Turret stickers

[rclouse79]

I saw some turret stickers on a scope and thought they might be cool so I bought a set for $8. I didn’t like them as much as I thought I would because they were hard to get straight, and took up too much room while covering up the scope markings. I tried my homemade version and put a strip of clear gorilla tape over the painters tape to keep it waterproof. I would still look at my phone or dope card if I had time, but thought this might be nice for quick shot opportunities.

This is the way….thought I was the only one. I don’t even know my numbers anymore…

Glow in the dark paint. I put a single drop at my 300, 400, 500 yard settings. It'll stay on for years or you can scratch it right off with a wooden toothpick point.

ETA: like this:







Dirt simple.

I do this with some of my scopes using an excel spreadsheet, I adjust the column width to match the tick spacing. Usually I'll have to play with the printing % scale a tad to fine tune it.

I was actually thinking about doing this!

Some of the feedback on here made me realize my first attempt was bush league. I used calipers to measure the diameter of my turret and calculated the circumference. Made a spreadsheet using my shooting app to record my mils for every ten yards out to 800. Used the spreadsheet to multiply the circumference by the mils for that yardage divided by total mils for one revolution. Estimated each data point on a digital ruler. The final product will look like the second picture without the ruler. Then I will have to adjust the size of it so when it prints it is exactly equal to the circumference. Thinking about buying some sticker paper I can print on to put it on the turret.

Your numbers need to be in reverse order

Indeed. I would have noticed at some point, but better all of Rokslide know that I am an idiot. Hopefully I can just flip the image.
