Bill Drills _ How to Shoot them FAST!

155. First shot was a .9. Best split was a 12. And there we go. One, two, three, four, five, six. What's going on guys? Roger here at QVO Tactical. I get a lot of questions from you guys in the comment section from our videos on, hey, how do you shoot your bill drill so fast? So I figured today we'd come out to the desert. It is 110 degrees out here in the summer Vegas desert, guys. We're still here doing it. But Nick and I came out here and I figured we'd break down all the tips and the tricks that I've learned over the last, you know, 20 years of shooting on how I'm able to shoot those six rounds so fast. Nick, he doesn't shoot as often as we do. And he's typically around like a sub three bill drill. So today we're going to shoot some bill drills right now. And then we're going to try some of those drills and the tricks that I've learned over the last few years, implement those on the range for you guys to see, and then see if we can get him sub two second today. So I'm running my first drill right now and see how I do. The goal today is all alphas under two, obviously, but let's see how we do. We're already seven yards out, shooting some super bell, one 15, a little more about super bell here in a second. Um, but let's go stand by man. This XC is just like a sewing machine. So I shot kind of low. I got a one 91 best foot is a 13. We're gonna go look at the hits. First shot was a one 16, but unfortunately I was holding here and drop them all. So one, two, three, four, so four Charlie, two alpha. Imagine if that, if I just brought my aim up, we would have been clean, but a one 91 with a four Charlie, not ideal. I'm happy with the time. Obviously not happy with the accuracy. As far as competition goes defensively, I'd be happy that all day long. I'm gonna have Nick run his first bill drill and then, uh, we'll get into some of those tips and tricks that I use. All right, Nick, go ahead and load and make ready. He's got a two 46. Best split was a 21. First shot was a one, two, nine. Let's go take a look at your hits. So a little cleaner than mine. Uh, I got a Charlie and a Delta though. Yeah. So we definitely want to get rid of these today. These are all good. So do you know what your first shot was? Yes. This one right here. Gotcha. Correct. Just kind of tracked it over. Cool. So today we want to shave a half a second off of your time with all office today, which I think is going to be doable. All right guys. So the first tip I want to share with you guys is something I learned back in like 2015, 2016, uh, from JJ Ricasa when he was actually living out here in Vegas. Um, he had me record my draw in slow motion footage, just on my iPhone. And then he analyzed it for me. And one thing he noticed was that on the buzzer, I wasn't getting into the gun until like the end of that buzzer ringing off. And so what he had me do, just go home, unload your gun, get a nice clear gun and set up, you know, for dry fire. And it was just simply running the timer and practicing getting to my gun before that timer was done buzzing. And so that's just building up that muscle memory for you to react, you know, to a stimulus, whether it be an up command, um, a shot timers ideal, but you record yourself and just use your iPhone guys in slow motion. And you're going to really see like how your time is when you get to that gun and notice that it's toward the end of that beep. Um, and it's really eyeopening. So for me, half the build drill time is that draw speed. If you can be in the 0.7s and the 0.8s with getting your gun up and on target, you're going to make that speed come down even lower. I want to say my fastest clean build drills in the one fives, one sixes. Um, and that's definitely because I was able to get my gun up and presented in 0.8 seconds. So try that at home guys. Again, I'll just do a hundred reps of boom, just that hit the timer again and just do it on a weekend or a Friday night when you're sitting at home watching TV. Or like for me, when I play call of duty between matches, when I'm waiting for the lobby to load up and I'll just do that guys, boom, just several times of the buzzer going off and get into the gun as fast as I can. So that's the first tip. So Nick and I are going to now run another build drill after implementing that him and I both going to do this about five to 10 times. I just did my five. I'll have him do it. And then we'll see what our builder times are looking like from there. All right, Nick. So on the buzzer, you're just going for that nice purchase, that nice grip. All right, here we go. Stand by. Yep. So clean it up a little bit. Here we go. Nice. There you go. All right, Nick, load, make ready. Second build drill. Here we go. Stand by to 12. So we shaved off what a 0.34 of a second. First shot was a 107. So faster on the draw right there. Best split was a 19, but now we've got to work on accuracy. So I'm assuming you didn't mean to do that one. No. So good shot though. You got three Charlie, one alpha, one alpha, and one over the head mic. So cool. So you took a minute to just think, okay, only I want to focus on is that