Range Card and Dope Card

Every row is a distance with the two numbers you need at it: an elevation hold and a wind hold, in your scope's unit, with a letter for the direction to hold. Velocity and energy ride along on the right.

Nothing on the card is stored. Every row is solved against your active load, your locked wind call and the air you are standing in right now, and it re-solves when any of those move. The header prints the wind and the density altitude it used, so you can always see what the numbers were computed against.

• Tap a row and Live Fire dials to that range. On Apple Watch that also jumps you to the Live Fire page.
• The arrow button flips the sort between near-to-far and far-to-near.
• The MIL chip in the iPhone header flips both hold columns between your scope's dial unit and the linear spread at the target: inches in yards, centimetres in metres. It always wears the unit the columns are in right now. The watch card has no room for it and stays in the scope's unit.

Tap the share icon in the RANGE CARD header on iPhone. The card that appears is not a screenshot of the dark table. It is a purpose-built printable one, and it documents itself:

• Rifle, load, cartridge, bullet weight and BC.
• Zero range and sight height.
• The temperature, pressure, humidity and density altitude it was solved in, with the date and time.
• Your units, spelled out, so a card in a pocket is never ambiguous.

Then Share PNG for Messages and group chats, PDF for email and Files, or Print straight to an AirPrint printer. The QR code in the footer points at wristdope.com, so a card you hand a squadmate is also the way they get the app.

The table on screen is free on every tier. Exporting and printing it is part of Wrist Dope Pro.

• Tap a row. It lights up and Live Fire dials to that range, right above it on the same page.
• The arrow flips the sort between far-to-near and near-to-far. Far-to-near is where it starts.
• The MIL chip flips both hold columns between your scope's unit and the spread at the target: inches in yards, centimetres in metres. It always shows the unit the columns are in right now.

Out of the box the card runs from 0 to 1,500 yards in 100-yard steps. For most rifles that is a lot of rows you will never shoot. Three settings fix it: Range Card Min Range, Range Card Max Range and Range Card Increment in the SETTINGS section of ENV/SET. On the watch they are Min Range, Max Range and Increment under Range Card in Settings. Change them on either one and the other follows.

An airgun wants 10 to 100 in fives. A 6.5 Creedmoor wants 100 to 1,200 in fifties. Shorter cards are faster cards, on a screen and on paper.

Leave the minimum at 0 and the first row becomes the muzzle: the load's real muzzle velocity and energy, and in the elevation column the optic-over-bore offset your shot starts with, printed as the angle it subtends at your zero range. Wind shows a dash, because at zero distance there is nothing to drift.

Wear OS gets something the Apple Watch app does not have: a Range Card tile. Swipe from the watch face to your tiles and the active load's card is there, eight ranges with an elevation hold and two wind holds each, without opening the app.

It takes its rows, spacing and wind speeds from Widgets in the watch's Settings, not from the in-app card, so the tile can step by 100 while the app steps by 25. Watch Face Complications covers those settings and how to add the tile. It is part of the one-time Pro upgrade.
