Ed Clappers points are always well taken, especially for experienced shooters - but I see so many new or inexperienced shooters with fundamental flaws ...

head popping up as they start to move
gun moves off target flight line - as they follow thru
barrel yanks hard one way as they slap the trigger
shooter looks at barrel and stops his swing
steering the gun with the forward hand ...

that grading breaks for a new shooter, or any shooter with fundamental swing issues, is pretty risky. At least if I take them to a pattern board, I know the gun hits where they look in a static environement - then I can work on the fundamentals knowing where gun shoots for them. Often with a comb on a gun that is angled - the point of impact is anywhere from 6" low to 6" high at 21 yards - and they put a heavy coat on (with an angled comb ) their face moves back on stock 1/4" and it alters the fit again and makes it even worse.
