The William Drill

You all have heard of the Bill Drill. You have six rounds at 7 yards, and you shoot at the A section of an IDPA target as fast as possible from the draw. Well, this drill is basically the same except you have a three-inch target in the center and place all six rounds on the three-inch target. All rounds out of the three-inch target do not count. This is all timed may I remind you.

Just a reminder, you need to do this under three seconds.

Can you, do it?

Yes, you can!
Train, practice, practice, practice and be safe!

Draw, fire six shots within 3 seconds at 7 yards into a 3 inch target.
My question is, were you using a 22 caliber pistol?
No needing to re-aquire target after recoil.

Not right now.

Actually, I’m not sure I could in under three with both hands.

I need to practice.

It is a drill to build speed and accuracy together. At first, work on accuracy then build your speed. This is good training for both, and it will improve your shooting skills. work on it and see the improvements.

Look at it this way, how fast can you put six rounds in a 3-inch target at 7 yards? Bring it into 3 yards and try then work your way to 7 yards. Then you work on your speed. Can you improve? Will this help you? Yes, it is hard but that is what a good drill is supposed to do, push you to improve your accuracy and speed. All your fundamentals will be required for this drill, and it was created to push you.

7 shots, 5 yards, 3" target, 9mm, at indoor range, so shot from low ready rather than drawing from holster. I don’t know how quick, but as quick as I could get back on target between shots.

Also a big thanks for trying to keep this a firearms/self-defense forum :+1:

I really should invest in a timer…. I wonder if it would pick up on the sound of an airsoft? I could potentially do this drill in my garage if so!

It absolutely will.

May I recommend the SG Timer Go?

It will pick up on a trigger press in dry fire.

Plus the integrated app to create custom drills is pretty sweet.

Oh, and the volume adjustment for the beep actually works.

Oh. And if you use iOS and have an apple watch, you can use the watch’s microphone to pick up your shots.

Timers have sensitivity levels so you can turn it up and it will work.

Sweet and thank you both! :+1:

As much as my bank account hates me already, ($3500 in tires, but that’s for another thread)

looks like I have no choice but to order another toy!

One thing I like about the timer go is that it’s one of the more affordable options.
