We incorporate "calling the shot" into the instruction we give at Appleseed clinics. Just as you've mentioned- the purpose is to help you diagnose issues by comparing your called shot to whats on paper. We call that the "Rifleman's dance". Shoot a group, call the shots, examine the group, analyze the pattern, diagnose the problem, repeat. With only 2-day clinics it can be hard for it to sink in with every shooter, but the talented shooters usually have a good grasp by the end of the first day.
