Easy DOPE CardsBuild a card

A bold reference for your arm board

The arm-board format starts at five inches wide and three inches high, in landscape orientation. It uses larger bold table text than the smaller stock and wallet formats.

Build an arm-board card

Fit the visible window

Measure width and height inside the holder's visible window or usable flat areaUsable widthHeightKeep text inside the visible area
Diagram only; not shown at actual size. Enter width and height in inches. Seams, curved edges, tape and lamination reduce usable space.

Measure the usable window of the holder, including any area hidden by its seams. Enter the card width and height in the builder. The starting size is a template, not a claim of compatibility with every holder.

Manual or preset ranges

The starting card has seven manual rows. Enter your own range labels or select a maximum for 100-unit preset steps. Manual and preset entries are kept separately, so selecting a preset does not attach an existing value to a different range.

The printed columns are Range, Elevation and Wind. Longer presets use two or three tables. Read down each table, then continue at the top of the next table to the right. Rifle, Load and Zero share the header, with Date below.

More space is still finite

The builder checks text width and row height. If a label is too long, shorten it or use a larger measured space. Longer prose belongs on a Match notes card or Range log, both available in the card library.

Get the blank manual template for Letter or A4, or use the builder for a filled card. Follow the actual-size printing guide and inspect a paper copy in your holder. Outdoor readability and physical fit have not yet been independently verified.

Use the print-and-photo checklist and actual-size reference outlines to record your own fit results. For help entering or pasting existing values, see transfer your recorded data.
