The majority of Data log books are designed for a military, police role. My data log book cost me $2.00 Canadian at the looney plus store, and has space for every bit of information I need and then some. Just a binder with some loose leaf, but havent found a comercial book out there for $2.00 that can hold anywhere near the information mine can.

You can buy a genuine log book for either Bench rest, NRA across the course shooting, or long range target from Sinclair International.
You can also buy a genuine DCRA log book form Paul Reibin at Rangesports Unlimited or off the DCRA site.
These are very useful for competion shooting at the vatious distances needed.
I use the same as LRC however, becuase I shoot so many different rifles and and handload for many different people.
I don't always need to plot a group on a target, but can transpose it onto the sheet or simply cut the group out and stick it in there.
I also record all the other little stuff that goes into the mix, such as when I cleaned the rifles, round count, what I saw on the day going to the range etc.
(VERY important for scouting forays!
)
I quit using an official log book quite a few years ago because I found that a standard note book actually was a better rig for me.
Those two sources can be of help if you need an official one, however.....

Edit: Sorry partner... misread the "logging" thingy.... I think this is a ballistics program only....

There are two diverging trends in DCRA for record keeping. Some guys swear by the Plot-o-matic, others prefer paper cards with graphing bars.
The Plot-o-matic is good for no-braining the corrections. It is a plexiglas sheet over a grid, and it moves up down left right with each shot. It can keep you in the rings without having to read and react to your own paper plots. However, it is wiped off after each range and there is no lasting record. Paper cards on the other hand are permanent. If you take time to recognize your patterns and get on the bubble for corrections, they can work just as well.
