Ballistic turret tapes

[jjgaw]

Who uses the ballistic turret tapes for hunting applications? Do you have a company you prefer and why?

I have 3 kentons. I dont remember why but that is who I choose a few years ago.

I use my marked turret tape out to 600 yds and then use my kestrel if the shot is any further. I have used the one in the link below and I have also just used a silver sharpie directly on the turret then cleaned it off with Acetone after the hunt.

I diy it with label paper and a laser jet printer. Clear packing tape over the label. Turret tape printed in Mils, then marked with fine sharpie with yardage every hundred with a 50 yd tick mark between.

I have Mils memorized for my loads but the backfire YouTube guy has some "turret tags" that look pretty cool. I've been contemplating getting some for my lesser used rifles

Turret Tags

Turret Tags by Backfire are quick-adjust yardage stickers for any scope. Simply apply the stickers to your scope to mark the correct yardage for any shot, then use the clear strip to lock the tags onto your scope so they don’t get bumped off during a hunt. The stickers are waterproof and...

I get a paint marker and make a little puddle of paint on a scrap bit of plastic packaging. I then take a very fine pointy object like a needle and write numbers on my turret with it.

If I need to change, I wipe them off with a solvent and do it again.

This has to be low key one of the most valuable threads out there. How many times I’ve stressed in the moment fumbling around with my ballistics app and turrets like a teenage boy taking off first bra!
Great ideas

It's unfortunate they just photo-shopped the stickers on the turret in the picture. Curious what these look like on a real dial. Post back some results if you go this route!

I started off trying to use some fine sharpies to mark on the turret lines, but it wasn't great in low light. This is a great idea - I'll give the paint and needle trick a go this year.

I use white electrical tape with fine marker and right the yardage. Easy to change and do it

I got my own printed with 25 yard increment markers as well. I have it out to 400 and then calculate past that.

Custom Turret Systems. The website is easy to use to design your own turret markings.

The attached photo is a stock photo from the site, I do not have a photo of one I designed.

Looks legit!

Take a look at the video on the bottom of the link and you can see the actual stickers being placed on the turret.

I have been using the precision turret stickers with good success, I did put a strip of clear packing tape on top of them.

These look nice but it appears they are sold out and the anticipated restock date is October of 2024!

I think these are the originals. I bought some well before backfire made their own.