draw speed now, which is great. You got very close to a one second draw, but now we need to incorporate, okay, the one second draw into a correct presentation on target. All right, guys. Now for my second run, I believe I need to beat a 191 trying to improve with each round. We are seven yards out guys beforehand. We measure with some measuring tape instead of black rock out here. You should be seeing that B roll right now. But yeah, we are exactly 21 feet, seven yards away for the build drill. Here we go. Second run. I keep getting trigger freeze on like the fourth or fifth shot. So I got two 39. So I added half a second to my time. My first shot was a one 24. The best float was a 14 and there's that half a second. So I had a 0.49. So it took me half a second on that trigger freeze. And then I ended up jerking it when I finally shot it. So I believe that was that shot, but we got five alpha one Charlie at a 239. So still got room for improvement. A lot of room. Now guys, the next thing I do is getting my point of reference, my, my aiming. So a lot of people are like, Hey, are you just point shooting? Are you just shooting? No. The second I have that red dot come up and it's on target in that alpha zone. That's when I start putting pressure on that trigger and letting the rounds go. And how I did that back in like 2014 is when I decided to make the switch to red dot and I was going to a class. So a big fan of Bruce Lee, he said, 2000 reps make something. I have it right. So I just sat at home like I did with the draw and I would come up and find out where my reference point was. And so at first when I was shooting with Glock, I would notice that it would be kind of high. So I'd have to adjust. And so all I did, I just did so many reps until it got to the point that when I drew my natural presentation, my natural point of aim was putting the dot just at the center chest of my target. And that allows me boom, right there every single time to get my gun on target, have that dot exactly where I want it. So I can start pressing off those six rounds. I like the term muscle memory. I know, you know, it's outdated now and some guys don't like it, but for me, it's just getting those repetitions and it's getting, you know, me to where every time I draw and present the dot is right on the target. I'm going to bring in some, you know, behind the optic footage for you guys using my iPhone and you guys can see what I'm talking about, but essentially a lot of this is at home dry fire. And again, pick a small reference point, go home and like use your, your light switch on the wall and just get in the habit of presenting and having that dot line up right on it. So when I first do it, I'll start out super slow. Like now I'm presenting on the, the a in the alpha zone and then I just gradually speed it up and to where it gets to, it's right there every time. So hopefully that'll help you guys out with getting that first shot, very accurate and quick, but all right, here we go. Third run, standby, a little bit of trigger freeze, but I got two Oh seven first shot was a one 15 best spot was a 15, but now we're doing much better. So clean run. So it's the first clean run of the day at two Oh seven, one, two, three, four, five, six. So third run got my clean run, but now I want to get it below a two seconds. And this right here tells me I could have definitely run that a little faster. All right. Next thing I bought third run to 34 best was the 19. First shot was a one 24. Nice. You got five alpha one, Charlie, so much cleaner group. How'd the presentation feel? That was much better. Yeah. Just to get that additional practice and just finding the dot and just the overall presentation, just right in the center of the target. Definitely helped out clean that up. Cool. So right now you're best split to 19 with that gun. Marco could probably get that gun down to 11, I bet, but we need to definitely bring you down from 19. So with six shots, you're you had a 19 was your fastest 22. So let's go 20 is the average. If you could cut, you know, 0.05 off of six shots, that's three tenths of a second. You know what I mean? That brings you right to two. Cool. Now for the next tip or the next drill that I use to make the bill drills faster for me is honestly guys just getting a really good understanding of my trigger. So you don't have to be on the range for this. Just go home, get your gun. And for you musicians out there, especially you drummers, this will make a lot of sense to you, but I break down the function of my trigger into a cadence. And what I mean by that, I'll do my best here with the wind to pick, uh, pick up this noise for you, but I feel the prep hit the wall, have the trigger break, and then I cycle the slide reset break slide. And literally I just break that down into a beat so many times to where I get so familiar to exactly where the wall is, how much prep there is, where the wall is and how the break is going to be. And then, you know, doing the in-flight reset, which is resetting the trigger while the slide is cycling, I'm able to come right out, boom, prep up. And I'm on that wall ready to break