Before you start

  • An active ballistic profile
  • Confirmed target distances
  1. Confirm the source

    Check the match, COF, stage, revision, and generation source shown with the active card before editing it.

  2. Name the field use

    Choose a card name that identifies the stage, training drill, or revision you expect to see on the range.

  3. Enter distances in engagement order

    Add positive target distances separated by commas. Existing target identities are preserved by position when you edit a saved card.

  4. Confirm units and repeated targets

    Verify the card's distance unit and preserve repeated engagements or target labels so a familiar number does not hide an order mistake.

  5. Save locally and recalculate

    Saving changes the durable card, but it does not certify the existing solution rows for new distances. Recalculate before field use.

  6. Review the rendered card

    Compare target labels, order, distance, elevation, and wind against the authoritative match document or your training plan.

Expected result

The active card has the intended source, target order, and a freshly accepted solution for every distance.
