I remember a video on the field sports channel of a man Marking out his trajectory using what he called sniper tape on his stock, does anyone do this or anything similar or know of any better ways
 
Either a card in your pellet pouch or one on the scope flipup
once you have all the data from range sessions

example
 
When I've plotted a rifle out, I mark the zero distance on the side of the scope ocular bell
I know the other aim points in 5 yard increments

Click charts for me, every yard from 10-20 then split more up to 55.

Same here. Can't do better than range, click, record impact. I do 5 yard intervals from 10 - 60. It was the only well trusted way before inbuilt BC calculators.
 
I made up a little spreadsheet on my phone with hold over/under for every 5m from 10 to 45, so it's always with me. Takes a second to range, another 2 seconds to look it up if needed.

Superb! Actually, over time I've memorised the elevation clicks for my FFP Hawke Sidewinder. Glad to say all my FFP scopes have half-decent open turrets.

Mero and some others will let you print of scope cap labels and scope tape.

Mikey at @Brit Seals sells scope cap labels you can then fill in yourself.

This seems like the best idea, I don't want to mess about with clicks and looking on my phone at chairgun just takes too long when hunting

See, that's the thing
You don't have to have anything to refer to, neither do you have to consult apps in the field

10-15 minutes playing around with a ballistic app, when you decide what scope and mounts you'll be using, means you only have to consult the app in the beginning
Alter the inputs (scope height, zero distance, magnification, muzzle velocity) to give you the aim points you want (I choose 5 yard increments after crosshairs). The only time I need to consult an app after that, is if I change something