again when the gun is back in battery. And I know the guys out there that are 1911, 2011 guys seeing me do this. It is where it is guys. If your gun can't take this, you know, I don't, I don't think it should be as expensive as it is. This is my Staccato XC. I beat the hell out of this thing and it runs great for me. So, but that's how I break down the trigger for me. And it's what's worked for me over the years with getting really familiar with the trigger. That way I know exactly how much to prep, where the wall is going to break, and then how much I need to come back out to get the trigger back into position while the slide is cycling. All right, guys, fourth run now. Trigger finger's definitely warm. I'm hoping we get our sub two clean here. Here we go. Stand by. The second round, I dipped it all the way down. I got a 189. Splits was, best one's a 15. I got two 15s. First shot was a 112, but I'm pretty sure I went one, two, three, and I felt that my grip wasn't completely up, so I can see a little bit of, you know, the muzzle coming slamming down. But five alpha, one Charlie, and a 189. That's definitely getting closer to where I want to be. Now the next tip, guys, is just reps. I'll get a C-zone steel target. That way I'm not having to go up and tape, and I can just practice building all of those things, putting it all together, and building up that speed. And this, I'll just push to failure, meaning I'm more focused right now on how fast I can run the gun. So here we go. That's a 166. Best split was a 13. First shot was a 95. And here's the grouping. So this would have probably been four alpha, one Charlie, one delta, another Charlie, but a 166. Best split was a 13. And honestly, guys, I'll just run this drill, you know, pretty much until exhaustion. Like, I want to get to failure points, and that's how you're just building up, you know, more and more speed with your draw, with your trigger press. And that way, when you have to go out and give it a little more time for that accuracy portion, finding that balance of speed and accuracy, because your draw was so fast and you can run the trigger so fast, it affords you that time to get that dot exactly where you need it. That's a 151 again. Got a .86 for the draw and a 12 on the splits. But guys, I want to take a second to tell you about Supervale Ammunition. We're shooting their 115-grain 9mm Certified Select today. They have come on board as a channel sponsor to help us out with our ammunition needs, and they're a local company here in Las Vegas. Guys, Supervale is pumping out numbers. I'm talking about over 200,000 rounds of 9mm daily. Everything from the 115s we're shooting, 124. They got their signature Hush Puppy subsonic 147 grain. Marco Rocks, their 100 grain for PCC because it's got some gnarly velocity on it. And they also have factory new, in addition to what we're shooting, the Certified Select, which is the remanufactured ammo I recommend to save a little bit on your wallet. But definitely check them out if you're local, because you can order online, pick up from their shop. Makes it super easy and helps out with our range days. We appreciate their support, and we appreciate you guys showing them support and picking up some ammo. So now, guys, I'm going to put all of that together back on paper here, and we're shooting for sub two second, all clean alphas, seven yards out. And what I'm going to do right now, I am literally just shooting as fast as I accurately can. So here we go. That's a 181. First shot was a 107. Best split was a 13. Marco's got to come be the judge on these line breakers. So I got a perforation break here, a perforation break here. So one, two, three, four, five, six. So after putting all those together, this is what, my fifth run? Five, I think, yeah. Yeah. So on my fifth run, got it clean at a 181 sub two second. I do want to do another one because even though it broke the perf, I would like to see them all within the lines. I already saw them dip low. 176. First shot was a 98. So 10th of a second slower, and best was a 14. But again, I'm all amped up. I was looking here the whole time. I need to be looking up here. 155. First shot was a 0.9. Best split was a 12. And there we go. One, two, three, four, five, six. So I moved my eyes up. Not where I wanted. I wanted to move my eyes here so my shots would have been here. But I end up looking right here. And one, two, three, four, five, six. And a 1.55 clean. So I want to say this is probably my fastest build drill clean ever. So 1.55. It is with my Staccato XC build guys. I got a metal chili grip on there. We'll do a full breakdown at the end of the video for you guys on the setups we're using. But first shot was a 0.90. And best split was a 0.12, which I have two of those for a total time of 1.55. Six alpha clean. Now that I got my super clean run in the 1.55, we are now on Nick's quest for sub two second clean. So we do our best to get as close as we can. I know this is Nick's only worked on build drills with me one other time, which was one of the last videos we shot the T sauce video, we were able to get his build drill down quicker. But getting six alpha, you know, under two seconds on your second time trying build drills. Is it impossible? No. But we'll see. You ready? Go ahead and load make ready. All right, here we go. Standby. 