Keep a collection of clean one quart spray bottles in the tool shed. When you go out to the garden, mix up a quart of weed killer and hook the bottle to your belt. Don't forget to label the bottle clearly with an indelible marker so that you'll never mistakenly use that bottle for insecticide or anything else.
Carry the bottle with you and zap any weeds you see as you go. There is no need to drag out a heavy sprayer. With a spray bottle, you will use far less weed killer and you will know exactly where every drop went.
