BigDave Posted October 24, 2001 Author Share Posted October 24, 2001 Bird - The sun shines on a dogz azz every once in a while. I can say this, it is certainly not a skill I can call up at will, on demand. Not yet anyway. 10% Skill, 90% luck. Oh, it was a 1911 (SV ext dustcover 40) BTW. After I had an AD with my HK (hit the trigger when I went for the mag release), I sold it and bought the SV. Loved the gun, hated the mag release.

BigDave Posted November 10, 2001 Author Share Posted November 10, 2001 well, maybe it wasn't a fluke.... my best run today, although not perfect and a true Bill Drill, was 2.62s/29pts/11.069hf. It was witnessed. My next fastest out of 6 recorded runs was 2.68 secs. Again, I know it is not official unless it is all A's. However, I doubt even Mr. Wilson himself had all A's his first runs. every dog has his day, and good dogs have two...

Steve Moneypenny Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 you can do some research, but i am 99% sure it was NOT bill wilson that came up with this drill. ran one at 7/8 yards today 1.85 27 point .. cute group.. should have centered up on the target properly HF was 14.59459 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Thomas Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 I've always heard it's called the Bill Drill because it was developed by Bill Wilson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A33435 Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 Because in an upcoming qualifiermatch one of the stages will be : T1 at 8 yards, gun in ready condition holstered 6 rounds on T1, virginia count i tried it yesterday at the range 2.17 sec/ 27 pt 2.07 sec/ 26 pt 2.37 sec/ 26 pt First shot consistent between 1.12 / 1.15 After these 3 runs i thought to be smart and put only 6 rounds in the mag so i didn't have to count the rounds fired and just could empty the mag as quick as possible. Well that didn't work . Because i didn't count i stopped after the 5th round and made a .82 split for the 6th. I also missed the weight of the additional 13 pieces .40 rounds in my glockmag also so guncontrolwas also poor. Adrie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benelli2 Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 think it might have been Bill Rogers, that started this drill,and the man can still shoot better than most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benos Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 It's true that the Bill Drill, popularized by The Great One and myself, was invented by Bill Wilson, and the original drill was shot at 7 yds. I remember when he told us about his idea for the drill one year when we were at his place practicing for Bianchi. When we returned home all we did was shoot that drill until we "could do" it.

jmaass Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 I think what confused people is that if Bill Wilson created the Bill Drill, the current expectation is that he would be *charging* people to shoot it! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tightloop Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 I am with Duane, I thought they called it the Bill Drill 'cause Bill Wilson designed it. 1.79 30 pts 1.77 30 pts 1.82 30 pts About average, it won't win any stage drills, but I won't be last and it won't cost me the match. The Hot rocks do it in the high 1.50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Thomas Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 I've watched Robbie do it in 1.36. Using his 6" longslide .45 with full-power PMC 230-gr. hardball. Kind of redefines the term "hot rock." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Sounds like Brain was there. I did a bit of digging (this stuff was on MY computer, just had to find it). Does this sound about right? THE "BILL DRILL" According to Bill Wilson, this is the original Bill Drill: The idea of all strings is to get the best possible hits. One target at seven yards. String 1: Fire 6 shots slowly and make the smallest group you can. String 2: Fire 6 shots with about .50 splits between each shot. String 3: Fire 6 shots as fast as you can.

BSeevers Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 I usually shoot String 3 three times That does sound like a better drill although .50 splits? What 75 yards? Brian will know if its the real one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tightloop Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Duane When I said Hot Rocks, I was talking about mortal men, not TGO. I am sure there are people who can whip out a 1.36, but the fastest I have seen it in a match was 1.51. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
