So here I am building a nice tactical rifle/coyote killer ( my friend swares there are coyotes in the California Valley, and I am wondering about keeping track of my shots. Keeping track of my shots is more for the rifle than it is me. I have developed my own shooting skills to the point of knowing I am proficient with each of my rifles and know there quirks in and out and really don't see myself keeping track of point of impact at a given altitude at a given temp......... But keeping track of the number of shots taken is high on my list. Based on that what pages would be best for me. I am going to get a few of the animal pages so I can keep track of those kinds of things for my self. The pages I am questioning about are going to go with the rifle so that it has a little history. Sorta like saving the receipts for my 73 911. I looked at some books, including the SH post and just did not see a real good explanation of each page and didn't really want to spend $75++++ to find I only need a couple pages. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Well I'm not an expert but the major use of a data book is for you. Seems like you just want a shot logbook which from places like impact and storm are definitely not $75, alternatively you could use a rite in the rain non spiral bound notebook. Those will be around five dolalrs . if you are looking for an actual data book and would like to do so as inexpensive as possible, you can start with these http://www.shootingvoodoo.com/index.php/library/data_book_pages/
