I'm having trouble setting out my dope card in a quick reference / easy to read format.


Show us your dope cards, perhaps one of you fellas have a neat , simple and easy to read format.

I just use excel.

Show the cell borders and make every second row have a subtle light grey background so it's easy to follow the rows.

Columns in the sheet for me are:

Range --- Drop (inches) -- Drop (MOA) -- Clicks (Based on 100 zero)

I don't bother with wind.

Will post an example when at home.

Actually here, knocked one up at work.

Data is made up but formatting is correct. Obviously just continue adding columns for whatever is relevant to you if required.

Basic formatting stuff like that is easy.

Just select the lot, add border.

Select the row, add background colour.

Couldn't tell you much about formulas and the million other things it no doubt does, but that I can do.

Happy to do one up for you if you want to post some info here for me to use.
