Do you fellas have any idea how far it is from your position or from a good firing position to where your enemy may be?  If you don't know how far specific landmarks are away from your position or from a firing position that you would take in SHTF, well you need to know and write it down on your range card. 

Do you guys have anything else that you would like to add?

Good post.... Additional items that might help.....
Divide your Range card into sectors. For ex. A, B and C..... Efficient to index targets...
At your position note a magnetic back azimuth(label in degees and distance) to your RP.
Distances to TRPs can be lased, milled or scaled from a topo map.
In addition to noting your elevations its also a good idea to note your hold- offs for the
particular distances.
