Question 1

General Info

Accepted Answer

Reading shooter inputs to understand outputs—and what to fix next
Most shooters can see what happened on a target.
Fewer can see why it happened while it’s happening.
Video changes that.

Many shooters record short clips of drills, stages, or positional work. Some can self-diagnose effectively. Others know something is off but can’t reliably connect what they’re seeing on video to what shows up on the target—or how to fix it. Tips from the internet often focus on surface-level cues and miss the real input driving the result.

That’s where RifleKraft Video Target Reading comes in.
Over the years, I’ve reviewed thousands of shooter videos and targets, both independently and through shooting schools that use the Kraft Challenge as a diagnostic and improvement metric. When paired with video, recurring patterns become easier to trace back to their source. Inputs reveal themselves. Outputs make sense.
This service exists to identify those input–output relationships and give you clear, testable direction forward.

Question 2

What this is

Accepted Answer

RifleKraft Video Target Reading is a manual review of short shooting or stage footage, focused on identifying the inputs that are producing your observed results.
This is not automated analysis. Every submission is reviewed independently.
The goal is not to critique style or technique in isolation. The goal is to identify the dominant input influencing performance right now, connect it to what you’re seeing on the target or stage result, and prioritize what to work on next.

Question 3

What this includes

Accepted Answer

• Review of a short video clip (drill, stage, or positional shooting)
 • Identification of dominant shooter inputs affecting output
 • Connection between video-observed inputs and target or stage results
 • Ruling out common misdiagnoses
 • Prescription of 2–3 focused drills only, matched to the identified input
 • Guidance on what improvement should look like

Question 4

What this is not

Accepted Answer

This is not a general form check.
This is not slow-motion commentary on every movement.
This is not live coaching or an open-ended back-and-forth.
If you’re looking for live correction, extended video review sessions, or real-time coaching, that’s better handled in a clinic or one-on-one setting.

Question 5

What this is for

Accepted Answer

This is for shooters who:Record their shooting but want clearer interpretation
 • Record their shooting but want clearer interpretation
 • Feel disconnected between what they see on video and what shows up on targets
 • Are stuck repeating the same corrections without lasting change
 • Want to understand inputs and outputs, not just copy techniques

Question 6

Shooter and video intake

Accepted Answer

Each Video Target Reading starts with a short intake to provide context.
This includes shooter intent, type of shooting shown, equipment used, and performance goals.
The intake ensures the video is reviewed in context—not in isolation.

Question 7

What you submit

Accepted Answer

• A completed intake form
 • One short video clip (or clearly labeled clips) showing the shooting to be reviewed
 • Optional: photo of the resulting target or stage score, if available

Question 8

What you receive

Accepted Answer

• A written Video Target Reading summary
 • Identification of the dominant input affecting performance
 • Common misdiagnoses ruled out
 • A short, focused set of drills to test and apply
 • An edited feedback video highlighting key moments and observations

Question 9

What is this?

Accepted Answer

RifleKraft Target Reading is a manual, pattern-based review of a single target. Each submission is reviewed independently. This is not automated analysis.

The goal is to identify the dominant influence affecting your shot dispersion right now, rule out common misdiagnoses, and point you toward the most productive next step in training.

Question 10

What's included?

Accepted Answer

• Pattern-based analysis of a single KraftDrill or similar assessment if I provide another for specific use cases.
 • Identification of the dominant variables that could be influencing dispersion
 • Ruling out common misdiagnoses
 • Prescription of 2–3 test / training drills, matched to the linked variable(s)
 • Guidance on what improvement should look like if training is done as suggested

Question 11

What this is not

Accepted Answer

• This is not a one-time fix for everything in your shooting.
 • This is not live coaching or an extended back-and-forth conversation.
 • This is not generic chart-based correction.
 • If you’re looking for live correction, video review, or iterative feedback over multiple sessions, that’s better handled in a clinic, coaching, or a one-on-one.

Question 12

Who this is for

Accepted Answer

This is for shooters who:
 • Are seeing patterns on their targets they don’t know how to correct or understand
 • Have hit a plateau despite regular practice and other courses
 • Want clarity on what actually matters next
 • Are willing to focus on one priority before stacking more changes ( The RifleKraft Way)

Question 13

Shooter and target intake

• A written Target Reading summary or video summary, depending on what option you choose
 • Identification of the dominant variable
 • Common misdiagnoses ruled out
 • A short, focused set of drills to run next
 • Clear guidance on what improvement should look like
