Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Bill Drill?

The Bill Drill is a classic defensive shooting drill where the shooter draws a pistol and fires six rounds into the A-zone of a target at 7 meters in 3 seconds or less, emphasizing accuracy first.

What is the 666 Drill?

The 666 Drill requires drawing a firearm from concealment, firing six shots at 6 yards, and performing a mandatory emergency slide-lock reload, all within six seconds.

Why is training from concealment important?

Training from concealment simulates real-world defensive scenarios, forcing shooters to practice drawing efficiently and accurately under pressure, which is crucial for self-defense.

What is the importance of emergency reloads in defensive shooting?

Mastering emergency slide-lock reloads is vital because a defensive encounter may require more rounds than a magazine holds. Efficient reloading under stress can be the difference in a critical incident.
