DIY turret labels

I’ve hacked together a little online tool for designing and generating ballistic turret labels. Put in the parametres, download the generated image, print it, cut it out and tape it to the turret. Feedback and ideas appreciated. If you create something awesome with it please post som pics of the label on your rig.

I like it.
So if someone sent you specs for thier rifles
load you can plug it in and make tapes ?
You should be able to sell the hell outta those.
Nope - it's DIY
You just plot in the height of the turret, the diameter, how many clicks total, how many MOA or Mil per rotation - and provide the click table (click, distance): You can download and print the label yourself. Works fine using normal paper, scissors and scotch tape.
Play around with the other configurable settings - colors, font size, width of the "bands" - and create something which is not just functional but also looks great and will make people turn heads at the range ;)
 
Anyone have turret measurements for the 5-25 ATACR F1? I'm on the road and have all the other info but not the scope in hand. I'm liking the way it's looking so far
 
Most impressive! - I'll be the dummy and ask a newbie question. Please explain the units in the click table parameters.
Thanks, it’s not a newbie question - it’s me not having done much explaining in the tool ;) Yet
The table consists of comma separated values. Clicks, Distance. One distance per row/line. In the preset/default I have put the ballistics table for my favourite load. 3 clicks for 150 metres (I live in Denmark, so my clicks are made for metric units), 7 for 200 metres and so on. I,ve made the click table using hornadys ballistic calculator for my bullet at set atmospheric conditions and with measured v0.
 
Maybe you should play with the colors and font sizes a little - it's a lot of info and you need some contrast :)
I did play with the coloring. I've settled on this so far. Once I get it on there and use it I'll see if it needs changed. I still have young eyes so I think I shouldn't be too cluttered but I'll only be able to tell when I use it

Great!
BTW, you can get some more "real estate" by removing the label name band - where you put your load info (set its ratio to 0 and make the 3 lower bands higher - make sure sum of all ratios is 1.00). Some scopes have low turrets, like the one with the green label in the pics I posted.
