Anyone know were you can buy them with buying the whole kit...Just the disks
Thanks, I'm going to use your idea. I'd been mulling around how to do the 25yd, increments for the flip cap but hadn't seen it done before now.I thought of buying them but decided to make my own instead. Gave me much more room for data and I can have as many as I need for other rifles/loads.
Excel is your friend. I can send you the file if you would like it. Send me a PM if you do.
Used a wax highlighter on yardage number and increments at either X33 yards or X00/25/50/75 for each line. Wind is simply half distance at 8mph on my rifle.

Thanks, I'm going to use your idea. I'd been mulling around how to do the 25yd, increments for the flip cap but hadn't seen it done before now.
I've been using this template for around two years now. I didnt like the 100yd interval and felt there was a better way to utilize space for more data/precision. If I'm in a situation that requires a precise shot, 100yd intervals only work out to 400-500 before the gaps can cause a pretty substantial miss with bad math.
I make 4 per load and color code them (15deg- white for super cold, 35deg - light blue for ice/cold, 55deg - light green like spring, 75deg - red for hot) and store them with rifle case/data book. Data and other info on back for reference. In Spring, it's easy to stack two into cap and swap if temps warm or cool substantially. Easy swap out when needed.
If you would like me to send my template, I can send via email. It will print complete page of discs and can be scaled to fit most caps.
And @AHC222 is right: there is something weird in how Excel handles "circles". They need to be slightly taller than wider so that they print correctly round (not oval).

Hello sergeant, can you send me this excel sheet, it looks exactly like those dope disks you could get from vortex (can't believe they stopped making them) And it would fit perfectly in my scope cap... thanks. ([email protected])Made this in excel. For some reason it looks vertically compressed, but prints perfectly round with all text visible. Works well for me.

Hello AHC222, stole your idea and made this.....View attachment 7157848 As you can see it's a small caliber as I am new to the game. We, in the Netherlands, have to start with a small caliber, when we start with this sport.
A big thanks to AHC222 for sending me his template in Excel and to everyone else that posted here and other places with ideas. I was having all kinds of problems prior, but with his template I was able to create this for my Vortex E-10 eye pieces. The only issue I am having is get the circle and the text at the top to stay locked together as one shape and the whole shape group to sit behind the text. More google and youtube in my future. Over all I am happy with it.Made this in excel. For some reason it looks vertically compressed, but prints perfectly round with all text visible. Works well for me.

Let me know if it doesn't work.
AHC222 deserves the credit as he sent them to me originally. For those that download it, it has two files that are basically the same. Each template is made of 3 layers so that you can change each layer to suit your needs. I am not an Excel expert, but a little Google foo got me started. If someone makes it better please send it to me or post it here.SixWhiskey thanks for the Dropbox share of the link to make our dope sheets! Nice thing for ya to do.
Can you please send to me at [email protected] - thanks brotherSent it.

What type of printer paper/card material do you recommend when printing out these DOPE disks! I am looking for a solution for my Schmidt Bender 5x45x56 scope. Any recommendations? [email protected]
P.s. there use to be a video on youtube where the instructor had a retractable DOPE tape that mounted on the side of the scope does anyone have any idea what I am talking about? Where I can buy it? It was like a tape you would print out your DOPE and when needed all you would do is pull out the tape look at your DOPE and then when you let go of the tape it would retract back into its housing. Cool little device but I could locate it on the Internet.
Would you be willing to send me your template? That is a great design!!I thought of buying them but decided to make my own instead. Gave me much more room for data and I can have as many as I need for other rifles/loads.

Nice! How did you set the size in order to print correct?I made this and other versions online on Canva in only about 30 minutes. I can definitely cram more dope in here too. I only went to 300 since these are subs. Happy shooting friends.
So in the Canva page, when you start a new project, you can customize the size. Either pixels or inches. I made the page 2”x2”. To print to size, it did take a small bit of trial and error to scale it just right to fit inside my Vortex Defender caps, but worth it in the long run.Nice! How did you set the size in order to print correct?
