Kelly Neal Reports on the IPSC European Rifle Championship

IPSC held its first ever Level IV rifle competition in Kongsberg, Norway on July 13-17, 2009 with 220 competitors.

The 2009 Rob Leatham DrillMaster Summer Nationals was held July 26th 2009 at the Rio Salado Sportsman Club in Mesa Arizona. At 109 degrees you could say that the competition was heated… or maybe just plain hot! Either way you’d be right on all counts. If you’re not familiar with the concept of Rob Leatham’s DrillMaster Shooting Club it is an on-line membership club that provides members with access to practice drills designed and used by Rob Leatham.

Showtime will be airing a “new original reality series” called Lock ‘N Load. It was filmed at ‘The Shootist’ gun store in Englewood, Colorado.” Apparently they used hidden cameras and only told the people after they had been filmed. Showtime claims that they aren’t taking sides in the gun rights debate, but this is Showtime. I have my doubts. In the promo they are asking “Guns… How do they make you feel?”.