220 best foot was a 2.2. First shot was a 114. And we're looking low again. All right, let's go again. So Marco had another good tip for us. Right now Nick is having issues with his aiming reference point on the draw. So Marco actually comes and makes a reference point, he'll put, you know, a white piece of tape or a black sharpie mark. That way you bring your eyes to this reference point. Since we all actually shoot low, it's going to give you more of that alpha to hit because you're looking here, your reference point is here. So anything low is going to end up being in that alpha zone. So this is something you use on your drill days. 248 best foot 25 for shot 118. Almost all alpha, you got one Charlie, that's all. Now and also I'm going to get some comments down below like, hey, how about running with like a stock Glock setup. So brought my Gen 5 34 out to the range guys. And let's see how we do. Stock trigger, stock setup, no porting, no nothing. And it's my first run on some new cardboard to see how we do. So I got a 193. And first shot was a 109. Best foot was a 16. I did throw one Charlie here. So sub two, one Charlie. I'm gonna run a couple more times, see if we can get it clean. 185. Best foot was a 15. Got two Charlie though. And I'm watching, I could see it dancing around. So, you know, not having like, it's 90 mil, I know guys, but still when you guys shoot like this versus like a Staccato XC with, you know, just that hair trigger on the 2011 platform, plus the big old compensator port at the end, you just notice a huge difference in recoil. But think of this for me defensively, I'm happy with this all day long. So I'm gonna get it clean though before we leave this range with a stock setup. But these are the type of results that I would be getting. You know, I got a 185 with the majority of these being good shots. Two Charlie. Got a 182. First shot was a 96. Best foot was a 16. And there we go. So guys, this is my seventh run. One, two, three, four, five, six. Six alpha. Build drill clean. Had a 182. Let me know when you got it. And first shot was a 96. So with a stock Gen 5 Glock 34, seven runs it took me to get a clean build drill. Yeah, 182. So here's a cool thing that I want you guys to, you know, you're probably gonna argue about down below in the comment section, but a 182 clean versus my 155 clean. So we're talking what, less than three tenths of a second difference to go from like a $700 gun to a $4,000 gun. You know, don't get me wrong, I prefer the 1911-2011 grip angle. The platform altogether is just something that I prefer over, you know, a striker fire. The grip angle here, one cool thing I've learned on the internet with Glocks, I've learned if I point with my thumb, the reference point brings, it comes up dot exactly where I want. With my 1911s or 2011s, if I point with my index finger, the dot goes where I want. So something to, you know, try out for yourself there if you go back and forth like me between the two different guns. But for those wondering, stock Glock 34, six alpha clean in a 182. Now for those wondering like, hey, what are your times like with a duty style retention holster? Well, I brought my Safariline ALS out, so let's see how we do. Here we go. Got a 194. First shot was a 118. Best split was a 13. So sub two, but I do have three Charlie, three alpha, actually one, two, three, four, four alpha, two Charlie. So I'm just gonna bring that up, get my point of reference up higher, and I should be able to get sub two from the duty holster. 186. First shot was a 112. Best split was a .13. And we are clean. One, two, three, four, five, six. Six alpha, seven yards from a Safariline ALS retention holster. But guys, it's still cheat codes because I'm running a Staccato XD. But for those wondering, I mean, we were doing like .9s on the draw time from before with our QVO Tactical secondary on the waistband holster, which has no active retention. So we went from a .9, .95 to a 1.12. So two tenths of a second difference. With enough reps, I haven't used this holster since I did the video on it. So I probably have, what, I'm on my eighth rep here. I think this took me eight times to get a clean sub two second build drill with this holster, plus when we did the video. So I have less than 50 draws on this thing, guys. And if you just sit at home like we were talking about the other stuff, dry firing, and just getting to that retention or the active retention and undoing it and getting the gun out, you can have this be the same exact draw time. 198. Your first sub two. Best blow was a 17. Four alpha, two Charlie. All right. So we are on, I think this is probably like your 35th run. So you had 35 runs today. Guys, I've had thousands of runs on build drills. So in his 35th run, he's at a 198 with four alpha, two Charlie, a split of a 17, .17, and a draw time of 101. So let's clean up the draw time just a little bit. When we did Marco's quick in the dead drill just a minute ago, you got your draw time in the .9s. So looking way better. Nine day difference, just over 30. So 35 times six. Some of you do the Asian math. Six times five is 36 times three. So 180 rounds, I think. 