The second one offers some good problems/ causes to look for.
That first one is waaaay to complicated.
It's been my experience in 16 years of instructing that you can't diagnose a shooting problem by looking at a target..you need to watch the shooter...ya I know..common sense!

...depends on what you are shooting...

When I want to watch myself, I just use the tripod from my spotting scope, and screw the digital camera onto it in movie mode. It's pretty easy really.

I find it very helpful as it explains which part of the grip/hand influences which direction.
