Ben Stoeger explains the Bill Drill

Ben Stoeger explains the Bill Drill and variations of this famous drill.
🔫
The Bill Drill is a great test to make sure you have a nice, snappy draw and get on the correct grip.
🎯
The drill is widely known and practiced for a good reason, highlighting its effectiveness in training for shooting accuracy and control.
🎯
Engaging targets quickly in USPSA requires more than just the Bill Drill, but it's a good exercise for showing target transition speed.
👀
Shifting vision between targets can improve shooting speed and accuracy during training.
🎯
Shifting your eye between targets and adjusting the distance can make the exercise harder, but it's an excellent way to practice and improve.

The Bill Drill is a great drill even for us slugs that run it in 3 seconds. :) If the gun is moving in your hands, this drill will highlight that real quick. I like both drills.

[@Shadow__133]

I don't even need it to know that by round #4 my support grip is gone 😂

[@ShooterSway]

two great exercises that compliment each other well. good vid.

[@khamisinorwood5889]

Brilliant! This is also a great drill to determine and analyze grip durability. Something I’ve heard Ben speak on in the passed. I find that my grip quality deteriorates over the course of X amount of shots through an array. After gaining an understanding of the term grip durability I’ve gotten a lot better at maintaining the necessary consistency.

I'm so glad you are clarifying that it's not to be done in a match but good for training purposes. A lot of tacticool Ben Stoeger followers would have been mistaken

[@billdrill22]

I’ve done this drill but never thought of it as a continuation of the bill drill. That’s so brilliant for target transitions now that I think of it.

[@puddintame6310]

Perhaps a silly question: why six shots, particularly? My OCD ass would like to do five because I can get ten bill drills out of a fifty round box.

[@UrbanDefenseSystems]

Originally when this was invented, people used revolvers a lot. Double Action 357 revolvers were the norm for home defense and for a police officer. They typically carried 6 shots. So the Bill Drill was done with 6 shots for those who used revolvers.

This is the Bill, Billy, William Drill.

[@omnivore2220]

Hmm. The Bill Drill must have been inspired by the insulted mule scene in A Fist Full of Dollars with Clint Eastwood.

I got 2.26 yesterday out of an L2 retention safariland holster. I gotta try this out of a regular OWB holster

[@hopewilliams6705]
