The Shooter’s Signature Journal · Gen 2.0

Not a notebook. A training system.

Quiet discipline. Clear structure. Repeatable excellence.

What’s new in Gen 2.0 (quick scan)

  • Full system redesign — from layout to language; calmer, clearer, faster to use.
  • Training modesTrain · Trust · Flow · Match built into the daily pages.
  • Pressure tools inside — 'If–Then' decision library, pre-performance routine and more.
  • Shared language front section — so shooters, coaches, and sport psychs speak the same system.
  • Calendar reworked — month-by-month view so that plan blocks and competition rhythm flow.
  • Review cadence — weekly, quarterly, yearly—tight and practical.
  • Evidence note — shows the performance principles this system is built on.

Who it’s for

  • ISSF pistol athletes (10m, 25m, 50m) who want intention and structure when they train.
  • Coaches who need a common framework companion tool across athletes
  • Self-directed shooters who prefer calm, disciplined progression over hype

Why it works

Structure when you train. Silence when you execute.
This system links awareness, data, and reflection so habits hold under pressure.

  • Clarity: one page = one purpose.
  • Consistency: minimal friction; the right prompts, not more boxes.
  • Pressure stability: routines, cues, and resets built into the workflow.
  • Coach-first: if your coach differs from the page—follow your coach.

The system arc

Start with clarity → Train with intention → Execute under pressure → Compete with trust → Reflect with precision.

How to use (capacity-based, not perfection)

Good: cue + trained effort
Better: cue + 1–2 notes
Best: full system on training days
There are no failed days—only capacity today and consistency tomorrow.

Trusted. Tested. Evolved

Refined through research, range feedback, and real-world performance.

We asked 2025 journal owners what they wanted in the next generation — and we listened. Then we paired that insight with our own extensive research, on-range testing, and consulted with coaches and sport psychologists to rebuild the system from the ground up.

  • Shooter-tested: refined by ISSF athletes from club to national level.
  • ISSF accurate: aligned with the latest ISSF frameworks.
  • Coach approved: designed for integration into structured training programs.
  • Sport psych validated: grounded in evidence-based performance principles.
  • Olympian feedback: informed by input from world-class shooters.

Our first 2025 edition sold in three countries over two print-runs and was featured in Swinburne University’s Sport Psychology unit materials.

FAQs

Is this just a diary?
No. It’s a structured training system aligned to ISSF practice and competition.

I’m between beginner and intermediate—too advanced?
No. The capacity model scales—use cues only on light days; full pages when you’re building blocks.

Does it replace my coach?
No. It supports coaching. If guidance differs, follow your coach.

What about scores and SPA tracking?
Use the Score Book and wall charts; the journal links training → competition → review.

Do I need to fill every box?
No. Use the structure that fits your capacity today.
