Dope sheets - whatcha got?

[Bret Heidkamp]

So what do you have on your dope sheets?  Do you use density altitude? 

Mine are set up very simply:  Distance in 25 yd increments after 300, wind is always at 10mph full value.   Numbers are in mil as I use a cm click scope otherwise in MOA rounded to next 1/4 (so it reads 20.75 not 83 clicks which I've seen on some sheets before)  This runs every 10 degrees of temperature for the day, and is set for the altitude I'm shooting at.  So usually there are 4 of them on one 8.5x11 sheet in my shooting rig.

Forgot to mention one important thing: the reason I set up my own sheets with 10mph FV wind, is that it is easy to adjust from this value.  Usually I end up with 5, 7.5, 12, or 15 mph wind at 1/2 or full value.  The math is really simple with a 10mph FV chart, and I don't need any additional columns this way.  Hope that makes sense.

I have three basic ones set up for different times of the year.  I call them my cold, mild and hot weather dope cards.  I've basically taken the the average humidity, pressure, etc. for various times of the year and placed them onto cards for 0 degrees, 70 degrees and 100 degree temperatures.  This pretty much covers me for winter, spring, summer and fall.  Although if I know I'm going to a competition, then I'll start watching the weather reports and mess around with the numbers in my Exbal program, to see if I get something that is way off from one of my three basic cards.  If they are off, I'll print up a new one for that particular event.  When I'm at the range, I'll take various readings during the day with my meter, and then plug them into the palm pilot, just to verify.

My cards are basically set up like yours.  I also use 10 mph wind.  My come ups are all in MOA, as I use the NP-R1 reticle from Nightforce, which is MOA based.  My turrets on the scope are also MOA.  I use 25 yard increments.  I've also got columns showing come ups for various angled shots, starting with a 10 degree angle, all the way up to 45 degrees, in 5 degree increments.  I do this, because I have been to competitions where shots are at some steep angles.
