    How to make your own custom dial turret

    I saw this on a youtube channel and thought it was pretty neat. I went to O'riellys and bought some taillight repair tape. Used a paper cutter to cut it into half inch strips. Then used a silver sharpie to make my marks. If you change loads just use some gun scrubber to remove the sharpie marks and make some new ones. I need to find a finer point sharpie but it will work fine for me. I make the 100 yards marks longer and the 50 yard marks shorter. You can still see the dial numbers through the tape if you need too.

      Turret Tags by Backfire are quick-adjust yardage stickers for any scope.  Simply apply the stickers to your scope to mark the correct yardage for any shot, then use the clear strip to lock the tags onto your scope so they don’t get bumped off during a hunt.  The stickers are waterproof and easily replaceable if you cha


      These are also a cheap option. The guy has a pretty good YouTube channel too, also named Backfire, and he uses them on his scopes in the videos.

          I just looked those up and I never saw a request for ballistic information in the order process so how are these specific to your gun?

            It appears to me they're a quick field reference. You do the math for your load and conditions then apply the tags where your gun shoots.
            For example on the pic in post 3, 3.5 moa is 400, that's a VERY flat shooting round if zeroed at 100.

              It’s not a ribbon. It’s individual stickers. So once you have dialed, shot and confirmed at say 300yds you peel the 300yd sticker off and put it on the turret. Dial for 400, put a sticker on, so on and so forth.

              Once you have the yardage stickers all on and confirmed, it has a protective piece of tape that goes on. You have to do the work to shoot and confirm your drop at distance, then apply each sticker accordingly.
