The Devil Drill - 6/6/6 Drill by Larry Vickers - Master Class with Ken Hackathorn & Bill Wilson Ep32

This video details two critical defensive shooting drills: the Bill Drill and the 666 Drill, as demonstrated by renowned instructors Larry Vickers and Ken Hackathorn. The Bill Drill focuses on drawing and firing six rounds accurately into the A-zone in under three seconds. The 666 Drill adds complexity by requiring a draw, six shots, and an emergency slide-lock reload from concealment, all within six seconds. Both drills emphasize accuracy first, followed by speed, and highlight the importance of training under pressure to build essential defensive handgun skills.

The Devil Drill, designed by Larry Vickers, is a challenging shooting exercise requiring six shots at six yards in six seconds. Expert instructors Ken Hackathorn and Bill Wilson demonstrate this drill, emphasizing that while speed is a factor, accuracy is paramount. A missed shot costs a full second, making controlled fire essential for success. This drill serves as a valuable baseline for evaluating shooting proficiency.
