I enjoy shooting my hunting rifles at the range.

My primary goal is that the first shot hit where expected from a cold barrel. I keep a record of each shot and refer to the records

For many rifles the number of shots has been reduced to two. Of course when it does not go just right I fire more.

Here is a picture of the pen and pad I use at the range. I record the date, temperature and wind and then a log of every shot along with the load, where the shot hits and group size along with the state of the rifle. ie: "cold clean barrel" etc.
