Does anyone keep a log book to help analyse their shooting? A guy I was shooting with last week had a home made one which involved plotting each shot on a graph. He did try and explain to me what it was all about but I'm afraid he lost me quite early on. It also took ages to fill in!

I've been guilty of not keeping any kind of record of my small bore shooting (other than sight marks for various distances) so I have no way of seeing if I'm improving or not. I shoot a card and if it feels and looks okay then that does me (i never actually score them..)

So, anything available to buy or download?

Our junior shooters get issues a shooters notebook:

This has pages where they can log their groups and see where they are going and what they should have done to adjust the group onto the centre of the target, notes can also be added to go back over if anything was learned and where people realise something about their shooting. as well as recording averages and scores.

I used a book when I first started, but it went by the way-side and I concentrated more on my competition averages than anything else.

I did the same to be honest, went straight into competitions - this will be my first outdoor season.

This is worth a look, provides a log book and also scores for you, as long as the targets you want to use are supported

Oooooo, now, I'm liking that a lot :-)

I've started using one of these for noting down scope settings etc etc, only cost a few quid and has the benefit of being waterproof....handy for places like Sennybridge!.
