I put this little video together showing my new try at an LCD dope card. Let me know what you think.

I made one two years ago
I like it but the manufacturer of the screen wont work with me to make a version in the size most guys want. I manually cut the screen down and 3D printed the housing but that is not ideal for mass production
Well, I think the mass production is taken care of now. I put a link in the video of the exact unit I got, but you can get these for about $4 a unit. $11 for the one I demoed.
A little bit too large for me. I like a smaller footprint. But it is definitely better than the boogie board option I cut my version down from.
Amazon has dozens of different models available now. It’s nice that they are so cheap. Practically disposable.
Seems like a good idea, I snagged one to try out. Always wanted to try the Down Range Systems E-dope and still may someday.
The DRS system looks cool. I have the same curiosity.
I use the DRS after going from arm board, kestrel hud, hawkhill holder with white board cards, paper, etc. The DRS is great. Can’t recommend it enough.
Eh, just strap on of these bad boys o. Your rifle! Lol
I'm going to give it a go and see how I like it. It's a little bit bigger than I'd hope for, but the cards are a little bit smaller than I like also.
What are yall using to hold this on your arm or your rifle?
More shit that needs batteries
LOL
LOL
No batteries, waterproof, reusable, easily refurbished.
Oh man, those things. As a kid, they held so much initial promise, and got boring so fast…
Lol ok sorry @308pirate I don’t hate that armband. Don’t like it either. I ran across that pic and needed an excuse to use it. Cracks me up.
I just want a fucking arm band that I can write on (elevation and 3-4 wind holds), is NOT dry erase, doesn’t require me to poke a fucking flimsy paper card into a plastic sleeve, and will adjust enough to fit over coat sleeves. Am I asking for too much?
If you're good with "wet erase" than Armageddon Gear sells their armbands and also the velcro-backed whiteboards by themselves. I used them today during a rainy PRS match and the ink stayed on perfectly (comes off with an alcohol wipe.)
I’ll take a look at them. I shot a match today and used the LCD writing pad that is shown in the first post here. I used an arm/wrist band phone holder I got off Amazon to hold it on my arm. It actually worked like a fucking champ all day. Had 3 different people ask me about it.
Used this for the holder:

So, riffing off of @308pirate ’s underwater diver slate idea, here is a scrolling slate! Pretty cool in that you have 8ft of writing surface on your wrist. If you’re shooting multiple calibers you could have multiple DOPE on your wrist as well as an illustrated range card, a drawn map back to camp, the phone number of that hot chick at stage 5, your porny drawings of said chick, or whatever.

They have lined “paper”, graph, blank, and a bunch of diver-related scrolls that don’t really apply (unless you’re also a navy seal doing oceanic research).
aquaSketch Minno - AquaSketch
Though the aquaSketch Minno can be worn on the wrist, attached to a lanyard, or stored in a pocket it has many times the capacity of any existing dive slate. The Minno has a waterproof 2¼" X 3½" writing/drawing area that holds up to 8 feet of vellum so you'll never run out of space for notation.

After looking at some YouTube videos, it’s not quite as cool as I first thought. But, it’s an option.
