That looks pretty comprehensive. Here’s the one I use.

but even this gets to be a fuss. Bulls, hits, grazes and missed. Sometimes you know you had a 20th shot but you just can’t find it. That’s when you’ve probably missed the target all together (but it sounds different) or you’ve hit a previous hit (a Robin Hood) so there’s no new hole to find. When my group improved I’d have hits on hits but it sounded like I’d missed the target.

This is for fun though. That’s why when it was murders to shoot in a gale I just went home. Later I shot at unknown distances at non paper targets and it was fantastic but I love to improve too. The graph is just for fun. Some people would find it stifles them. I hope to see a progression but I also know that performance can nose dive as you consciously try to repeat what works and end up overthinking it.
When it comes together it is just so great. I had a couple this week where I just followed the steel ball fly as flat as can be straight to the target with a smack and I knew it was a hit before it landed.
I ŵasnt going to post before next weekend but I had a great morning. Better weather = better shooting. 70 odd percent.

But the best bit is not the improved accuracy but the grouping on the bottom left.
Consistency of form matters more than how i shoot. As long as I do exactly what i did last time i will hit exactly the same place. The challenge comes with all the other variables such as weather, light and age of bandset. Ill let you know how I get on next week.

Can’t wait to get to my range tomorrow. I’ve spent hours on my pouch grip and release with subsequent inconsistency but it may just be starting to come together.

This is just a relatively close range target I scribbled at home. But the group was tiny. I also took out a small plastic bottle at 8 metres, once with a large stone and once with a small stone. Looking promising.
By the way you’ve got some nice frames there.

The 80% baseline was a fluke at 8 metres. I’m now working from 10 metres. Have had some bad weather that brought the averages down. Messed about with technique (experimented). Watched some instructional videos. Changed from flat bands (which snapped) back to 1745 looped tubes. Bit of a pull and overpowered for the ammo I’m using. I’ve ordered 2040s which will hopefully keep my hands steadier (I have a tremor as it is).
Week three.
B:1 H:9 G:1 M:10 Acc:52%.
I’m okay with this even though things have got worse as I’m looking for predictability and at the moment I keep changing things.
