Data Dope Card options - what works best?

[BirdDog50]

I would like to solicit information from you folks who use data dope cards on your rifles. I have tried the data dope Intel taped on the stock but always have 1 issue or another. I was looking at the Hawk Hill rail mounted dope card unit. Seems a little pricey and can't determine if you have to remove scope to install. Anyone have any experience with this unit or other recommendations? Thanks!

Laminated dope card taped to my stock has always worked well for me.

That's the same thing I do for mine

I used the hawk hill for prs. It is pricey but it's nice. You don't need to remove the scope. You can fold it all around.

There are digital DOPE cards out now that sink up with your Kestrel. It's a 3"x4" white plastic card that updates with Kestrel information that you mount next to your scope dials. just like a written one except this is digital and constant updated info.

Check out Hoptic, they make stickers that go inside your scope lens caps for your drop data in 50 yard increments out to 650 yards if I remember correctly. I use these on all of my turret scopes, then carry a laminated card in a pocket on my binocular harness with data out to my max range, this one includes wind drift.

I do think it's a bit expensive for what it is, but it works well. I like that it's got some give to it, so when slamming it in to a port/window it won't break off or get whacked out of position.

Wow, I thank you all for your expertise and willing to share your information!!!

I just hire somebody to carry all that kind of stuff for me.
You know, sorta like a hold my beer type person.

That's what Grandson's are for except when they get older they drink the beer vs holding it for you

I wrap white electrical tape around my elevation turret and mark according to the drop. Range, twist and fire. Real quick in hunting situations.

Richard that's a great idea. Were we hunt the elk & the antelope, etc are always on the move. Need to be able to read the range and dial accordingly. Don't always have much time. Thank you

After I mark the white tape with the yardage, I place clear tape over it so the ink won't get erased. And, trim it all so it is nice and neat.

I also just use wide painters tape on the plastic card. And use a sharpie to right down drop/dope.
No need to buy extra plastic cards for my use.

I could see, having a separate card for separate rifles for known distance / increments. You can just buy a bulk pack of blank PVC cards on amazon if you want for cheap. And a roll of velcro.

But mine is used for PRS stuff, so data is one time use for me.
