First post, though I've been lurking a while now. I searched a bit, but couldn't seem to find the answer - probably because I was searching the wrong terms.
Well, recently I decided to get into some target shooting, mostly as a holiday from sporting clays and trap. I've never been much of a shot, but it seems like shooting rests and good optics make up for some of my inexperience. I was just wondering about the proper method of measuring my groups. Am I correct in assuming that I should measure from center-of-hole to center-of-hole? Also, with what should I measure? Calipers? And what the heck are scoring gauges used for, or rather how are they used?
Anyway, I'll shut up and read. Thanks for a good set of forums.
