DOPE Card

A full trajectory table at the current wind settings, the card you would tape to a stock. Columns and range step are configurable per instance.

DOPE Card

A full trajectory table at the current wind settings, the card you’d tape to a stock.

Usage

  • Add from the palette. The row nearest the active range is highlighted.
  • Tap a row to shoot it. Every other widget (Elevation, Wind Drift, Scope View, Trajectory Chart and so on) re-reads there, so the card doubles as a selector. What a tap selects depends on the mode:
    • With Use targets on, rows are targets, so tapping one selects that target: it becomes the only selected target everywhere.
    • With it off, rows are plain ranges, so tapping one deselects any target and that range becomes the source. You are shooting at a distance, not at a target, and the target selector correctly shows nothing selected. The line of sight (bearing, slope) carries over from the target you left, so the row reads the same numbers it showed.
  • Selecting a bare range never shortens the card: it keeps its full extent so the further rows stay reachable. Dialling the range back onto a target’s exact distance (here or on the Quick Settings range stepper) re-selects that target.
  • Configurable (gear): three collapsible sections: Columns, Units and Rows.

Columns

Toggle each of Target, Range, Elev, Wind Lo, Wind Hi, Vel, Energy and ToF. They always render in that order, whatever order you switch them on in. At least one column must stay on. Target is only available with Use targets enabled (below).

Units

Per-card unit choices, independent of the profile’s own preferences:

  • Range unit: m / yd / ft.
  • Elev and Wind: MOA, mrad, inches, mm or clicks (shown only when the matching columns are on).
  • Vel: fps or m/s; Energy: joules or ft-lb.

Rows

  • Use targets: one row per target at the location, rather than a uniform range grid. With it off:
    • Use location range step: follow the location’s step interval, or turn it off and set Row step yourself.
    • Min range, and Use target max range: or turn that off and set Max range yourself.

Output

  • A scrollable table of solved dope: one row per range step (or per target), in the units chosen above.

Speed-of-sound bands

Rows are faintly tinted where the bullet slows through the sound barrier: amber from Mach 1.2 (entering the transonic region, where drag climbs steeply and groups can open up) and orange below Mach 1.0 (subsonic). The selected row keeps its green highlight over either tint.

Nothing is tinted when the whole table is already subsonic, as on an airgun or standard-velocity rimfire: there is no transition to point out.
