    Range card for scope adjustments

    How do you guys keep your range cards? In the past ive made cheat sheet and place in my wallets or taped it to my guns sling or buttstock but i saw a guy in Norway do this and I thought I should try it. Works pretty good but as you can see, I need to wait for markers to dry. LoL.

    It looks interesting, not a bad idea. But I'm worried about how well it would stand up to rotations. I'm surprised no one has made a printed version, but then again, it would be different for the various applications/loads/optic.
    The inconvenience of poor quality lingers long after the thrill of a good bargain.

        Merc, Ive seen those before. Great option. I made mines on the go with white electric tape and some perma pens. I wouldnt mind getting custom ones but, these work so far.

        BEM, they hokd up fine to turning them, what Im worried more about is the marks fading away.

            Just sticking a layer of clear packing tape over the top should make them last a lot longer. Wouldn't take much.

              Just thinking out loud but I'd think a bit of clear tape or clear shrink tubing would give you quite a bit of protection against rubbing the numbers off

                Humm.. a shrink tube would be a great idea! Haha.

                  Go to Hawke Optics and download Chairgun or X Act. It been several years since I used them but there was a program to print turret tapes in the software. It would calculate the numbers based on input data or your own numbers and clicks could be input. Can also print a range card as well.

                    Blue painters tape and a sharpie. Stick it wherever.

                    Or, I just use my app on my phone.

                    Or, I use a sharpie and write the drops on arm.

                    Or, I just memorize the drops out to 1,000. If I need an odd distance like 673 yards or something, I'll just plug it into my app. Otherwise, for competitions, I just have my DOPE memorized for the stages. For example:

                    220 yards: 0.4 mil
                    330 yards: 1.2 mil
                    425 yards: 1.9 mil
                    550 yards: 2.9 mil

                    Not hard to remember.

                      I tried to memorize it but dang, under stress is kind of hard. Haha.

                        Armboard. Or...
                        A number of years ago I printed my come-ups out to the size of the inside of my ocular flip-up cap. Used a compass and cut it out in a circle. Sandwiched between clear packing tape and taped in place with another piece of clear packing tape. Made the in 10 degree temp. increments. Peel off top layer and replace with appropriate temp range.

                          This.

                          Type it up using a small font in microsoft word.

                          Or buy a custom one from Vortex

                            Leupold does custom turrets for their scopes as well.

                              I remember a scope that I had a few years ago for a 22LR had this. Can't remember what brand it is at the moment.
