Note Bullet Strikes
When you fire repeated shots at the same target, it’s difficult to remember the sequence in which they were fired. Keep an identical target beside you on the shooting bench. As you fire each shot, locate
the bullet strike on the downrange target, then locate and number each corresponding strike on your shooting-bench target. Logging each shot helps determine the effectiveness of scope adjustments. If you flinch and shoot a “flyer,” it’s easier to ID its downrange location.
