[QUOTE="406precision, post: 970781, member: 69335"] I've posted this pic before but here is a combo that works really well . I have never been a fan of attaching a dope card to my rifle...for a few reasons one it's not very ergonomic to look at when I'm prone and two drop charts have the same Achilles heel turret tapes do they don't adapt well to changes in environmental conditions. So what we now do is use a kestrel or other instrument to gathe our environmental info enter it into our ballistics program and then transfer this info to a pre printed drop chart. Moving the chart from the rifle to my left forearm makes it very easy to see and access this info. I never throw the cards out just keep them in my pack soon I have most conditions covered and I can just slip the card in and run. If the shot goes beyond 1000 yards or the conditions have changed I defer to my technology. As for fast if it's 600 and under I use my reticle and don't touch my turrets. The cool thing about the world we live in is that we have all these options and the tech to make it happen. This allows us to design a system that works well for our individual shooting needs.
