Round Count Spreadsheet

[Spiff]

I built this Excel spreadsheet last year to keep track of how many rounds I'd shot all year. Thought you folks might be able to use it also. I've attached both my filled out 2013 one so you can see how it works and the newish mostly blank 2014 one. As long as you use insert and delete row to add or delete calibers everything should behave itself. I use the second page of the spreadsheet to copy (tip: paste as values only and then delete the rows that aren't used) the most recent event, export it as a text file (tab delimited) and then paste in the BS thread.

If you want to use it and you don't quite know how, post your questions in this thread and I'll see if I can help you out.

nice!

Very Nice. This is awesome. I might just have to use this myself.

Nice but I can't save it on my iPhone which is why I use the round count thread. So I can update my list in the field.

Has anyone used RangeLog? it is $4.99 in the app store. Its quite a bit more than a round counter (but it does that also)

I'm forced to use their site thru 3GN and that is enough for me! What r u trying to do squash these threads?

I just cant do the whole round count thing. At the end of the season I have a pile of primer boxes underneath my bench that I clean up as part of my end of season cleaning. I get an approximate round count from that but I don't really wanna know. If I start putting a dollar sign with my ammo count its gonna be ugly.

As far as my wife knows I shoot about 5k rounds a year....lol

Shooting more equals improvement. To me practicing/shooting without keeping a round count one year versus the next is like running drills without a timer.

 

[jtischauser]

One of my fears is that I'll shoot twice the ammo this year than I did last year and I don't get any better.

I respectfully disagree with the highlighted statement.

If that happens, your training wrong.

ETA....Its a cool spreadsheet Austin T. I'm going to try it out.

.

If you do the same live fire drills twice as much you don't think you'll get better?

i agree with jesse. if you are not getting better something is wrong. you have to push your self to get better. i cant happen overnight.

Increased Volume equals better outcomes? to a point

Only if the practice is "perfect".

Its a fact of human performance.... if you have some bad habit or compromised action doing it over and over (and over) only ingrains it .... you may see a temporary improvment in the short term... but that ingrained behavior will limit your performance down the road.

To a point. Then it plateaus and you have to train smarter. That doesn't always include volume shooting.

I think it was either Enos or Leatham that said "standing on the range from sunup to sundown creating large piles of brass will not make you a national champion"

After taking a class with max Michel and having him tell me he shoots 75,000 rounds a year versus my 6,000. I think I've got awhile to go before I'm wasting ammo even if I just shot 25 rounds per day shooting nothing but groups.

Jesse is a big picture guy, just because he doesnt mention the specifics doesnt mean he doesnt know about them. Otherwise, he'd still be picking up glock mags in a field behind his work.

+1 for RangeLog. Very handy!
