Re: What kind of Data Book do you us?
Why Impact Data Books of course! www.impactdatabooks.com Look at their web page and the multitude of options for pages that you can use to make your book. It's a total custom book where you can make what you need. Different paper types, different targets as well as all the tools you need. It's one stop hopping. Also if you keep an eye in this section of the Hide Tony usually puts up monthly specials and discount codes.

Re: What kind of Data Book do you us?
I use a "US Tactical Supply" because it was issued to me. It has a binder that allows me to take out and add pages as I need to as well as a wealth of shooting information. I have used others in the past as well as making my own. The trick is to find one that works for you and use it. If I were buying it myself I would go with one of the Hide vendors. I have not found a logbook that was so superior and unique that it stook in a class by itself. You are going to find they all have similar features with slightly different formats. Look at a few online and see which format suits you best. I like the smaller versions of logbooks. I like pages that allow me to draw my own target, and I use a template to keep it neat. Pages for round count, tracking your cold bore zero, range cards, movers and notes are all nice. Add a few information pages that include formulas, the sizes of targets, ballistic data, etc.. that you may use for a quick reference should you need it. Write in the rain paper is a definite plus. I like to have all this wrapped up in a cover that will protect it and hold a few other things used with it at the range, like a pen, the above mentioned template, a Mildot Master etc.

I picked up one from Mark at StormTactical.com and the FDAC cards from Tony at ImpactDataBooks.com. I've been happy with both.

Re: What kind of Data Book do you us?
I use the pocket size Impact Data Book. Being a hobbyist it is really convenient to be able to build the book specific to my needs. I also like the various blank pages since I shoot a lot of different targets.
I also recommend picking up a cover. I have one from 8541 Tactical that is very well made. Helps keep all the odds and ends together.

Re: What kind of Data Book do you us?
Ok. Good advice all around...
I think I have it narrowed between either IDB or Storm Tactical... I like that the IDB version has an option to get the whole setup at once, with all the cards and conversions etc.

Re: What kind of Data Book do you us?
Started by making my own using templates and photoshop. Then it got to be a pain in the ass making new pages. Then I lost my pages and templates so rather than start again from scratch I converted to Impact Data Books. Now I spend more time shooting than messing with the computer.
Nomad is a good dude and if theres a page idea you have or a reticle page you need he will get it produced if he doesnt have it already.

Re: What kind of Data Book do you us?
I use a US Tactical Supply because, as Driftwood said, "That's what I was issued" and that's what we currently have.
When I run out of pages or I can get us to upgrade, it will be an Impact Data book. They have a lot more flexibility and they keep coming up with new pages and innovations that make the current system just seem... quaint.
US Tactical is OK. No complaints. But IMHO the Impact books are the state of the art.
Cheers,
Sirhr
