Plotting Sheets
Plotting sheets for the latest (2019 onwards) NRA target faces for Bisley ranges. It’s recommended these are printed in high quality on 100-150gsm card in A4 size. Ordinary printer paper soaks easily in rain and rips and flies away on windy days.

Although heavily focused on ISSF smallbore / air shooting, the sections on sighting, trigger release and prone position are entirely applicable to TR. This is arguably the most accurate and extensive guide on the subject. Now out of print but soon to be superseded by Olympic Rifle Shooting, expected autumn 2024.
