Shooting USA: The 2023 Bill Drill Showdown

[@reelivin8112]

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.

[@SecondClassCitizen]

I live 20 minutes from this place and didn't know they do these comps. I would have loved to see this.

[@dennisduffey2053]

I just found this channel on this video, I like it and will be watching more in the future.

[@920WASHBURN]

I'm the one who showed bill this drill. Then he took it and acted like he didn't know me

[@nathanjames7030]

If you had showed Rob and and Brian, maybe they'd have named it after you instead of Bill.

[@920WASHBURN]

@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

[@nathanjames7030]

@@920WASHBURN Genius. You could call it the "fast as the dickens" drill, or something like that.

[@RFPews]

Bill Drills are fun. Had no idea this was even a thing.

[@YouTube.Is.Run.By.Terrorists]

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. 👍

[@paddypibblet846]

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.

[@MF_UNDERTOW]

It’s also known as the William Drilliam

[@BetterMarksman]

It's named after Bill Wilson, the founder of IDPA. Always has been a competitive thing. 😎

[@AntoineWilliams7118]

Garand is a total joke. He only cares about steroids and his close ups

[@hozzerman]

We've all been grateful for the "Lucky Miss" a time or two.

[@DrewMonge]

Bob Vogel would take everybody to church on this drill. 💯⚡🔥

[@chrisb9478]

Yeah I’d like to see Vogel & Taran Butler run it 💥

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

Fun vid guys, thanks!

[@0dayExploit]

Been looking forward to the bill drill showdown and the coverage after seeing your interviews with the various pro/comp shooters a few months back

[@Carl223]

8:36 it's 2 hundredths slower not 2 tenths

[@user-99.99]

Nice! I spotted Riley T. Bowman in the crowd. 😎

[@pevelyhomeowner327]

Thank you.. 🙏 I’ve been waiting for this video a long time. Keep up the great work .

[@josephthecreator]

Well done by both!

[@djinfwb]

Amazing performances!!!

[@tdwalleye6282]

Outstanding!

[@920WASHBURN]

This would be good if it wasn't made like a reality show

[@willywonka4340]

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 😂

[@empiricalshooting]

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]

they didnt do it from the holster or do it on A zone steel

[@jdouguspsa]

@AlphaMindset-zq5qv shoots for gray guns. think its their package

[@mjohnstonflying]

Don't forget Jerry's plate rack run.

[@willywonka4340]

@@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 😹

[@NDcompetitiveshooter]

Congrats Isaac!

[@ben_shoots_]

Freakin great coverage John!

[@reichMK23]

Man. Billy is fast too. Nice job Isaac

[@justinlawrence7466]

Billy split sauce is 🔥🔥🔥

[@mariosmith8456]

LOL the way these people are talking about the weather I thought it was 28°. Finally they showed it was 48, that's t-shirt weather in the Northeast

[@byronbranch4645]

Foreal, thats not even cold LOL, some ohio boys def in basketball shorts and sandals with maybe a hoodie on at the most

[@gmanky]

Bet old Jerry could sweep it clean!

[@edvardaspo5076]

Any one knows size of hit box and how far the target is. Thanks

[@ShootingUSA]

target is at seven yards, the scoring area is the lower A zone on a standard USPSA target 5.9 x 11 inches

[@edvardaspo5076]

[@williamsweet7511]

Fun to watch.

Dang I was hoping spec train pulled out a win

[@bls1969]

Every time I try shooting fast I get yelled by the range officers…so where can I practice these skills?

[@joshuabaker5712]

Local club usually. Just look up uspsa.

[@jonwack7425]

Love the content, y'all need an editor for youtube. This plays like a 90's sportsman's channel episode.

[@johnroper3077]

Am I supposed to be able to compete here.

[@whollyfree]

why did they drop the 2 head shots

[@joshuabaker5712]

Because technically the bill drill requires all shots in the lower a zone.

[@WyattDerpTheNotSoEarp]

Where's the "red dots are slower" crowd at? They're mighty quiet right now.

[@TheSlickmelon]

Practicing..

[@saradamsmc]

lmao this is awesome!!

[@rory4656]

wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh its cold wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[@rafaelcarazo4768]

I wonder what J.M. Would do here?

[@calvinledford9606]

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

[@joshuabaker5712]

Try it.

[@gjhoward]

that 'big black target' is only 5.91" x 11.02". A good bill drill time at 7 yards is 2.5 seconds. Good luck!

[@calvinledford9606]

@@gjhoward Maybe I could have phrased my question differently. Everyone else does Bill Drills with a standard target. (Scoring zones intended to be visible only when scoring) Why was the A zone for these targets in black?

[@beantown_billy2405]

@@calvinledford9606 Because it's a Bill Drill competition, not a USPSA match

[@paulh6101]

Was that a glock vs 2011/1911 DS?

[@vettepilot427]

Isaac was running a Sig P320. Billy looks like he’s running a Glock 34, but not sure about him.

[@paulh6101]

Gotcha, after a second watch its pretty easy to see its not a 2011, and a sig.

[@rudukai13]

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

[@vettepilot427]

@@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.

[@shootyliam]

@@vettepilot427 Billy had a zev oz9 with a g34 long slide

[@celsoluiz1230]

[@SideOut4Life]

The fact that they are shooting these with striker fired pistols is even more insane.

[@onpsxmember]

Why? It's easier than DA/SA in that regard.

[@SideOut4Life]

Would be easier with 2011's
