Layered
A diary is how you tell a change that worked from a good day. It only helps if you fill it in every time, so keep it short.
Eight things to record
- Date, range and distance. Indoor or outdoor, and the light or wind if you were outside.
- Rifle and ammunition. Include the batch if you are testing ammunition.
- Sight settings. Any clicks you made, and why.
- Score for each card. Card by card, with the total.
- Group for each card. Size, and where it sat against the centre.
- What you worked on. One thing, in a few words.
- How it felt. Tired, rushed, settled. Patterns show up here before they show up in the score.
- One thing for next time. A single line you will read before the next session.

What an app can fill in for you
Half of that list is bookkeeping. Notch saves each card you score with its rifle, range and date, works out the score and the group from the photo, and shows the trend across sessions. That leaves you the three lines only you can write: what you worked on, how it felt and what comes next.

Questions
What should I record in a shooting diary?
The date and range, the rifle and ammunition, your sight settings, the score and group for each card, what you worked on, how it felt and one thing to do next time.
Is there a shooting diary app?
Notch keeps one for you. Each card you score is saved with its rifle, range and date, and trends show how your scores and groups move.
