I've seen posts and comments referring to "called" shots and I'd like to understand the reason/benefit of these.
Knowing the definition might help too: I take it to mean acknowledging when a shot has gone awry, or trying to ascertain where it hit on the target, based on the sight picture at the bang... Is this right?
If they are used, they clearly serve a purpose and I'd like to see if they can help my shooting improve (assuming I ever find a spare 5 mins to actually go to the range.... ).
One conclusion was that it might be a conscious means of eliminating shots from an accuracy group that are clearly user error, or perhaps some method of assessing trigger discipline.
Am I close?
