Turret stickers

Have you considered removing the zeros, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5 ect?

That would work too. I would do that if the numbers were too cluttered, but it seemed to work out with the spacing.

Video explains how to make turret tape on adobe illustrate. I like rocks and stick so I do the tape and pen method.

Love this thread, yeah scope stickers are kind of silly, I like the printed out ones and painters tape!

I tested some scope stickers out this season, along with a ballistic rangefinder. Ballistic rangefinder gives me a mill hold. This season when a buddy used their own rangefinder I was able to dial based on yardage since I haven’t memorized mill holds for different distances. There was a learning curve.

Here is an update on what I think is the final product. The sticker paper is pretty slick. I printed wind charts and yardage tapes for three guns on one sheet. I decided on white print on black. I added more yardages for the second rotation on my 25-06 and 223. Don’t worry, I only plan on killing rocks at that range. I printed one every five yards for my savage 220 20 gauge. Slugs drop like a rock out of that thing. I am pretty happy with how it turned out.

Solid work.

This thread had be wondering about putting a label maker on the Christmas list that could interface with a computer, need to look at what the software is capable of.

I just used my regular printer with this paper. It says it is water resistant and it doesn’t smudge at all. Feels like it will stay put.

Are you guys using a cricut?

I have one, this seems like as good as an application for it as any. Can print on sticker paper and have the cricut cut it out.

I just used a regular printer, but my mom has a cricut. That would be cool to use it for manly stuff. I am the only person who uses the sewing machine in my house, except I call it the gear thread injector.

Hahaha.

Yeah, this project screams Cricut. In their design app you can design things and perfectly dial in their real world dimensions in inches (and Metric measurements If you wish). And then the damn thing will cut it out exactly the way you want it to.

Your numbers need to be in reverse order

and the circumference needs to be measured with the label on it
I used to do tapes in Mcam but now I just use an Avery label and pen.
