Heck, if you'll take me with you I'll care a ream of paper full of the printout for you! wink

If looking for innovative, I'd say a tatoo would be different.

They there would be some to argue where to put the tattoo for easiest access.

'Cmon Buzz, you know you want one! laugh

Easiest access for some on TV would be the back of the guides neck...

Winnie- I would only recommend that to those WITH a steady job and not those looking for it. But, what if it's cold, then you'd have to roll your sleeve up.

Ballistic Tat-ti-cool.

Oh yeah! cool



I'm surprised nobody puts their dope on their drag bag. Why hasn't anybody mentioned this?

Inovative ...

What about a heads-up drop-down display?

Or a cybercool eyeball with variable magnification and integrated drop and windage dope like mine? laugh

Does this make me look like a dork?

The local plastic surgeon is offering that service here too. May have to try that 1. Until then here's what i do for my reticles out to ~600 or so--

This one's on my 6.5 WSM XP-100 using the 140 A-Max at 2750ish and Darrell Holland's HUMR reticle. BC scope cap covers, 2nd is reticle rangefinding for an 11" back to brisket coyote (using a 1/2 mil subtension) in the Blizzard objective cover with the barrel rubber replaced with the std. BC cover for a tighter fit--


This 1st pic is for a different reticle actually as the true pic isn't in Photobucket now for some reason, but the same general idea--

435-yd. 1st shot coyote with the rig/dope--

...and reticle--

The only system faster than this is a ballistic reticle that actually subtends exactly (or very close) to intuitive hundred-yd. intervals, that is probably possible with a 2nd focal plane system (like Nikon BDC with Spot-On program, Zeiss Rapid-Z's, Exbal, or manually calcd. for magnification vs. subtension vs. trajectory).
