Calling a shot means seeing where the sights are aimed at on the target when the round fires. If the sight's aligned two inches to the right of the desired place, the shot would be called 2 inches out at 3 o'clock. If you're using a 100 yard Smallbore rifle target with a 4 inch 9 ring and this happened, it would be called a wide 9 at 3.

If the bullet struck 1 inch below and 1 inch right of where you called the shot, adjust the sight to move impact 1 inch up and 1 inch left. So, where's the next shot gonna go relative to its call?

A good rifle shooter can call within 1/4 moa where a shot goes with a 1/4 moa rifle and ammo.
