Is anyone aware of charts for analyzing your shots on paper and diagnosing tendencies with technique? I have seen a couple over the years for pistol with the pie chart but never seen anything similar for the rifle. I know some things will be the same for both IE follow through and jerk the trigger etc just wondering if one has ever been put together to point people in the right direction for what they could be doing consistently wrong producing consistent misses.

Rifle correction charts to diagnose tendencies?

Re: Rifle correction charts to diagnose tendencies?
I think the key is what they could be doing wrong. I dislike these charts are they pick issues that may actually be wrong. Focus on smooth trigger release and watch what the follow through tells you. If at all possible get yourself a coach who can watch and advise.Bowman26 wrote:Is anyone aware of charts for analyzing your shots on paper and diagnosing tendencies with technique?

I have to agree with Rob - I've seen many of these posted in clubhouses and they all seem to date back to the time before SCATT and Noptel gave us some way of assessing what was going on during the process of taking a shot.
There can be many reasons why a shot goes where it does - simple explanations are not particularly helpful nor correct.
Incidentally, I did some trials with Noptel - deliberately making technical errors as described by such charts - like forcing the rifle onto the aim, snatching the trigger, lifting the rifle etc. and found no correspondence between where my shots actually went and what the charts predicted... Maybe that's just me though.

Thanks for the thoughts I was thinking the same thing about having someone watch you. I have a tendency to drop shots and I can't quite identify what I am doing. It leads me to breaking high but then I run into the problem of performing the shot perfectly a bit high and missing over the top (Silhouette). It is not a persistent problem but it is very typical.
I've never seen a chart for rifles if you can post one I would still like to see what it says.
