The short answer is it helps in the data analysis later.. And It is a real benefit to me..
The longer answer.. Hello I am Frank, and I am an accurate-aholic - look at my sig.. Then add to it the fact I am also anal retentive, which means I collect all kinds of data and crunch it six ways to Sunday so to speak.. Finally given the fact I am a software engineer I have the opportunity to use enterprise level database tools.. I just don't go out and shoot; I go out and spend the day collecting load performance data <grin>..
With that said, I hate to admit it, but I am not perfect on my trigger pull.. And to make matters worse, because of a vision loss in my right eye, I am having to learn to shoot left handed..
It is like getting a new pair of shoes.. It doesn't fit, and no position is comfortable.. I took out 'painless' the other day.. Thus named such because every deer I have ever shot with it, has dropped dead in its tracks.. It is my Rem 700vs which is capable of shooting sub 1/4" groups, and I just couldn't get it to fit.. It really sucks..
So every once in a while, I will pull a shot.. I know it when I do.. It's usually not much, but if I am doing load development I want to be sure not to use the pulled shot when making a determination about the accuracy of the load.. It is nothing to add audio to the input to the DVR..
This way I would have a record of each shot, its velocity, and any comments I may want to make, all without having to take my focus away from the sights and target..
Best of all, I have most of the stuff on hand, gathering dust.. I originally bought it for use as security system..
Nice lookin' place to shoot. Don't blame you a bit for developing a private range.
