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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amazing performances!!!

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

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

@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

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

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

Fun vid guys, thanks!

Freakin great coverage John!

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

Outstanding!

Congrats Isaac!

Bet old Jerry could sweep it clean!

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

Fun to watch.

AWESOME !!! - Thanks fer sharing !!! - Appreciate it !!

Man. Billy is fast too. Nice job Isaac

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

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

That a boy Isaac!!!

the music is annoying and unneeded.

lmao this is awesome!!

Dang I was hoping spec train pulled out a win

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 😹

Am I supposed to be able to compete here.

I wonder what J.M. Would do here?

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

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

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

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
