Most comprehensive and detailed tutorial I've seen on something like this, I'm a layman when it comes to utilizing computers for shooting other than the 4DOF app, I wrap white masking tape around my turret and then go to work with a fine tip sharpy marker. This definitely shows off your attention to detail and maybe a little OCD😊, but thanks for taking the time to put this content together!
Appreciate the feedback, thanks for watching Sir!
@IMPACT SHOOTING it got me thinking about laser etched turrets and I was looking at Kenton industries website, not a turret, but on the accessories page they have a turret magnifier, looks like a little magnifying glass that bolts onto your scope in front of the turret, might be an interesting tool so you could use very small font and still see it clearly. Could add more information on the limited space on your ballistic tape. Just thought it was a neat idea, though may not be durable enough for hunting or PRS
You are such an ecxcellent source of information, knowledge and good advice. This was a great video.
Thanks Pieter. Just did mine in black with white lettering. Looks good! Awesome addition. Thanks!
Ive been doing this for years. Glad more people know about it!
I even got a ballistics calculator built in excel for old school Pocket PCs
Awesome! I use white electrical tape & a fine point sharpie marker. But it's really a matter of having a scope that is high enough quality or precision, so the clicks are accurate & repeatable enough to make it work! Great video! ✌️
This is the first I am learning of this but I appreciate it and I am will be working on these soon!
Was thinking about doing this already. Made easy by yourself. Thanks.
I use the exact same system on all my rifles, very handy indeed!
For rifles where I use different loads a lot I printed it for the load I used most and just have an "equivalent drop" dope table for other loads.
A bit more complicated to print, but I also shifted my zero to be near the centre of the label so I don't have the ends joining on my zero.
Last tip - print label on blank stickers from stationary store - get water proof ones, or add a layer of clear/matt sticky tape over it to keep it intact on rainy days!
Keep up the good work!
Very impressed with your work on Adobe illustrator! Great video and of course important point on environmental changes to ballistics
Great video! I had never thought of doing something like this. Like you said, it is a game changer!
My leupold scope came with this custom dial system its great to know how its done now I can do this for my other brands great video.
I love this! Very proactivite and forward thinking. A little effort up front to save you frustration later 👍
Awesome Piet. Thank you for sharing
Excellent Piet really enjoyed this educational video.
Great detailed instructions, thank you
I really thank you for such a amazing vidio, I was looking for it for one year and now thanks to I will be able to solve a problem! I love you man!
Love it! I use medical tape and write them by hand. This is a nice clean way of doing it.
I have the old school stoney point turrets on a leupold vx2 cool to see someone bring that back to life
Hey Piet, just a heads up TH-cam changed my notification settings to none from all just so you are aware. Thanks for all your content it is superb.
This is awesome! Thanks for sharing Piet!
My pleasure!
Thank you for sharing this information
Great video, we like to see videos like this more often😁
Outstanding, thank you!
Warrior Poet Piet!!!!
Great video
Thank you!!
Excellent bro! Excellent info.
Super awesome! Great video
Love this!! thank you.
Cool video this idea will save me some money. Love the shirt man! God bless
Thanks!
Thank you. We love your videos.
Excellent! I have done this years ago with my .22lr precision competition rifle and it works like a charm as long as the ammo is always kept constant. For those who hunt in dense woods this would be a God sent relief. One more improvement would be a vertical arrow that comes down down from the "Distance" number to the actual click position to make sure your eyes don't cheat you while dialing.
Great video.
Great video !!! Thank you
This is a really good solution. I was thinking about using masking tape before I found this video. Your solution is more professional and precise. I am looking forward to using this on my next hunt. Thanks.
You've earned my subscription
Greatest content
Great video!
Excellent video
Dankie!! I will now STOP using those little stickers, this is so much neater and more suited to me and my airguns.
I’ve just done this for my 223. I did use a free program from the Apple Store and it worked perfectly 👌👌👌
thanks for useful and fun video
That was freakin cool
Hi Piet, great video. I had commented in another post that here in Chile we have a company that manufactures ballistic labels (PLENO!) because the problem of making them at home is the material, it fails with high temperatures or water and sometimes they roll off when you are in the field. Before I had tried others from USA (CTS). Do you have a company that manufactures them there in South Africa? More videos like this !!
Brilliant
Amazing!
Great video Piet, het self laas naweek so cheat sheet op my scopes en dit werk soos 'n bom.
Fantastic!!!!
Great video
Ryan Steacy would be proud that your using an IBI barrel , ive got 2x of them and they are the best barrel in the price bracket
Baie dankie vir dit!
Thanks for the tip. That’s awesome. Now my wife can dial
Nice!
Cheers jou yster!
Ballistic tarts...sounds tasty!
Hallo van Oklahoma! Hou aan met die goeie werk!
Piet flipen awesome. You might get a lot of opinions on this one but do you hunt with target bullets?
Great idea, I am gonna do this :D Only I need first confirm my app data are precise enough :D
Hello from Florida! Man who thought my daily use of Photoshop daily would help me to take this hahah thank you!
