# Your Shooting Records

A shooting record (or "shoot") is a log of a single session — when you shot, where, which firearms you used and how many rounds. Keeping them up to date matters: your club needs them for compliance, and they give you a complete history of your own shooting in one place.

## Logging a shoot

How you log depends on your club's setup:

* **Before you attend** — when you [book an event](/for-members/booking-onto-events.md), you may be asked to choose the firearms you'll shoot. Your record is created with the booking.
* **After you attend** — if you're not asked up front, you'll get a reminder on your dashboard to log what you shot once you've attended.

You can also log a **standalone shoot** that isn't tied to a club event — handy if you've been shooting elsewhere — so your personal record stays complete.

When you choose your firearms, you'll see your own guns and your club's guns. If you shot with a gun someone lent you, it appears here too once they've shared it with you in Range Mate — see [Sharing and Borrowing Guns](/for-members/sharing-guns.md).

If you shot **non-lead ammunition** (such as copper or synthetic), tick the **Non-lead munition** box when you log those rounds. They still count towards your round totals and shooting history — the tick just tells your club not to include them in the lead estimates it keeps for the range's back-stop.

## Editing and verification

A Range Officer at your club may **verify** your record to confirm it's accurate. Depending on your club's settings, you can edit a record for a while after the session, but records eventually **lock** (usually around the end of the quarter) and can no longer be changed — so it's best to log them promptly.

If your club requires it, you may be reminded to complete any **missing records** before you can carry on — for example if you attended an event but never logged what you shot.