180 rounds. And you're getting these kinds of times. That's awesome. That's good. Yeah. Now, one of the cool things that we can do here on the channel is we can bring Marco in to kind of break down some of the stuff that he does. For those of you not aware, Marco is a USPSA champion shooter. Right now, you are master in pistol and grandmaster in PCC, correct? So he's got something that he wants to share. He kind of broke it down for me, but I'm having to break it down for you guys on what he does to get his... If you guys haven't seen his split time, check out some of our videos. You'll see some B-roll here in a second. But you're going to run your combat master Glock, right? All right. So take it away, Marco. So we're going to go... Essentially, we're going to try to get alphas at speed, right? Essentially, it starts to our seven yards right now. I want to get alphas all the time, but I'm going to start at 1,000, 2,000. Pull the trigger when I count at 1,000, 2,000. 1,000, 2,000. So I want to get the good hits in. Once you can do that, you're going to step it up to 100. So 100, 200. 100, 200. So you want to get that speed. And you can go 1, 2, even better. 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2. Alpha, alpha, alpha, alphas. That's what you want. And you can get even quicker than that. So 1, 2, 1, 2. That's ideal. Depending on the distance course, but that's how you want to gauge the speed. So alphas at speed, guys. So we'll try the 1,000 first. We're just going to aim at target. We're going to eliminate the draw right now just to isolate the shooting portion of it. And we're going to go 1,000, 2,000, 2,000, 2,000. And I watch my dot track every time. That'll dictate your speed of the shots. That's all alphas right there. So I'm going to now go 100, 200. See how that goes? Still alphas. Now I'm going to go 1, 2, 1, 2. See how that goes. And now all alphas still. As you can see, the target. Let's go take a look. So that is, with this weapon platform, I know that's going to be my general spread for alpha, two alphas with that kind of cadence. 2011 is going to be a lot easier because it's like driving a Ferrari versus another good sports car, but less work on you with a 2011 because the trigger's going to be lighter. Gun's going to be more mass, heavier, but that is a good drill to help your speed for alphas, guys. Alphas at speed is what you want. So this range aid has been kind of boring for Marco because he kind of just helping us out with target stuff and just some tips, but I want to have him run a build drill. He's running his, your combat master, your first build drill of the day, bud. Let's see. Sub two all alpha. He's got this. Stand by. Got a 194. First shot was a 116. Best put was a 15. And Charlie. This one is out too, I think. Two Charlie's. Three. One, two, three. Three alpha, three Charlie. Let's have you do a couple more. 193. First shot, 115. First shot. Five alpha, one Charlie. So now we come to the range, guys. My favorite thing to do is the build drill, but it's because it's the only thing I do. Whereas Marco, Marco shoots matches moving all the time, so he's always doing doubles. He has me do double drills with him and it's like, I'll shoot my double drill slow. I'll shoot two rounds slower than I'll shoot my six standing on one spot. But yeah, 193. So we were talking earlier, like one thing that I mentioned earlier in the video, like I think half the build drill time is the draw. It's all the draw and then your reaction to the timer. Just you need to mentally get prepared just to go for it. Like those two things I think make up for half of the speed in your draw time. So like for me, if you're getting a sub second draw on target for that first round, I mean that, that puts, that sets you up for such a good build drill. And so something that you can do with that. Marco has a, what's it called? A quick in the dead drill. Yeah. So you go against your friend on like a steal. It's perfect. One-on-one standing next to each other, but you're going to try to see if you can draw and get the first hit as possible. First shooter to get first hit. Who wins that? Yeah. So to help Nick out, we were doing that drill a little bit. So now we're going to have Nick get his final runs in and hopefully he's going to be near two seconds. Got a 198. First shot was a 115. Best split was a 15 and you got consistent 15s. Oh, four alpha, two Charlie for a 198. We're getting there. That's a 36th run. So maybe we can get you under 40 runs. So two seconds flat. 106 was the draw split of 15s, three alpha, two Charlie, one Delta. All right guys, just some final thoughts before we wrap up this video. I know everybody's curious. Hey, did Nick get down to a sub two seconds? Yes and no. So he got, I think the best run you ended up with was the four alpha, two Charlie. Definitely picked up on that speed doing the drill that Marco brought out today. The quick in the dead