This is a new version of the classic Bill Drill developed by Bill Wilson with a goal toward working the draw and different numbers of shots on target. Scoring is standard Vickers with a half second penalty per point down.
There are five strings of fire, each for time:
Bill Wilson suggests a 10-second total score as a goal.
The Bill Drill 2 is an advanced shooting exercise designed to improve a shooter’s speed, accuracy, and target engagement skills. Unlike the original Bill Drill, which focuses on engaging a single target with multiple rounds, the Bill Drill 2 involves transitioning between targets, though a common variation uses a single target, such as an IDPA target, to sharpen rapid engagement and precise shot placement.
Here’s how the Bill Drill 2 is typically performed with one IDPA target:
Setup: Position yourself 7 to 10 yards from a single IDPA target.
First Engagement: On the start signal, draw your firearm and fire six rounds as quickly as possible into the target’s center mass (typically aiming for the A-zone).
Subsequent Engagement: If using multiple targets, repeat the engagement on each target, focusing on smooth transitions. If using a single target, the drill emphasizes maintaining speed while ensuring all shots land in the scoring area.
Goal: The objective of the Bill Drill 2 is to fire all rounds rapidly while maintaining tight groupings in the high-scoring zones of the target. The drill tests your ability to manage recoil, quickly reacquire your sights, and maintain accuracy under pressure.
The Bill Drill 2 is an excellent tool for competitive shooters who need to enhance their ability to engage targets swiftly and accurately, particularly in scenarios that require fast shooting with consistent precision. Regular practice of this drill helps shooters build confidence in their ability to perform under time constraints, making it a valuable addition to any training routine.
