After my first real Bisley trip I am looking for a good way to log my shooting that is better than just a lined notebook.

Ideally I would like something equivalent to some of the dive logs I have seen in the past.
The ideal would be a waterproof binder with insert like https://www.divelogs.com/productcategor ... Category=7
and then the option to design/customise the pages a bit like https://www.divelogs.com/logdesigner.jsp or a nice template I could print on to waterproof paper (for example https://smile.amazon.co.uk/dp/B003SYOFM ... _lig_dp_it)

Is there something like this out there already?

Xmas is around the corner soon you can have chocolate logs

Do you record your shoots on score cards?

I think a lot of people just keep the score cards in a ring binder.

Fultons will sell you a ring binder that's the perfect size - but ir is a bit expensive. They sell the score cards too at 25p each. You can get similar ones elsewhere, but I prefer the Fultons ones.

All I had this week was a notepad, so I am looking for something like a score card with scale fit information like the scope settings etc.

If you plan to shoot marked targets at all seriously, you need to use a plot-sheet with the target rings superimposed on an MOA grid. Obviously a sheet showing the correct size of target is needed and also correctly dimensioned for the distance being shot over. (F-Class targets are half the ring diameters / quarter the equivalent area of the standard ICFRA / NRA centre as used in 'Target Rifle', Palma and suchlike.)

Not only does this allow a proper record of score to be kept, but also provides a visual representation of how the pattern of shots is falling and/or changes (especially in elevation) that occur during a match or shoot due to conditions changes and/or barrel heating.

Done fully, you also record estimated and actual wind values (in MOA) and/or graph the wind effects for each shot.

As we have a damp windy climate, a 'Weather Writer' is a good purchase to 1) stop the sheet blowing away down-range mid match and 2) keep it dry enough to be able to write on it.

Sheets can be downloaded from various sources - ICFRA and GB F-Class Association and others - or bought as pre-printed cards from Fultons or other target shooting specialists. I prefer A4 size to the small (A5) bought ones and simply print downloaded versions for the distances I shoot, normally on 120gsm card as it stands up to abuse and stores better than on 70gsm printer paper. If you wish to keep records simply punch and keep in a lever arch file.

Those ICFRA ones look spot on, the idea of them printed on the waterproof paper I linked to in the original post should do the job nicely.
Now to find the perfect binder/folder, something similar to the dive log ones which means they are weatherproof with space to hold things like SSC and membership cards etc. would be my ideal.

Laurie, I just noticed I forgot to say thanks to you in my reply and as it was too late to edit I thought I would add it here.

And thanks to Hunter87 I am feeling hungry

A Weatherwriter and a few bulldog clips come in handy for rainy or windy conditions too.