drill definitely let the fire in his butt to get that draw time. So like I was saying before, I think when it comes to build drills, guys, the draw time, your reaction and draw. So your reaction to the buzzer and your draw time, I kind of just consider that all the draw time, but you know, your draw to the first shot I think is half of what's going to make your build drills fast. So I would definitely emphasis spending time on the buzzer drill that I was talking about. The one that JJ showed me a long time ago, just practicing, getting my timing down to react to the buzzer. I set the buzzer at a random time, so I don't know what time it's coming. So that way it just trains me to the initial first reaction. And like Marco was saying earlier, you'll see guys that matches any, like any stimulus they react. It happened to me today. I was waiting for the buzzer. Nick dropped the mag and I went. And so it's good. Like that's the kind of like reaction time you want to have. But those are the things that have worked for me, guys. I'm not saying, you know, these are better than anybody else's. What I'm telling you guys, you guys have asked a lot in the comments about, hey, how do you shoot such a fast build drill? Those are the things that I've developed and used and taken from classes and other instructors and other teachers that I put together that helped me run the build drill to what you guys saw today, which is a 155 clean. Marco, I appreciate you coming out, dude. I liked what you were talking about, how you broke down with thousands to hundreds to just one, two, one, two. And so, like I said, again, like if you guys go to a match, especially if you're local here, try to get, he's almost at every match at Pro Gun on Sundays. If you can squad with him, I mean, it's pretty much getting, he charges about $150 an hour for private lessons. So you're pretty much getting private lessons out there in the range because he's not going to not help you out on the match. And that's how him and I started hanging out. I go to matches and shoot with him. And then what'd you think, Nick, coming out with, I think your first drill was like two and a half seconds roughly. And now you're getting your shots off in under two and just a little more fine working with you on the accuracy. But guys, we're at the point of, Marco was saying, diminishing returns. Like we pushed Nick to his limit. He got all the way up to where he was doing like consistent, you know, right at like 0.9 draws and getting all six rounds under two seconds. But now it's just getting to where it's getting slow again and just fatigue. We've been out here in 110 degrees for four hours now. Yeah, it's one of those, it's definitely just figuring out motions. Not something that I've really, in the years that I've been shooting, not something that I've really emphasized training wise. So really the last couple of times and just that last time with you working with me and just figuring out things. Because it's, you know, it's different things when it goes from, you know, you have to focus on the draw and then it's presentation and tracking the target and then staying on target. So it's one thing that you need to work on after next. And once you're trying to kind of incorporate them all, when you're not smooth out of the draw, that's when everything just kind of like just takes, it just falls apart. And that's what I was kind of experiencing. Not used to drawing as quickly as I needed to be. And that's something like you were saying, is that's something you can just do at your house. Like you don't need to go out to the range, you don't need to do a thing. You don't even need to aim at anybody. It's just practicing getting back. I think that was one of the things for me in just getting the proper hand position. Right. The draw is what everything else kind of builds up on. So figuring out the draw eats up the most time, but also the better draw you have, the better grip that you have, it just sets you up for a better build role, you know, less time, better time on target, tighter groups. And it's just kind of figuring out that you hear that term economy of motion, right? Making the quickest presentation with the minimum amount of movements. It's just something just takes time. And again, this is what my really second time actually kind of working on it. And I feel like I've got better. Like you said, you do something for too long, especially at 110 degrees, things just start, start crashing, start crashing, start falling off. Yeah. We start, I think we crashed pretty hard there. Yeah, no, it was great. I appreciate you guys taking the time and give me the old trips and techniques and how to fix things. But yeah, it's just something I think you just got to practice. You guys do this all the time. Pressure was there for sure. Watching these two guys just blast away. And I'm like, all right, well, this can be real bad, but it just, it got better and it adds pressure, which I think also kind of just fosters a more competitive situation. For sure. If you think about from your first video came out with us, you're shooting like a four second build drill