I don't think I had ever even heard of a bill drill until I started watching GarandThumb. I had no idea it was done in a competitive setting. Cool and informative video. 👍
It really wasn't. It was mostly always a way to measure your speed against other pros and see where you stand. But it recently is starting to take off like a small side competition.
I was at the IPSC International in Florida with the likes of Rob Lathem, Jerry Barnhart, Brian Enos, and many more. The cash sideshoot was the Bill Drill, winner took $2k. Top 3 shooters were within 1.3 seconds and Barnhart won with a sub 1sec time. His nickname was The Burner. Great memories.
@nathanjames7030 missed opportunity. Thats OK. I'm working in a new drill. I'm thinking like 10 rounds at 40 yards or so in about 8 seconds. I'm still working out the kinks though
hearing how Brian Enos and Jerry Miceulek (with DA revo!) doing Bill Drill under 1 sec with all shots in the A zone back in the early 1990s really put things in perspective 😂
Jerry did it from the low ready and didn't shoot all alphas. He was shooting a c-zone target. Still very impressive with a DA Revo, but not the same drill.
@@jdouguspsa oh I'm pretty certain it was from the (race) holster with a single or doubled ported comped gun for autos. All 6 shots A-zone hits under 1 sec. according to Enos, from his book Beyond Fundamentals, that's a yes IIRC (pretty certain). Do look it up, I'm too lazy trying to find my copy 😹
How is it a Bill drill, with the big black target to shoot at? I'm no expert, but it seems like part of the challenge with the Bill drill is having a very large target at a close distance and still have all shots land in the scoring zone. Seems cheesy
Lockwood runs a P320 modified by Bruce Gray at GrayGuns Inc. Barton is shooting what appears to be a Zev Tech OZ9 Competition, which is a derivative of the Glock G34
@@paulh6101 I'm not sure if this is USPSA rules or not, but for 2024 Carry Optics in USPSA doesn't allow add-on magwells. His Sig would have been illegal based on that.
