FB TR Score Sheets

[ovenpaa]

One issue for me is I have never got my head around the 'reverse' wind plotting even though I understand the reasoning behind it so I tend to plot backwards in that respect, I need someone to show me the correct plotting method in detail as so far I have only read a couple of tutorials which did not answer all of my questions.

I totally agree with this comment. Plotting scoresheets is best taught 1-1 and allows for much better questioning and support. I find it gobsmacking if anyone gets it first time

I had a crack at plotting this year with mixed results - I ruined a comp shoot by trying to plot and shoot at the same time (but maybe that's just me :-P ), but found some very usefull information from plotting after the shoot...

I found that I have a tendency to over correct for wind changes; so will keep plotting wind while I try to sort that out. The most usefull thing I found was how my rifle behaved during the first 5 shots through a clean barrel, which meant I could anticipate the corrections before I took the shot (so plotting after the shoot can have value for future shoots) - This is something I will have to do again, as I've just changed rifles...but am looking forward to it

Personally I won't continue trying to plot while shooting - there is enough else to think about, and relaxing is important too...Also I have to admit that I've picked up the odd point from watching the person next to me get caught out by the wind

Theres a great "How to do it" guide by David Calvert in an old journal (maybe 1990s I think) if anyone can find it. Can try and look it out tomorrow

Love

There was also a guide in a recent Target Shooter however I lost the will to live 2/3rds of the way through the article....

I didn't get the one in Target Shooter either - Heather ( I think) sent me some PPs on plotting which I learned it from...I'll see if I can work out how to post them....


Edit: Arrh - I'm not sure they're for general posting.....

I think I need to speak to that nice Heather and see when her next plotting course is going to be run

Happy to do that again whenever you want.

Do you have another course coming up early in the new year Heather?

[HeatherW762]

Hadn't planned anything but if enough want to do it, I can easily put one on.

I did make up a couple of dodgy powerpoints for teaching my club how to use the scoresheet, if anyone's interested? I say dodgy because I know they're missing one or two bits but I can never remember which until I'm halfway through teaching with them!

There's two: one which labels the scoresheet and gives a walkthrough/talkthrough of how to plot and what to put in the various boxes, and a live plotting exercise one which tests what you learned in the first.
