner\, we’ll give you as much autonomy over your firearm as you desire and I’ll coach you at your current skill level.  If you are brand new to guns\, we will take on as much of the burden of the gun handling experience as you want us to. For example\, do you want to load the gun yourself?  We’ll show you how and you can do it. Alternatively\, we’re happy to load them for you 🙂 \nWomen On Target® 1/2 Day Shooting Clinic FAQs \nOn behalf of myself and our Left of Center Gun School all-female NRA Range Safety Officers\, we really look forward to being your guides on this 1/2-day adventure! Space is limited so RSVP today.  \n \nCheers\, \nDavid SelmoNRA Chief Range Safety OfficerPistol/Shotgun Instructor NRA#254968225CA DOJ State Certified Pistol Instructor #356673Cell: 3234929352david@davidselmo.com

Let’s discuss creating a new course date that does! I am totally open to adding a new date to the calendar. \nCoure Description: \nPistol Shooter 1 provides firearms training for anyone who wants to learn how to safely handle and shoot a handgun\, whether or not they currently own one or ever intend to. Most of our clients have no prior experience with firearms of any kind. Our goal is to bring apolitical\, safe\, and above all fun firearms training directly to those who would not otherwise seek it from their local gun range.  \nOur pistol course is a hands-on\, boutique\, full-day experience that utilizes an array of slide action semi-automatic and revolver style handguns\, state-of-the-art laser engagement training aids\, and creative and entertaining multimedia. Completion of an optional on-line self-study component provides eligibility to qualify for a nationally recognized certification upon completing the course.  \nWe are newbie-friendly\, and start from the absolute beginning with fear mitigation. By the end of the course\, you will be able to comfortably\, safely\, and confidently operate and fire a handgun with expertise. The course culminates with a trip to the firing range where you will fire 100 rounds of ammunition with one-on-one live-fire coaching. \n     The FSC \nAt the end of the day you’ll have an opportunity to take your FSC test.  If you do not know what a Firearms Safety Certificate is\, do not worry about this yet!  You will learn about it in class. An FSC is required for registering\, purchasing\, or even borrowing a firearm in the state of California. The state fee to take the 30-question multiple choice test is $25. With a passing score of just 23 correct\, I will print and laminate your card on the spot for you. It’s valid for 5 years.   \n     Pistol Shooter 1 Course Handbook  \nAs part of your Pistol Shooter 1 course\, you will receive a 91-page handbook that has an excellent review section for the FSC. Once you have paid for the coure in full\, you are welcome to stop by our Silverlake studio and pick up your handbook ahead of time and use it to study before class. (Send me a text to coordinate your pickup.) Alternatively\, you can make an appointment with me any time in the future following your course date to take the FSC.  Just check our website calendar for my availability on any given day and then reach out to me to coordinate to stop by. It will only take you 15 minutes to take the test and 10 minute for me to make your card.  The appointment is FREE 🙂 \nCheers\, \nDave Selmo

Let’s discuss creating a new course date that does! I am totally open to adding a new date to the calendar. \n \nCourse Description \nIt’s 3AM\, and you’re abruptly woken. An unfamiliar noise has you sitting up in bed\, listening intently. The floor creaks softly outside your bedroom\, and a huge wave of adrenaline hits you at the same time you realize this is not a drill. Someone has broken in. Your heart is pounding. Your mind is racing. Now what? \nWhat To Do If Somebody Breaks In is the course you’ve been waiting for. It examines the ethical\, moral\, legal\, and strategic steps California gunowners can take for self-defense when a home invasion is in progress. The course provides three and a half hours of information vital for anyone who currently keeps or intends to keep a gun in their home.  \nWhat To Do If Somebody Breaks In spells out the most important issues required to generate a comprehensive step-by-step reaction plan that can be implemented the moment you realize you’re being broken into. This course combines a fascinating lecture with the opportunity to do a hands-on practice run of your plan. We’ll even send you away with your own quick-reaction card to post anywhere in your home – mine’s on the fridge! This course is a must for every California gun-owner.  \nPRO TIP: What To Do If Somebody Breaks In is available at a $50 discount for Pistol Shooter 1 and Shotgun for Home Defense alumni.  Bundle it with either or both.  The courses do not have to be attended in any specific order. Also if you and your partner or you and a friend want to enroll together you can both receive a $50 discount. \nI am very passionate about this material. This may be the most important 3 1/2  hours you spend all year. \nHope to see you there\, \nDave Selmo
