Plus, the ability to put lead on target in a hurry could be a life-saving skill in a real defensive situation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Bill Drill<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6394 size-large\" title=\"bill drill target\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_0051-1024x685.jpg\" alt=\"A target shot at the shooting range used as part of practicing the bill drill\" width=\"1024\" height=\"685\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_0051-1024x685.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_0051-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_0051-1536x1028.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_0051-2048x1371.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What it works:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Draw speed<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sight tracking<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trigger control<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recoil control<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Position a silhouette target seven yards from the firing line. (Although seven yards is the accepted \u201cstandard\u201d for the Bill Drill, you can start at 3-5 yards and work your way up to seven yards and beyond.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start with either your hands raised in a surrender position or hanging comfortably at your side.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the start signal, draw your weapon and fire six accurate shots to the \u201cA-zone\u201d (or center torso) of your target as fast as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Only accurate shots count. If any of your shots fall outside the \u201cA Zone\u201d, you have failed the drill. Shots should be fired as fast as you are able, however they shouldn\u2019t be so fast that you miss your intended target.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Bill Drill is performed for both accuracy and time. Your goal should be six accurate shots in under four seconds. Complete it in under two, and you probably have superhuman powers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This drill can help you train your brain away from poor range shooting habits. Many shooters develop habits at the gun range that don\u2019t transfer well to defensive shooting. It isn\u2019t uncommon to see a shooter positioned at the firing line who fires a round and then looks to see where it hit. Then the shooter fires another round and pauses to see where it hit. Then they rinse and repeat until their hour is up, and then they head for home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to self-defense shooting, the goal is to get multiple rounds on target as fast as possible to eliminate a threat. This drill will get you in the habit of placing multiple pieces of lead on target without assessing your accuracy between each shot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increasing Bill Drill Difficulty<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve mastered the basic version of the Bill Drill, you can add some variety to keep things interesting and further challenge your skills. <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-6396 size-medium\" title=\"shooting a pistol\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_0031-248x300.jpg\" alt=\"The author shooting a pistol at the range\" width=\"248\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_0031-248x300.jpg 248w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_0031-845x1024.jpg 845w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_0031-1268x1536.jpg 1268w, https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_0031.jpg 1678w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 248px) 100vw, 248px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One option is to increase the distance to your target. You may be surprised how much harder the drill becomes when the target is at ten, twelve, or fifteen yards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another option is to practice your reload. After firing the first six loads, drop your magazine, reload, and fire six more. Just make sure that all twelve shots hit the \u201cA Zone\u201d or it doesn\u2019t count.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re really looking for a challenge, you can fire all six shots while on the move. It is much harder to maintain concentration and sight control when you\u2019re moving to the side. However, the ability to get off-line of a threat while firing accurate shots is a valuable skill in a real-life defensive situation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Working On Your Draw<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Obviously your draw is a major component of this speed drill. While speed is an important goal, you should start by focusing on making your draw smooth. If you hang up on your draw, you\u2019ll be adding precious seconds to your time. Also, if you miss your grip on the draw, it will cost you either time or accuracy as you either adjust your grip or pull shots off target. Neither is a good thing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the stars may align in your favor and allow you to get an accurate hit with a sub-par grip, you won\u2019t pull off five more unless Hell freezes over. If you want to run this drill well, you\u2019re going to need to work on your grip.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the old military saying goes, \u201cSlow is smooth, and smooth is fast.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to speed up your draw, it is usually best to first slow it down. Performing a shooting technique correctly is much more important than performing it fast.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you can\u2019t do it slow and right, you won&#8217;t ever be able to do it fast and right. So, slow it down to Tai Chi speed while you focus on maintaining a solid grip from the time your hand touches your weapon until you achieve proper sight alignment and press the trigger.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once your slowed down draw is smooth, you can start incrementally increasing your speed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Luckily, you can practice your draw right in the comfort of your own home. You won\u2019t even need to waste any ammo. Just be sure to always practice the Four Basic Rules of Gun Safety.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Safety First<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaking of Basic Gun Safety, here is a quick reminder of the basics:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>All guns are always loaded.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target. <\/b><\/li>\n<li><strong>Be sure of your target and what is beyond it. <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Bill Drill isn\u2019t exactly an entry level drill. It\u2019s important for new or inexperienced shooters to master shooting fundamentals before they add speed to the mix.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those who are ready to give the Bill Drill a try, you should be hyper aware of your trigger finger when drawing your weapon with speed. It isn\u2019t uncommon for wayward fingers to cause accidents during the draw. Keep that trigger finger well outside the trigger well until your sights are on target and you\u2019re ready to shoot.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Word About Sight Alignment<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While a proper grip is important for Bill Drill success, it isn\u2019t the drill\u2019s only key component. Proper sight alignment is just as important. (If you want to review proper sight alignment, check out our in-depth article <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/sight-alignment-and-sight-picture\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keeping those sights aligned while making six rapid-fire shots is no easy feat. Technique tends to degrade with each successive shot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spraying and praying isn\u2019t a good idea on or off the range, so using the Bill Drill to help improve your sight control is smart. Try to focus on that front sight post and time the trigger break for when the post falls into the rear sight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is some wiggle room with accuracy on the Bill Drill. You aren\u2019t trying to keyhole your shots, they just need to land in that fairly generous \u201cA-zone.\u201d With practice, you\u2019ll develop a rhythm or cadence that makes timing your shots much easier, resulting in a faster drill time.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, Who is &#8220;Bill&#8221;?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6395 size-large\" title=\"bill drill practice\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\/lodge\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_0042-scaled-e1605036867698-1024x604.jpg\" alt=\"Shooting the bill drill with a pistol at the range\" width=\"1024\" height=\"604\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Bill Drill has been around for some time. Unfortunately, its origins have been mostly lost to time. The drill is often attributed to Bill Wilson, an accomplished competitive shooter, gunsmith, and founder of Wilson Combat. However, the person responsible could just as easily be Bill Rogers (founder of Rogers Shooting School), Bill Jordan (Marine Corps colonel, quick draw shooter, and Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient), or just plain ol\u2019 Bill from the gun range. (The good and typical well-informed folks at <a href=\"https:\/\/pistol-training.com\/drills\/bill-drill\">Pistol-Training.com insist this drill was in fact designed by Bill Wilson<\/a>, however.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For all we know, some random guy named Eugene developed the Bill Drill and just thought the \u201cEugene Drill\u201d didn\u2019t have the right ring to it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While we don\u2019t know exactly where the drill came from, we do know that this is an effective exercise that experienced shooters should add to their training tool boxes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Final Thoughts<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re an experienced shooter, the Bill Drill is a good one to pull out at the beginning of a range or training session. Trying this drill cold is a good way to assess your skills.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Bill Drill works well at honing real-world shooting speed and accuracy. Since few violent criminals allow you to warm up with a few slow, careful shots, starting out with the Bill Drill during your training sessions provides a realistic assessment of your real-world abilities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should also keep a running record of your Bill Drill times. This will help you plot your progress over time and help you set long-term shooting goals. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A look at the infamous Bill Drill.
