turret tape for custom dialing?

[boxhitch]

Not necessarily for a specific cartridge/load, looking for something to mark as required
Have seen single and double row numbers on turret tapes available but also read of printing ones own tape
Has anyone printed their own with success

depending on your elements it can be as easy as masking tape, sharpie, and some clear packing tape over it. You can get technical and figure out your circumference and print out an actual label.

You can also use a colored marker and simply mark your existing turret.
If you use wet erase, it is easy to remove the mark.

existing is black with light marks
tapes are white with hash marks and numbers, far easier to p/u in a rush iwt

Here's the only good pic I have of the 'parallax ring' I put on my Athlon Argos G2 8-34x56 FFP. I used 'white-out tape' from a 'roller-thingy' on the ring, then marked for 50 & 100. Haven't got further distances yet . . . The Ring i got on Amazon for about $15 ( a 'generic ring' and had to 'fit it' with elec-tape to get it snug. Gets me 'close' real quick, then fine tune easily. If I was competing I'd mark it for a particular ammo.

Good idea, I may just get some white vinyl tape from an auto painting buddy

Have never found the need to dial parallax during a stage, never time for fine tuning for me )

My wife loves to buy labels from Amazon to label the kids' stuff, particularly things they take to school like water bottles and tupperware. They don't come off easy, we've got some that have been through the dishwasher countless times over multiple years and are still on the bottle, and they can be fed through your printer to put whatever you want on them. Might be something you could adapt for your use?

Got some ideas after seeing Wild Elements and Practical Tactical on utube, for preset marks

May just go easy-to-change IDTS tapes for the prs rig, Cdn and the price is good
and use permanent pen for the hunting rigs

The YouTube guy by the name of backfire has a store that he sells yardage stickers that go on your dial. They are actually pretty slick.

I just mark mine with a silver sharpie if I want to have yardages for quick dialing. Allows you to change them to adjust for conditions as needed to.

Unfortunately Backfire doesn't ship to Canada

I bought mine from: https://ballistix.ca/

Not cheap ($50), but completely customizable and fit like a glove. You pre-fill all your ballistics data on a webform, select your scope from a list, and he prints them up. Includes two extras and donut decal for the top of the turret showing the data similar to a Leupold custom turret.

If you have dialed in your distances with clicks you can generate turret tapes with chaigun.



The PC program is a bit old but works accurate. Need a bit of tinkering, but export to pdf and can have a backup for printing.



The other option is generating a dope card from Strelok Pro. Examples with e-paper screen, image transfer with NFC.



The other scope I don't want to click the turrets but wanna do holdover.
This is dope card for MDR (milldot rapid) reticle, for my airgun property damage protection.
Scope zeroed at 20, 5 to 20 meters on left side and above 20 on the right side.

Every cellphone today have a NFC, in 5 seconds transfer is done = Strelok has an integrated function for this.
