Gotta Love the way Wayne thinks. These templets work great. I did need to enlarge them some to fit on to my KX1. For some reason the template as sent was about 90% the size that fit the rig. Now I am ready to hit the field and travel. There is even enough room to write notes on the back if you do happen to have a pen or pencil handy, by just turning over the log. Thanks again Wayne for another great idea.