then, you know what I mean? Now you're seeing like, oh ----, like being able to watch everything and actually be conscious for everything going on at a speed of one and a half seconds. Like it's doable. Like it's, you know, it's up there. Like that's super fast. Mark was telling me about the, the USPSA build drill championships or whatever I was watching. It's crazy, dude. You know, and, and I think the last competition, the guy won it like around a one five, five or one six or something like that. But guys, a couple of logistics things that way. Cause I know there's gonna be questions down below in the comment section. We were out here for four hours today. You don't need to be out here that long. If it's just you solo, I'd say hour and a half max. If you get to a point where you start seeing that your speeds and your draw time, everything is starting to diminish, then it's done. Like you push yourself to the limit. That's great. You want to get fatigued and then call it. And then next time you come out, you'll see like, oh wow, I'm my now my new cold start as much faster than, you know, the first time I did this. Secondly, what did we go through wise? We're probably at around seven, 800 rounds right now between three of us shooting for four hours. I'd say literally he probably shot about 400 rounds. He did the drill, you know, just the shooting a build drill, probably 40 to 50 times. And then with the other drills that we did building up to it. And then Marco and I shot about 200 rounds each for this, I would say come out for an hour and a half with maybe two, 300 rounds. Um, other things, if your fundamentals aren't sound, not solid, I wouldn't start with this guys. Like everything's got to be there as far as like, you have to understand grips, um, you know, side alignment, side picture, trigger, troll, breathing, follow through all that stuff needs to be in play before you can just jump into this. Um, Marco, you want to touch on any of that? Basically, if you make sure you get hits first, make sure your hits are good. So isolate just the shooting. Then you can isolate the draw if you need to, and then isolate whatever is lacking right at the time. And then you can add it all together. Then do it as one, if possible, it makes life easier. Questions about the setups you're running. I am running my staccato XC. The only thing that I've changed on this, I put a chili, um, Euro style grip on here. So it's got the tang of the pin beaver tail, a hollow sun, a five Oh seven competition. And then our surefire X 300 with our thumb cliff. And then Nick was running my staccato XL, um, also has a surefire X 300, but that thing is just stock from staccato. And yeah. Um, other than that, guys, if you have questions about any of the setups you're running, definitely let us know down below. Marco was running his combat master from Terran tactical. Um, and then one question I want for you guys, I know this is kind of long for the, uh, the end stuff here, but for those of you guys out there that watch to this point, I shot the bill drill in like a one eight, something with a stock lock 34. And then I shot it with a one five five. It was like a difference of less than 0.3 seconds. What are your guys' thoughts? Is it worth, you know, a $700 gun that I can shoot a build drill clean in a one eight versus a $4,000 2011 gun that I shoot build drills in, in the one fives. What are your thoughts on that? Do you think the juice is worth the squeeze? I asked Marco and he said, yes, absolutely. Get that money, get that better gun for sure. So curious to see what you guys think. The staccato XC in this configuration is one of my favorite guns I have. This is the that I run pretty much for anything that I'm trying to go fast with. Um, so let me know what your thoughts are down below. Um, definitely stay tuned after the credits for all of the fun stuff and the bloopers and stuff like that. But other than that, guys, we appreciate your support and watching. Appreciate Supervale hooking us up with the ammo for this video. Definitely like, subscribe, share this with your friends. I hope this answers any questions you guys had down below in the comment section with people that have reached out on Instagram via DM. Um, if you got anything else, leave it down below in the comment section. As always, we'll see you in the next one. I won still. My Asian math is off. I think it's 35 times. Six would be 210. Six times five is 30 and six times three is 18. So that's one 80, one 80 plus 30. Yeah. 210, not, not 185, one 97, one 97 clean homie. Boom. So if you stayed after the credits and you're watching this video, you didn't think we were going to let you guys have a video without Marco getting this up too. Nice. The other thing too, Marco actually runs his holster at the normal ride height. I use a drop and offset that way. It's a little lower for me, but he does this because when he's shooting two gun, he has to get in these different positions and it's just more advantageous to have the holster up higher for him after my body type wasn't happening. So I'm like, I'll take the hit on the draw for better mobility. So.
