PRS Talk Best logbook for stage debriefs/analysis?

[KnowNothing256]

Hey all, I recall seeing a logbook recommended on here once upon a time, but I remember it seeming to be primarily focused on training on paper. It captured conditions, cold bore, zeroing activities, and impact logging for all shots with room for comments on whatever (body position, good/poor fundamentals, whatever you chose to write down).

I was at a 22LR comp the other day, dropped plenty of silly points, and realized mid-match that I really wished I was taking notes right after each stage while it was fresh so I could try to hone in on what went wrong and what went right.

What would the Hide recommend for something like that? I'm thinking I'd just print a shrinky-dinked description of the COF and tape it into the notebook for the page where the notes are for that COF, unless there's something better out there?

Write in rain notepad and pen should work. A data book won’t help during a match.

I just write on my course of fire what my score for the stage was, and some small note about why I missed targets.... that usually does the trick if I want to review at a later date.

Of course, there's also the long drive home reliving every mistake made and where you would have finished if only.....

I do exactly what Sheldon does - I keep a hard copy of the COF with me and jot down score, and any notes pertinent to the stage as soon as I get off the firing line: Was I stable? Did I break good shots? Why did I drop points? Was it wind, my position, trigger break, wobbly-ass prop, etc? After I get home I'll go through and find things I need to work on and shore up and practice to improve.

Thanks for the recommendations. I don’t have a data book at all, so I picked up a couple, including one billed as NRL22-focused since that’s what I shoot these days; we’ll see if they make sense for comp use or not. If not, stage printouts are easy.

Thanks again.

I just take screenshots of the NRL22 stages directly from their website when they get posted.....

Then I use the paint/edit settings in my gallery. I save them seperate in their own gallery subsection. I make pertinent notes, write in dope, or add ways to war game it.

I can use this edited image to write out stage specific dope cards for my wrist coach or my data card on my rifle on the day or well beforehand. No need to run data all day or for the most part no need to really access the phone at all unless dope for whatever reason is way off.
