Why I started DialWRX
It began with my own rifle, a few friends who wanted one too, and an idea I borrowed from archery.
DialWRX didn't start as a business. It started because I kept getting burned at the range.
I love long-range shooting, and I reload my own ammo, so I care a lot about exactly how my loads perform downrange. More times than I'd like to admit, I'd get set up for a long shot and realize I'd left my drop chart at home. Other times I'd be way past cell service, reaching for a ballistic app that needed a signal it was never going to get. Standing there doing mental math on a shot I'd put that much work into got old fast.
The idea came from archery
I'm also into archery, and if you've shot a bow with a sight tape you already know where this is going. An archery sight tape puts your yardage marks right on the sight. You range the target, move the pin to the number, and send it. No math, no guessing. One day it just clicked. Why isn't my rifle scope turret set up the same way? Why was I converting MOA in my head when I could dial straight to the yardage?
So I made my own
I started building turret tapes for myself. Strips printed from my actual load data, sized to wrap my scope's turret exactly, labeled in plain yardage. Center the crosshair, dial to the distance, break the shot. It worked just like I hoped, and it made me faster and more confident in the field.
Then friends started noticing. They'd see the tape on my scope at the range, ask what it was, and a week later they wanted one for their own rifle. I made tapes like this for myself and a handful of buddies for a few years, just quietly, as a hobby.
The part where everyone tells you to start a business
If you've ever made something useful, you know how this goes. Friends and family kept telling me I should turn it into a real thing. For a long time I shrugged it off. It was just my little range hack. But the requests kept coming, and eventually I figured if this many people wanted an accurate custom turret tape without the hassle, I should build the tool I'd always wanted and put it out there for everyone.
That tool is DialWRX. You enter your rifle, your load, your zero, and your conditions. It computes your drop with my own ballistics engine and prints a turret tape sized to your dial. No cell service needed at the range, nothing to forget at home. Your dope is wrapped right there on the turret, ready for a glance with a gloved hand.
What I care about
I built this for shooters like me. People who sweat the details, reload their own, and want a clean, confident shot the first time. Every tape is computed from your real numbers and sized to your real turret. Preview it free, and only pay when it's exactly right.
Thanks for being here. If you've got a question about your setup, I'm a real person on the other end, so reach out any time.
