Yesterday's Weapons Forums

Photo of me is 2 years ago, but used the same rifle, and same set-up today. Got up late, so I only took 40 rds, and used half the range time to socialize and see what others were shooting.
The best targets of the day below.

that does it , you got me fired up to take mine out to the range - maybe tomarrow ,

BTW nice shootin , she looks to be a nice one

In case some of you've noticed, I usually snip targets where they gun grouped well, and data them. I have a file cabinet with a manila folder on just about every rifle I shoot. I staple the targets of the day for that rifle together and slip them into the folder. Thus, if in the event I want to sell, or just check, I have clear examples of what the rifle can, or can not do.

now that is a great idea , i like the file for each rifle idea , ive done a lot of research on some of mine and compiled a lot of referance materials that could go there as well , ......but it sounds like i may be getting another 4 drawer file , wonder where im going to put that ?

I've been keeping looseleaf notebooks for each of my rifles for a lot of years. I do all of my testing prone. Test targets get pasted in, or just three-hole punched and added in:





I have "pocket pages" to hold the score/data books with match data:



So I have a record of my triumphs



... and also my flops

WOW, you do that for all your rifles? I would loose track of mine as I tend to take 4 rifles or more when I go out. Yours is a great idea

Yes, I keep track of all of my rifles this way. "Occasional shooters" only get a tabbed section in a notebook.



"Regular competitors", get their own notebook. And some that I have owned for a long time, like the 03A3 in the example, have more than one notebook.

BTW, I save "bad" groups, too. It keeps me from trying to reinvent the wheel. The system helps me keep track of zeros and round counts on a barrel, too.

that appears to be a very organised way of doing it , i like the idea , now to try to apply something similar to my range style - a bit spontaneous depending on the way the day is going
