[QUOTE="Fox Hunter, post: 647640, member: 39861"] I use a plain ole composition notebook; one for each gun. The first couple of pages have all the info about the rifle or handgun including model and serial #s. Any and all attachments and accessorys such as scope and mounts plus levels and ACIs, holsters, ect. I also have when and where each was purchased with those serial #s. The next couple of pages have my standard load info and my cleaning proceedures written out in detail - a quick clean, a thorough clean and copper removal. After that, each shooting session is noted with shot count, cleaning, if the gun was jarred or dropped, weather conditions during the shooting session. If hunting, success' or failures. If target shooting, I'll include the target if something significant happened and anything else I can think of. Sounds like a lot BUT with it I discovered that with a particular rifle, certain cleaning and weather combinations affect coldbore POI dramatically. I used to blame the scope for not holding zero. Now I know what to expect with each rifle. If a new problem shows up then at least I have some data to look at. [/QUOTE]
