Strategic Edge Rifle Data Book

[Allen One1]

Do you keep a data book on your rifle? I have been keeping notes in a spiral notebook each time I go to the range, I try to be consistent but when I go back through I find places where I haven't noted detailed data completely enough to be useful. I have been looking for a data book that is close to what I have been recording but most of them don't seem to capture the right data, I'm a precision shooter (PRS style) not a sniper on a mission.
I recently got a copy of the Strategic Edge Precision Rifle Data Book which I think covers what I do pretty well it covers the rifle as well as your daily shot log. You can view this book on Amazon if you haven't seen it. Have you used it, what do you think of it?

A link? I don't see it, and I would be interested in the answers as well.

I use the App " Gun Log" It can keep all of the info, + ammo, round count, maint, shooting sessions, with details including photo of target.

Didn't know if I could post a link.

They are proud of it I see.

A little higher than the Impact books but I just couldn't get comfortable with their layout.

More and more often, I am using my cell phone for rifle data storage.

It’s 2019 fellas...

Yes I have a cell phone and a Kestrel and a laptop or two. But I have also had hard drives crash and Applied Ballistics wipe out all my information. Then you go back to the "book" and rebuild everything that you can. The better the notes the faster the rebuild. Look at it as a backup if nothing else my phone is hard to read when I get in bright light too.

But it's like a good rifle, each one is different and each person is different as well. You have to use what you are comfortable with and what works.

Are you the one person who bought it and reviewed it.

We solved that problem a long time ago.

Electronics aren’t islands, and haven’t been for a decade. I have access to the same database for my firearms on both of my iPads, my three computers, both my personal and work phone, my old phones, my wife’s phone, and any computer/tablet/phone I could even BORROW for a few minutes. Infinitely accessible and transferable. And it’s always in my pocket, instead of on the shelf above my bench at home.

If it’s 2019 and you’re at risk of losing access to your data, that’s no fault of electronics, it’s a user error for not utilizing the tools as it should be.

Yep, years ago the guys in IT told me if I didn't have it saved in three different spots (No Cloud back then and I still wouldn't include it), then you don't own it.

All of my reloading info gets immediately saved to hard drives on two different computers, two different external drives, and a couple of flash drives, then every once in a while to an external drive I keep in the gun safe.

The first time I last significant data I started doing this. I was fussing about it to the IT guys and that is when they told me about the three different spots thing, no sympathy at all from them.