Not gonna lie that's really cool!!! In your opinion I know you set this up for hunting but what about setting this up for PRS? Can you do a follow up using this method at a match think that'll be awesome! Keep up the great work happy shooting and many blessings to you and your family
Hello from Croatia
Love the shirt bro. WPS.
Nice sunglasses OAKLEY-HSTN
ive been doing this the reverse way for a while. i have a few of the cheap BSA "sweet" scopes (we dont all have that vortex sponsor money, lol) with the turrets that come set for a few different ballistic profiles, but none of them are "accurate", so i make a standard moa dial for them.
I would be interested in how you dial for and deal with a cold shooting of higher pressure when hunting. Do you log your cold shoot pressure. Then, go off that for hunting purposes. Thank you
I do mine with excel. Works easy and works well.
@@whome3911 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Yes it does!!!
Really cool! I’d probably go with electrical tape and mark off manually after verifying at the range. My simple mind has limited processing ability 😢
I wonder what paper choices would be good -- and/or, I wonder if you could "paint on" some sort of weather-proofing coating.
Game changer, and with out further ado makes me want to switch off when I hear that in any firearm related article or video.
Up to you, appreciate the comment
Don't care that the video is a bit longer, that was great
Great to see you in the comments Shooter! Big fan! 😊
Great work Piet, am I being too lazy in asking for the file? 😂 just got myself a razor gen 3
Hey there is no link for that arca scope mount in the description? What is it called thats a pretty cool product
ons benodig n video op die nuwe mdt timbr asseblief piet?🎉🎉 love die videos!
Big ask. Could you go through the box lines and such with InkScape? I did mine with a dodgy copy of Illustrator thats not on my new machine. It would make it even more accessible
Goood.
For the love of GOD man, take a Breath, Always good content, Old is new again hey.
Kicking myself 😐 Why didn't I think of this 20 years ago? Thank you Pieter. Ugh, still kicking myself. Rock on Sir 🤘😎
Very nice Video. I guess that if you are running a Zero stop/ Ref Stop that that might cause a issue to do the entire turrent as you will not be able to dial the entire circumference?
Im not hunting beyond that distance, so never a need to go a full revolution
Ek gaan dit vandag doen. Gereël met 'n vriend om Adobe Illustrator te gebruik. Baie dankie!
Groete uit Brisbane.
Lekker Piet daai is nou ñ plan hou van jou video's..wanneer kom jou jag video's uit??
Lamineer die papier met DC Fix of similar nadat jy hom geprint het, kan ook werk. Ekt myne met AutoCad geteken, kan ook enige CAD program gebruik. Net nog n ander manier :D
Can’t find the link for the scope pic to arca mount …?
This is one of the best videos I have seen I love it also I was wandering bout buying one of the arca to picatinny hybrid you call it I’m not 100% sure about the ran to US dollars I tried your converter but best I can come up with is 10us is this correct
Also it woulda been really nice if you woulda done the math for both mill and moa
$10 USD sounds right mate :-)
baie cool video
What other free program can I use??
Logical. I have the distance for each click on my turret. Might be small but I can see it. Just use strelok to work it out. One revolution(12moa) takes me to 600m which is more than enough for hunting. So I just range and dial.
How did I still use strelok?
Get a nice one from Kenton Industries Custom Turrets...They are the pros.
They literally emailed me today! Turrets incoming
What make is that tripod?
Great video piet. What watch do you use. 👍
Thats a Fenix 6 I believe
@@IMPACTSHOOTING cool thanks👌
what about altitude?
Why didn’t I think of that
I just can't stop thinking about how chunky that can is.
Is strelok geban in SA . of net in USA
Any advice which ballistics apps are best ? Most precise and free or even prayed ? And also which SW to use for reloading ammo ?
Well, Strelok is out of the running now
@@cadetbooth why's that? Edit: all good nvm, ffs strelok isn't putin.
Or get a revic pmr 428 find zero adjust ever 50 to 100 yards and engrave turret cap accordingly with laser engraver until you max out elevation. This works as a good back up if batteries for ballistic calculator die. So does a prs dope roller.
Revic looks cool, but out of budget for most folks.
Revics are banned in some US states. Along with other ballistic calculating optics.
Beginner here, what does the distances mean in the first place? Is that for vertical drop as you shoot further?
Jup
I always thought circumference was 2pi x r, not 2r x pi
Are these allowed in competitions?
Jup 100%
I used to do this with my rifles as well but with modern rangefinders with applied ballistics I don’t see a reason for this anymore.. you got to range the target anyway so why not just look at your dope right then and dial it? Let me know your thoughts?
When hunting with a guide as we usually do here in SA, they use their own binos so all you get is range 🎯
@@IMPACTSHOOTING most hunting here is done without a guide so your spotting and ranging your own animals.. so in your case I can see how that could be helpful..
If you had strelok installed you shouldn’t have lost it. I still have mine, on my phone and MacBook
