         9 . The measuring device of  claim 1 , wherein the point of aim alignment marking is a circle. 
     
     
         10 . The measuring device of  claim 1 , wherein the point of aim alignment marking is a silhouette. 
     
     
         11 . The measuring device of  claim 1 , wherein the point of aim is a disposable sticker configured to be used with the measuring device. 
     
     
         12 . A measuring device for determining accuracy in marksmanship of one or more shots after firing a firearm at a point of aim, the measuring device comprising:
 a transparent sheet, the transparent sheet configured to be overlaid on the point of aim and the one or more shots, the transparent sheet having printed thereon,
 a grid pattern, the grid pattern being formed from a plurality of vertical lines and a plurality of horizontal lines, the plurality of vertical lines and the plurality of horizontal lines intersecting to form a plurality of uniformly sized blocks, 
 a point of aim alignment marking, the point of aim alignment marking being located at a center of the grid pattern, and 
   wherein the point of aim alignment marking is configured to be aligned with the point of aim and the grid pattern is configured to measure a vertical number of blocks and a horizontal number of blocks of the one or more shots relative to the point of aim alignment marking and the point of aim, and   wherein one or more of the vertical number of blocks and the horizontal number of blocks of the one or more shots are used to determine a number of adjustments for adjusting a sight of the firearm.   
     
     
         13 . The measuring device of  claim 12 , further comprising a sight adjustment key, the sight sight adjustment key including a reference number of blocks and a corresponding adjustment for one or more firearm types. 
     
     
         14 . The measuring device of  claim 12 , wherein the transparent sheet is comprised of a flexible material, the transparent sheet being configured to be flexed into a rolled position for storage. 
     
     
         15 . The measuring device of  claim 12 , wherein the point of aim alignment marking is a circle. 
     
     
         16 . The measuring device of  claim 12 , wherein the point of aim alignment marking is a silhouette. 
     
     
         17 . The measuring device of  claim 12 , wherein the point of aim in a disposable sticker configured to be used with the measuring device.
