Shot Plotting

[humptyjumped]

I was wondering who out there does this... I have been looking for a plotting sheet so I could see how I am grouping.

Anyone have one?

Here is the one I use, I like the amount of room it has for numbering the shots on the plotting area itself.

Sorry for the stupid question but whats the purpose of the plotting sheet and how does it help.

It helps keep track of your shots during practice/competition as well as space for recording conditions, elevation changes, etc...

Plotting shots allows you to properly center your group and establish a mean point of impact. It also allows you to see trends to which you might be oblivious. I personally prefer using a linear shot plotter rather than just drawing dots on a miniature target. No problems with telling which shot was which.

Found an excellent one that you can bring into Microsoft Excel and customise...

Plotting sheets only work IF you have someone marking your target after every shot. Remote camera setups do the same thing. Or you can see where your bullet landed - bring money.

If you are just shooting a few rds on the target then going down to check (shooting blind), there is nothing to plot.

If you are shooting without markers, you will be spending money on excellent spotting scopes and/or rifle scopes.

The goal is to let you keep notes on what you think conditions are doing, where you aimed to compensate, and what actually happened. Use this info to make more 'accurate' corrections for future shots.

You will need to stay consistent with your observations and develop a language to document.

You will also need a rifle/load and shooting that is consistent/accurate enough to make observations valid.

I'm looking for plotting sheets that show V bull at .5 MoA, 5 ring @ 1 MoA, 4 ring @ 1 MoA, etc?

I need to copy some out....any links? I'd try to alter the Excel plotting sheet but I'm at a loss as to how to do it? I can change the values but can't add the extra V ring .5 MoA circle as well as two extra lines.

This plotting sheet is not to scale. I shoot at Washtenaw and know for a fact the 10 ring is not 4 MOA nor is the X ring 2 MOA.
What the American's consider slow fire is, 2 sighters and 20 shots for score in 22 minutes, single string. You don't have time to plot, let alone run a graph and watch the mirage too. Chase the spotter and shoot if you are shooting single sting.
