Here is some great information here if you are new or seasoned shooter. Jerry Miculek is a good source of information when it comes to firearms.
A new Template option has been added to the ArmoryBook editors. Templates allow quick and consistent entering of notes, as well as ensure that no information is forgotten. Two key places that templates can be utilized to increase consistent are Range and Maintenance information. Access the templates with the temple button in the upper left of the toolbar.
Clicking on the template button will display a list of available templates along with a description. Simply select the desired template. Pay close attention to the checkbox at the bottom of the list, if this is checked, the contents of the current note will be OVER WRITTEN with the contents of the template. If you simply want to ADD the template contents to the current notes, remove the check mark and the temple contents will be inserted at the current cursor position.
Below are the current 7 system templates and a short description.

The Maintenance Aging Panel(new) is great to monitory total rounds fired, rounds fired since last maintenance, last maintenance type and time since last maintenance in words. This is a great tool for staying on top of gun maintenance and not waiting for the system to post a notification.
Below you can see three of the new charts: Caliber Breakdown, Collection Value and Country Breakdown. Clicking on a slice/bar of the chart will display a report or listing of the related guns.
