NAME: ________________________________________________________ DATE JOURNAL STARTED: _____________________________________ www.odcmp.com NLU # 749 $2.00 Updated: 04/09 Keeping a Shooter’s Journal is one of the best ways to improve target shooting scores. This Advanced Shooter’s Journal was originally designed for the CMP Three-Position Air Rifle Summer Camp Program, with the serious junior shooter in mind. But junior shooters of all levels can benefit from the information they can record in this journal. Even beginners are encouraged to take advantage of the benefits of keeping a Shooter’s Journal. The Advanced Shooter’s Journal is broken into ten sections to help shooters organize the information that they need to record to improve their shooting. Pages 1-12, Position and Equipment Notes: This section provides a checklist for the prone, standing and kneeling positions. There is also space for the shooter to record notes on their positions, sight adjustments and record an equipment checklist. Pages 13-62, Daily Goals and Analysis: This is the heart of the journal, where shooters record their daily notes for each shooting session. It is important to use this section before and after each shooting session so that defined goals are set for the practice or match and then those goals are evaluated at the conclusion of the session. This helps shooters manage training time more effectively and determine what they need to focus on for the next session. Pages 6 3-68, T raining Plan: This exercise is designed to help shooters determine their long-term goals and develop a plan to reach those goals. This is an opportunity for a shooter to do an honest assessment of where they are in their shooting and determine what they need to do to accomplish long-range goals. Pages 69-72, Shot Plan and Bullseye Approach: In this section shooters can write down the step-by-step process of their shot plan and breakdown the way they approach the bullseye on each shot. Pages 73-76, Match and Record Day Scores: Here is where shooters can keep track of their scores in matches and record practice days. Keeping these numbers in one place in a journal can help a shooter track their progress and set and evaluate score-based goals. Pages 77-90, U.S Shooting Team Balance, Strength and Stability Warm-up and Workout: This physical training program was designed by former USA National Team Member, Amber Darland, for the U.S. Shooting Team. This unique program, which was developed exclusively for shooters, is now used by several NCAA College Rifle programs and at CMP Three-Position Air Rifle Summer Camps. Pages 91-94, Notes: This is an open notes section where shooters can record any important shooting information not covered elsewhere in this journal.
