STANDARDS

Billy Drill Standards - Pistol

When putting the Billy Drill together I wanted a benchmark drill that gives a shooter a good estimation of their on demand ability to be fast an accurate on targets of varying difficulty.

​

A bill drill or a "billy" as it's sometimes referred to is simply 6 rounds from the draw on a single target. Usually into a USPSA A-zone at 7 yards. I like 6 rounds, it's enough that it somewhat eliminates luck, and also tests the durability of the grip structure.

​

In the Level-Up course we discuss different formulas of sights and trigger control that reliably equal Alpha hits on different difficulty targets. Assuming open USPSA a-zones, I find 7, 15 and 25 yard distances are pretty good representations of target difficulties that require significantly different techniques if we really want to guarantee all alphas.

​

I also wanted a scoring system that required speed, but also requires high accuracy. With this drill, hit factor would emphasize speed over accuracy a bit too much, so we went with time-plus. In addition to your raw time, add .5 seconds for each charlie, 1 second for each delta, and 5 seconds for each mike.
