Working the Bill Drill — finally broke 3 seconds clean

Rangium Community TeamStarter contentMay 6, 2026

Been grinding the Bill Drill (six rounds on an A-zone at 7 yards from the holster) for a couple months and I finally got a clean run at 2.9 with all hits. The thing that unlocked it for me was relaxing my grip on the draw and getting a real visual confirmation on the first sight picture instead of just rushing the press. Posting in case it helps someone else who's stuck in the 4s.

Congrats, that's legit. Sub-3 clean is a real benchmark. What's your draw to first shot looking like, that's usually where the time hides.
The 'confirm the first sight picture' note is key. Once the gun is up and tracking, the recoil is predictable. It's that first shot that wrecks people's runs.
Nice work. Next stop: do it at 10 yards and watch your humility return.
Be careful chasing the timer too hard. I started dropping hits low because I was driving for time instead of seeing what I needed to see. Speed comes from efficiency, not panic.
Are you running this with a concealment garment or open from a competition rig? Big difference in realistic time.
