BILL DRILL

All gas. No guesses.

The Bill Drill is a classic for a reason. It’s a raw test of recoil control, grip strength, and visual discipline under speed. Draw and send six rounds into the A-zone as fast as you can, without letting your hits drift. It’s not about how fast you shoot — it’s about how fast you can shoot well.

Why this drill matters:

Anyone can press the trigger six times. The Bill Drill shows whether your technique holds up when speed and pressure meet. If your grip is weak or your sight tracking isn’t locked in, this drill brings it to light fast.

It also reveals critical breakdowns:

  • Slapping the trigger under stress

  • Letting the gun run instead of controlling the cadence

  • Failing to track the front sight during rapid fire

If your accuracy disappears when the timer starts, this drill gives you the truth — and the tools to fix it.

Set it up:

  • Distance: 7 yards

  • Target: Fusion Target A-zone

  • Rounds: 6

  • Reps: 3

  • Start Position: Holster or low ready.



How to run the drill:

a. Start from the holster or in a low ready postition.


b. On the beep, draw and fire 6 rounds into the A-zone as quickly as you can while maintaining control


c. Record your time and score your hits


d. Repeat 3 times and aim to improve consistency and speed without sacrificing accuracy

What you are actually training:

  • Recoil control at speed: You are developing the ability to manage muzzle rise and drive the gun back on target between shots.

  • Grip strength and consistency: You are building a grip that locks the gun in place, no matter how fast you shoot.

  • Visual tracking and confirmation: You are learning to see the front sight return and fire only when it's back on target.

  • Trigger speed with control: You are reinforcing rapid trigger presses without collapsing your grip or losing alignment.

  • Performance under pressure: You are training your ability to respond cleanly to a timer and keep all rounds in the zone.



Drill Tips

This drill rewards control, not chaos. Anyone can shoot fast — but can you keep all six in the A-zone?

The Bill Drill is featured in Week 4 of the Fusion Targets 12 Week Pistol Program. It's a proven standard that exposes flaws and reinforces fundamentals in a clean, no-nonsense format.
