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.

I just completed Rob Leatham’s “Day of Steel” for the second time in as many years. These classes are offered a couple times each year. This is a one day event starting in the morning with instruction from Rob and culminating in the afternoon shooting the “Tuesday Night Steel” event at Rio Salado here in Mesa Arizona.

The first shooter of the day loads in the predawn light, knife in hand awaits the signal to begin. Are you ready, Standby, the morning explodes awake with the new day of competition.
